riders at any level need a decent and safe track to race on. The surface at Central Park is awful considering it is over a year old. If things don't improve, the crowds will drop and none of us want that.

A decent meeting today that hotted up as the match wore on. Well done to the Ipswich promotion in booking two ambulances, which enabled both incidents to be sorted with minimal delays. Get well soon to both riders

the track should have been sorted out during the winter months. I thought it looked really poor for the king's Lynn meeting, this helped me decide to go to Ipswich today instead. If thing's don't improve at Central Park, I will have to consider cutting down on the amount of meetings I attend there.

Out of the four tracks i go to on a regular basis, i would say that the lakeside and kent crowds are pretty healthy, but rye house and eastbourne could do with a few more punters!

Plenty of financial problems down at Plymouth, with talk of closing unless crowds increase. Where does this leave the NL team.

I really do fear for the future of speedway at rye if they did pull a stunt like this. No doubt some fans turned up tonight expecting to see a meeting, not all of us have internet access.

It was pretty wet south of the river yesterday shads, but at lakeside last night it was dry and had been for most of the day.

I'm surprised it's off so early. The BBC forecast is for a dry late afternoon and evening, no doubt Len is saving the track for next weeks semi!

The track was poor on monday and seems the same as last season. The air fence looks very good but the riders also need a decent surface to race on.

It's a no win situation. I went to rye house on Sunday where it rained from start to finish. The meeting was run but the crowd was awful, with plenty of people giving it a miss due to the poor weather.

i was surprised uncle bob resigned him to be honest.

When I saw him ride on the Isle of Wight last year I was shocked at the size of his pit crew complete with name boards, the type you see in the Grand Prix. He certainly is a big talent and has come a long way from those pre meeting spins he used to have at rye house.

Leicester's first ever visit to purfleet interests me and I'm looking forward to it!

Sounds like a leg pull to me!

I'm not a big chris neath fan, but he is the best rider i have seen ride the rye house track. He could overtake on parts of the track that no other rider could, and i have been a rye regular since 1972!

It was pretty poor viewing from the bends at the launch pad on Saturday. The new air fence means I've lost my spot in the middle of bends three and four and I will miss watching the do or die efforts of certain riders round the final two turns at rye. The air fence seems to be mainly free standing with very little to support it and to stop riders going underneath it in the event of a high speed fall.

I hope the weather stays fine for this fixture, leicester's first visit to Arlington since 1983!

no judge in his right mind would shut down a football ground in this country. Some clubs can go bust two or three times and still stay in business. Football seems to be above the law in most cases, and I'm a big fan of both football and speedway.

I remember a certain southern track reducing the admission price when scunny were the visitors in the 1970's.

Why go to this dogs dinner of a meeting eddie. I thought you would have been at leicester for sure. I went to rye last night, you will be suprised at the track changes and the viewing from the bends!.

I totally agree with you Eddie. I'm finding it harder to justify spending money on speedway these days, weakened line ups, stupid rules and a race format that will take a few weeks to get used to, and the season has only just begun!

Any official line ups for this meeting yet!

Just seen a preview of the hammers on bbc 1 london news. A nice suprise to see this on tv.
