I've banged that drum for years, but the promoters don't listen.

Brighton are the team in their neck of the woods.

Eastie said they were going to run meetings regardless of TV distractions this season. It hasn't taken long for the old habits to return.

I've been told the plug has been pulled because of the football.

That's where the wonga is.

I didn't see or hear any.

Kerr is having a few days off according to the Eastie website. After last nights sickening crash, i don't blame him. It happened right in front of me, a real scary incident.

Why not use Lawson in both meetings.

It was. Last thursdays meeting was brilliant, with multiple passes in most races. Interestingly there was only 1 tractor grade after heat 10, and only the ouside line was graded. This worked a treat with plenty of oustside manoeuvres by the riders.

Awful looking crash with Kevin Doolan. He was taken to hospital by county ambulance. Both riders went through the air fence and ended up on the stock car track.

Did have the last time i went. It looked awful.

He certainly used the same ploy at Romford. I can still remember the pain i felt getting filled in by his back wheel at Brooklands. That low concrete wall offered very little protection for those of us silly enough to stand near it.

They say that about every meeting, good or bad!

The dynamic duo would have wet themselves if it had been on TV.

Historically Peterborough have never had good crowds on a midweek race night, so yesterday wasn't too bad. Everyone wants more, it's just human nature!

Andersen politely shut the door!

I remember Chris Harris getting excluded twice at Lakeside a few years ago. He ended up going back 30 metres!

The problem is, the average age of the speedway fan will dictate if the stand remains open. A seat is the minimum requirement for the majority.

If i lived in the frozen north I'd be there every meeting, instead i had to content myself with a humdinger of a match at the East of England Showground. The sacrifices i make!

It looked a decent crowd for a thursday night. A fabulous meeting tonight. Well run, hard fought with some fantastic racing. It shows what can be done when all the ingredients come together, speedway at its best!

Could have been a lot worse, sounded a nasty one.

From the euphoria of last season to the misery of this. What a devastating end for the Comets and their fans.

Reminded me of Phil Crump at Somerton Park Newport, with his back wheel on the fence for most of the race!

Tough looking Pirates line up.

Eastbourne's crowd was well down last saturday. Attendances are usualy good at the start of the season, maintaining those levels is the hard part.
