Good, it would be nice to see some photos of the track.

Is Duns completely up and running now.

I will always gamble if it's local, but i would never travel long distances in dodgy weather.

The closure of Linlthgow put the brakes on that production line.

I much prefer an early call off. It's the tactical ones i can't stand. Hose pipes left on or electrical faults if riders are missing.

After cutting my speedway teeth at Wimbledon, the thing that struck me about West Ham was the sheer size of the place. It was only half a stadium when i first went in 1970. I'd love to have seen it in its original state.

Only on occasions Steve!

You beat me to it. He was bloody awful!

I was born in Wimbledon and because Plough Lane was the first track i ever went to, i became a Wimbledon fan. West Ham was the first away venue i saw the Dons at, and to this day i still have a soft spot for those happy Hammers!

How right you are. Too wet, too dry or too sunny!

The forecast for the island on thursday seemed to change on an hourly basis. From heavy showers to a dry afternoon and evening. The radar looked promising so i went for it. It turned out to be perfect speedway weather. Sometimes you have to go with your gut instinct!

He did, i was at the meeting. He laid on the track for nearly an hour because the paramedic was reluctant to move him. He came out of the bend and straightened up. It was a nasty incident.

He had a horrific crash on the island a couple of years ago. That might have been playing on his mind.

As an Arlington regular, i know exactly what you mean!

To go the whole season undefeated in the league is a brilliant feat, even if they did lose the play off final.

After the brilliant Fen Tigers team of last season. This years side has a very different feel about it.

It was a normal race night and the meeting attracted a decent crowd. The programme was an awful glossy brochure covering a multitude of sports with a plain racecard inserted inside.

For sure.

He really struggled with the track last night, and from memory fell four times. The R/R picks were bizarre to say the least!

With so few meetings to run, it shouldn't be hard to rearrange.

I agree, i was there for the Somerset meeting last week. The racing was great, but the crowd was poor considering the good weather and the school holidays. I don't blame the Mason's for pulling the plug tonight. When it rains, the fans don't come

I used to travel all over the place when i was younger, but i don't have the motivation now. The NSS is a great track that i have visited 3 times, but speedway is all about geographics for me these days.

It's ok if you live local, but i wouldn't travel miles to watch it.

As long as you're happy everything must be alright then. The fact that there wasn't a track grade until after heat 8 is ok by you, when clearly the riders were struggling with conditions. You should try taking those rose tinted glasses off, you might see better.

Very similar to Terry Betts in years gone by. Although there was a lot less traffic back then.
