More effort should have been made last sunday, on what was, a dry sunny day.

Speedway, the Titanic of sports, whose captain and navigator are sailing us into oblivion.

I agree. It's a shame two full teams couldn't have battled it out. It was a non event in the end, as Mildenhall ran out of riders.

Same here, I'll leave it as late as i can, if the weather is still dodgy.

Still going to be touch and go.

The curse of Rye looks like striking again. If it's off, a quick restaging seems a necessity.

I don't think 14 will be enough for Mildenhall at fortress Arlington.

All of the forecasts look dreadful now.

Fingers crossed it's the latter!

Depends on what foecast you look at. The BBC looks poor, but the met office seems promising.

He's talking about Leicester Mike, not Kent.

I can't remember, it seems like a lifetime ago.

I remember watching them demolish poole 64 - 26 at wimborne road. They certainly were a great team.

The Belle Vue team from 1972 was very strong with a heat leader trio of Collins, Mauger and Sjosten.

The poole crowd on Wednesday did seem down on previous finals i had attended there. Last nights crowd at Lynn was probably the biggest since the world cup was last staged there.

Coventry has been a dead duck from the start really. Poor crowds and infrequent meetings have set the tone for the whole season. Some strange cancellations have not helped the club at all.

I went to both legs, and racing wise they were pretty poor meetings. The crowd at Lynn last night was excellent, which proves the play offs still have appeal with the paying public. Getting those people to turn up on a regular basis, is another matter.

It is what it is. The standard is so low now, top flight racing in this country doesent exist anymore. This years championship level will probably be next seasons top league.

Probably not.

Totally agree.

The panthers have survived quite a few of these scares over the years. With the sport at its lowest ebb in living memory, a knight in shining armour will be harder to find this time.

Totally agree. With rumours of a lower points limit for next season, it seems foolish to sign riders without knowing the format.

True.

An unsettled weekend coming up, so it might be irrelevant.

The lack of available dates at the showground, could be a big obstacle for any prospective new promoter.
