When your lucks out as they say.

This reminds me of when I had a team to support, weeks and weeks with no speedway (Grand Prixs excluded) and then when there is a meeting you get weather like this.

Another Monday, three Prem matches and BT Sport are showing nothing, what's the point of them covering the league? its not just the live meeting, its a round up of what has been happening, for the non regular fans/armchair fans, how are they supposed to stay invested?

Leigh Adams

If Essex ever gets another track it has to be modelled on this one, to the nearest inch, same shale, same track curators

Our tracks by and large are a bit like the roads in our towns and citys, they haven't changed for years and they no longer fit for purpose of modern day situations.

Great racing, Great crowd, its everything the sport should be every time, all the time.

or David Norris

The clue is in the phrasing Panthers89, he said he would like to ride it, not race it lol

Most the female interviewers haven't got a clue, but you have to understand its box ticking exercise.

More passing in the first four heats than we normally see in 15 heats on your typical Monday night meeting, regardless of the venue.

I would love to know what their secret is? they are an Island club and potential crowd base must be pretty limited, yet they are still able to run pretty much every week, often with the matches being fairly meaningless in the terms of what fans will support in modern day speedway, yet they not only remain viable, but are apparently flourishing. IOW must be the only club left who still runs a fixture list that is comparable to a 1980s National League club.

Re: Alfie, It was exactly the same for us at Lakeside lol The kid is a plucky trier but has such an awkward style and looks like he and the bike could part company at any moment.

Having seen some recent footage of the site, (Arena Essex) hardly anything has changed and certainly nothing has changed that would have prevented speedway for continuing, it’s makes me feel even sadder that the site is just sitting there doing nothing, when it could have been used for one more season and kept the whole exposure of the club going.

Another example of a promoter being stuck in the bubble and any fans view is instantly played down as rubbish no matter what, what would we know? We are just fans.

Trouble is Rosco is in the speedway bubble and what do people in the bubble do when they are not sure what to do? they go back to what they know worked in the past even if it means 10-15 years in the past.

Quit looking down at your engine, its not like your going to see anything! your just sh*t

ohhhhhhhhhhh Fillip Sitera ohhhhhhhhh Fillip Sitera

He is the modern day Fillip Sitera

passed by the green terror himself Peter Ljung, how bloody crap are we?

Yep, might as well brought Justin Elkins out of retirement

Eastbourne have a huge Arena Essex look about them, if Hammers had still be riding and Eagles had still been in the NL this could have easily been a Hammers team in 2019 and they would have been equally good at home and terrible away, a Leopard never changes it’s spots. Ben should have progressed beyond riding NL ages ago, it’s only held him back, most meetings on the island are very low key challenge meetings with only low to mid NL opposition, not going to be of any benefit to Ben.

I can’t fathom from afar what has happened to Nick and Jacob, only last season they started as number ones for their respective clubs. Nick I saw from his time at Lakeside and although he wasn’t as strong as I thought he would be was still miles better than his form suggests in 2019.

Ah that explains a lot, I never did find him in the game either.

Not really Keith, you have to remember that he is originally King Kenneth Speed, the biggest troll on this forum ever and still is.
