Shadders

They are fussy pedigree racers, so you'd have no chance, especially with that beard

Forget that. Do one of my brothers dogs. Dinner Hunter in the 9pm at Wimbledon.

As I predicted

Met office say 80% chance of heavy rain from 4pm turning to light rain by 10pm Can't see this getting started. I reckon they'll wait until around 5 and call it off, if not earlier.

Would prefer to see Ben Morley rather than Kasper at reserve at home. At least the kid can gate and he's found some aggression recently going into the first bend.

Not good for you Ken, especially with the footie season underway

Running out of available dates. 28th September is free, or another bleedin double header on 7th or 14th. We also have to factor in the KOC should we get past Redcar on 31st August

No need to go for an early rain off unless the track is saturated. Ipswich is out local derby!!

Weird sport. A team dispatched home and away last weekend win comfortably at Redcar, a side that has been up around the top of the league all season.

Rye v Ipswich encounters are usually lively, entertaining affairs. This one should be no different. The possibility of a Jason Garrity return after a long lay off and doubts over Olly Allens arm injury make this a hard one to call. Cameron Heeps was injured at Ipswich last night, so doubts over his fitness too. Hopefully a decent attendance despite the Latvian GP on Eurosport, but the forecast of heavy showers and light rain may put a few off

I'm talking about serious life threatening injuries. I've got a lot of time for Adam, PL winner with Rye House and all round good guy from all reports, but I don't want to see him end up in a wheelchair, or worse

Time for Adam Roynon to call it a day before he does himself some serious damage

I should think the same rule would apply whether he was reserve or in the main 1-5

I've seen a close up photograph of part of the track showing a rock sticking out of it... That ain't normal surely?

Pretty sure that Len & John would've checked with the BSPA, so no problems there. I'm still not 100% convinced that Jason will ride Saturday. It's a tough one against Ipswich. They're no mugs

Steve Boxall is much too good for this league. What a wasted talent

I was under the impression that the green sheets were issued once a month and took effect on the 1st day of each month.

Rider safety is paramount. Nor sure whether Tyson Nelson's fall in heat 3 was anything to do with being blinded by the sun. The delay didn't detract from the enjoyment of the meeting, not for me anyway

Agree with you Bolly. Jason at reserve would be a big ask after so long out. The likelihood is that he'd have to take an extra ride to cover Kasper, who's been less than effective, especially away. He'd be better off at 3 or 4 while he settles in and let Pontus take any extra rides, especially if Jason is feeling his injury during a meeting I'm not totally convinced he'll be back this weekend anyway.

Karlsson round Grajczonek on bend 4 lap 1 in heat 15

Probably celebrating taking the extra match point away from Rye House Rye House team manger John Sampford told us that Olly's arm had swelled up overnight, the result of having it bashed into by Jan Graversen in heat 1 when Olly fell... Josh G was asked to guest on Sunday morning if I remember correctly I'm back in a couple of weeks with the Bandits Gemini I was puzzled as to why they waited until Alex had his third ride before withdrawing him from the meeting when it was clear that he was struggling after his first.

I'm always impressed by the friendly welcome from the staff at Leicester Speedway. Even one of the stewards remembered me from last year as we were leaving the stadium. Looks like new people running the food wagon behind the home straight stand, Turkish guys I'm guessing. Very efficient and polite. Nice jacket spud with beans , a welcome change from the usual greasy stuff you find at most tracks.

I saw a family wearing Leicester City shirts troop in just before the start

Well, that shocked a few people. Even I would've been happy with a point. In the end young Josh Bates with his 2 important points made the difference. A very happy Rye House fan

Josh's last visit to Leicester in June... 3, R (at the gate), 6!, 2' = 11+1
