Well done Berwick, good win. That's my early night sorted then

You know me Sid. Bitch and moan like hell, but back the next week for more... Already planned my visits to Redcar & Scunthorpe in a couple of weeks. Not expecting much, but you never know.... I may have been a little harsh on Simon in the heat of the moment after a disappointing defeat. He just looks so awkward and so unsuited to the Rye House track. A baffling signing

I respect your right to an opinion, but don't respect your opinion. Is that better?

From the comfort of your armchair, brilliant! Real fans feel the pain of defeat as well as the sweet smell of victory. I've been there for the good days as well as the bad, so I've had experience of both. Been there when we've lost by 30+ points at home as well as witnessing some heavy defeats away. All forgotten the next day and looking forward to the next meeting. Pleased to see Nelson back in the points and looking competetive again. Couple of blips when he looked like he expected the ref to call them back in heat 5 and looked like he laid it down in heat 13 when Auty locked up, but he was well adrift of the leaders by then anyway. Puzzled as to how Robbo has learned to gate. Couldn't buy a start when he was with us in 2005/6. Perhaps he could give Kasper a few lessons

Hope I catch him on one of his bad days when we visit in August

My tooths fine. How's that armchair?

It's one of the sports undying qualities that armchair fans feel they know better than those who were actually there

It's a South London hospital, so I expect that most of the patients are very nasty.

Not the heavy defeat I was expecting, or the forecast rain, but pretty hard to take that defeat nonetheless. Rider replacement scoring 4, when Garrity would've scored many more, and another Lambert horror show done us in tonight, pulling some weird shapes to keep us amused. An off night for Jason B compounded the misery. A full strength Rockets side would've taken 3 points, no problem. Hard to fault the choice of guest. Auty at least tried, but gating again cost us dearly. The Diamonds, even taking away the rolling starts, were too sharp away from the tapes too often. Another sparse crowd as well to add to the misery. Silvers programme notes added to the general malaise around the place with reports that Olly Allen will be out for another 6 or 7 weeks and Jason G's leg break not healing as well as expected. Another 2 weeks at least until we see him back. At least Kasper showed some improvement, but still pi$$ poor from the gate. A rare foray away from the white line had him pass someone on the outside for once. Always a treat to watch Robbo and Lewis Kerr banged in some vital points. Somerset visit next week. Oh joy!.

Ours will be at a Turkish restaurant in Finchley

A a lot more to come if you believe the BBC weather forecast, which is usually reliable... Plan B is ready to be implemented

Been raining all night in North London. Loads of standing water. My money is on an early postponement.

Pretty lame effort there...Is that all the Sheffield born personalities you could think of?

Joy of joys, we have a PL double header on the 20th July, Glasgow and Sheffield... Starts at 6pm.

I shouldn't think Saturday night TV is the agenda. It's more than likely the terrible form we're in at the moment and where the next win is coming from. Take a look at our next few fixtures. Home to Newcastle and Somerset, away to Newcastle, then a trip to rejuvinated Plymouth before facing Redcar away in the KOC... Bloody hell!!!

Almost a carbon copy of the Rockets performance at Ipswich last night. Good from the top 3, but one second string and the reserves a huge let down.

I suspect they'll not be a desperate effort to get this meeting on

I kinda get the feeling he was too

Aspegren obviously taking the pi$$. Nice low average for his new team next year

There are enough idiots on that thread without adding another

Luke's had the rod out of his leg I was told and will be building up the muscles. Expect to see him doing a few laps soon.

Totally agree.

I thought the racing was pretty decent. Most of the heats were closely contested. Bunyans pass of both home riders in heat 4 was my personal highlight. I really fail to see how some people could moan about the level of entertainment served up last night.

Never seen stocks at Ipswich, but I'll hazard a guess the crowds are much larger that for speedway. I've attended Arena Essex for bangers/stocks in the past and the crowds are huge.

Here we go again... http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646807
