Shadders

Heavy traffic, road works, ducks crossing the road, make up your own. Rumour is the ambulance was held up at the roll road as the driver didn't have 50p to get through.

No worries tomorrow then

Gonna be an absolute slaughter.

Thankfully Tom Perry has only severe bruising to his shoulder. Lewis Rose has serious pelvic injuries. Remarkable performance from the remaining Rebel riders. We threw a point away, but to be honest I'm passed caring. 10 minutes short of 4 hours to run 15 heats. Do me a favour!!

With a stop to change driver and a detour due to motorway closure!!

The track was far too dry. Only remember a light sprinkling during the meeting. Very much gate and go. Anyone trying the wide line usually lost ground. Only the second time I've been to the place, so I couldn't say if that was a typical meeting. To cap it all off the last portion of chips was sold to the guy ahead of me in the queue!!

Disappointing result for the Bandits on a gate and go track.

All I heard announced is that was he was "under the weather" All but Kennett can take an extra ride. John Andersen listed in the programme as team manager, but Dennis McCleary and Dick Barrie are in the pits too

Rider replacement for Aspegren. You sticking with that prediction?

It was Bristol. Lucky I had an atlas on the back seat, so I could plot a route through the city centre, cos B4E has absolutely no sense of direction. I hope to be asleep by the time we hit the M4 this time

Haven't checked the paperwork, but I guess the restraining order has run it's course. Loads of rain on Friday, but looking good for Saturday http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646807

It'll be a happy journey home if they do. Nothing worse than a long journey home with B4E when the Bandits lose!

Only has one bike I'm told. Possible for next year if he's interested in a PL comeback

Don't know much about Aspgren to be honest

No I won't

Indeed...http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Sport/Speedway/Aspgren-to-Join-Rockets-20130627154049.htm

Pretty sure I read Grajczonek guesting at Newcastle for Rye. Doolan only dropped a couple of points from memory when he was last at Rye in the league with Redcar last year. Haven't had the food at Rye for a couple of years, but people tell me the standard have dropped in the chip bar. Was a terrific meeting in the LC. Always enjoy watching Doyle race. Somerset to nick it by 2-4 points.

Remember Woffy Snr breaking a collarbone in the Poole match? His second ride I think. Remember we lost 38-40 to eventual champions Poole, but we hammered Edinburgh (including a young Mark Burrows) by 30 odd. Silver, Garrad, Mullarkey, Woffinden, Stevens, Rolls, Brice. Think that was the line up. The programme is somewhere in the garage!

I agree. £20 is excellent value. My first ever live speedway meeting was a double header at Rye House, v Poole & Edinburgh in 1985

Kasper Lykke is looking for a lift from Denmark and a mechanic for Friday!!

In 2005 I'm guessing *EDIT* Just dug out my 2006 yearbook. Away wins at Hull 10/8/05 (46-44) and Stoke 17/8/05 (49-46)

That's a bonus for Berwick, he's been flying

Was hoping for more than 3 points from him and only finishing ahead of Ben Morely and Jason Bunyan. A real let down and cost us a point at least.

Indeed. She's suffered many an away trip with me following the Rockets over the years, so fair dues. Could be the makings of a decent match if the Bandits are firing. The added bonus of seeing Kasper race will make it worthwhile. Some of the friendliest speedway fans I've encountered at Plymouth. I'm prepared to suffer the moods coming back should the Bandits lose, I'm used to that, but that'll be nothing compared to the fury should the actually win and we didn't go!!

Making the 500 mile round trip just to keep the other half happy. Leaving after work at 1.30pm and racing home after for a quick 3 hours sleep before rising for work on Saturday morning at 5am... Marvellous Kasper Lykke guests in place of Nicki Barrett http://www.berwickba...plymouth-devils
