He's talking rubbish. Doyle only has Swindon meetings and a couple of GPs left. He's done in Poland and Sweden. Probably his quietest spell of the season.

Belle Vue v King's Lynn 26/08/19
CB252 replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Dreadful meeting it must be said. Should have stayed in bed. Don't think I can cope with a wobble fest at Wolves on the way home. British Speedway eh! -
Peterborough v Belle Vue - Prem Mon 15th July
CB252 replied to bigcatdiary's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The answer to that is nobody. Apart from maybe Starman who thinks others are jealous of Poole winning this highly prestigious competition. The worst meeting I've ever seen at Peterborough. British Speedway is dead from the neck down and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. -
Poole v Kings Lynn. Prem. 4/7/19
CB252 replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Cook went charging up the inside of bend one. It is still a bit bumpy there. He carried too much speed into the corner and nailed Josh. No point getting upset about it. Josh was fine with it as Cook apologised. -

Trcak is much better to be fair. Decent match. Seen way worse. Suspected appendicitis for NBJ. -

From Grajczonek at the press conference, 'Cookie hit the bumps, came across the turn, took me out, apologised'. No further action. Case closed. -
Poole v Kings Lynn. Prem. 4/7/19

That's a shame, that was shaping up to be a great race. Cook certainly shut the door. Difficult to see the full picture from the grandstand over to bend two though. It's actually been a much better meeting since the enforced break. -

It's not too bad. Still looks a bit bone rattling on the inside of bend one. Heat 11 a great race between Toft and Holder. -

It's better than it was, but far from smooth. -

Dreadful week for the sport up and down the country that's exposed lack of medical cover at UK meetings. Peterborough did manage it quite well on Monday, with the presenter interviewing anyone he could get his hands on, but the crowd are being left to get agitated here. -

At Peterborough on Monday the paramedic managed to get to hospital and back in the time it's taken to do the last two heats here. Thank god I haven't got to drive home after the meeting. No idea what NBJ has done but he looked fine 25 minutes ago at the top of the grandstand when I chucked some money in his collection bucket. Now he needs a hospital trip?!! -
The majority of meetings that people have moaned about at Boro this season have been when the track has been grippy though. The Swindon match had a grippier track, times a couple of seconds quicker and there wasn't a single pass in the first 9 heats until a cracker in heat 10. The meeting drew praise because of a handful of decent heats at the end and, presumably, a home win. Race for race there was more passing last night than in the Swindon meeting. The account on updates for last night matches what I have in my head in terms of passes executed. I have no team anymore so completely impartial. Even the bad meetings at Peterborough are better than what I am seeing across the country. Probably why the sport is in a mess in the UK.

Panthers v Witches 1/7/19 Premiership
CB252 replied to dontforgetthefueltapsbruv's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Yet whoever did the updates reports passing in about 10 of the 15 heats, which backs up what I saw with my own eyes. Not sure where you're watching your speedway but it must be amazing, and certainly not Ipswich, where I've never seen any racing like last night in 35 years of being a speedway fan. There have been gate and go meetings at Boro this year, although those meetings have still been better than I've witnessed anywhere other than Belle Vue having attended about 25 meetings so far this year, but this wasn't one of them. Heat 11 was a blinder, yet you criticise Tungate for being overly robust in passing Lawson. Not sure whether you want racing or not? -
Peterborough V Swindon 20th June
CB252 replied to maneacat's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
What was he doing? Did he forget why he was at the meeting? I mean, even if Jensen or Doyle didn't fancy it, Perks should have replaced the abysmal Starke in 14. Rosco often comes across as being a bit dim, but still hard to believe he forgot to use a TS in the only race he could have used it. -
Prague GP, Saturday June 15th 2019
CB252 replied to STEPHEN 333's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
The most embarrassing aspect of the evening from a British perspective, once again, was Craig Ackroyd's performance. Absolutely dreadful.
