A shame he was the only rider who could be arsed to come round and acknowledge the crowd though... compare that with the BSN meeting at Worky yesterday where it was noticeable that after the majority of races the winner went round to accept the applause of the crowd, both home and away riders... it costs nothing

Well, as far as I am aware, they're the only organising body to have made any statement about the issue at all.

Nicely done 👍🏻

Did he get a pre-loved gown for winning rider of the night? 😂

Mine was fine-ish, the screen was occasionally going black for a split second, but I watched it this evening and not live. Android TV using TVBro browser

Mown, mown, mown 🤷‍♂️ 😉😂

It's sport and anything can happen (sometimes 😉) that's why we all follow it. I'm not one for making predictions as you can often end up with egg on your face and it's all a bit pointless imo, I much prefer to comment on what has happened. I was expecting a hiding at Sheffield last Thursday and unbelievably we came away with an 8 point win, it only takes 1 "decent" rider to have an off night, or the track to be not quite the "usual" and that can have a massive effect on the final result.

Not sure where I got £0.30 a race from 🤷‍♂️ But a fiver a race works out around £500 over the course of a 24 match season. But whatever it was, I assume it was a flat rate whatever your ability? Meaning the better riders subsided the less experienced riders? Seems a bit daft for the SCB to not be doing it anymore, they could even have skimmed £0.10 per race as an admin/arrangement fee.

Question: If in previous years riders were being deducted £0.30 per race was this a flat rate per rider covered under an agreement covering the whole league? If that is no longer the case and riders are responsible for their own insurance will lesser experienced riders be paying a higher premium than more accomplished riders? That's actually 2 questions... 🤔

A bit like the league championship then...

Yes, just received my notification of today's meeting 👍

As an aside, from memory, Kylie Howarth was the only rider to come round for applause from the crowd after his heat 7 victory, great crowd engagement?

There was some good close racing last night, Jack Holder looked like a World Champion when passing Masters and then Morris but strangely was a pretty distant 3rd in heat 13... even Drew Kemp made a pass!

Let's not hope this is as good as it gets lol There is still much to be done

Because trying to make sure PL promoters do as they're told is like trying to herd cats! 🙀

If anybody runs into a Northamptoningham fan at King's Lynn can you explain to them why they've not been knocked out of the Knock Out Cup if they lose 😁

KLM cancelled 160 flights yesterday...

If not, surely he'd be at Northamptoningham on the 30th 👍🏻

A bit unusual for a Premiership CEO 🤔

Special mention to Joe Thompson, looked like he was going to pick up his scoring drought where he left off last season early on at Belle Vue but then since has showed some real signs of progress 👍👏

... In a sport that is so scared of jeopardy it's even removed it from the KO Cup!

BLOODY HELL! Did not see that coming 👏

Kemp pulled back from the tapes in heat 12 just as the 2 minutes counted down... could have easily gone for that!

DJ Woffy effin & jeffin over the PA while being interviewed 🤔😂🤷‍♂️
