What an improvement from Lions number 7 position! Gilkes won heat 2 and whenever he was behind he was always buzzing around his opponents back wheel... Lions now riding with the team they probably should have started with, should be good for 4th or 3rd in the league (injuries permitting)
Cracking ride from Musi in 15 👏
Compare that to the division 2 crowds of both meetings this afternoon... and what top league crowds in this country would give for any of those numbers seen out in Poland watching live Speedway today!
I hate to interrupt the Poole love/hate fest... but a shout out to young Joe Thompson with 14(+1) big points and a match winning 2nd place in heat 15 👏
Reading the words "Track Waterlogged" did seem a bit fishy, especially after around 3 weeks in Leicester without any appreciable rain... but it did rain again at 19:30 so probably the right call in the end
Erm... his dad bought the club.
And why do foreign riders come over to ride in the UK? It's not to pin the throttle around the NSS, it's certainly not for the money, it's to ride the Ippo's, Birmingham's, King's Lynn's, Leicester's etc. To make them better technical riders.
You may call it negativity, I call it realism. Who owns the land? You can't just go around opening Speedway tracks on other people's land without their say so. The Local Plan is just being ignored at Peterborough, it clearly states a new facility should be provided if the existing one is demolished, there is no sign of this happening. The Local Plan is only a guide and doesn't seem that it is legally enforceable.
At Brandon, nothing has changed.
