So, what do you think to Plymouth Speedway on your first visit Alun? "It's better than no Speedway"

"Scott Nicholls is in two man's land" Brilliant!

I think Alun Rossiter is the British Sam Ermolenko

Good to see a stand named after Colin Hill... not enough stands in speedway named after the sports personalities (Belle Vue!)

Rob Lyon just been on the PA to apologise to the fans... at last

Bad luck apparently, that's what it was at Belle Vue... i wonder what Lyon will come up with tonight

Thank goodness!

Agreed... but i also think that when somebody responsible does take the time and trouble to come on here to explain what has actually happened they should be applauded for doing so. The special one has apologised over the PA and the track man has explained the reasons for the poor track. I can't see that there's a great deal else to be said on the events of last night

Calm down lads... it was only a crap track mainly made so by the weather... it doesn't really matter who's said what to who on what. The racing has generally been excellent so far this year and hopefully it will be again when the Lions are back on track

Same here... it's been bumpy all year but has certainly produced some fantastic speedway, last night for whatever reason most of the riders just didn't seem up for racing

Hmm... Troy Batchelor was in town, the only rider I saw get into any trouble was Josh MacDonald and he was coming back from injury too soon anyway and made a pigs ear of turn 3, other than that as a fan watching from the outside I couldn't have said there was anything wrong with the track... strange one

Well, I think you've done a grand job so far this season...not quite sure what went wrong last night as the riders didn't seem to be getting into any great difficulty, as far as I could tell some were lifting coming out of the turns but that's about it. For whatever reason the riders didn't seem up for it, hence the strung out "racing"

I think half a billion people have been affected by it...

I wonder why they chose to do it mid-week, mid-season and not pre-season? Especially as the holes in the track were there for the whole of last season

It was back to the bad old days tonight... with the tractor racing only interrupted by those pesky speedway bikes now and again

Fair play, the special one has just been on the PA to apologise for the track conditions... instead of sending the tractor out again perhaps he should go out onto the track with a spade and put the holes back where they were

7:30pm: 4 minutes of speedway racing, 26 minutes of tractor racing

Oh dear, 2 races down on our new super smooth track, no home race winners and tractor grading already! ... and dust

I've heard there's a bit of a bug going around...

Nicki Pedersen is a bugger for this... it's first or nothing for him

understandable, coming from Poole, that you don't know what a 'motorway blade' is

mine has always stayed logged in so far, both on my phone, pc and TV

Suggestion: How about opening a twitter thread for the meeting so the commentators can answer questions or raise points of discussion. Works well for Dave Goddard when he does his Premier Sports commentary, can also help fill in gaps etc.

Hope so, maybe the bumps were contributing to the good racing... we'll find out Saturday. Good to see Anders Rowe announced and the rumour about Matthew Gilmour seems not to be true (yet)

Not that I agree that Nigel needs replacing as Kelvin ticks all the boxes for me as far as a lead commentator is concerned, there's only one logical choice for me and that would be Darren Fletcher... he used to do the centre green at Peterborough for a while and has done a bit with Tai I believe, but I bet he's not cheap. And that's the trouble for those of you that want Kelvin back as a co-commentator, now it's on Eurosport, they ain't gonna pay the money, Sky would have, possibly BT Sport as he works for them anyway, Eurosport not a chance!
