If you're not prepared to have your opinions challenged then Forums are not for you... agree there's no need to be rude or nasty though.

That's the thing Guy Martin had a go at on one of his TV shows a few years ago... reminds me a bit of Cribby going round shale tracks on his ice bike

To be fair Roynon seems to be a bit of a lone voice amongst the riders, generally when interviewed they're pretty complimentary about the track... but then they tend to like to trap and clear off into the distance, maybe different when you're always at the back (or a fan watching it)

It used to be a cracking race track and I would happily travel over from Leicester as a neutral to watch some great Speedway. For whatever reason (mainly cost I would suspect) the shale was changed some years ago and now although it can still be pretty good on occasion it's a shadow of the race track it used to be.

Don't worry, BSN are at Poole next week and I'm sure Roynon (and Shovlar) will be gushing about the track... while we're all falling asleep

Ritchie Hawkins said he was "buzzing" earlier after Ippo's win at Leicester... he'll be doing cart wheels tonight!

What about Peterborough though?

Nice passing and re-passing between Riss & Lambert!

Nice overtake there by Danny King!

He's just done himself out of 2 potential team spots then

Gutted! Don't know when I'm going to get to see Connor Mountain again

It's absolutely hammering it down 1.5 miles from the track

sRaining, only a sprinkle... but there's a dollop forecast for around 4 & 6

pay on night, cash or card or you can pre-purchase tickets 4 hour time limit on supermarket car park, onsite parking at the track if you arrive early enough

Send him a Tweet and ask him, he does seem to engage with people even if it's only to out them. Didn't he say he in his book that he scours social media for people that slag him off

I'm sure the thinking of supporters is way way down the list of there concerns if it even makes it on at all... There'll be many more cost to the business reasons why meetings are called off sometimes days in advance. I agree with your second point though, been there, done that and I accept it

If Sheffield aren't allowed a facility... what is Connor Mountain?

It stinks!

I'm sure Dreamboat Phil will be along with a full explanation in the interests of integrity and transparency

Does this mean Connor Mountain is in contention for an SoN spot next year?

You don't really know do you? Me neither tbh, like Phil suggests it just sounds like they've redeclared their team too early... or maybe I'll put my tin foil hat back on again

If I had my tin foil hat on I may have thought Sheffield were throwing this one so Leicester get more exposure in the league and play offs as the club is up for sale... but I haven't... so I don't think that at all. Bad management it is then... from the joint GB manager too

So why can't they use R/R for Holder?

So, can somebody explain to me why Sheffield are using a "No Facility" facility (Connor Mountain), so that is a facility to replace the injured Jack Holder if Woffinden's "arrangement" doesn't start until next week? Yet again it's the fans that get short changed!

Tomato and HP?
