"BIRMINGHAM’S home Championship opener against Berwick was abandoned on Wednesday due to a lack of medical cover in the local area." I like how they blame lack of medical cover in the "local area" and not the stadium... if they think punters are taken in by this whitewash, they must think we're all mugs

I seem to remember having inadequate medical cover in the past... not sure about this season though

Yeah, wasn't thinking, watched it on my phone while i was eating my dinner

It is or there wouldn't be any ambulance... it's the paying punters that aren't a priority at those clubs run by chancers

Or Poole's shopping trolley

I think you'll find that if you stump up the money for a private ambulance they'll turn up for whoever pays the bill

We've had these discussions on various threads over the years, i think somebody once said it's about £400-£500 which is only about 30 paying punters

Ultimately, could be the closure of the club

Pay for a stand by ambulance

Was probably found locked in a cupboard in the derelict grandstand

Does anybody know if I can press pause, go and eat my tea and then press play and continue watching "as live" like I can on Sky+ please?

If Andersen had only been there 3 times and dropped 1 point to the opposition... what excuse do our top 3 have who have been there loads of times and could only win 1 race between them?

I don't get why loads of people keep criticising the twins away form when it's the top 3 that have been letting us down away from home. Morris has looked a million dollars at home, a proper No 1, but away he's been woeful

Impossible I would say... for what Nigel gave Speedway, the sport probably got him on the cheap. To be fair British Speedway gave him the opportunity 20 or so years ago and mined a gem and he put the graft in and made himself irreplaceable, they'd have to pay out many many thousands of pounds to get the kind of exposure that he gave the sport. SGP also benefited from this.

I don't... and even though he's nothing to do with Speedway presentation anymore, I haven't missed him at all. Nigel has left a massive hole in Speedway

Are we supposed to know who you are?

Are Start Marshals still required to wear the "neutral" stripey tops? Our SM at Leicester has broken ranks and now wears Lions merch. ... and are SM's in communication with the ref using an ear piece and mic?

I'm pretty sure I saw him wearing an ear piece and a mic and was clearly communicating with somebody

Did the start marshal draw her attention to it? Isn't he in radio communication with the ref? He went back and had to release the inside of the tapes so could/ should have done something maybe?

I particularly liked that you were playing I Surrender by Rainbow prior to heat one... good job your lads couldn't hear it

... and I thought that the announcer had supposed to sound like that

tribute section on talkSport tonight from 9pm

A clip up of the tributes paid to Nigel Pearson on talkSport on Saturday, from 16:30 https://podfollow.com/1476734813/episode/80a94b4bfce3743a0ecf96a702608d23621c712a/view

Was announced during the season launch that there will be extra analysis this season during the Eurosport ad breaks on Discovery+

I think the special one mentioned that the tractor had broken down during the afternoon or something... I think they had trouble with the tractor last season, but it couldn't have been predicted
