The lighting at Blackbird Road was better... and the previous non LED lighting was better! It's especially difficult to see during twilight also... but apart from buggering the track up worth a blank canvas and having inadequate lighting and team... everything else okay 👍🏻 -
Could have been worse... thay could have been covering a match from Wimborne Road 😉

It put me off going to Oxford last week... I didn't bother in the end. -
Speedway didn't even get a mention here either! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3lq3l5gzvo

apparently it has been in operation... we just don't hear anything about it

Jake Mulford is the obvious stand out but also Vinnie Foord. JT's better score at home last night can (partly) be attributed to him riding an engine of his brothers. -
... and Workington... and Scunny who had doubts surrounding their return... and Edinburgh who seemed set to lose their stadium a couple of years back (and who knows whether that one has well and truly gone away). And if you count going quite well, a league of just 9 teams and having lost Somerset, Newcastle, Rye House, Birmingham, Stoke, Sheffield, Leicester, King's Lynn & Ipswich over the years as "doing quite well" that's a very strange measurement. Poole & Glasgow are "going quite well", I'd say the rest are clinging on by their finger tips! Mr Morris also engaged with the fans, I personally spoke with him on the phone after the play off semi debacle a couple of years back. He set up the fans forum with fan representatives and I know of others who he has reached out to when they have been ignored by individual clubs. You may reply "what actual good did that do?" but as @mikebv said he picked and addressed all of the low hanging fruit, anything more radical he was never going to be allowed to do with no stake in the sport financially.

Bewley different class tonight... but then he is, he's not going to have much competition in the British League this season. -
The foam fences do seem a lot less forgiving than the air fences though... I've always thought that a solid deformable barrier should be placed in front of the air bags, made from thin aluminium or something

Why has the start been delayed,? I've just walked by the turnstiles and there is literally nobody queuing! Sun? 😎 -
This one? Mencel somebody or other https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWtcIOHgHRs/?igsh=MWp0ZGU4dmJucWV1bA==

Do we know yet how Thomson sustained these horrific injuries? Saw a Polish rider go under the fence on Instagram yesterday, I don't think he walked away from it!

They looked poor on paper and so it has proved on track. Why they went for JT as a replacement for Gilkes I'm not sure, they turn to the same old riders every time 🤷♂️ -
Pointed this out a number of times at Leicester last season!

Tonight's match being covered by Lions TV apparently due to "travel issues" for BSN... I assume it's still being covered through BSN.
