All part of being a professional sportsman, the Redcar and Plymouth fixtures have been there since the start of the season, with the Rye House one arranged weeks ago.

Our play off hopes ended the night we lost to Glasgow, now we have to hope we get back to some kind of form tonight in readiness for the KOC which right now is keeping our season alive. Failure in that and the buzz will have buzzed off for another year.

Doolan isn't a PL No1, it is only the lack of points from others than have seen him there, he is a very reliable 2nd or 3rd heat leader. Only the KOC that is keeping our season alive now.

Berwick Rangers charge £1 for parking at the stadium, but your ticket you get enters you in the halftime draw, parking for the speedway is free. You could park in the Asda car park which is 5mins walk for the football then park at the stadium for the speedway for free.

Parking is free with plenty room at the track.

AJ gone awol.

No Andreas Jonsson tonight for Lakeside so its R/R at No1.

Not revealing ones source can be taken quite serious on these threads.

I think the BSPA are on the right lines with the draft system, but haven't gone far enough, and/or have found a way of making a dogs dinner out of what should be a decent idea. I think having a draft rider from the NL should be protected so that that rider stays a No7, I would've like to have seen both reserves as draft riders though it seems it cant be done, maybe we should have both reserves as British riders, one protected draft from the NL and if that means one or two foreign riders miss out over then so be it, it seems some only get contracts because their average fits.

Me and my other half did two nights at the Premier Inn in Denton for £124, bus tickets £7, offers on the meals at the hotel meant I got value for money IMO. I`d love to go to the Cardiff SGP, but hotel prices are crazy IMO, maybe one day though.

We bought a day rider ticket, great value.

We certainly don`t want a repeat of this from the KOC last season, Berwick seem to do all the hard work in the 1st leg and then...... http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/14783/berwick-rye-house-plkoc-2015

As Berwick have shown track covers during the day of a meeting save meetings, but the rain must stop before the meeting starts. Obviously if it starts to rain during a meeting then its difficult to see what can be done on those occasions, what frustrates me at times is when there is only two or three races to go in meetings the debate whether to keep going seems to take a longer time than to run the races.

Yet King and Cook were heat winners, take your point on Lambert, I hope he is in the Team GB for many years to come. Hopefully next season he will continue in our EL but pick up contracts in Poland and/or Sweden as I think that will further his career.

Seems Tai will be releasing a statement later today about Team GB and his thoughts on the weekend.

Agree with both of these, there was contact between Doyle and Pawlicki going into bend three so the referee obviously excluded Doyle on that, could Pawlicki have stayed up only he will really know but if I was the ref I would've excluded Pawlicki.

Just watching it over again from last night, and the pictures confirm what I thought last night that Doyle was very hard done to with his exclusion.

Its easy to call it a Mickey Mouse Cup, especially when your on your way out, if, and its a big if Edinburgh manage to turn it round I take it will become important again.

Here we go for the restart, lets hope its worth the wait.

Seen pictures of the track at Czestochowa and it looks way better than this track in Tarnow, cant see a bit of track prep saving this meeting.

Agree about the meeting presentation, bit of a let down both centre green and main announcer, I mean how many different ways can you pronounce Grajczonek.

Cracking meeting, cracking atmosphere, full stadium, apart from a Team GB win it was a perfect night of speedway. Well done to Poland on their win, best team on the night won it.

Tai could be in g-string basque and suspenders for all I care, as long as he does the biz on track tonight.

Strange decision from Lemon, IMO Kurtz did everything asked of him last night and should be in the team for tonight. Maybe there are few alternatives as an Under-21 reserve but still should bevKurtz, weakens the Aussies.

Weather is bright but a bit cloudy, just come past the stadium and it sounded like practice was still on. Hopefully the track will produce more overtaking than last night. I am sure Scott Nichols will be looking good tonight having ran into him in the Arndale Centre.
