Sadly something tells me this isn't the last press release of this kind we will see. I hope the people of Scunthorpe get themselves along to their speedway meetings from now to the end of the season, Scunthorpe Speedway is a real jewel in the crown, if for no other reason it is one of the very few tracks where riders are able to practice virtually all year round and surely that has to be worth saving. Berwick tried that a couple of seasons ago, crowd levels were virtually unaffected, if there was an increase it was more kids who were getting in free anyway.

Dont give up just yet young soldier, I can remember a couple of seasons ago when we had our first Sky meeting, this time against Newcastle. The Diamonds turned up minus Andrew Tully and Ludvig Lindgren, who was racing in Sweden that Tuesday night, many predicted a hammering for Newcastle, the won by 8pts.

He came over very well during the interview, it would seem that the main thing preventing his return to full time racing might be mental rather than physical.

If I were Peterborough, and giving his performances as a guest already at Berwick this season I`d be looking at Ritchie Worrall as a potential guest for Wednesday.

Its best to ignore this particular poster, they seem to go from thread to thread getting sillier by the post.

GO Speed International Ltd (GSI), the company responsible for managing British Speedway’s contract with Sky Sports, would like to make the following comments following Monday’s Elite League meeting between Coventry and Poole. Go Speed International Managing Director, Terry Russell, said: “Our role is to try and keep all parties happy whenever possible – Sky Sports, the individual clubs, the British Speedway Promoters’ Association and more. “We were concerned by the weather forecast for Monday and informed the Coventry management we needed to speak to them on Saturday morning to potentially postpone the meeting. Unfortunately, we could not get hold of the Coventry management at that time. “Our agreement with Sky Sports is that, in the event of a poor forecast, we can give them the option to postpone 48-hours in advance at little or no cost to the broadcaster – and at the same time we would offer the staging club another TV date. Win, win. “However, once the 48-hour threshold had passed, every effort was made to stage the meeting as Sky were committed to the broadcast. “The track was fine at the start but deteriorated because the rain finally arrived – rain which had been forecast earlier in the day. “At no time did Sky Sports have a say in whether the meeting went ahead, if the track had been waterlogged during the day it would have been postponed there and then – but it wasn’t. “Sky were quite prepared to run a ‘filler’ show in the event of no racing, but when it was obvious the track was fine, both teams were happy to race. “During the meeting, the steward and co-ordinator liase with the managers and captains and the meeting went to the end of Heat 10, admittedly in far from ideal circumstances. Once again, Sky Sports had nothing to do with this decision. “It’s a delicate balancing act trying to keep everyone happy – and the fans inside the stadium were obviously disappointed for which we apologise. “We sincerely hope this situation never arises again – but This is the statement released by GoSpeed, unfortunate last sentence as we didn't have to wait all that long for the situation to arise again.

Hopefully our " 2nd rate riders " wont spoil the Lambert party on Wednesday.

Its off. Belle Vue Speedway ‏@TheAces 1m1 minute ago Having reviewed the condition of the track the referee has taken the decision to postpone tonight's meeting. Re-staging date to be announced

Looking at riders posts on Twitter, I think its fair to say if the meeting goes ahead its going to be wet.

In this particular case who else is there to blame.

No one is/has laid the blame with Berwick, but thanks for reminding us.

We can argue all day about what has happened and point the blame finger at Peterborough Speedway all you want, but this is another meeting that is going to be broadcast to the widest possible audience our sport has just now and once again it shows speedway in this Country in a very poor light.

At the minute we have two six man teams, three guests, and two rider replacements, in other words a true reflection and a typical speedway meeting in this Country. I assume not, as the club would've announced that kind of thing by now in their news letter.

Sky will choose their meeting, you would have thought someone from either the BSPA and/or Peterborough would've told them about the missing riders.

The one you would know if you lived in East Lothian, and it was of your interest.

From today's full team against Redcar, who will be missing.

Which will probably stop me going next year, sad because I`d love to go. I found it much cheaper to go to Prague, but might fancy going to Warsaw next year as you can bet they will pull out all the stops to avoid the fiasco of this year GP.

Yes your right, and I have looked at staying in Bristol in previous year, then travelling over for the GP. But I agree with SCB, if your going to go to Cardiff, go to Cardiff, and that is where it stops me, crazy hotel prices. Hopefully next year might be different.

It is, but that doesn't stop the rumours, though the one Bandit59 seems to be hinting at has been around for ages.

Looking at his posts over on Twitter, it would appear Lassie Bjerre isn't exactly Mr Osterdaard`s best friend at the minute.

Fair point, but for people like me going to Cardiff and back is a no go, I would love to go but hotels in and around Cardiff and ticket prices are just plain crazy.

The Gorzow fans most be wondering where this kind of form has been all season.
