Let's hope the sun is shining and the fans turn out in big numbers for Matt.

Great piece in the Speedway Star on Matt this week that hopefully will get a few more deciding to head for the Oak Tree Arena tomorrow night to help swell Readie's fund ---so come on folks see you there and remember it's a 7.15 start for the parade. :)

If you've not been to Somerset before it's probably the easiest track in the country to find . Just come off the M5 at Junction 22 and turn left towards Highbridge. Travel along the road for a short distance following the brown Speedway Arena signs and then left into the car park (get your £1 ready for the car park fee) and in you go!!!

 

See you there!!

It is peeing down in Newport (about 20 miles form Oak Tree Arena as the row flies) but the weather forcast seems to thing it'll only last a little bit longer before the sun comes out and dries it all up and we're set for a good evening.

 

Sodding rain, I was trying to clean my car :(
