Oh, did he not leave Ipswich on good terms? Well he is my 10yo second fave rider behind Danny King and mainly because his name sounds like slime! :D I'm not even going to get in to explaining to her that they are on oppsing teams tonight, will leave it til she's been attending for a season first before i start confusing her with all the rules!;)

But I will go for a Wolves win especially if Broc continues his form from last night. 

That's what my kid calls him Rory Slime but also calls Cameron Heeps Cameron Creeps maybe should be Cameron Sleeps unless of course he gates haha

I can only go on the updates, but it seems a great performance by Leon Flint. Peter Adams always tells  his riders that their job is to beat their opposite number and Flint has done that. In addition to beating Starke and Kemp  he has also beaten  Anders Row and Craig Cook. So all in all a great performance by him.   :)

What is the future for the witches given a poor season, the rumoured sale of Peterborough and Kings Lynn and the possible demise of one or two other tracks. Hopefully the sport can survive but it looks grim for speedway. Has it reached its nadir?

As long as Louis wants to continue then I don’t think there will be a problem with the Witches. There is no suggestion that he has had enough and I would say that attendances have been decent apart from the televised meeting and the last meeting due to the bad weather. Also, no problem with track availability or potential track closure.

As for British speedway after Buster’s announcement, not so sure at the moment. Are we possibly heading for a number of clubs in both leagues disappearing over the winter?

Let's just say his last appearance at foxhall was errrr rubbish :wink:

Actually was quite sad, he came in to say goodbye to us all.

Back to meeting,  nothing more to say other than we were beaten by a very good team tonight,  they were deserved winners and hopefully take the title.

Glad to see him doing well in the Premiership, been Berwicks best rider by a mile this season hope it continues.

Problems at Eastbourne as I understand it as well. One of either 2 things as I see it. Firstly travel restrictions and polish league restrictions lifted and we get in more foreign riders or secondly we go back to the mid nineties and have one league. 

Like most things is life now speedway is over burdened with regulations and most people just cannot be bothered any more.

You were saying…..?

As a Wolves fan, obviously happy  that it was a straightforward win for the Wolves. However, it is painful to see a legend such as Crump struggling like this, and in hindsight a wrong decision by Crump and  by Ipswich using 8 points out of the total for Crump. As for Cook it would seem that he should doing much better than he is, but it is known that he 'issues', so only he knows if he is failing or not.

I can’t see any top foreign riders coming back as they will drain the fragile finances clubs have and probably bring about a quicker end to the sport.
