screm Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Thanks to NUFC I was spared last night, does that make me not a proper fan, I will leave that to others, anyway seems to be that I missed yet another unacceptable showing from a team of riders that are clearly not up to the job. Lack of race winners yet again leads to a home defeat yet again. Onto Glasgow for more of the same I would suspect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So everyone else still has a week to come up with a better offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shhalewhhale Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 First visit to Shielfield last night and whilst I won't disagree that it was slick and dusty i've seen much worse meetings this season. Reasonable little stadium with everything you need, although the beer choice was pretty poor. They did well to get through 30 heats just before the curfew but the rush to get through them clearly affected the amount of work that could be done to the track. Ashton Boughen is definitely one to watch at the moment, have also heard he's Glasgow bound. Hopefully Greg Blair and Max Perry aren't feeling too second hand after some nasty crashes. I'll be back!

Speaking of which... I know the ref was rushing the meeting through, but I thought it was a bit harsh to put the 2 minutes on for the riders while Max Perry was still picking himself up on the first bend after a rather nasty looking crash... Luckily he made it to the tapes with seconds to spare, somehow... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I need a boiler suit next week? Still looking forward to it though always an enjoyable day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normski Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Berwick Rangers were away but another local club plays at Shielfield which i think has basically started this season. Due to the football over running speedway were not able to work on the track between 12pm - 5pm. Edited August 13, 2023 by Normski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Think it time for Greg to hang up the Kevlars before he does himself much more damage.Too many falls for a rider that been around as long as him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone attending ANY speedway meeting is helping to keep that track going.. And, by definition, the sport itself... I used to attend Sheffield and Stoke on a Thursday and Saturday, and often miss the Aces meeting on the Friday as the racing wasn't as good as the racing getting served up at the other two tracks in the 2nd Div.. If your local track isnt serving up enough entertainment, then support the sport by still attending somewhere else who is...
