1
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:22,760
Shut up. 
The riders of this one's great 

2
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,080
sport of ours do a dangerous 
job. 

3
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:31,040
Because of this, insurance is a 
necessary evil, which is why the

4
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,680
SCB statement about Ryder 
Insurance is, well, puzzling. 

5
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:40,240
The statement says. 
Please note for the 2026 season,

6
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,680
Ryder's personal accident 
insurance is now covered by 

7
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,360
their federation licence. 
Example, ACU licence holders 

8
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,160
insured by the ACU and not with 
the ATIS via the BSPL. 

9
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,600
Now reading between the lines, 
the fact that they've had to 

10
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,520
make this statement, did the 
BSPL actually fail to inform the

11
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,760
riders of this change? 
In other news, I hope Danbury's 

12
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,640
nether regions are not too sore 
after two matches. 

13
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,200
Undefeated in one day and then 
being dropped only in Speedway. 

14
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,120
Oh, is the right the right 
answer? 

15
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,240
Yeah. 
Good evening, gentlemen. 

16
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:22,880
Good evening. 
Welcome to the Speedway Tavern, 

17
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,360
the very first and still the 
best and the most interactive 

18
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,560
Speedway podcast out there. 
Still says US. 

19
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,320
Says US. 
Yes. 

20
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,720
Good job to us aside. 
Good job. 

21
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,800
Yeah, we've got a few more 
things that you'll will have 

22
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,720
noticed adding. 
You've got a vote that you can 

23
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,400
use and we're keeping our eye on
that as it's it's updated as you

24
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,720
do it at the moment. 
Do you think Speedway will 

25
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,000
become one league within five 
years? 

26
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,720
I can't quite see the 
percentages, but yes, it is much

27
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,200
bigger than no. 
That's well, yeah, it's that's 

28
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,520
proper mathematical terms there 
for you. 

29
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,560
Yes, it's bigger than no. 
And you can find the link to 

30
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,039
that on our on our page. 
Yeah, on the Facebook page. 

31
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,000
I have just shared the link as 
well to this week's fixtures for

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,520
the British league, if 
everybody's missed it so. 

33
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,400
And there's also a QR code as 
well hanging about. 

34
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,720
You can use that to vote as 
well. 

35
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,120
It's. 
A bit different from when you're

36
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,400
all sitting in that corner 
shouting to. 

37
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,920
Get the microphone, but it's 
just it's. 

38
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,200
A bit slick, isn't? 
It yeah, come on a bit of a away

39
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,680
since then, including we we have
now more interaction with you 

40
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,240
guys. 
Should you want it, we can just 

41
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,760
send you a link. 
Just let pop it. 

42
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,120
Let us know on the on the share 
box and we'll we will send you a

43
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,720
link and you can actually join 
in on your computer or on your 

44
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:53,040
tablet or on your telephone. 
Telephone your smartphone my 

45
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,800
life. 
And according to Chris on your 

46
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:01,360
Bungo, we'd like to see that. 
So yeah, if you've got something

47
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,520
that you'd like to add or, or 
just want to shout at us, that's

48
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,080
OK as well. 
We'll drop you a link and you 

49
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,720
can join in. 
We would love, love that to 

50
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,840
happen. 
OK, shall we start off with the 

51
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,320
Bellevue Leicester matches 
yesterday? 

52
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:21,080
Why not sort of went the way we 
thought. 

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,080
Yeah, I, I think so. 
I think Bellevue had done the 

54
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,160
job really in the on the 
afternoon, didn't know, but up 

55
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,760
in Manchester in Leicester at 
times maybe looked like they 

56
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,880
were pulling away yesterday, but
obvious begin strength really 

57
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,200
just get them through and so 
Bellevue into the next round of 

58
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,200
the competition. 
Yeah, I mean, I was just looking

59
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,400
at the some of them trying, 
desperately trying to get it up.

60
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,600
I was looking at some of the 
scores yesterday and from the 

61
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,480
first leg. 
I mean it, it says it all, 

62
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,000
doesn't it really? 
When you see the the scores of 

63
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,480
the, the, the Leicester team, 
they got one rider score in, I 

64
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,600
think it was 13 points and the 
next rider had I've got that 

65
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,720
right. 
That's that's. 

66
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Yeah, something along those 
lines, wasn't it? 

67
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,800
So it was yeah, tough. 
It was always, I think Bellevue 

68
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,000
were always going to be strong, 
aren't they? 

69
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
I mean, I mean we said this last
week, didn't we? 

70
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,800
People say Bellevue, I've got a 
higher advantage, they have got 

71
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,880
a higher advantage, definitely 
got an advantage in terms of the

72
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,920
knowing the setups the that they
use so. 

73
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,440
I've got the scores in front of 
me now. 

74
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,600
So Ryan Douglas scored 13 for 
Leicester at Bellevue. 

75
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,760
And then which does well there 
though, yeah, which does well at

76
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Bellevue. 
Then the second highest was Nick

77
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,120
Morris 4 + 1 Carl Howarth 4 + 1 
Sam Masters, 4, Dan Thompson 3 +

78
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,960
3 Drew Kemp and Joe Thompson. 
Yeah. 

79
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,520
You would have expected, I mean 
it it, you know, I think we most

80
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,400
people expected Bellevue to be 
comfortable in that one there. 

81
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,600
But you would have really 
looking at some of the roles in 

82
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,480
the Leicester same you'd 
expected them to perform a 

83
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,400
little bit better than that. 
They'll be hoping that's just a 

84
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,080
few early season tailing 
problems that they've got to try

85
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,800
and sort out. 
They obviously did much better 

86
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,120
in the second leg and beat 
Bellevue by 10 points, which 

87
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,840
possibly after seeing the the 
results at Bellevue, you might 

88
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,200
think actually I did quite well 
there. 

89
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,880
Well, again you look at the 
Bellevue scores and on the 2nd 

90
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,000
and the second, exactly 17, one 
Peter Gelderman 10, Jonas 

91
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,200
Yepperson 6, Tom Brennan three 
and one Zac Cook 3, Will Cairns 

92
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,160
1. 
So Cisco failed to score. 

93
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,640
So not totally dissimilar 
Bellevue very dependent on on 

94
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,600
one man, one man who a lot of 
people would think doesn't ride 

95
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,440
a lot less to that well, but he 
rode it well yesterday. 

96
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,920
So he's had a good start to the 
season. 

97
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,360
He's had a hell of a start, 
hasn't he? 

98
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,320
Unbeaten over the two legs, as 
we mentioned earlier. 

99
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,800
Well, it's sort of Bellevue 
really flex their muscles there 

100
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,400
and showing the rest of the 
league what they're up against, 

101
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,040
I think. 
I think they've shown that they 

102
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:49,320
are serious contenders to win 
what is ultimately A watered 

103
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,720
down and short league this 
season so. 

104
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,880
No, no, let's keep it positive. 
OK. 

105
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,600
So we, we was also looking at we
might, we might as well talk 

106
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,440
about this now. 
We've got a new feature that we 

107
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,440
want to start next week. 
So what we're going to do each 

108
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,240
week is take a look at a 
particular track and we're going

109
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,000
to have a look at their online 
presence and and sort of report 

110
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,440
back how well we think they do. 
Basically with, you know, 

111
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Facebook, Twitter, whatever they
use their website. 

112
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,920
If we get the chance as well, we
might be able to have a look at 

113
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,640
local press and stuff like that 
because you can very often get 

114
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,320
that online. 
So we're going to report back on

115
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,200
that because I think that online
presence has become more and 

116
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,480
more important. 
A lot of these tracks also do 

117
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,320
their own streaming, so we'll 
take a look at that as well. 

118
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,440
I'll take that on board and if 
they do their own streaming, 

119
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,960
because it's not always BSN, is 
it? 

120
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,200
Some of them do their own 
streaming. 

121
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,800
We'll have a look at that, 
especially if their van. 

122
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,200
Breaks down on the way to the 
stadium like it did yesterday. 

123
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,080
Is that right? 
That's what. 

124
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,320
Yeah, okay. 
Obviously Bellevue, well 

125
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,520
Bellevue did their own streaming
anyway so they could do that, 

126
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,120
but I think the best end fan 
breaking down on the way to the 

127
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,680
first meeting of the season 
pretty much sums up by Speedway.

128
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040
I've got a, I've got another 
feature we need to do as well, 

129
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,280
Confession corner, because I've 
actually got one which has 

130
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,000
absolutely disgusted me. 
Jimmy Jababa. 

131
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,080
Jimmy Jababa, I said it's the 
first time watching this season.

132
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,840
How dare. 
Well, that's nice. 

133
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,480
That's just not it's. 
Not four shows. 

134
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,520
This is the fourth show. 
Isn't it? 

135
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,160
Yes, you think. 
Of that I'll. 

136
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,960
You forgiven. 
We forgiven, yeah. 

137
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,200
Well, Jim, Jimmy, Jabba, 
whatever. 

138
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:47,760
JJJ yeah, that's where we'll go 
with yeah, we might have to send

139
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,240
him a link and get him to join 
the show. 

140
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,320
That's what I'm thinking. 
So yeah, we're going to do that.

141
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,720
But, but this is a 2 pronged 
thing because obviously the 

142
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,080
thing we pride ourselves most on
this show is that it's 

143
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,040
interactive. 
So we want your inputs. 

144
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,360
So if you are, we're going to go
for Sheffield next, next week, 

145
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,840
That's that's, that's the team 
we're going to look at. 

146
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,880
If you have to visit Sheffield 
or you're a Sheffield fan, give 

147
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,520
us your idea of what the match 
day experience is now. 

148
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,520
Matt's going to read a whole 
list of things and stuff that 

149
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,040
you can look at as an idea. 
Well. 

150
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,320
What's what I asked to give this
is Sheffield obviously have have

151
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,000
done a lot of interacting with 
supporters over the winter to 

152
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,320
see how they can improve their 
match day experience. 

153
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,520
But I think starting off #1 
really would be the the riders 

154
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,640
parade. 
Now really for me, a parade 

155
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,039
should set the tone of the 
meeting. 

156
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:42,039
Is it spectacle or is it just 
something that they just do it? 

157
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:45,160
It's a bit of a formality, you 
know, different. 

158
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,560
Do people prefer the open top 
truck lap or more modern 

159
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,800
pyrotechnic heavy introduction 
on the home street, which I 

160
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,400
think is what Sheffield were 
looking at doing. 

161
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,840
How does the announcer engage 
with the towards? 

162
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,360
Does he actually build up the 
harp or is he just reading names

163
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,040
off a piece of paper? 
Bellevue have done well with 

164
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,960
that. 
I think jumping ahead a little 

165
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,360
bit, but you know, do other 
teams need to catch up? 

166
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,400
So that's one. 
You've also got the soundtrack, 

167
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,360
so walk on tunes. 
I mean darts and boxing, they 

168
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,160
have walk on tunes for each of 
their comments. 

169
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,400
The snooker does it as well. 
Doesn't know. 

170
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,680
I don't really understand why 
snooker tries to build up the 

171
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,720
hype when once they start 
playing you can't wrestle the 

172
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,640
crisp package in the arena. 
So does every right? 

173
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,840
So does your track have riders 
have a signature tune? 

174
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,720
If you know if a. 
Rider or something different? 

175
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,400
If a rider wins a race, is their
song immediately played? 

176
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,320
And I think the biggest one for 
us really, we've talked about 

177
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,720
this before, Dead air, is there 
2, is there dead air between 

178
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,520
between heats? 
Is the music playing keeping up 

179
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,560
the energy, or is it just 
something that's just a little 

180
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:56,920
bit generic? 
How does the presenter cope with

181
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,240
that? 
Those in between times as well. 

182
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,720
OK, so there's of crowd 
participation, that's another 

183
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,700
one. 
I mean the tracks do things like

184
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:05,880
T-shirt cannons, kid friendly 
races during. 

185
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,240
The interview not in Poland. 
Half time interviews in the 

186
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,200
pits. 
Some clubs do that, some others 

187
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,240
don't. 
Does the layer to the stadium 

188
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,960
and sound system encourage the 
crowd to get loud? 

189
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,200
Does it just feel like they're 
sitting in a quiet field? 

190
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,480
And the fourth one really is the
the big one. 

191
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,680
Of course, that's the the match 
night programme. 

192
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,320
You know, the physical programme
has been a bit contentious topic

193
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,240
racing seasons, isn't it? 
Because a lot of people now, 

194
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,680
including myself, they don't 
actually buy a programme. 

195
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:40,800
They have apps on the phones. 
So do you feel that your club's 

196
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,360
programme is just a glorified 
scorecard or does it have 

197
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,880
exclusive interviews, high 
quality photographs? 

198
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,960
Do you miss having the physical 
souvenir fail because a lot of 

199
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,000
people still collect programmes?
Don't they need to have it that 

200
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,400
they're in and it's something 
that they want to keep going? 

201
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Or would you just prefer slick 
interactive app that updates 

202
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,880
live heat results, which I 
believe Leicester are looking at

203
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:01,880
now. 
I think they're developing 

204
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,960
their. 
Own OK, that's good club app 

205
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,240
We've been talking about that 
for years on this show. 

206
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,920
Yeah. 
So there's plenty of really to 

207
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,640
get your teeth into on on this 
one. 

208
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,160
And I think riders have to play 
a part as well. 

209
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,760
I mean, one of my biggest, we've
mentioned it before, one of my 

210
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,320
biggest frustrations, a rider 
wins a race and then they almost

211
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,120
RIP the foot right off the fence
trying to get back to the pits. 

212
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,160
You know, doesn't take long to 
just go around to the noise of 

213
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,880
the crowd. 
Just even if he's just a wave or

214
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,960
something or a fist bump or 
anything like that. 

215
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,400
It's difficult to know because a
lot of riders are at one or a 

216
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,560
club for one year and then they 
go somewhere else, aren't they? 

217
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:37,640
So it's, you know, it's 
difficult for the riders that 

218
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,720
they can't get. 
That rapport that. 

219
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,880
Rapport game with the crowd. 
I think that's the problem 

220
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,160
really the Birmingham had, 
wasn't it, in fairness. 

221
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,760
Yeah, it felt like we had a 
bunch of mercenaries year after 

222
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,120
year after year. 
Yeah. 

223
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:55,200
Do you feel like you're 
announcers know the sport? 

224
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,760
Does that you know, or does it 
feel like something like there's

225
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,080
a little bit technical larger 
than they just resort to just 

226
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:06,400
shouting, you know, should their
should clubs prioritise that? 

227
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,800
Should they have a super phone 
who explains things properly or 

228
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,400
just a professional height man? 
So there's lots and lots and 

229
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,760
lots of things that you guys can
report. 

230
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,600
I'll be interested to see what 
Northampton do obviously, 

231
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,480
because they've obviously got to
build a completely new thing 

232
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,120
from from scratch over there. 
So, but I like the ideas of, you

233
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,000
know, light using the lighting 
of the stadium because it's a 

234
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,000
lot of these things I don't 
think would, you know, would be 

235
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,840
stuff that would be very, very 
costly, would there so. 

236
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,280
Just try and be different guys. 
But but yeah, let us know what 

237
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,440
your match day experience is. 
And I've said Sheffield next 

238
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,680
week, I'm hoping they've got a 
match. 

239
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:49,080
We should check that they have 
got a match. 

240
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:54,040
I've got a match that would be 
yeah, OK. 

241
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:59,040
So and and we will check out the
online experience as well. 

242
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,720
Now we we may have somebody 
coming on Ben, if you want to 

243
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,880
come on, we would love to talk 
to you about Ipswich and what's 

244
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,520
going on there both last year 
and this year. 

245
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,560
So I think we've sent a link off
to. 

246
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:16,560
I'll put a link. 
On yeah, just click on it and 

247
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,640
come and join us. 
That would be fantastic. 

248
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:23,280
In the meantime, let's go 
through some of the the 

249
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,760
messages. 
Let's catch up a few. 

250
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,640
Phil Taylor says we'd like to 
wish Toby Thompson a speedy 

251
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,120
recovery after nasty crash at 
pool on Friday. 

252
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,560
Absolutely. 
Absolutely. 

253
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:37,520
And I think this is what sort of
yeah, wish you all well. 

254
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,880
I think this is what sort of 
tweaked the the stuff with the 

255
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,560
insurance because of Ben 
Barker's comments on. 

256
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,200
Yeah, I saw that. 
Yeah, Facebook. 

257
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,520
So which, you know, I mean the, 
the obviously, you know, the 

258
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,520
statement has been released by 
the BSBL hasn't. 

259
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,160
I don't think it's really 
clarified it to be honest. 

260
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,840
It's just, it's just made people
even more. 

261
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,960
Confused. 
It's the SCB that's. 

262
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,280
SCB. 
Sorry, not the SBL. 

263
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,360
That's done it, which what is 
the law to us even further 

264
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,560
really. 
So yeah, I mean, oh, any riders 

265
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:08,000
out there have got any opinions 
on this that they are allowed to

266
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,160
give? 
We would certainly love to hear 

267
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,000
that, Fred Graham says. 
Seems to to have some big 

268
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,280
crashes in the first few weeks 
of the season. 

269
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,560
Tobias Thompson, Adam Ellis, 
Leon Madsen, to name a few. 

270
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,760
Hopefully things will settle 
down in the next few weeks. 

271
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,560
I think that that happens quite 
a lot at the beginning of 

272
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,280
seasons, doesn't it? 
I think that it seems to as 

273
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,080
people get into it. 
I don't know, yeah. 

274
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,200
That's right. 
So many a year I remember us 

275
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,920
being here saying, oh, there's 
been a lot of crashes at the 

276
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,720
beginning of this season. 
I think it's sort of, but it's 

277
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,080
never nice. 
Jeff Daniels 10 Tom Brennan was 

278
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,920
slightly disappointed at #1 
guesting for Kurtz. 

279
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,440
Three points a less Leicester 
that's against Leicester was 

280
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,400
probably the reason why we 
didn't win there. 

281
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,880
Also. 
I have three points at 

282
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,280
Leicester. 
I don't think he's ever ridden 

283
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,920
Leicester very well in my. 
I don't think it's his type of 

284
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,840
track, is it so? 
But then again, if he wants to 

285
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,160
be a top rider, he's going to 
have to develop that, isn't he? 

286
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,400
So. 
Absolutely. 

287
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,760
Elliot Hunter. 
Hi, Elliot. 

288
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,160
How are you doing? 
Hi all. 

289
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,320
Went to both Leicester meetings 
yesterday. 

290
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,000
Busy day. 2 good meetings to be 
watched. 

291
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,600
Both teams perform differently 
at their home tracks and Bewley 

292
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,280
was sensational to watch. 
Yeah, gonna be interesting, 

293
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,360
isn't it? 
To see if that form is 

294
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,000
transmitted into the GPS? 
Absolutely. 

295
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Yeah. 
Third last season. 

296
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,720
Of course he'll be open for 
better this year. 

297
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,240
He'll have been certainly 
inspired by his Bellevue 

298
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,920
teammates who are there. 
An unbelievable debut campaign 

299
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,360
in the series. 
Was it winning 5 Grand Prix in a

300
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,520
row and still not winning the 
World Championship? 

301
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,760
It's amazing so. 
So Jimmy Jibba Jabba Jabba. 

302
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,400
OK, that's difficult to say 
after a couple of orange 

303
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,720
squashes. 
It would be my pleasure to be on

304
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,560
the show 1 week as a Witches 
fan. 

305
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,040
Another confession on Ben 
Creswell in the Prediction 

306
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,040
League. 
So is he any good? 

307
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,480
He isn't going to point you. 
He's only done one wakes up. 

308
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,720
But I think so he's. 
Not as good as me though is. 

309
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,760
He well. 
Yeah, we've got that look to 

310
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,000
look. 
For then, I believe we've sent. 

311
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,880
I believe we've sent you a link.
It's on, it's on, it's on the. 

312
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,040
On the chat, it's on the chat 
there, so if you just want to 

313
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,000
click on that mate. 
You may you may have to copy and

314
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,760
paste it into your browser, but 
I think it should be clickable. 

315
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,080
OK, see you from. 
Here, we might try it in a 

316
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,680
minute. 
So but but also I think pretty 

317
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,160
much anybody if you want to come
on. 

318
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,720
Yeah, just click on that and we 
we'd love to have you on Pete 

319
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,760
Clark. 
Parades were done like a route 

320
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,000
March in years gone by. 
Hi Pete. 

321
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,680
How you doing down at Buxton, by
the way? 

322
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,520
Done like a route March in years
gone by when everyone had done 

323
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,400
national service and knew how to
March given the way you're age 

324
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,880
there, please. 
These days the riders just 

325
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,960
humble about looking bored. 
I think that's true. 

326
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,400
I think that's true, to be 
honest. 

327
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,640
I've seen I've seen I've been in
meetings where the rides are 

328
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,000
sort of talking to you and 
they're just the hands of like 

329
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,839
that is if, well, I've just got 
to put my hand up just to 

330
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:17,800
pretend I'm waving and pretend 
I'm interested. 

331
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,440
I know a lot of them are in the 
zone but again, doesn't cost 

332
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,240
anything to just acknowledge 
because at the end of the day 

333
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,040
it's these people on the 
terraces that are helping to pay

334
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,920
your wages. 
Couple of things about that 

335
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:33,000
really. 
Is that the way they do it in 

336
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,400
Poland? 
Do the riders look interested in

337
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,720
Poland now? 
I know that there's a bigger 

338
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,120
crowd for them to react to and 
that always helps. 

339
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:44,640
But so, but I think they that's 
that show much more interest. 

340
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,560
I get the impression when I've 
I've not watched a lot of 

341
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,360
meetings in the Polish league, 
but I do get the impression in 

342
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:54,440
meeting over there they're more 
like an event than they are in 

343
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,040
this country. 
So how, how much is that of that

344
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,800
is down to the riders and how 
much of that is down to I know 

345
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,440
the team manager or whoever who 
organises that and says right 

346
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,040
and, and, and tells them what 
this is what you've got to do 

347
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,960
because I've, I've never seen, 
I've never seen that 

348
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:13,920
instruction. 
I'd say a. 

349
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,280
Combination of Perth, I think a 
lot of the, a lot of certainly a

350
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,080
lot of the prides that I've 
seen, it just feels like they're

351
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,760
copy and paste jobs from 20-30 
years ago. 

352
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,960
I mean, yeah, I'm all for 
tradition, but you can have 

353
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,160
tradition, but you can also have
stagnation. 

354
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,800
I think that's, dare I say it's 
Speedway in a nutshell. 

355
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,280
Yeah, I think, I mean, I mean 
my, the best really examples I 

356
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,960
can use are Birmingham Walls, 
because obviously they were up 

357
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,240
until recently. 
Of course. 

358
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,440
They're the 2 tracks that I was 
most frequently at. 

359
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,560
I thought the Birmingham Pride 
was pretty good, to be fair. 

360
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:53,240
I think it was better than the 
wars one. 

361
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,680
I just think I just felt the 
wars one. 

362
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,360
I mean, the the interaction with
the crowd from Porky at Walls 

363
00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:58,200
was great. 
Yeah. 

364
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,600
But I just felt the pride. 
We just felt like it was a bit 

365
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,160
rushed and no one number two, 
number two, gentlemen, start 

366
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,960
your engines. 
It's always like just, you know,

367
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,480
just get it. 
Just get it out the way and just

368
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,120
get on with it because the fans 
want to see the meeting. 

369
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:10,880
But you've got to appeal to all 
the people as well. 

370
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,120
And as I said, I think a good 
pride sets the time for the 

371
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:15,240
meeting. 
If it's something that's 

372
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,880
exciting and and gets your 
attention, you know where it's 

373
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,760
if it's something where you just
standing around with your arms 

374
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,520
folded, you're waiting for it 
to, you know, waiting for 

375
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,640
something to happen. 
Not not a great thing, I don't 

376
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,800
think. 
I mean, I've long been of the 

377
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,880
opinion that talking about 
interactivity, that if you've 

378
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,480
got an app as a writer's been 
introduced, that picture comes 

379
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,240
on with a bit of a biography 
about it. 

380
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:50,640
That's that's much more 
interesting again, Cos we're at 

381
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,840
the age of the iPad now. 
Kids love gadgets. 

382
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,920
Don't. 
They Dave Twine lets us know 

383
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,600
that the best the programme 
sorry was in the Speedway style 

384
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:07,600
last week. 
I know Jibba Jabba, sorry. 

385
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,360
Ben has said that he enjoys 
filling the programmes but. 

386
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,920
Again. 
I haven't seen which programme 

387
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,360
won from last season. 
Have you seen it? 

388
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,960
I haven't seen it, it was 
useful. 

389
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,960
Well I admin had to get hold of 
the Speedway. 

390
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,040
Starts getting more and more 
difficult to get hold of it in 

391
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,120
Birmingham. 
No research. 

392
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:26,200
What's to happen for this? 
Birmingham's programme was 

393
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,400
pretty good. 
I think it's one of the 11 

394
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,480
aspect where I think Birmingham 
were always very strong so. 

395
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,280
Dave, would you like to let us 
know who won that thing? 

396
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,040
That would be great. 
Somebody's telling about the 

397
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,640
riders. 
Just amble about looking bored 

398
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,960
but I can't see who that was. 
OK. 

399
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,960
It was peak like we've already, 
we've already written. 

400
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,680
We don't want to give him any 
more publicity. 

401
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,360
Arctic versus Plymouth tomorrow 
has just been called off. 

402
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,600
And Fred Graham says at Glasgow 
we are encouraged to bring new 

403
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,440
fans to enjoy the Theatre of 
Speed at Ashfield. 

404
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,760
The Theatre of Speed, that's 
it's a catchy name, isn't it? 

405
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,920
At Ashfield, we're also 
encouraged as regular fans to 

406
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,120
help any newbies understand our 
complicated sport. 

407
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:13,880
Now I remember when we did that,
I'm going back to the days of he

408
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,080
used to be in charge of 
Peterborough and then came to us

409
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,320
and I can't remember his name 
there. 

410
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,920
Mick Bratley. 
Mick Bratley, He started a whole

411
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,880
thing where he they were 
bringing new people in via 1 

412
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:30,280
route or another, and they had 
fans that were there to to sort 

413
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,560
of help them. 
So the volunteer fans that would

414
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,640
come and say, well, yeah, we'll 
show you how to do it and show 

415
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,000
you the ropes. 
And this is that and this is 

416
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,320
this. 
And it for a while it seemed to 

417
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,560
be working. 
And then of course, we all know 

418
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:52,600
what happened with that regime. 
And whoops, so Ben says he looks

419
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,400
a mess at the moment now. 
Has he seen us? 

420
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,280
Oh no, as you see you there, you
could see these. 

421
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,440
Parents, come on. 
OK, that's that's no problem. 

422
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,920
We'll, we'll, we would love to 
have you on anytime or anybody 

423
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,200
else. 
The truth of the matter is we 

424
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,680
want to try a new gadget. 
So that's that's the truth of 

425
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,520
everything. 
Dave Albrighton, Porky Jones was

426
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,240
a good announcer down at 
Monmouth, got crowd going and Mr

427
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,280
Wolf. 
Mr Wolf was brilliant. 

428
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,120
Mr Wolf was brilliant. 
I know Spike, he was a great 

429
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:26,840
character, perfect for that 
role. 

430
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,600
I know of somebody that would 
disagree with that. 

431
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,320
Yes, I know. 
I think we've made the same 

432
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,800
person so. 
He he was a little bit Marmite, 

433
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,840
I think. 
I, I, I got the impression 

434
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,360
really at Birmingham last year, 
I don't think his heart was 

435
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,560
really in it, to be honest. 
He had to, he had to work a lot 

436
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,120
harder at, at Birmingham because
I mean, the layout of the 

437
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:49,960
stadium is a lot different to 
what it was at Mama. 

438
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,240
It was easy at Mama to interact 
with the crowd because obviously

439
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,800
you could say them at 
Birmingham, they're obviously on

440
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,240
the level. 
But also, what was the to 

441
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,120
interact against? 
Oh, we lost again. 

442
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:07,400
Yeah, you know, I mean. 
It's the one that we'll say 

443
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,040
about Porky. 
He was very good at having 

444
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,560
banter with the UI fans. 
You know, Somerset came, people 

445
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:13,680
like, oh, have you left the 
tractor out? 

446
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,160
Have you left the tractor in the
car park? 

447
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,800
Is that your tractor and you 
bumped into? 

448
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,160
But he would always make a point
at the end of the meeting of 

449
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,840
getting everyone to give their 
wife hands a round of applause. 

450
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,240
I actually don't see them being 
anything wrong with a little bit

451
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,800
of. 
Banter. 

452
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,200
Banter and a little bit of 
roughage. 

453
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,360
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with
it. 

454
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,920
I don't think that, you know, I 
think we and, and the Speedway 

455
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,720
used to be good at that and 
isn't so much because. 

456
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,000
This just seems to have gone 
down towards and woke it's thing

457
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,880
now, doesn't it? 
We don't want to upset anybody 

458
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,920
so. 
That's the trouble, yeah. 

459
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,680
Kingsland Knights had a song for
each rider when they won a race 

460
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,400
and we used to do that at 
Birmingham quite last. 

461
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,480
Bulls did it as well. 
Yeah, I don't think they made 

462
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,800
enough of it, to be honest. 
I've never had the chance of 

463
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,880
Dermingham in the last. 
Race well Birmingham used to 

464
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,320
play Chelsea dagger when at 51, 
didn't I? 

465
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,680
I must have heard about three 
times in the last five years. 

466
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:11,320
So it's it's. 
But possibly that's got old in 

467
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,400
itself. 
Chelsea Dagger. 

468
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,040
Yeah, a little bit you might be,
yeah. 

469
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:20,160
It's getting on a bit, isn't it?
That's funny, Darren Reynolds 

470
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,600
says. 
I would love to see an app that 

471
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,080
would allow the crowd the 
ability to vote for worse 

472
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,640
performance of the evening, 
leading to a pie in the face to 

473
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,560
his wife style. 
I'm not sure that you that's 

474
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,840
that's a great idea, 
particularly if it's your own 

475
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,480
rider because, yeah, you want a 
big G in them up and say no, 

476
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,120
it's just a you'll be OK next 
week. 

477
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:43,720
You know, you know, they want to
do that. 

478
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:49,560
However, for that sort of 
interactivity, what why do why 

479
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,640
is it always the sponsors that 
get to change to, to choose the 

480
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,720
rider of the night? 
What about the supporters rider 

481
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,800
of the night? 
That'd be great. 

482
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,720
Something like that getting 
people involved. 

483
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,440
I don't think anybody would have
voted at Birmingham for any ride

484
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,760
last year. 
Maybe away riders so. 

485
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,920
Maybe. 
Well, but there there again. 

486
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,800
Best away rider of the night. 
Yeah, why not? 

487
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480
It's, it's, it's a way of 
interacting, isn't it? 

488
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,200
Most entertaining rider of the 
night. 

489
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,160
It could be whatever you want 
you want it to be. 

490
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,560
It could be different each week 
it it could. 

491
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:24,880
Doesn't cost anything to do it 
either, does it? 

492
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,120
Not really. 
I just, I just think Phil, with 

493
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,160
a lot of these clubs, a lot of 
it is just laziness. 

494
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,440
Oh, this is the way we've always
done it. 

495
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:31,680
We'll just carry on doing it 
this way. 

496
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,800
But as I said, you know, there's
tradition and the stagnation and

497
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,280
Speedway for me veers in towards
stagnation far too much and has 

498
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,880
done it for a long time. 
Absolutely. 

499
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,360
Even if you've got a right. 
I mean, the one thing I think 

500
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,360
Speedway does miss is the 
pantomime villain. 

501
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:49,360
Certainly I think the Grand Prix
misses it now that Nicky 

502
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:51,840
Peterson's. 
Do you know, I was thinking 

503
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,120
about that the other day, Yeah, 
Yeah. 

504
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,640
I know he never used to do Lapse
of Honour because he always knew

505
00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,040
what was coming in the white 
track, but there's nothing wrong

506
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,160
with it. 
There's nothing wrong with just,

507
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,960
you know, a bit of pantomime 
booing and. 

508
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,560
It it brings, it puts bums on 
seats. 

509
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,360
Yeah, it's like that old adage 
of the the, you know what I 

510
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,080
mean? 
Yeah, well, every time I went, 

511
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:15,720
every I know, every time I went 
to Cardiff when, when Nicky was 

512
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,320
in the Grand Prix, it wasn't any
coincidence that every time he 

513
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,600
was at the tapes, most people 
had their phones at them filming

514
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,240
it because they knew there was a
chance that he would do 

515
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,760
something daft and he would get 
you would get some sort of 

516
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,960
ruckus afterwards. 
What was it that there was a 

517
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,920
promoter that said two riders 
were fighting in the pits? 

518
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,760
Don't fight here. 
Take it outside where the crowd 

519
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,520
can see it. 
Yeah, but but like you know, 

520
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,720
it's so Benson is going to come 
on next week after the first 

521
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,960
fixture more to talk about. 
OK, well, I mean, always good to

522
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,920
have any of you guys and that's 
what we're all about really. 

523
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,960
He's it's not we don't know 
nothing. 

524
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,800
We get all of our from from you 
guys 9 times out of 10. 

525
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,400
The Northampton announcement 
today, advertising for staff, 

526
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,480
pit, Marshall start Marshall, 
Clerk of the course, etcetera. 

527
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,320
These jobs are pivotal to run a 
meeting, something you just 

528
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,880
don't turn up and do. 
Got a couple of, only got a 

529
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,960
couple of weeks started to get 
all these people in so. 

530
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,040
Yeah, I mean, you say you don't 
just turn up and do, but that's 

531
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:19,880
exactly what I did at Birmingham
in 2007 as as sort of on a whim,

532
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:20,600
I think. 
Do you know what? 

533
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,560
I'm going to go and try and 
become a cat track Marshall. 

534
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:23,920
Yeah, for 20 years they couldn't
get rid of. 

535
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,480
I couldn't get rid. 
Of my training for that 

536
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,520
basically involved Grand Drew is
saying don't go on the track, 

537
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,600
don't put your red, don't put 
your red flag out unless the red

538
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,000
lights come on. 
That was it. 

539
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,520
That was. 
That was the instructions I was 

540
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,800
given. 
You weren't very good at that. 

541
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,240
I'd like to all the experience 
of standing where you stood for 

542
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:52,320
one of the practise nights and I
remember coming to laughing that

543
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,160
thinking how the hell does he 
stand here every weekend? 

544
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,840
It was freezing, freezing. 
Because it was free. 

545
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,440
Well, there is that. 
OK, so we we've got the the 

546
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,680
results. 
Hi, Lawrence. 

547
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:12,560
Nice, good to see Buxton 
starting off well with the their

548
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,600
first meeting and I know they 
lost the thing, but you know 

549
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,080
what I mean. 
Lawrence Rogers, Edinburgh won 

550
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,760
overall, Brummys won cover of 
the year and the Bulls won the 

551
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,400
National League One. 
There you go. 

552
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,800
So that's. 
Good stuff. 

553
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,440
I've always felt that the 
Brummys cover for the last 3-4 

554
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,320
years really has been a good. 
Birmingham was very good. 

555
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,520
It was a very, I mean Bellevue's
is always, is always good as 

556
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,800
well. 
I think a lot of programmes that

557
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,840
I've looked at in recent, as I 
say, I don't regularly buy 

558
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,480
programmes as much in the last 
10 years, but the ones that I've

559
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,640
looked at, a lot of them just 
seem to be full of adverts. 

560
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,960
I mean, that's, that's fine for 
getting, you know, income into 

561
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,920
the club, but you don't want to 
do just really a programme just 

562
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,680
full of adverts every week. 
You want something to 

563
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,120
substantial in there. 
So. 

564
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,320
I've always felt that with the 
programmes that missed a trick 

565
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,880
because, I mean, people don't 
buy them anymore. 

566
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,600
But if you're an away supporter,
some some people collect these 

567
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,800
things, but there's never 
anything or hardly anything in 

568
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,360
there for the UA teams in most 
tracks. 

569
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,800
There's nothing in there for. 
Maybe a, there's maybe a page, 

570
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,160
isn't there so. 
It's introducing that team or 

571
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,600
you know, you know your own 
team, don't you don't need that 

572
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,200
introduction, but perhaps an 
article by the opposing team 

573
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,720
manager or something like, you 
know, just something to attract 

574
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,280
them to buy the programme. 
But anyway, Jeff Daniels 

575
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,280
concerning news about Oxford 
last week. 

576
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,760
With the Dogs not being streamed
anymore, that was a big chunk of

577
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,120
rent for the stadium. 
Can Speedway survive there being

578
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,680
the only sport there? 
Well, I think they have put a 

579
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,240
statement, they put a statement 
out immediately saying that 

580
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,880
certainly at the moment they're 
able to carry on. 

581
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,440
I believe there is, there's 
still some negotiations going on

582
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,960
with Oxford Stadium about 
replacing the the company that 

583
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,320
are doing the streaming to try 
and keep the dogs going. 

584
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,720
But that that is obviously, you 
know, a massive concern. 

585
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,920
It would be considering all the 
effort that was. 

586
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,720
Put in together. 
Yeah, considering all the effort

587
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,800
they got into getting into 
getting back, getting the 

588
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,320
stadium back, it would be a real
shame if after a couple of years

589
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,720
it sort of went back again to 
being derelict and disused and 

590
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,160
we lost Oxford and we can't 
really afford to lose too many 

591
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,640
more clubs unfortunately at the 
moment. 

592
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,680
It's the same old problem, isn't
it, of we don't own our own 

593
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,080
stadiums. 
Yeah, I mean most of the the 

594
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:32,720
tracks now that are around 
pretty much they own the stadium

595
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,440
or they are the only one, the 
only sport there or something I 

596
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,000
think. 
Especially, of course, if we get

597
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,400
to the situation where England 
bans ground racing as well, as 

598
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,640
they've done in Scotland and 
Wales. 

599
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,160
Yeah, that's another one that's 
we don't know how that's going 

600
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,160
to affect things either. 
How's the voting coming on I? 

601
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,640
Should get it. 
Up straight. 

602
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,320
For those of you joining late, 
you can vote on Do you think 

603
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,800
speed will become one league 
within five years? 

604
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,880
And so far, you can probably see
it better than I can, Chris. 

605
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,920
So you're gonna read where we 
are. 

606
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,040
I will get the percentages up a 
second. 

607
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,280
There we go, because. 
Bigger than less than isn't 

608
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,320
really great. 
Still can't see the percentages 

609
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,680
but yeah. 
I can't see anything. 

610
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,120
So you're doing better than me. 
I should. 

611
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:19,560
Work. 
There you go. 

612
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,440
I should work on that actually. 
About 6040 so far I think it 

613
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,920
looks. 
Like 6040, doesn't it? 

614
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,120
Yeah. 
Well, maths, yeah. 

615
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,040
Well, I'll look at graphs 
everyday at work, so I'll sort 

616
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,520
of get to the. 
OK, it's your job from now on, 

617
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,000
then you've just given yourself 
that job. 

618
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,520
So most people are saying yes, 
but it's not. 

619
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,760
It's not. 
Not over not not. 

620
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,840
Overwhelmingly. 
Did you? 

621
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:46,600
So yeah. 
Pete Clark says Birmingham wants

622
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,000
something shocker. 
Yeah, shocker. 

623
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,240
So maybe we should come back 
now. 

624
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,160
Just to do the programme. 
Just to do the programme. 

625
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,560
Yeah, Fred Graham, totally agree
on the banter front. 

626
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,320
That's why the Scottish derbies 
are so looked forward to. 

627
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,840
Absolutely. 
Yeah, absolutely. 

628
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,240
What was the what was the best 
matches for Wolverhampton? 

629
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,200
Cradley matches? 
Cradley matches because you 

630
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,760
hated each other. 
Hated losing to them. 

631
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,120
I know that's that. 
We wait to recover to recover. 

632
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,760
From Birmingham used to have a 
variety of teams. 

633
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,160
We used to love playing against 
Wolves because we very often 

634
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,120
beat them. 
Yeah, we used to love playing 

635
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,720
against Cradley. 
Would be very often lost to 

636
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,400
them. 
Eastbourne is probably the big 

637
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,280
one, really. 
But that's not a local Derby, 

638
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,520
but the the banks are between 
Eastbourne and and Birmingham 

639
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,880
was you wouldn't believe. 
In the 70s, so it was cradling 

640
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,560
Coventry, Birmingham, Coventry 
as well was Birmingham. 

641
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,720
Coventry was a big rivalry as 
was crowded Coventry as well 

642
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:44,720
Oxford. 
I mean obviously we've seen 

643
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:49,280
Coventry stage the challenge 
made to get to Oxford last week.

644
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,040
You know, that was a great 
rivalry at one time. 

645
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,160
And the banter between the two, 
the two sets of supporters, was 

646
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,640
off the scale, sometimes too far
off. 

647
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,400
Maybe sometimes, yeah. 
So I've, I've been at Duddywood 

648
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,640
many times and seen that sort of
a spillover into fights and 

649
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,320
things like that. 
But but my God, you knew, you 

650
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,200
know you enjoyed the damn thing.
Not when you're playing against 

651
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,720
Craig, because we normally lost 
that. 

652
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:22,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
OK. 

653
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Do you want to I? 
Just want to see if this works 

654
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:26,800
now. 
OK, what are we doing? 

655
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,560
No, it's messing me about. 
We've got you've got a new toy. 

656
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,000
See. 
I wanted to. 

657
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,840
See if we could see the actual 
actual. 

658
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,040
Percentages. 
Ah, there we go. 

659
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,440
You put your spot on. 
Oh. 

660
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,280
OK, where? 
Spot on. 6014 There we go. 

661
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,480
Oh yeah, there you go. 
Excellent. 

662
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,040
OK, fantastic. 
Now can you start playing with 

663
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,080
your toy and put the backs I 
like back up? 

664
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,680
You know me, I like playing with
me. 

665
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,640
Knobs just. 
Me. 

666
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,920
So Jimmy Jibba, Jabba is saying 
something that I can't see. 

667
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,920
Yeah, I still can't see it 
because it went the wrong way. 

668
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,240
Looked in the Speedway, started 
with the programmes. 

669
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,000
Edinburgh came first, Bellevue 
2nd, Oxford 3rd and Birmingham 

670
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,719
4th and which is 11th. 
OK, so we got the cover, that's 

671
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,320
the thing. 
And Jeff Daniels is saying 

672
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,440
something. 
Porky was great when the ices 

673
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,440
were there. 
Banter to and fro but always 

674
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,360
said at the end of meeting 
Thanks to ices fan who travelled

675
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,120
and a well done ices. 1 great 
character. 

676
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,960
That's exactly what what you 
were saying earlier. 

677
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:29,400
Can I just say, you know what? 
I've got got this. 

678
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,719
Sorry that you know that. 
Thank you. 

679
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,719
I don't know how. 
I complied to Perry Ball. 

680
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:37,920
Could you? 
Could you have been thrown down?

681
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,800
32 page one at Buxton. 
We sold loads. 

682
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,560
It says Lawrence Rogers. 
Cold outboxing. 

683
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,360
No surprise there with a good 
sized crowd and an entertainer 

684
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,360
meeting. 
Next one, Sunday the 19th. 

685
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,080
And you will be playing against 
who? 

686
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,440
Lawrence? 
That would be nice to know. 

687
00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,960
Phil Tyler. 
You're going to look it up, 

688
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:01,880
aren't you? 
Are you going to look it up? 

689
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,120
Lazy Phil Tyler? 
That's probably why tomorrow is 

690
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,480
off. 
His forecast is good. 

691
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,440
Just means no. 
I'll have to go up go to work 

692
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:16,880
instead of travelling up. 
Daniel Hughes back in the 2000 

693
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,120
Sheffield race card was just a 
pull out, a three card type. 

694
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,000
It was £3.50 at Bellevue but was
full of rider profile. 

695
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,120
Yeah, I think Bellevue do a good
programme. 

696
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:31,480
Bellevue have always done a 
decent effort with programmes 

697
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,080
anyway, so Oh dear, what are we 
going to? 

698
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,880
What am I going to be told to 
laugh at this time? 

699
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,880
Pete Clark said there was always
a fight at the Dudley Wolves 

700
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,800
trophy matches and that was just
the women. 

701
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:47,960
Yeah, I know that's. 
Big crowd, big crowd at Plymouth

702
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,480
Saturday, certainly the biggest 
I've seen in years. 

703
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,120
A club going in the right 
direction, especially their 

704
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,720
social media output they've been
doing. 

705
00:35:55,720 --> 00:36:00,120
We will have to have a look at 
that in a couple of weeks, no 

706
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:04,240
doubt. 
Well, it's took us 36 minutes, 

707
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,000
but we've. 
Caught up? 

708
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,200
Well, This is why. 
This is why we love doing this 

709
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,600
programme. 
It's the interaction. 

710
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,240
Yeah. 
Talking of interactions, shall 

711
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,960
we start off on our prediction 
league? 

712
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,280
Oh, do we? 
Have to Why not? 

713
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,560
This is the Weekly. 
Let's have a little bit of a 

714
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:25,960
laugh at Webby's expense, isn't 
it? 

715
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,880
Yes, that's the one. 
Normally it's the laugh at my 

716
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,880
expense, but. 
You've done a lot. 

717
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,040
Last year, right? 
So far joint top at the moment, 

718
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,360
so it is early. 
Days of it my life. 

719
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,040
Just a bit. 
You just burst your bubble A. 

720
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,240
Little bit so is this. 
The table. 

721
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,360
That's the table as it stands at
the moment, yes. 

722
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,680
OK. 
So if Gordon Gambrill is top of 

723
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,120
it, then yes, that is the 
current table, yeah. 

724
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,200
OK, so that number one is Gordon
Gambrill, Chris Thorogood, Matt 

725
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,640
Buck, Simon Corbitt, Andrew 
Garner, me, Elliot Hunt, David 

726
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,200
Twine and Andrew Green. 
Where have you coming at the 

727
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,160
moment? 
17th, 17th TMA and. 

728
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,600
This one is. 
So is this what? 

729
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:09,240
And the other one is the results
from last week. 

730
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,200
So OK, let. 
Me. 

731
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,440
Get that one up. 
Since this is your baby, I'll 

732
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,320
let you if we can never get it 
up, Yeah. 

733
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,600
I can't read it from there 
unfortunately, so I can get it 

734
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,280
on there let. 
Me get this one off. 

735
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,840
First, Oh dear, this. 
This makes such good radio. 

736
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,720
Sorry. 
There we go. 

737
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,160
Wow, it's. 
Really colourful, yeah, there's 

738
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,520
a lot of stuff going on there. 
I can't. 

739
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,840
I had a few meetings, obviously.
I can't read any of it, yeah. 

740
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:40,800
A few meetings obviously about 
postponed last week, but I think

741
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,320
that's a bit of a sign of the 
times, isn't it? 

742
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,160
You have 8 fixtures for a bank 
holiday weekend. 

743
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,560
You know, some years, a few 
years ago, you'd have had about 

744
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,360
20 at least. 
Wouldn't you so? 

745
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:56,600
But yeah, Dave Twine, Andrew 
Green, Simon Gordon and Chris 

746
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,600
all scoring 5 points. 
They all got one exact score 

747
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,200
right through them getting 
correctly predicting Lesson to 

748
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,520
beat Bellevue by 10 and I've 
correctly predicted Paul to beat

749
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:14,160
Plymouth by 4. 
So yeah, pretty even scoring on 

750
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:21,240
the on the second on the third 
week of this of the competition,

751
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:23,720
so. 
Right. 

752
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:27,920
So before we go through the the 
predictions for the next lot of 

753
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,840
matches, let's take a quick 
look. 

754
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,440
I bet with nobody's got this 
ready, I'm saying this and 

755
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,720
nobody's got it ready. 
The, the tables, you see how we 

756
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:41,080
think each club's doing what 
what's, I mean, we'll have a 

757
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,320
look at the Premier League and I
think we'll, we can say that 

758
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,960
Bellevue's really the one that's
flexed their muscles the most. 

759
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,720
Well, at the moment there's 
nobody got any points because 

760
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:51,920
the Premiership hasn't started 
yet. 

761
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,600
It's. 
But but as far as the matches 

762
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,240
that they're completed. 
Yeah, at the moment, certainly 

763
00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:59,640
the Bellevue of course, 
obviously they've got 4, four 

764
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:00,840
matches. 
Obviously they've written in the

765
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,680
cup, five points from there, 
Sheffield with three, Leicester 

766
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,280
with two. 
There's nothing been taking 

767
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,560
taking place in the southern 
section yet, so all the matches 

768
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,160
so far in the top league have 
all been in the north section of

769
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:19,640
the of the Premiership so. 
And in the Championship, you've 

770
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,600
got to say that Plymouth are 
surprising people a little bit. 

771
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,760
I know they're. 
They'll be disappointed that 

772
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,800
they didn't get the victory on 
or get something on Saturday at 

773
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,240
home having done so well to get,
you know, it's within four 

774
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:37,840
points. 
But red car obviously, it's 

775
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,360
obviously the base in Northern. 
The base in series obviously is 

776
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,400
what's taking, you know, 
precedence over the moment in 

777
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,440
the Championship. 
So in the Northern Section 

778
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,760
you've got Red Car, there are 
two matches with three points. 

779
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,880
Scunthorpe 2 from 2. 
Southern Section Paul, we've got

780
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,960
5 from their two matches. 
Oxford. 

781
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,200
Oxford, of course haven't ridden
the meeting yet. 

782
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,440
They've had the won the meeting 
and that was the challenge. 

783
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,080
The match against Coventry and 
Plymouth two matches and failed 

784
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,760
to score a point in either of 
those two matches. 

785
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,520
Unfortunately for them so. 
OK. 

786
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,080
And I I think we can't really do
an awful lot about the National 

787
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,160
League. 
Again, it's not really been 

788
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,640
enough, you know, there's, 
there's been, I think this is 

789
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,800
one of the problems isn't, it's 
just been such a stop, stop 

790
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,680
period of the season, isn't it? 
So you're usually getting well 

791
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,040
into the fixtures now, aren't 
you, So? 

792
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,920
I've got a few more on the shout
box to catch up with and then 

793
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,520
we'll start going through our 
predictions for next week. 

794
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,240
We've read Phil, so Lawrence 
Rogers is letting us know it's a

795
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:38,520
challenge match against an NDL 
Nomad side of riders currently 

796
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,240
without a team place putting 
themselves in the shop window. 

797
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:47,000
I like that Fred Graham says 
Daiquan says best crowd since 

798
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,800
2016. 
I presume that's the Plymouth we

799
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,280
was talking about. 
I can't remember now. 

800
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,040
He'll he'll tell us. 
Weather permitting. 

801
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,040
First Scottish Derby meeting 
this Friday at Armadump and 

802
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,400
there will be a big travelling 
Tiger support on the third bend.

803
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:04,600
I like this Armadump. 
This is more of the. 

804
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,200
Otherwise, just just to describe
it, that is Fred's comment, not 

805
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,040
yours. 
Yes. 

806
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,360
Absolutely. 
I did say Fred, Graham says. 

807
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:17,480
We don't want all the Edinburgh.
Fans, No, no, no, no, no Sir, I 

808
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,040
should correct you once on on 
something that you said earlier,

809
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,360
which was that you get at least 
20 matches on bank holiday. 

810
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,000
I think you're more likely to 
get 20 rain offs but. 

811
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:29,480
Yes, it depends on which bank 
holiday it was, didn't it Sir? 

812
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:34,080
But hey ho, right then, shall we
believe it's me to start this 

813
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,080
week it. 
Is indeed, yeah. 

814
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,480
So what have we got? 
Well Owen, the first one 

815
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,760
obviously was Oxford against 
Plymouth but as as people know 

816
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,640
that is now off. 
So the first one on the list is 

817
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,800
Paul against Scunthorpe in the 
KO Cup. 

818
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,960
First round, first leg. 
OK. 

819
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,640
Well, I will go with Paul for by
12 points. 

820
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,200
OK. 
I've gone for Paul by 18 on that

821
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:58,920
one. 
OK. 

822
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,360
Have I done mine you? 
Haven't done yours yet, haven't 

823
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:01,920
I? 
Nope. 

824
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,520
OK, OK, so who's the change 
again? 

825
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,400
Paul against Scunthorpe. 
Do you want me to make? 

826
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,880
An I'll go, no, hang on, I'll go
yes, yes, yes, because that's 

827
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,320
got to put it up. 
I'll go Paul by 10. 

828
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,240
OK, OK, all right, next one. 
Ipswich make their start to the 

829
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:25,680
2026 season after all the 
shenanigans at Foxhall and they 

830
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,600
will be taking on the Kings Lynn
stars in the southern section of

831
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,240
the Premiership KO Cup. 
Interesting. 

832
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:36,080
What do you reckon, Matt? 
I've gone Ipswich by 12, four. 

833
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,800
That wouldn't surprise me, 
actually. 

834
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,960
No, I, I, I was, I was looking 
the sort of 46 marks, so I'm 

835
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,800
going to say 6. 
OK, next one is the base in 

836
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,560
series Norfolk section, red car 
against Workington. 

837
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,000
It's me, isn't it? 
Yeah. 

838
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,280
Workington by 10 we. 
Call that one. 

839
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,520
I'm very surprised. 
I'll say red car by 10. 

840
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,960
OK, I've gone red car by 8. 
So Chris is probably going to 

841
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,360
get the only one that's going to
get that one. 

842
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,200
Of course, yeah. 
OK, next one. 

843
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,520
As Fred has said, it is the 
first Scottish Derby of the 

844
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,440
season and it is at Armadale. 
I will say Edinburgh against 

845
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,720
where's go? 
Chicken Edinburgh versus 

846
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:17,600
Glasgow's up to you. 
Get this one. 

847
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,440
Edinburgh by 4:00. 
I've gone Glasgow by 8. 

848
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,120
Interesting. 
Glasgow boy Glasgow by. 

849
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,760
Don't look as strong this season
anymore but they do always raise

850
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,720
the game and they're bringing to
their neighbours, don't they? 

851
00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:30,880
So absolutely not saying that 
Glasgow don't bother. 

852
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,360
OK, the next one is the 2nd. 
Is it uncomfortable sitting on 

853
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,120
that fence? 
Second leg of the Knockout Cup 

854
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,680
and that is Scunthorpe against 
Paul. 

855
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,360
Paul by two. 
You're going? 

856
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,480
Yes. 
I'm trying to multitask 

857
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,600
Scunthorpe against Paul and. 
Then okay, Scunthorpe by 6. 

858
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,200
You said Paul, Yes, I'm tempted.
By the usual. 

859
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,080
Yeah, but I'm not going, so I'm 
gonna say Scunthorpe by two, 

860
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,960
okay? 
The base in series next on 

861
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:02,200
Saturday, that is Plymouth 
against Oxford. 

862
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:03,960
Okie, dokie. 
That's up to you, Matt. 

863
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Plymouth by 10. 
Sorry, I meant Chris, you said 

864
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:07,640
Matt. 
Yeah, I know I did. 

865
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,440
So. 
Plymouth by, you said. 

866
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,560
My name, so I responded. 
Plymouth by 10. 

867
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,800
OK, I wanted to say Plymouth by 
10, but I'm gonna go. 

868
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,640
You'll be kicking yourself when 
it is Plymouth by ten and last 

869
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,120
but by no means least, in the 
southern section of the 

870
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,640
Premiership, King's Lynn against
Ipswich, that's. 

871
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,600
The league. 
The league Champions. 

872
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:31,960
Yeah, No. 
Yeah, Ipswich by 12. 

873
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,680
I'm sorry, who was it against? 
Kingsland against Ipswich. 

874
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,360
It's a subtle bar, so. 
You said by 12, didn't you? 

875
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:44,520
Yeah, I'm, I'm going to say, I'm
going to say King's Lynn by 4. 

876
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,840
I've gone King's Lynn by 16. 
Interesting. 

877
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:50,480
Well, you quite like the look of
King's Lynn this year, don't 

878
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,320
you? 
Yes, we've been strung by King's

879
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,400
Lynn before because I've thought
they've had good scenes before 

880
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:55,680
and they've ended up not doing 
so well. 

881
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,480
So OK, OK, that's it. 
So, so we've had 18 responses so

882
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,760
far on to this weeks 
predictions. 

883
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,560
So Yep, so going alright. 
So just having a look at some of

884
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,600
these graphs that it gives up as
well. 

885
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,480
So some, you know, good, good 
predictions there. 

886
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,000
King's Lynn against Ipswich, 
there's a vast majority of 

887
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,240
people going for a home win. 
I think the Commons score is 

888
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:19,840
4941 to King's Lynn's. 
Eight people have gone for that 

889
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:24,200
so far, so not really giving the
witches much of a chance in that

890
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,760
one, so. 
Slight change in our poll, it's 

891
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,520
now 61%. 
Yes, 39%. 

892
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,160
Okie, dokie. 
OK. 

893
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,920
Just just going back really on 
what we said about the riders 

894
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,800
needing to sort of interact with
the crowd more as well. 

895
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:44,480
Yeah, it feels, feels in a lot 
of sense it's a ride of winter 

896
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:45,800
hate. 
And then if that just peels off 

897
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,440
to the bits, it almost feels 
like they're just finishing the 

898
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:48,560
shift at the factory, doesn't 
it? 

899
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,440
You know, So it sort of kills 
the adrenaline. 

900
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,240
It's, you know, just a simple 
slow down lap with the just, you

901
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:56,080
know, way after the crowd. 
I mean, I used a lot what they 

902
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,320
used to do at Peterborough when 
the riders used to go up to the 

903
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,080
fence and do hard fights with 
the kiss. 

904
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,400
Because you know, you're a kid 
and you've interacted with a 

905
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,480
rock, with a rider at a meeting 
you feel like you've been in, 

906
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:05,800
you've been involved in, haven't
you? 

907
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,120
Just I used to do that at 
Coventry. 

908
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:08,480
Yeah, that means a lot, doesn't 
it? 

909
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,360
You know, for a kid standing at 
the fence, or even when a rider 

910
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,680
throws a pair of goggles or 
throws a tear off into the 

911
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,040
crowd. 
I mean, you used to that, didn't

912
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,200
you? 
Used to collect them off and 

913
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,640
give them to the kids. 
You know, it's, it's like a 

914
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,080
souvenir from a meeting, isn't 
it? 

915
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,440
So these are, I think the riders
have to realise that. 

916
00:46:24,720 --> 00:46:28,240
My son's dish bike, just from 
bits and pieces. 

917
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,800
They've got, you know, it's 
building the next generator's 

918
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,080
relation of supporters, isn't 
it? 

919
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,560
I mean, I think this is where I 
think I've got such a lot of 

920
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:41,440
respect for Emmel Saifertolov 
because he came over here and he

921
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:42,840
certainly wasn't the prima 
Donna. 

922
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,240
He interacted well with 
supporters home and away. 

923
00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:50,040
I know when when Ipswich came to
to Wolverhampton there was a 

924
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,000
massive queue of people waiting 
to get his autograph and that 

925
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,520
photographs taken him and he 
gave time to every single one of

926
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,680
them. 
So fair play to him for for 

927
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,280
doing that. 
It wasn't just what he did on 

928
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,680
the track, it was what he did 
off the track. 

929
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,320
He was a real model professional
as well. 

930
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:07,240
It seems to be something that's 
lost from our sport and it was 

931
00:47:07,240 --> 00:47:09,720
one of the things that made it 
special. 

932
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,960
Well, the, the, the, the keys, 
the key architects behind that 

933
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,440
really were the American riders,
weren't they? 

934
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,880
Because they were great at doing
things like that, were they? 

935
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,760
Particularly the with the Moran 
bro, the Moran brothers 

936
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:21,800
basically. 
I think if the Moran's were 

937
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,440
right, you know they'd probably 
be frowned. 

938
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,000
I wonder because of some of 
their so why from from the 

939
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,800
tracks? 
Yeah. 

940
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,080
I mean, everybody go says about 
what Nick Morris did, but yeah, 

941
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,480
yeah, we'll say no more on that.
I've I've seen I saw some great 

942
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,800
races between Sean Moran and and
Simon Mamba, many, many great 

943
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,000
races. 
But both of them would all even 

944
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,400
they're on that got lost in the 
battle. 

945
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,360
They'd both come round and and 
annoys the crowd and so and you 

946
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,360
felt like then you wouldn't, 
you'd interacted with them and I

947
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,040
think Speedo misses that. 
I think if a rider just wins a 

948
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,960
race and then they just tear off
back to the pits. 

949
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,000
They were always so happy. 
They were happy to talk to the 

950
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,080
crowd. 
They were happy in that to race 

951
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,960
that, you know, there was no. 
Oh, yeah. 

952
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,240
I, I, I, I I didn't get the set 
up right. 

953
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:08,000
I know I won by 6 sex lengths, 
but I didn't get the set up 

954
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:08,960
right. 
It wasn't fast enough. 

955
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,000
Yeah. 
Yeah, they weren't. 

956
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,880
Oh, yeah, that's great. 
That was worse than that was. 

957
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,520
Yeah. 
It was all fun. 

958
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,600
And that draws people in and 
there's not a lot of, there's 

959
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,720
not enough. 
Fun key thing with the American 

960
00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:23,760
riders then though is that they 
all got on, but when they were 

961
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,160
up against each other on the 
track, they desperately wanted 

962
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,120
to beat each other. 
It meant so much to them. 

963
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,680
They always, you always felt 
that they were giving it an 

964
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,760
extra 1015% bragging rights when
they were rationing against each

965
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:34,320
other. 
So. 

966
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,720
Absolutely. 
So yeah, we miss a lot. 

967
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:42,120
I've said it before, but Paco 
Castano does a little more than 

968
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,880
wave. 
Packard is one of the one of the

969
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,720
flag bearers for that, isn't it?
He's very, very. 

970
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:48,440
Good at it. 
He knows. 

971
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,040
He knows. 
He understands it. 

972
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,960
He understands it's it's 
entertainment as well as a 

973
00:48:53,960 --> 00:49:00,240
sport. 
Yeah, I, I can't disagree with 

974
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:02,320
that. 
Do we have any more? 

975
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,360
Have we got any more comments on
that? 

976
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,160
We are there was at school with 
Andrew Silva and Len used to 

977
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,880
have the lucky 50P at Hackney 
and Rye House that was thrown to

978
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,760
the kids. 
You can't do that now. 

979
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:16,840
Not even allowed to throw 
sweets. 

980
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,200
Really. 
Yep. 

981
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,120
HR because you hit somebody with
Yeah, yeah. 

982
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:23,920
Not allowed to do it. 
That's why they stopped doing 

983
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,200
the, as I say, the rods hanging 
a fence, hanging the hands over 

984
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,160
the fence, because of health and
safety. 

985
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:33,880
Isn't it so? 
Health and safety should stand 

986
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:40,560
for health and no fun. 
It's there we go. 

987
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,520
What I feel on that one. 
I mean, I remember somebody 

988
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,800
might have been you actually 
telling me about when they went 

989
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:50,480
to Stoke the one night and it 
was seemed to be 1015 minutes of

990
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,880
absolutely nothing happening at 
all. 

991
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,640
And if you've got, if you go to 
a meeting where there's nothing 

992
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,880
going on between races, 
especially if you're a new fan, 

993
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,840
you just think, well, I've paid 
a lot of money to come here, 

994
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,240
what's going on? 
Nothing's happening. 

995
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,320
What happened at Stoke at night?
And I, I don't think, I don't 

996
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,320
think I've experienced. 
Coventry used to be slow, by the

997
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:13,840
way. 
Coventry. 

998
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:18,280
Coventry was slow, yeah. 
But Stoke, they, they, they had 

999
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,600
this thing where, OK, so the 
fence got broke. 

1000
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,720
It happens and you understand 
they've got to put it back 

1001
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:27,680
together again. 
But they put it back together 

1002
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,240
and then nothing happened. 
There was no music, no 

1003
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:36,400
announcement, everybody. 
Nothing happened. 10 minutes 

1004
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,600
later, nothing had happened. 
There's nobody working on the 

1005
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,120
fence. 
The fence looks fine. 

1006
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,840
Then they announced the riders 
and the riders came out and then

1007
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,400
they sent the riders back 
because they we've got to grade 

1008
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:55,680
the track. 
If ever the phrase only in 

1009
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,640
Speedway was born for anything, 
that that was it. 

1010
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:02,240
And yeah, that that dead time 
that kills people. 

1011
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,200
And it certainly killed 
youngsters. 

1012
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,800
And by youngsters, I mean 
anybody under the age of 20, 

1013
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,640
they've gone. 
They're not interested in the 

1014
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,240
more they've gone. 
They've gone. 

1015
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,840
They've gone on. 
The phones looking at TikTok or 

1016
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,400
what they've gone, you've lost 
them. 

1017
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,960
Daniel Hughes Riders did go to 
the bar and after meeting to see

1018
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,960
the fans but now they're off to 
the airport for the next 

1019
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,760
meeting. 
This is so true. 

1020
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,400
The brands you see are to the 
bar after the meeting didn't the

1021
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:39,120
sometimes sometimes before the. 
Meeting Dave Twine, somebody 

1022
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,520
said you're going to have to 
make that bigger mate. 

1023
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:47,480
That's stop it. 
Making your own jokes. 

1024
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:51,280
Somebody said that the riders at
Buxton had. 

1025
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,160
Had their coats on during 
presentation. 

1026
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:55,840
Had their coats on during 
presentation. 

1027
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,920
It is cold. 
It's very, very cold. 

1028
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,160
In Sweden they go around with 
flags after the race. 

1029
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,200
I do used to do that Birmingham 
if they won. 

1030
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,000
It just didn't happen very 
often. 

1031
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:15,560
The cleanest flag in the in the.
It's your red flag, by the way, 

1032
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:16,880
that you I don't. 
Know. 

1033
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,560
It's in here, OK, It's in here. 
The red flag that I didn't. 

1034
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,240
I didn't get much for it so I 
just kept it. 

1035
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,800
One of the last showmen in the 
UK was the late Danny Ayers. 

1036
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,720
Absolutely yeah, Ashfield loved 
his celebrations. 

1037
00:52:29,720 --> 00:52:32,480
All Tigers riders come round 
after winning a race and even 

1038
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,280
the way riders do it at Ashfield
due to the applause from the 

1039
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,240
crowd. 
Where are the showmen? 

1040
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,760
Who are the showmen? 
They've been, he's told. 

1041
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,640
Not to be sure. 
That's yeah, essentially. 

1042
00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:51,160
But I mean score next. 
Yeah, Score was great. 

1043
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,200
Score was doing his, doing his 
downs. 

1044
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,120
You know, that was the first. 
I remember the first time we did

1045
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,120
that. 
You know, nobody's ever seen 

1046
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,600
anybody do that sort of thing 
before. 

1047
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,160
I think in the next race, Sam 
tried to do 1 and ended the 

1048
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:07,880
white backside. 
So, but yeah, but again, you 

1049
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,080
know, again, it's interaction 
with the crowd and it's, it's 

1050
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,720
been a shaman, you know, and we 
seem to have lost that a little 

1051
00:53:13,720 --> 00:53:17,320
bit, unfortunately, because the,
the, you know, we can't all be, 

1052
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,960
they can't, the riders seem to 
always be like robots in some 

1053
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,200
ways, don't they? 
You can't do this. 

1054
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:25,360
You can't do that. 
So apparently Jeff Daniels 

1055
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,120
reckons Chase the Ace throws 
sweets into the crowd. 

1056
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:32,160
Still at the NSSI. 
Think that's the luck of having 

1057
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,680
your own stadium. 
I know at Birmingham we wanted 

1058
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,000
to do stuff like that because 
it's not our stadium. 

1059
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,800
They got undergrounds and got 
their own HR personnel. 

1060
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,600
We was told no uncertain terms. 
We weren't allowed to do that. 

1061
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,680
We was told no uncertain terms. 
We weren't allowed to do a lot 

1062
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:50,680
of things. 
But yeah, maybe we should write 

1063
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:55,160
a book about that one day, Pete.
Maybe we should. 

1064
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:57,320
OK. 
So I think this is probably the 

1065
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:08,000
final look at our poll, OK. 
And it's finished on 63% to 38% 

1066
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,760
who said no. 
OK, what did? 

1067
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:12,960
What would you have voted if you
had voted? 

1068
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,680
I'm not sure to be honest. 
Well, the client didn't think 

1069
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,240
yes, but I just think the 
priorities seem to be trying to 

1070
00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:27,120
hold that off as long as they 
possibly can. 

1071
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,920
But the less clubs they get, the
more the more I think they're 

1072
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:32,600
going to be forced to do it in 
the end, so. 

1073
00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:39,880
OK, well on that note, just a 
quick reminder, we're going to 

1074
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:44,800
look at Sheffield over this week
as far as their online presence.

1075
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:50,400
And we would love to have your 
race day reports either on the 

1076
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:56,280
day or if you want to just shove
them up on the shower box or 

1077
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,040
even if you want to come on and 
we'll give you the link to do 

1078
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,600
that, that would be. 
Yeah, there's no meeting at 

1079
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,920
Sheffield this way, by the way. 
There isn't any. 

1080
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:04,960
There's. 
No meeting at Sheffield this 

1081
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,120
way, by the way. 
So we can't do Sheffield then? 

1082
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,240
It's good though, we've had that
just I did. 

1083
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:12,480
Ask you at the beginning was I 
thought they did. 

1084
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:16,920
So has Plymouth got one? 
Plymouth have got one. 

1085
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:18,120
Yeah, they've got one on 
Saturday. 

1086
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,280
They've got Oxford. 
OK, well. 

1087
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,720
Obviously I'm going to Plymouth 
later in the season anyway so, 

1088
00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:27,040
and I went last year as well so.
Are you saying you don't want to

1089
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,400
do Plymouth? 
Oh, no, happily do Plymouth, 

1090
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:29,960
Yeah, so. 
Oh. 

1091
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,480
God, this is much harder than I 
realised. 

1092
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,280
So we're going to do Plymouth 
this week. 

1093
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,560
So yeah, if you go down to 
Plymouth, give a short message, 

1094
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,560
but. 
Again, any any meetings that you

1095
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,680
go to, if you want to give us 
your feedback, please do so. 

1096
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
Absolutely, yeah. 
It's things that you've seen 

1097
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,680
good practise and bad practise. 
Can I do this to signal the end?

1098
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,960
That usually means you've got 4 
minutes, but OK, I'm sorry. 

1099
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:03,480
OK. 
And on that bombshell, we will 

1100
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:07,280
wish you a good night and enjoy 
your Speedway this week. 

1101
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:07,640
Yep. 
See. 

1102
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:09,840
You next week, of course. 
See you next week. 

1103
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:18,280
Take care everyone. 
Sweet White Tower. 

1104
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:29,560
White Tower White Tower. 
Welcome to the Speedway Tavern. 

1105
