Wow! Sensational Speedway!

Much over used words on Sky Sports but I must admit even I went a bit "Nigel Pearson" on Saturday night. Leaving it to the last heat is bad enough for the blood pressure leaving it to the last lap that's heart attack material. Had we had a bit of luck earlier on it would surely have not required the skippers last gasp heroics. The ref might want another look at the start of Heat 11 having pulled back two rollers he should of made it a hattrick well that's the way I saw it from the commentary box. As for The Admiral well it really was one of those nights to be fair he couldn't help his chain going first time out and that seemed to affect the rest of his evening. Hats off to Richie for the pass of the night in Heat 12 we need some more of the same in the coming weeks. Fair play also to Stewart Dickson who showed how a good team manager can make a big difference.
Am I the only one who wonders what this new interval lark is all about? Last night we seemed to sprint through the opening 9 heats like Linford Christie and suddenly everything stopped for tea or coffee as it says in the programme. Is Uncle Len going for a Starbucks franchise in the future? Fish and Chips with Curry Sauce and a Skinny Late' anyone?

Who stole the Black and White Hat?

Come on I can't be the only one wondering what Mr Havelock snr was up to last night? Being thumped after 6 heats why on earth didn't he send the lad out for a tactical? Good job he didn't as the 8-1 they should have got might just have changed the meeting. To be honest I was up in the commentary box thinking I'd been whisked back to the 80's and Norman Kingsbury was back! Fair play to the lads for a solid performance with The Admiral providing a couple of cracking moments. Andrew Silver seems to be doing an excellent job with the boy who's beginning to look the real deal.

Spoke to a bit of a glum Jordan after the meeting just get the feeling he's wondering if its all worthwhile at the moment. Hopefully its only a temporary thing as we need all the exciting riders we can get. The crowd was well down and had Uncle Len moaning about that *#!*# Russian who was racing at Lakeside. Surely Mr Sayfutinov remembers where he first appeared in the UK?
