The Sky presentation team could be on "danger money" tomorrow. Their "studio" didn't seem to be constructed entirely sturdily as it swayed and shook in the wind at Scunthorpe last Tuesday, did it? And this week they in the home territory of an insane tractor-driving lunatic? Yes, the Sky team head to Arlington, the personal fiefdom of Bobby D, this week to cover the meeting between the Eagles of Eastbourne and Rosco's "rocking Robins" from Swindon. Both teams have enjoyed good starts to the season. No great surprise when it comes to the Robins, but very few expected the Eagles to be flying high. But they have been. However, they appear to have injury concerns going into this meeting; star reserve Simon Gustafsson is out injured, while the Flopster missed Eastbourne's visit to the side of the Lake on Friday and Davey Watt withdrew injured after a couple of rides. So it could be a patched-up Eagles team taking to the track, making this meeting a tough one to call. I think the Robins might just edge it, but a touch of insane tractor-driving from Bobby D could just confound them. Let the screaming commence (and, for once the screaming will be entirely justified if the screaming imbecile sees Bobby D, evil glint in his eye, heading for the Sky studio on his tractor).

Mimi, would that be Lukas "Eight Points At Lakeside and conqueror of Adam Shields" Dryml ;D But surely, in advance of your visit to the West Lothian badlands on Friday, you'll be keeping a keen eye on the "future Grand Prix star" that the Robins have at reserve. I'm just hoping for an inspirational team talk from Rosco at some stage of the meeting.

Race 1 re-start yet to begin and the ref has made two shocking decisions already, do we have another poor ref who thinks two wrongs make a right ?

And the entertainment rating stands at 3%. I expect the Middlesbrough fc supporters would rate their fayre a little higher.

And Floppy's off again. Come on Schumi he couldn't help that one Davey is in pain! I'm having flashbacks of the Poole meeting on Sky last season, which Richardson started when he shouldn't have. I don't know what happens when Sky turn up, but the track becomes tricky and the racing is crap.
