[stuartroad]

can anyone tell me why there were no updates from the lakeside swindon match? i ended up having to listen to it on radio dibley.

The Speedway Updates site, which, lest we forget, us run by a load of fascists, relies on a supporter being willing to text them details. Custom House Kid (CHK) usually texts for Lakeside meetings, but I guess for whatever reason he either wasn't there (and no one has a duty to attend meetings, not even riders these days, or so it sometimes seems) or wasn't able to supply texts.
As the uber-boss of Speedway Updates would no doubt point out, the updates are supplied free of charge and usually at a cost to the texter - the altruism of these people should be appreciated and updates should not be assumed to be a right, but a privilege.

i appreciate that,and have done some updating for eastbourne on several occasions.
but there was a comment on the lakeside site suggesting there was a deeper problem

I noticed they were bitching on that thread aswell...Texting takes the fun out of meetings for them( unless of course you're Orion, I get the impresion he enjoys it, mainly cos he takes the piss so well ;D) I've texted friends from meetings, when they can't be there and it's a pain in the arse. So full credit to them for doing it...cos I wouldn't..

I have never sent texts from a meeting, since it is a pain in the arse. I helped out the Updates site, prior to discovering it was a den of fascists beholden to the mighty BSI, but always via telephoning through details, which is altogether more civilised.

judy or little un,posted something along the lines of "there won't be any updates due to the childish behaviour of some of the mods on the update site"

From the Lakeside forum:
I was not making life hard at all. Some joker has taken to deleting threads after they have been set up and I am not going to keep setting them up over and over again.

Best wishes,
Judy

Who knows? Best not to ask I'd think.

Judy and The Little Un are, of course, one and the same person. Interestingly, last time I looked, she was a Global Moderator at the Speedway Updates site.

Texting is a pain in the arse . Trying to balance a programme and pen , plus a pint and a fag while trying to text is a tricky business . I try to avoid it as much as possible now .

I see the infamous Judy is doing the updates for Coventry versus Peterborough - I guess she settled her differences with the fascists.

Is it on cause it's been pissing everywhere today .

[Deleted]

Just noticed . There's not that many actual Peterborough riders in their side tonight .

The Danish and Australian SWC team members are, of course, in Denmark preparing for tomorrow's meeting.
The Reading versus Ipswich meeting is also on, which means Jesper B is missing, but Kolodziej, overlooked by the Poles, is there for Reading.
