I thought Rob did a great job on the centre green tonight, he got the crowd going and you never quite knew what he was gonna say next anyone else think he should do it every week?

Totally agree,Rob was worth the admission money alone, absolutely hysterical! It was great to have someone who was happy to grab people for interviews even if the scottish accent proved a little too difficult to follow!! I vote Rob does it every week

Now that's what I call entertainment It's a yes from me In fact I think Rob has now made it through the audition and won the final all in one night We got passion, interviews, singing, comedy, punditry, commentary, critiques, cheerleading, news, a bit of refereeing, Mr Motivator, mediation, knowledge, some spin, weather reporting and medical reporting ... ... oh, and some announcing and grading thrown in for good measure. In fact almost everything we didn't get before. Shaun (to be) awarded the DCF? Way to go, Rob. Please keep it going.

Rob took multi tasking to a new speedway level on Friday night. It showed passion for the sport ,fully expected him to track grade and talk to the crowd at the same time, but maybe next time. As the boss, it is easier to say controversial things than an employee can. I think him as a roving mike and Shawn centre green would be a good double act.
Don't know if it was show boating or a gee up to David Howe to mention a replacement but I think that sort of thing should be kept in house until the time is right to divulge? Calling the Ref like Rob did was real comedy, however some of the Ref's calls were even more laughable- is it me or has the standard of referring plunged to its lowest level ever? I have seen many bad calls throughout the season both home and away perhaps Refs need an assistant Ref to get another opinion between bends 1 and 2 where most contoversial calls are made?
Strange meeting-entertaining but drawn out- personally I thought the track was more suiting Berwick than us and needed watering mid meeting as the outside riders were just going backwards. Keep up the good work Rob trackside, greenside or pitside.
ps Tarmac on main entrance is huge improvement too. .

Another good night on the mic from Rob and are we seeing the emergence of a double act with Shaun. Can I suggest a mic stand is put in the tractor so this very funny banter can continue while track work is carried

So Rob did take note of my post and the double act is born. Just a couple of points-
At the start of the parade lap it is nigh impossible to hear the line ups due to engine noise.
Can Rob get his intended mike interviewees to speak up, or turn the volume up because they are barely audible two weeks running.
May the GodLeigh duo long continue- hey GodLeigh and Team start of a super group. ;D ;D. ( Ok I'm too old and you all don't get it, i'll get my coat...)
