All Activity

Unfortunately nothing to get excited about the presentation or the running of the meeting. It is a shame that the whole package in the UK simply cannot compete with a meeting put on by the Polish federation. Oh well always tomorrow’s Polish matches to look forward to.

Two poor sides bar the obvious class from Picko. Zischke looking better every meeting otherwise not great.

Ablitt and Palm Toft back to their best at Workington

This isn’t on the paying punter. It’s all on whoever signed him. I’m a bandits supporter and as sceptical as we all were most gave Cook the chance last year and actively supported him. I hold absolutely no ill feeling towards him as a person. He simply should not have been given a team place. The gym, motocross and his push bike seam to do his mental wellness the work of good. Speedway however just isn’t working for him anymore.

Must have heard you ! Anyone else watching this thinking it’s a Bomber maximum incoming!?

And no replays... although it does seem that they've connected a 2nd camera up.

All the best laid plans etc etc

Yes this is not £15

That was basically bang on what I was thinking. Not to be horrid but I wanted to see what caused that crash hit Harris out front!

Hosepipes are no better, especially for an even watering but Oxford's Heath Robinson contraption is not fit for purpose and more reminiscent of an old man having a p155, which is why it always seems to be dusty there 😷

Cook let’s down another team that’s not to be sniffed at

1 camera, 1 commentator speaking into a dodgy mic, shots of an empty track mid race and a quarter of the screen taken up by adverts. Even British Speedway can do better than this bare minimum coverage from the FIM!

Can anyone tell me how hard it really is to be a cameraman with speedway. Everyone in UK always missing the action and I’m watching one person on his own in front going round. Hope both are OK after that crash!

I said that. It was from an interview when he last rode for Poole before this season so 2023? It was on when it was called piratecast rather than 15 heats later podcast thingy. If you wanna win at Poole tell Mitch to stay at home with his virus and get a guest in. No good in asking Masters for advice either as he struggled the other week for Oxford. Prob cos the track was super bumpy that week but...🤷‍♀️

Harris will love the fact it’s almost air fence line already !

It’s one thing when people add free streams on here and they don’t really work sometimes but when you pay £15 you expect no issues really, well I do at least 😂

Working a bit better now been burnt this year by Scunthorpe stream could they no take the bits off the screen

70's racing was no better, nor worse than today's, for me.. What made it stand out was the crowd sizes thus, the atmosphere got created that made you return.. BV's Yorkshire rivals would bring a good few coaches with them ran by their supporters clubs, whiich had several thousand members, meaning an "electric atmosphere"... Almost 20 teams in the league meant there actually looked line something worth winning, and the vast majority of riders were yours and no one elses, (apart from young UK lads being allowed to double up for development, rather than due to a lack of riders, or tier two clubs wanting to use tier one riders at a reduced rate).. Teams rode on their best nights for attendances, and the admission costs took up a far lower percentage of your disposable income after your bills are paid, than it does today.. And Guests were the exception, rather than the rule... The Superstars were on TV most Saturdays, and also crossed over into mainstream non sporting programming... The top lads rode massive averages, making them "box office" particularly away from home when you may only got to see them once... Their averages often being down to them picking the best gates, bonus points being included, a "gimme" tac sub ride against the weakest second string and reserve, and less "head to heads" than today against the oppositions top two, and, usually, especially at home, just four rides.... It was though, overall, the size of crowds that brought the atmosphere and made it "an event"... The promoters of today though still have thousands of "lapsed fans" who still closely follow the sport, but see no reason to attend UK League Speedway... A huge opportunity should the promoters ever one day decide to get these thousands of fans re-engaged with their version of the sport...

Not ideal but I found connection 3 and player C works best for me. It’s slightly behind the others but it doesn’t stutter

Interesting hearing Adam Ellis interviewed at SGP qualifiers Glasgow and saying he wants to come back later this season and ride in UK 👀

Any one having problems with the stream

Just bought the tapes up TV after seeing it advertised on speedway GP Instagram story 👊🏻

The cost of the weekend as a whole became very expensive in fact people were just profiteering and I stopped - my old man and I used to go every year from about 2000-2006-7ish after a long gap we went one final time the year Woffy came 2nd can’t recall the year possibly 2016/17? the atmosphere was always great racing was so so!

I thought Scott had a decent match to be fair - a good win and some vital points!

With the exception of the meetings they'd previously lost, both teams entered this one unbeaten. Therefore, it was always going to be a tight affair. Good to pick up the win in the end. Watching heat 1, I thought to myself, "Richard Lawson doesn't run too many last places." Just then, he snuck inside Chris Harris to claim the 3rd place. With that in mind, come heat 15, I thought, "Richard Lawson doesn't run... no, I can't finish that sentence". A few seconds later, the clinching 5-1 was confirmed. There was mention on here earlier that Kyle Newman doesn't like sunny Armadale. All I can say is he's got a funny way of showing it. Quite honestly, he must be one of the most enjoyable and stylish visitors to watch. For a number of years, I would've happily welcomed him in a Monarchs team. Granted, it's highly unlikely to ever happen, given he lives down yonder but, hey, I can only but wish. Good to see William Cairns given his full name on the big screen (black mark for the programme though, which failed miserably throughout). Hopefully one day the impressive Mitchell Cluff's name will appear in full. I'm not buying into this Mitch nonsense. Roll on the second leg and another Monarchs victory...
