Rory must have done a track inspection

To be fair I think their is good argument for a minimum of 5 to be applied for all new foreign riders.

Thankyou for another great season of swedish speedway on freesports

What Rule Book?? It's all invented at the time as when suited....

What does it matter? If a load of Poles come along making it viable so that British fans can have a good day out watching the worlds top riders I'd call that a result

As I see it the reason is simple, our riders haven't been good enough away from the AFA. While it's great to have "Application, attitude and passion", does it have "far greater importance to the value of a riders impact for the team"? It will only get you so far imho. You could put a Championship side into the Prem, and they won't win anything with all the application, attitude and passion in the world..

Adonis is talking bullocks, but then, looking at his avatar of Yaxley_Lennon, what can you expect ?! Its a good read, and definitely not full of "I am better than everyone else" ! My advice would be buy it, see what you think, you can always sell it on Ebay, Gumtrre, etc....

Richard is the big loser here as will lose a nights wage, whichever way. if he has to ride for ippo then Eastbourne fans are the losers in not seeing their best rider over the season not being able to race the last home match of the season.

Good to see the ambition of the promotion, good luck to them I hope they succeed.

I went to Warsaw this year, had an really nice weekend. Meals and drinks were really reasonably priced, plenty of places to eat and drink. The most stressful part was buying the tickets.

The EOS league was split into conferences last year after a large percentage of the Scottish Junior football clubs decided to become full members of the SFA

If Thorsell brings his Swedish playoff form it's Swindon in the final for sure.

Well Swedish speedway isn't better at the moment. Lindgren and Lindbäck didn''t ride.

Game over... Every season there appears to be no point in going to watch Smederna till they reach the play offs..

Could you keep us updated when riders get announced please

One advantage (albeit small and minor) that Wolves have is that, I believe, there are no tactical substitutes in the play- offs. Jason Doyle will be the best rider on show, over the 2 legs, by a mile. So to limit him to 5 rides at Monmore will be good from a Wolves perspective.

Lack of vision through and through

If the forecast becomes reality would prefer if they called it early rather than get it on for the sake of it, like the Scunny meeting.

IT is true that the BSPA declined to be involved because of the cost of mounting such an untried indoor event in a stadium the size of the then Millennium. BSI was then part of the Benfield Greig group of re-insurers and were prepared to back JP. The rest is history.

Very brave too. Can the crowdsize comprehend the added costs? Only the promotion will know

Bold move as the status of the leagues above is largely unknown at present and feels like a last roll of the dice for the current promotion.

Speedway needs an independent body or panel with no ties to any club and the head someone with experience but no ties.

Sabmar TV only show on the internet through their you tube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/MisiuMen DMPJ is the teams junior competition run under the pairs 21 heat format but some teams have 4 named riders- most have 3.

He was guesting for Peterborough against Swindon when he scored 18 + 1.

That is where i believe the time may have come to just use riders now who want to commit to the UK and then run your club within your means.For me speedway is speedway, even a lower level sort of speedway can be entertaining i have experienced that.Ok you will miss the Doyle, Iversen ( ect) type and yes that is a massive loss and some will again say watering the product down again achieves nothing but for me something has to change.

Best wishes to Terry Russell for a successful and speedy recovery following his surgery. He wants to keep JD in the Robins team for next year as he is 'box-office' (quite right too!)and hopes the AGM doesn't diminish the standard yet again as its not necessary. He's also hopeful of an 8-team Premiership in 2020.

Excellent result by Smerderna last night, but nothing wn yet and we need score those required 37 points as fast as possible, so focus is the key factor tonight's meeting for a hat-trick of league titles.

I've only seen him at Redcar and he must have been rolling in every heat, because he always seems to enter first corner in lead!! Can't think of any other reason than rolling Whereas our rider Erik Riss also usually gets to the first bend ahead, but of course he is just a good gater and never rolls!!

IT probably did but there was no third party involved. The FIM determined which countries would stage a World Final and when. But like other motorcycle disciplines (Moto GP, etc) the commercial rights were later sold and the FIM banked the money.

Also Cardiff is a great advert for speedway and long may it continue but does all of British speedway gain financially out of the event??.Was British speedway properly compensated at the time when the WC swapped to the GP series system.!!!!

If I remember rightly, he pulled the wheelie crossing the finish line, in the lead, at the end off the race and fell just beyond the line. But we remember his time at Coventry for a lot more than that. A true professional and ambassador for the sport.

Having "someone who knows what they are doing" wouldn't of saved the Prem league and BT deal this season. He was the only one that put his hand in his pocket, and probably lost money. I'm not saying he is the right man for the job, He's set in his ways, that's for sure, but where would the Prem have been without him this season ? Gone maybe. Cabbage patch , well they go together with webbed feet around these parts

Weather permitting, I am hoping to be there. 'Mon the Tigers!

And the attendance could have been a lot better if more people had turned up

Attendance could have been quite a lot less... If a lot less people had turned up... Well I never

I cant recall any meeting this season , and I think I watch Cook race more than you , where Craig has received a ref warning for a starting offense. If Craig is guilty of rolling I'm sure at least one ref will have noticed since April .

This thread shows just how out of touch some members of this forum are. All they can do is moan, moan, moan. Every year you get the same folks whinging about the racing. Every year you get the same folks declaring how they don't go to Cardiff and most people they know don't.. Yet every year we get a crowd of nigh on 40,000 which no other stadium can even dream of obtaining, let alone having the capacity to do so.

Sorry got that wrong Jake Allen rides for Ipswich on Saturday not Scunny

Mmmm, I'm thinking more like a no sale if he doesn't lose money clause. I very much doubt there was ever going to be a sale,,, just uncle Buster agreeing to pay any debt that may occur

Gone way beyond that. No-one truly professional would take it on, having looked closely at it as a project.

20th October? They won't need water to prepare the track, they'll need a gritter.

It is however , better than any other toilet roll by far . It promises to show lesser toilet rolls the way to be the best at cleaning your arse . how to flush away more easily . but never actually does . best of all though , comes covered in loads of different patterns . thats why it's too expensive for the UK market , and only available in Poland ,

I thought it was interesting listening to Allen & Stead on the BT GP Coverage, particularly Stead who was voicing his opinion that riders should be more ambitious... At the risk of being controversial, wasn't it Stead that hid away in the lower leagues for a lot longer than he should have done taking the coin? Maybe more of a do as I say manager than do as I do. Anyway, I wish them all the best, GB will be nothing again until regular test matches are run, you can do all the skipping and ball catching you like, there's nothing like experience

A little early for the BSPA conference?

Jealousy really can make a man bitter.

Im all for promotion of emerging riders (be that youthful or otherwise) however ive always been in favour of being good enough rather than young enough. Protecting riders has done no favours in the past whilst the Aussies have no comfort blanket at all and it is a pure case of sink or swim. There will obviously be riders lost by the wayside who are either no strong enough on or off the track but those that are left will ultimately have made the grade.

Nick Morris rolling average is 5.32.....whats not attractive about that!?

Morris is not on an attractive average? A rider on nearly 2 points lower than when he left us. Unfortunately, riders have to be sacrificed next season through no fault of their own but Morris should be a rider that we want in the team. You could, and I haven’t even looked at averages, sacrifice Tobi and Razza for Morris and Bellego assuming JD still wants to ride in the league.

Tai's awesome if they give him the backing he would do the job and well, but they won't give him the backing it's the same old rubbish!
