  1. People who think speedway should just be about opening the throttle are clueless Monmore is different and requires a different skill set …. Bewley looks fast but is not riding the right lines but his natural ability gets him there There has been lots of close racing and plenty of overtaking and not just from mistakes Those who constantly slate Wolves track are just clowns who would rather we had no speedway I guess Ive seen dull meetings at all tracks it happens Then we have people slagging off the presentation…. It’s not the best but it’s better than no speedway and I think Scott is superb … Abbie is fine and I just think Kelvin is a bit lost on his own but that shows how good Pearson actually was Call yourself speedway fans and all you do is moan

  5. Not sure why you are being so defensive. Getting passed easily would be a symptom of not being good enough would it not? Every race we saw on Eurosport showed P'boro riders busting a gut to either stay in front or try and pass the rider in front if them. Its insulting to professional sportsmen to say that they dont care, aren't trying hard enough or don't have the balls for the fight. And that's my opinion thanks

  6. I have sympathy with the Longtrack thing it's a completely different sport IMO and he shouldn't be missing speedway fixtures for that, nor should any kind of facility be granted. The problem with today is that teams can rearrange meetings willy nilly because guests are handed out like confetti, if it was R/R or a junior then I suspect they wouldn't have accepted the booking. Chris Harris is and aways was racing in Germany or wherever today, as with the majority of speedway's issues the problem lies with the system and the governance of the sport. It all needs tightening up massively.

  7. I’m hearing they approached Garrity to see the season out at Armadale. He in turn approached the parole board to put him back inside. Just confirming that he will do anything to avoid Edinburgh.

  8. Why don't the moaners on here just do one! We know what you think, doesn't matter how many times you say it. You need to use riding skill and brains to do well here, a totally different challenge to an easy to ride polish track. Could go either way this. Happy to have it on TV, don't care if the presenters make mistakes.

  9. Even if you don't make the playoffs, it's surely a better side now - which is progress isn't it? Just watch Laguta and enjoy it if nothing else.

  10. Why does have to be not caring or lack of guts? Perhaps they just aren't good enough. From the clips on Eurosport there appears to be no lack of effort and determination. Just Leicester are better.

  11. The one rider who has shown loyalty in spades to British speedway despite being shat on from a great height at times, and you call him deluded for chasing a dream to be the best he can whilst trying to earn a living? I know who's deluded...

  12. That's how to go about your business. No Billy Big spuds promises, just quietly getting things done. Well done to Alex and all concerned Now lets hope for a decent crowd on Thursday..

  16. Gate one for Masters in heats 13 & 15 proved crucial. I'll never be a huge fan of Monmore Green but it was very watchable tonight. Two good contests across the day by the sound of it

  21. I don’t know why Rob Godfrey gets a bad press Scunny made two changes to the side , the rider they brought in scored 5 pts iN 5 meetings so he made another change and I’ll guarantee the other 8 promoters in the league would have done exactly the same

  23. I posted on the Updates about bringing in a Handicap format for re-run's. The guy that was leading starts at the tapes. Person in 2nd starts 5 metres back, guy in 3rd 10 metres back. I always find it very harsh especially when a team is on a 5-1 that someone stays down. Could work well in the GP's also for example in the last one when Jack Holder basically had it in the bag before race was stopped.

  24. Both Hagon (1st) and Ablitt grew up at Eastbourne, such as sad loss to the sport as the club has produced many England internationals over years..

  25. I’d be surprised if Garritty was out yet. He was arrested in April 2020 sentenced to 7 and a half years in October 2020. Assuming he was remanded in custody in the April and his sentence is deemed to start from arrest rather than conviction, the best he can hope for is a release after serving half his sentence, so that would be 3 years and 9 months which would take us to January next year. In view of his crimes, I would hope that his licence has been permanently revoked

  38. A glorious Bank Holiday Monday (in Manchester at least) and only 3 matches on in the UK today! Why the hell aren't Championship clubs running some open meetings to boost their coffers?

  40. Plymouth's track couldn't be any easier to get to, great little set up. I'd recommend the front row of the back straight, you can basically reach out and touch the riders, one of the best views in British speedway.

  42. As a Newport fan, I can remember going to 3 meetings in one day on Whit Monday 1976, Reading v Hackney in the morning then onto White City v Hull in the afternoon then Wimbledon for the Internationale in the evening. None of those tracks exist now sadly.

  43. This meeting was only arranged six days ago so you can hardly blame Harris for being elsewhere. Whether he should be in the qualifier or not is up for debate but if he was asked/qualified then you can't blame him for accepting. Good for him that he's still ambitious in the twighlight of his career. I expect he has his eye on the SWC and why shouldn't he?

  44. Because they are away so their crowd won't be impacted? And/Or, because the league doesn't really matter anyway so just have any septet there representing you..? UK Speedway should be in the dictionary as the perfect definition of irony.. It only "doesn't really matter anyway" due to things like this being allowed to happen, which means that it then "doesn't really matter anyway"...

  47. VERY VERY different crimes. Even if he was available, I would be surprised if anyone wanted to see Garrity back after what he did.

  48. I might be able to solve this confusion, as I was also told a couple of weeks ago by a couple of people that Jason Garrity had been phoning round for a team place. As I knew it wasn't possible because of where Garrity is currently residing, I asked some questions. I was told that he was offering to make himself available to a couple of National League teams, which couldn't be right... after a few further questions, it turned out that the person interested in a team place was actually JASON GARROD!
