  2. Doesn't Lawson not get on with Richie Worrall cos Worrall was having a go on Lawsons mrs or something like that when they were both at Glasgow? Good to see Steve Worrall get a wild card, feel like its injuries that have held him back some what . Am no fan of Ellis or his old man but those comments from Hawk are disgusting.

  6. Thankfully Berwick have gone back to the tried and tested successful way of running a team with at least three reserves in it. I suspect a march up the league starts on Friday at Glasgow.

  9. It is unfair having the BF at the NSS every year as the lightest riderx have a big advantage over the rest becssue it all about speed not track craft. They should have it around the country at different tracks instead.... You can only presume Leicester would be his choice, as that is the only track he can ride better than most it appears. His brother did a great job last night in conditions that you would usually think would have impacted him, given gating and doing well on slick tracks is his MO.. Maybe Steve has cut the carbs out for a fortnight...? Hope the meal was enjoyable, the racing in really testing conditions definitely was.. Not the names and level of rider that the flagship competition should have fighting for it, but those who accepted the call, did a superb job last night, and did the sport proud.. And some of those who had to pass up the chance to be the UK's No1, given the conditions, probably for the best, stayed away so the rest could get on with it... The way the sport is heading in this country, there could be a fair few more opportunities for riders to enjoy 3 course meals instead of racing in the not too distant future... Hope they enjoy them... Salads only on the menus though, obviously.....

  17. I put on the AEPG Peterborough Facebook the following: Could AEPG answer the following question please, " have AEPG discussed or agreed with Mr Keith Chapman to not support the Peterborough Speedway to run at the EoES for season 2024 in return for compensation / the purchase of the Speedway Club” Not had a response but not surprised by that.

  20. Great meeting all things considered when it was chucking it down at 7.25. Thought the track came into its own and wasn’t the gate and go a lot of people expected. Congrats to Dan on another title and to Stevie for getting the wildcard. Might shut the other worrall up for a bit. Even on a different track like the moaners are wishing, I can only imagine Dan would clean up again. His ability to just turn it on when he needs to is ridiculous. The pass on Brennan and then his first 2 corners in the final were just exquisite. Had a few concerns about the line up throughout the day but thought it was a decent enough field. Although I do think that other than the defending champ, there should be a qualification process so we get the truly best 16 riders GB has to offer at the time.

  21. Fair play to everyone for getting this meeting on, at 7.30 i didnt think there was a hope in hell it would go ahead Dan B a deserved winner, but made up Stevie got the wildcard for Cardiff,one of the sports nice guys

  22. Not just YOUR opinion. Vaculik should finish Top 6. Despite all the negative Nancies on here, Doyle has clearly proven himself one of the top boys still, and I would be surprised if he didn't finish Top 6. Likewise, I'm convinced that Holder would have finished Top 6 were it not for his injury, so there's another automatic choice.

  24. All-in-all a more than decent meeting. Congratulations to all 17 riders who rode and gave it everything. Well done too to the track staff and everyone involved in organising a good meeting against the odds on a track that was not just rideable, but raceable too. All the moaners with their "should have called it off" and "it's a disgrace of a line-up" were made to look silly. 16 fully-committed riders... brilliant. Not always been a fan of Ben Barker (e.g. I wouldn't buy anything off his ebay shop) but I had to smile at his interview on the track mic "I'm always proud to pull on a Union Jack race jacket, and I will always want to ride in the British Final... even though I'm fat". Nice to see Richie Worrall in the Peter Craven suite tucking into his cheesecake. The three-course meal was a better choice than riding in the meeting. After all, how could Richie be expected to compete against the top three - The six-stone Dan Bewley, the five-stone Ben Barker, and that guy in second place who is definitely not the same height, weight, size and shape as Richie Worrall? Wonder if Richie's meal was a spare that was left over when the BSPL Chairman couldn't be arsed turning up for the meeting?

  26. This is a potential banana skin for Poole. Over confident after a super heat away win at Redcar. Bears on a good run which is likely to be extended at Plymouth on Tuesday evening. Worrall’s focus now elsewhere. Thompson an unknown at number 7. An away win wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.

  27. You're needlessly slagging off his son. That makes it his business. Adam may not be your favorite rider but you are being incredibly unpleasant about it. The man already won this title once. Show some respect.

  28. I'm a massive fan of Simon Lambert what he lacks (possibly) in talent he more than makes up for in attitude, effort and commitment... there's a lot of Speedway riders (even some of the big time Charlie's) that could learn a thing or two from him!

  40. Funny how they go on about Barker's race inferring he did something untoward, but for me her was indulging in some proper hard racing Has Scottie just said after the presentation 'he didn't really do anything he shouldn't!! Exactly!!!

  43. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Nicolai.Was the shining light in the last couple of months for Lynn,whilst the team were really struggling he scored really well,probably more than many of us imagined really.This will obviously be a long while on the sidelines but hopefully he will get fit and comeback stronger. The curse of Kings Lynn really had some big injuries this year,as well as the other ongoing things which have happened.A year to forget that's for sure.
