  1. Breaking News Rider reacts when he lost a race......!!! Thirsty rider goes in search of a drink . Team manager seen getting into a car.

  2. What I was suggesting that it is easier too win if you make the gate at Poole than it is at Ashfield as even Worrell has found out.Good riders can pass for fun At Glasgow as has been witnessed over the last few seasons.

  3. Eurosport absolutely pish poor. Hate the friggin channel. Speedway always set to serial link but you can never trust it. As I was out tonight I checked my phone and what a surprise the serial link wasn’t set to record. Therefore set to record again and also, as always the programme after for meetings overrunning. Get home 11pm, avoided result (not too difficult with Speedway). Recorded 53 mins of nothing. Eurosport = F’ing useless.

  4. I bet the GP sponsors... And the riders individual sponsors.. Are delighted to see their investment, and brand, getting seen by a lot less people than they would have expected when they laid out the not inconsiderable sums they do..

  5. Great day at Workington, we got beat but got more points than I thought, although we were lucky with a few of them , well done Comets, a team to watch this season for sure, you do have my fave as your number 1, as for the tiggers, I think this is a year to enjoy the racing. I have followed them a long time and remember the days when we celebrated getting 30 away from home

  6. I’m fine with it , best team by a small margin won on the night it’s that simple. Sometimes Cami should take a few days to decide what he’s saying rather than say the first thing that enters his head. His soundbites are getting tiresome.

  7. Criticism of certain Tigers to one side, that Workington side looks like it could do some damage this season. Zischke at number two is a secret weapon. He was outstanding on Saturday; he had pace, skill and with a bit more elbow, could easily have taken second from Worrall in heat six. You could see he was disappointed not to after the race. Vuolas and Vissing in the middle look like a pairing with lots of potential too. Like Zischke, they’re all-action. I don’t watch them often enough, but if that’s typical of their reserves’ input, then it’s that section of the team that’ll cost them this season. Having said that, they weren’t a million miles off and gave every single heat a good go. Also, great to see Craig Cook back to his old self. Sadly, it was against us, but British Speedway and the Championship in particular is a greater spectacle with Cook in it and flying.

  8. I think you need to look deeper into why kings lynn are struggling to attract enough fans. do you remember Brian Havelock running Redcar ? He had poor teams year on year with the same riders and apathy towards the fans. Crowds dropped further and further each year. Interesting enough though the club always made a profit. then a new promotion with enthusiasm invested into the team and engaged with the fans. crowds returned to see good entertaining racing on a well prepared track. look how the Courtney’s run Berwick and Oxford. They too engage with the fans. Buster is tired and fed up and it shows. It’s minimal effort and open the turnstiles and it’s a take it or leave it attitude and a complete contempt of his customers. all lynns troubles are from the top and the owner.

  11. missed it live i was taking my nephews band to a gig in Leeds the royal park pub, ill give his band a mention they are called Cesare of cymatics , anyway didn't get to watch till 1 am this morning, very entertaining meeting lots of passing and a bit as usual controversy, but some people still want to winge about it. Doyle was excellent deserved his win, and huckenbeck just unlucky, not to be able to get back in rerun.

  12. Ditched sky and Eurosport (via the sky box) some time ago now pay just 6.99 a month for discovery+ - well worth it and you have a back archive of recent speedway to rewatch if you want to! well done JD!

  13. Must be on a wind up. Thought the racing was very good on one of the better temporary tracks. Woffinden may as well pack it in. Not interested if anyone gets close Bewley the same, but his track craft is diabolical as well.
    3 points
  14. As honest as Woffy's interview was he didn't really address the elephant in the room, he clearly backed out of a few moves tonight like he had done for the last few years, the difference tonight was that he had the speed that if he'd made those moves he would have easily qualified for the semis. The thing is the level has moved up another notch since Woffy last won his titles, riders are riding more extreme, Doyle, Holder, Zmarzlik, Lindgren... they'll just make the move and leave the opposition to deal with it and to be fair, Woffy has never been that kind of rider. At least he's not shooting his mouth off so much these days so he's a little more palatable. And I'm afraid that Bewley is pretty much in that same mold, and who can blame them after the injuries they've had. Lambert has the best chance of joining that top table for me, he's a hard rider but isn't making those extreme moves... yet. Great night for Doyley, best he's been since 2016/17. And a pretty decent GP all in all.

  15. Speedway isn’t a safe sport. Would you say Zmarslik bombing into corners is safe ? or is it a sign that he has an edge and that’s why he’s nigh on unbeatable in this modern age.
    3 points
  16. Doyle has a hunger that when fit he still feels like he’s 18. Say what you want about him but to suffer the injuries he’s had and still be on top of his game at this stage of his career is a massive achievement that people overlook.

  18. So in the UK we have to pay to watch t v and the beneficiary is the gay black left wing BBC (you only have to have seen Eurovision or any awards ceremony and the WASP is no longer represented, the BBC is bending over backwards to pacify) and no one has any choice about paying for a service you do not want or watch. In terms of viewing, to see anything else you have to pay even more be it Sky or a streaming service and even then if you have a particular service such as Sky and you want to watch the content such as live speedway you pay a further fee because the broadcaster wants to screw the punter with further charges yet you can watch some crap on Eurosport for free and have speedway dumped despite it being advertised as a programme. Who sold the sport down the line and decided to screw those who want to watch international speedway without pay more than once for the opportunity, was it the FIM or the sponsors of the GP? Whoever it was the punter is being taken for a ride.

  24. It was televised, in full, with no ad breaks and multiple commentary (or not) options and also on demand after the event on a channel owned by WBD. The option is there for you to watch it, just requires a £7 monthly outlay with premiership action also included, I would suggest this represents far better value than Sky / BT subscriptions in the past.

  25. Wouldn't you think that some clever person would think that there's a 5 week gap in home fixtures so that might be a good time to put shows,carnivals,car rallies on in the car park instead of causing total chaos arranging them when the speedway is on.Or alternatively don't arrange speedway meetings when all that other rubbish is on

  27. I guess you learn about people's character when things go wrong / they are losing, rather when they are winning. Glasgow are used to always being near the top, so perhaps they've forgotten how to take losing with dignity?

  28. For Discovery+ at £6.99 you get a lot for your money. Its worth it just for the speedway GPs, but a load other sports like World Superbikes, plenty cyclocross, mountain biking, winter sports, then loads of films, dramas, series. So excellent value for money. Speedway GP enjoyable, track held up very well, I wonder if the open roof made this possible. Be interesting if Cardiff has an open roof. Doyle a very worthy winner. Jack recovered very well from his poor start. Huckenbek sadly missed out a possible final. Woffy started out like he was back in the running, but fizzled out when the going got tough. Dan getting into a pattern….. hit the front and he can race away (but not always) and when he’s behind he can’t or doesn’t want to mix it. Lambert showing he can mix it.

  29. Another good night for Dan. One to watch in the years to come I think, has every chance and certainly heading in the right direction. Easy to forget he’s just turned 20 only a couple of weeks ago as well. Bet a few clubs will be kicking themselves for not picking him up during the winter on 4.86! Fair play to Plymouth for pulling the trigger.

Unless garrity is going to say to folk he took the rap for someone else I can’t see how explaining to people is going to help, I mean how do explain something like that and expect anybody to think oh because you have explained it makes it ok, surely the best course is get your head down, say nothing , work hard to get your career back on track and prove to people you have learnt and you are now a good person

  39. Should be of no surprise if he has already implied that type of threat in the belief that UK speedway cannot do without him. However, in todays climate and profile of speedway promoters and officials, it most certainly can. So if Chapman does want to take his bat and ball home so be it. Put simply, one person is nowhere near being bigger than the sport and as such Chapman cannot be allowed to hold any part of it to ransom.

  40. Here here. I’ve tried to refrain from commenting on this thread for some time but the utter disrespect and disregard honestly makes me sick, more so after his second post. The blame game of others and arrogance around some of his wording like “that’s impressive” - There is nothing impressive when it comes to recording young boys/girls on beaches and people in toilets. The sheer arrogance to come waltzing back into this forum shows he is deluded. I have a child and this sort of offence and anything of the like, is what I see to be the worst of the VERY worst. I would go to the end of the world to protect my son from people like that, contaminating our earth.

  41. SCB, Nah I’m not buying it I’m afraid. If the deflection you are now trying about your second offence was remotely true there would have been grounds for an appeal or at very least a case for an incompetent solicitor to answer by not having the case thrown out by stating the offences took place while you were supposedly in prison. But that’s just relating to your second offence I think you believe you are trying to be sincere and maybe I’m misjudging that but I don’t buy it. I wonder if you have ever really seen the effect on victims of child abuse? I have, including my own nephew who was abused at 14. His life since has consisted of 5 serious suicide attempts, drug addition, alcohol addiction and a complete disregard for his own safety as the trauma still jumps up and tells him he is worthless. We still dread late night calls in case it’s another call advising he is in hospital after self harm more than 20 years after he was abused. That is the effect YOU have had on even younger children. Their lives have changed forever. Whether you did it, watched it or just viewed the photos you are part of what was done to kids like my nephew and his family who saw a caring 14 year old boy who volunteered in the local hospital have his life changed overnight to satisfy the needs and voyeurism of adults who should know better I genuinely hope your urges can be held at bay for the sake of children, but you will forgive me for saying there is not a hope in hell I can come to terms with what you have been part of or for what you have ‘been through’

  47. Good meeting and a decent crowd including many Tigers fans . Batch looking very classy today , and some tough races when Bomber was involved with some very close finishes on the line. Cookie missed out on another big score with belt failure when well ahead also Comets on a 5-1 when the race was stopped due to a collision the the restart resulted in a 3-3 but that’s Speedway.

  49. Are you Laguta Racing Fan in disguise or summit, makes me wonder with all the nonsense you keep shouting, Chapman only has himself to blame by thinking he's bigger than the sport and keep postponing meetings when it suits him, whether it's make believe rain, rider availablity or a broken pit gate
