  1. Will Eurosport be able to cope with RR tonight and do we expect them to have tactical substitutes- even though they are not in use in the play-offs !

  2. I think you will find Leicester were top.... That's why they are riding against the fourth placed team...

  3. Are you really a Glasgow fan. Tigers fans in general like to see riders trying. They realise not every rider can score a maximum. One thing Leon can't be accused of is not trying. He hasn't always been quick enough or picked the right lines on the track BUT he tries and contributes to the team's overall performance. Last night he tried his guts out once again and in Heat 15 he crucially held back Boughen thus meaning Bomber only had Masters to worry about. He started the season with a 6.40 Green Sheet average achieved at a track where he had ridden for a good few years. He has moved to a different type of track and he achieved a modest increase to 6.82. He is clearly disappointed that he didn't do better but it would be madness to replace him now that his efforts are being rewarded with more points.

  11. Think he is at the wind-up and has plenty of bites. If Bomber is not back at Glasgow I will be amazed, he has stated that he wants a return.

  17. That's Ipswich done for. Only 1 person to blame and his name is Emil Sayfutdinov! If he was riding, Ipswich would have had a 12-14 point lead.

  23. On holiday in Cornwall at the moment for the first time in 20 years or so, and drove through the china clay 'hills' at Nanpean today where Tralawny used to race. Saw Chris there back then, exciting and giving his all as a youngster, he's a fantastic advert for British speedway, still riding at such a high level today.

  25. Having guests “booked” is completely irrelevant. Means absolutely nothing. Sheffield had Joe Thompson booked for the cup final but then Gilkes declared himself fit and resumed his place in the side.

  31. Bomber wants a club that is professional in its operation and a track that can show case his riding style, Glasgow/Ashfield tick those boxes.

  32. I was hearing mid season that we already had an agreement for him coming back next year. We’ll find out in time, I guess.

  34. I have had many insults over the years, but that one hurt. When the Labour Party effectively began the Green Belt in 1947 it was an attempt to make sure that the slums built by the Victorian factory owners would never be built again and tried to make sure that the workers would have worthwhile areas to live in. Anyone who listened to the proceedings of the Grenfell Tower enquiry and the new Government responses to the sort of repeats of the rip-off builders would realise that this government will not allow rip-off bojit and floggit developers and builders to repeat the minimum cost slums of the Victorians that destroyed the infrastructure of the country making big fortunes doing it. The new planning rules are going to be designed to try to move the new housing developments to be built where the locals want them and want them to be well designed to be worthwhile places to live - Local Plans are also to be strengthened. So I found a copy and studied the new labour Government 2024 version of the NPPF that is presently out for consultation. Guess what - even if the new modified 2024 document is accepted without any changes it will be too late to affect these two slum development proposals and the paragraphs I quoted from the Heritage section of the old Conservative document are not up for change anyway. Speedway has always been the epitome of working class sport and having a long lived heritage track within the local housing would be music to the ears of the 1945 Atlee Labour Government, so we should still fight this slum development and try reading the proper facts rather than rely on horrendously biassed dying newspapers.

  35. I tend to agree with that, I thinks it’s 50/50 at the moment. The positive is that if he does ride in the uk it will be at Ipswich. I think it will come down to what works best for Emil & his family be that here or Sweden. He seems to want to ride more than just Poland & it appears Torún are happy with that but who knows. No matter what happens the guy has cemented his place as an Ipswich legend he is just class on & off the track.

  36. The rising star scheme hasn't really been a success and hasn't really been fit for purpose at all for a couple of seasons Only Brennan has progressed out of the scheme and is still in a side Others moving out have already been jettisoned The fact that the Championship dropped it even though that's the natural start point is more pertinent

  38. I am sure this isn’t coming across that well on Tv but the racing is fairly close - the Witches are gating better - passing is harder unless you are Emil or Jason at Foxhall! Leicester seem half asleep at the starts just like the Witches were the last time they met here a few weeks back!

  43. Likewise but very tiresome to have to keep objecting on the same basis just because the they've re-arranged the furniture within the application but nothing which fundamentally changes it - why can't they continue to count the previous objections.......

  44. Not his best season but he'd keep on trying to move forward and improve as a rider. When asked about coming back, replied do the fans want me back.

  46. I could be wrong but Sheffield wanted to use him in the Cup final before they realised they couldn’t use him so they probably booked him for Woffinden in the play offs a while ago whilst Ipswich were still hopeful of using Lindgren.

  47. Would be funny if it weren't true! There's a lot of stuff I can put up with as far as Speedway is concerned, guests and all that but when you start to get into fixture rigging at the end of a 5 month season, I personally draw a line there.
