  1. They used r/r,they could have used a rising star but only up to 3 ⭐️
  2. The track was seemingly based on Mildenhall size,not sure ther was big Home advantage,we had some pretty decent Teams in were time there.Good very good racing IMO.I do feel it was an error not to make the track a little bigger considering the land available 10 metres on the straight length would have made a big difference.IMO.Great Days!!
  3. I’m assuming the search for a bit land for a new site came to nothing?
  4. Sad day for Diamonds fans,but think we will find that there are a few Teams “ living on the edge”,in the present climate.
  5. I would reckon the Top Flight level would have to be equivalent to this years Championship level though.
  6. Leon certainly doing the business since moving into Team.Well Done.
  7. It certainly beats what we watch at Shielfield hands down.
  8. Think that has always been a major factor with juniors and young riders.Thought the likes of Stead and Co would give the info.Another point you make that is really valid is track prep all the years I have watched speedway the second half riders only have had slick tracks to race on and generally learn nothing,years ago when there was more dirt on the track if they ever got into the Team in a Reserve Position they were out in Ht2 and usually got into all sorts of trouble as there was dirt on the track which they had seldom encountered.Like you say track prep should’ve the same as league meetings,it’s the only way they will learn(the hard way).The Poles have recognised Trainers for all their youngsters, which would take the pressure of parents like yourself.We talk a good story, but do we deliver!! Best of luck to your son,tell him just to enjoy it and it will happen.
  9. Thought I seen it somewhere as 26th Sept.( could be wrong though)
  10. We’re talking Christina Turnbull here ,so you will never know with her.
  11. That’s what I’m saying.Unfair riding or not the Ref deemed him the cause.
  12. The sensible thing is Poole get a walk over.This-is Speedway though .
  13. The Ref obviously ( rightly or wrong)did not see it as 1st bend bunching and ex Keleher as cause of stoppage.
  14. Clearly very talented throughout his career,but Professionalism and Equipment clearly lacking throughout.
  15. I believe Edinburgh have done OK out of it,but that is because they do it all themselves and don’t use outside Company’s
  16. Being a “big fish in a small pond”in UK means nothing in terms of anywhere near being World Class.In any Sport only a tiny amount of competitors reach the TOP in World Terms. Polish Speedway is the dominant force in Speedway in , Sponsership,Organisation,Promoting and crowd levels. They have set rules which are relatively simple and reviewed at the end of most seasons. They implement changes if they think help the sport in their Country. They come down heavy on Teams that don’t comply ,even to the extent of track prep. Here in UK it’s all about self interest,a rule book that is all about interpretation. The sport in decline in UK,we just have to accept that fact Any young Talent with real ambition in World Terms has to be riding on the Continent .Breaking through there is difficult ball game for any of them as can be seen when the ride abroad just now at Age Group Levels. UK is now where journeyman riders pick up and top up their wages,that doesn’t mean we cannot see decent matches and entertainment,but we need to attract people to watch in decent numbers.
  17. Total Crap GP.Points scoring system is not working for me,riders are just riding to get to semi’s and taking their chance.You can predict 6off the 8 semi finalists most GPS.Every point should count with just a couple extra for semi’s and final.Smarzlik must be laughing his head off with this Formula.
