Always has been their way out of trouble,trouble is there is a big injury list these days and still growing.

Regarding riders availability Poland and Sweden pretty much rap up this weekend do they not?

The way things are going it might not be that"fake".its hard to see the fixtures getting complete in time unless they run them all in the last week.

I like Jye improving all the time and has a good season for Berwick,but if he thinks TJ was hard on him he really needs to look athe videos of his moves coming out of the 2nd bend at Berwick during the season.Pot,Kettle and Black spring to mind.

It's typical BSPA,"I'm alright Jack".

Agree,but typical Speedway Promotions the fans are just mushrooms.Only if the need cash will they announce anything.

Is he injured? Or was he injured,he just packed for Ipswich.!

You would have to ask Jye because there was nothing to obvious just abit of hard but fair riding from an opponent,when you see Jye 1st bend move on Riss it was just as hard but Riss got round him.Heat of the moment stuff.Mechanics and hangers on cause most of the problems these days,they need a ban IMO

But maybe not in the averages,remember they can ride in any order apart from No1 and reserves.

last resort slick track didn't pay off for Aces.

Etheridge side kicks are out of order,it looks like Aaron Summers to me could be wrong though,like Kelvin says if the riders have a beef let them sort it out not the hangers on.

Etheridge is doing good job IMO .

While I am not a fan of guests and it has got Totaly out of hand,I don't see why you can't have one for any team member that is injured up to their average.Especially when you can have one for you highest average reserve.

2 in GB should be on the cards B.V has to be viable when you see some of the venues,although don't know who pays and how much to hold a Gp

I think we are in for a serious downgrading of he Sport if the Premier can persuade 2-3 Teams to move up like they did in the early nineties.The BSPA are only interested in sport at what they conceive as the highest level,the rest are left to sort themselves out. There can't be many clubs making money out the sport,it's only Sponsers and people with Money to lose that are keeping most Clubs afloat,and that can't go on for ever IMO. Personaly don't think crowds of around 400- 500 can possibly be viable these days,with the money that we hear the riders demand,but perhaps it's only rumours what the riders get paid and they are doing it for their love to the sport and entertaining the fans.

Watching Madsen to day makes you think he would be a top 8 candidate if he were riding in it.Possibly could nick a win in one.

If watching on Tv the main action is focussed on the leaders,if you attend you see a whole lot more exciting racing all down the field ,plus you get 4/5 hours entertainment for your money,a day at the British Super bikes is well worth the money. Think most fans will agree BV is the exception to the rule these days,great racing most weeks.

Let's face it its just a total farce and a shambles,the clubs still involved will probably finish up trying to cram their fixtures into a week with off nights and fans not being able to afford the money or the time to support their team away,given the North / South divide in the Semi's I wouldn't bank on a huge turn out for a NvS final in the last week in October on a cold damp night!. Still the weather might surprise us.Only in speedway.

Agree,but if that happens and there are 3 leagues can see the Premier being watered down farther.IMO if the Premier is going to be watered downI think 1 big league with North/ South split with Play-Off's to decide Overall Champs would be the way to go financially for the Clubs. We shall see.

Did Workington not want to ride on a Friday this year?

The sport is not going to recover given the level it has been allowed to drop too.A lot of riders will be working 9-5 shortly.They have only themselves to blame.Still we await the Annual Master Plan that comes out every year.Really can't believe the total shambles the sport has dropped too.

In the final of a National Comp can you get any thing more ridiculous than Jack Smith guesting for Drew Kemp who is riding for the other Team,and they wonder why people don't take the sport seriously.Joke.

Very difficult to defend a lead on this track as the opposition can take that many different lines,Superb racing.

Agree,the first few heats are always worse on well prepared track ,then it comes into its own.Natural water in previous day's always helps(just hope it doesn't rain on day).

Great race, what a race track NSS is,and whoever prepares it seems to know what they are doing.Lots of grip all over track and evenly spread.It must be this special shale that all the other promoters and track men are unable to find ,when they make their excuses.
