The fixture list planning this season is absolute bonkers,a primary school kid must have been involved.

Thats pathetic,Peterborough should be fined for understrenghted team,this sport is a total joke nowadays ,

Lawson is just a gating tart,that's what I was saying ,proved right.Wright is one of the most improved riders in recent seasons and is a racer espiecially round Oak Tree.

Should have been Wright in Ht 15, Lawson not your man when the going gets tough and he is outgated,couldn't pass wind.IMO.

With his "box of electronics"

Think "son of God" is proving a bit frustrating for Tigers recently away from home.

Think when matches are abandoned due to unsafe track which had been not up standard from start of meeting and nothing to do which weather on night,fans should get Full refund.

Might get a ban if he refused to ride.Interesting what the Final line- up on the night will be.

Reports regarding crowd numbers is rather depressing ,I really like the racing at Workington on my visits sad to see it not being supported better,but I think we all know the state the sport is in.Hopefully they will be around next season.

That doesn't happen nowadays !(very often)

You could probably take a zero of the end of the transfer figure.!

Same scenario at Armadale,riders just can't adapt even though they have been coming for years.

Ive seen a few "alleged" assaults at meetings over the years that have come to nothing.Thats speedway.( I'm not a Cook fan)

Looks like it was just an " alleged" assault.

You would get good odds on Cook being at Workington in 2018,

British contracts have to be stronger,if they want to ride abroad fair enough but don't let them top up their wages here,they are not that important.

Admittedly fans are not experts on track, but the sport is dirt track racing and it is bewildering nowadays all the reasons that riders come up with regarding track conditions ,we have seen them all over a number of years,rough ,smooth,dusty,wet,rain.There is a new condition now,PERFECT. In all other types of Bikesport and Motersport the competitors take the conditions into consideration and perform according to said conditions.Thats the problem with Speedway they want to go home mainly because they know the fixture will be re-run so no loss of income.Perhaps if results were awarded if the did not want to ride and they got a nominal payment for turning up attitudes would change or alternatively a 9-5 job and stop wasting fans time.

Was really good when I saw him at Sheffield the week of Cardiff GP.,but seems to be inconsistent .

Give the Team manager a bit of leeway and thinking.I don't know all the rules but it certainly keeps it interesting.Like has been mention it gives the crowd a buzz when the " lesser rider " beats the tactical.

Thanks I did not know the rules ,but it certainly seemed better,and even in the Tac rides the sub got beat except for Lindgren who was superb.

If this was NL match they probably would not have even graded the track,the riders would just have got on with it.Its only when you think you are superstar and earning big money that speedway becomes a dangerous sport.There are a lot of riders that need to find a 9-5 job.Every supporter has witnessed riders standing about complaining at least once a season at their track and wondered why they bother turning up.Its a shambles nowadays, the refs are scared to overrule the riders in case they end up in court.

Watching the Swedish play off from last night their rules regarding Tacticals seems very good Dackarna used 3 and it wS a close result but none of this double points nonsense. Janowski & Dudek only got 3rd places though in their rides.

Don't know why fans bother at times sounds like riders rule again,I will say it again as I have said many times ,if this was an Open meeting the would potter round in case they were going. To lose the money on offer .The throttle works both ways!!

Agree,notice in Poland the ref excluded rider even though other rider didn't fall.Imo Smolinski was a little late with his move and gave Pawlicki nowhere to go and the ref got it right,but there are some pretty hard moves going on in GP's these days.Silly comment to ale though.

I agree, the tuners know which bits to use,it's the riders getting the set up right for the conditions on the night.On saying that, it's obvious that PJR has been trumped recently .Gravensen is favour of the month.
