I agree regarding your summery of Speedway in UK.Realisation is finally dawning regarding the financial side of the sport.

The problem with Doyle turning left early was that Nicki was virtually 3/4 way past him ,he was not in front of Nicki.

Your not even at the right meeting!!!!!

It is up there with the best in the UK .IMO

Jonsson I think squeezed past and turned sharp left like you said.Lucky like you say

Terrible decision Nicki did nothing wrong IMO.Doyle was passed by Nicki and then turned into him,he should have shut off.

Tell the Ediburgh Wages Clerk that one!!!

Agree

That is good point,as with the Gp's you see the same pattern on a lot of tracks too much track grading these days.Imo

I think you could be wrong in saying never,I can't remember tactical substitutes in the 60's.Some one might be able to tell when they were first introduced I'm sure.

Looks like it still a struggle for you.

Most social media sites show that nowadays,not just speedway,you just have to take them with "pinch of salt" or ignore them IMO.

Bit OTT regarding Josh these things happen in the sport certainly has no reason to ponder his future IMO .Speedy recovery to Kyle.

it's all very well having fancy Stadiums,but let's face most of the tracks in these Stadiums are crap and don't let the riders show their skills to the full extent,there was no way you could race down the straight fairly last night,there was not enough room.Fans a paying a lot of money for a seat In a fancy stadium.

Thought so ,has been Tarmac for along time.40years?

The track is Tarmac now is it not.

Agree but these situations are not uncommon in Gp's.He looked fast though just got caught in wrong position in final re-run.

they were both in winning positions when they messed up on there own don't think that qualifys for best riders on the night.They rode well though.Zager was a touch unlucky IMO

They always seem to exclude the inside pass in these situations I agree with you on this one Kildemand goes down very easily.He is an entertainer rider though and is always good on slick tracke that suit his style.Tai took it well probably because of the situation on the night more than anything.

Fans are fed up with it now though, perhaps time for a rethink

I think that's why most fans think the sport should be run by an Independant Body,but can't see t hat happening any time soon.Your point regarding Hobbyist promoters coming in and throwing money at the sport raising the costs is a good point IMO .

The Monarchs look vulnerable at reserve and R/r does not work as well when you rely on your top 5.

Is there that much to investigate? It would probably unveil the Promotions are paying out more money than they gathering in.One thing for sure you won't get any running costs or riders pay deals from any Promotion just the fact that they are losing money!

I reckon if they can get Nick and Kauko back before Play -offs that will be a handy side and take some beating.

Has speedway journalism really got anything to do with the state the sport is in.!!! The letters page was the forum before social media began, that was about it.
