Ludo scored 3+1 last time at Owlerton.....

It also said the Diamonds travel 'Tonight'

Dear <removed> I didn't realise that 'outing' someone was against forum rules!! All the best Steve

More of an impact on R/R, with only Robbo, Andy and the two reserves being able to take the ride.

What, and make things even worse for himself? Yeah, that'll help.

Plus a few fans, I would imagine. Still doesn't make it right (I realise you aren't saying that though!).

If you'd backed 45-45 you would have been wrong, as the final score was 43-43!

A great 'free' advert for speedway. Hopefully it will encourage some youngsters to try their hand at the sport (maybe some more Moto X's), who might not have necessarily done so, without seeing it for themselves.

I'd rather see Stuey (or anybody) trying his damndest to overtake somebody. If he (or anybody) settled for 3rd/2nd or whatever, you'd then get folk accusing him (or anyone else for that matter) of "not trying". Robbo will give his all to get as many points as he can, for himself and the team. Long may that continue.

You were perfectly clear. If they kept the white helmet and replaced the Yellow with Y/B and the Tac ride replaced the white helmet, you'd have B/W and Y/B in the same race (the point I was trying to make). Meanwhile, the b****y Tac ride is IN, so I'm afraid you've got to live with it. Green might be the answer.

Yes, but if Black and White replaced white, you'd have Yellow/Black and Black/White (which, as I say look similar under certain lights) in the same race.

I think this could go down to a last heat decider. It'll be that close.

Which looks like black & white under some lights

The German ref would surely have already put his beach towel down?

It's also repeated tonight at 6pm on ITV4

Alden has quit British Speedway apparently.

Mark Lemon doesn't seem to be doing too badly with Australia! Is it just a massive co-incidence that the Cricket team appear to be doing "not too badly" with the limited foriegners in the County sides rule, while the Speedway team and the Football team (with all the foriegners in the leagues) are doing "relatively crap"?

Apart from on the 25th July, obviously!

Reserve?????

Any TV coverage can only be a good thing. However small. The fact is some may be watching who won't neccesarily be speedway fans, see it on the prog and say "Hey, I fancy seeing that" and go along to their nearest track. As a certain supermarket says in their TV ad's "Every little helps." Oh, and one other thing, it's basically a FREE advert, as speedway probably hasn't had to pay a penny for the exposure.

Don't know how long he's been riding, but he's 11 years old.

Sheffield can't be any worse than last year..... can they??? Lawson usually does OK now he's got the hang of the place. Haines is usually OK too. Ricky Wells has been indifferent, from memory. Hally has never really liked the place, Albin was awful (!) last time he rode at Brough, Koppe could be anything and Royno had his best meeting he's had round our place last time he was here. Should be an easy home win, but 5+ points win would do! (Don't know why, but my Enter button isn't working on the Forum!!! So I can't break this down into paragraphs like I would normally do!!).

Richard Lawson guests for the Tigers.

I'd settle for a point tonight. We've never been that good around the EWR, but, you never know, we might just be in the mood to go there and win!

Advertising is all well and good, but costs (in the main) an awful lot of money. Something the sport hasn't got a lot of at the moment. Yes it might work, but is a hell of a gamble in the current climate (unless it's free, of course). The best form of advertisment is speedway on the Tele. When Sky started to broadcast the sport, it was supposed to be the saviour of the sport, with fans queueing for miles to get into their local tracks! It didn't happen. Putting something extra on at tracks, again, in the main, costs money. Again I refer you to the first paragraph. Yes, the sport is dying on its a**e, but the sport deoesn't help itself by not trying to keep the fans it has already got. Until the people 'in charge' actually start listening to the fans, it will continue to die, as it will lose more and more of its current fanbase and, obviously, not get the new numbers in to compensate, eventually dying altogether.
