Unfortunately, British Speedway is in a position to only accept this kind of nonsense.

Peterborough at King's Lynn or Leicester would be shut down mid season. The losses would be astronomical. To do that, Peterborough would have to be at NDL level. A completely delusional idea

Nobody can stop Ged buying the club. The BSPL only have the right to withhold a promoters licence. He'd likely get @NeilWatson back on board as promoter (if he wants to of course)

It looks to me like Leicester DON'T want top 4 if they're releasing Lawson too. It's already quite a drop off with the changes made imo. Worrall & Cook will need to score 14 between them a meeting to be an improvement on Harris & Batchelor, I don't see it at all.

I can't believe Harris thinks it's a good move for him. He was 3rd in the averages for Leicester, now being thrown in as a No1 his average is gonna take a dramatic hit, he's nowhere near that level anymore. He's getting chewed & spat out vs other heatleaders

So don't miss Poole in the Premiership threads.

Best wishes to all those affected. You're kidding me?

Wagstaff

Delusion. I was in that category too for far to long. Hanging on to the 80s & 90s of terrific racing & absolutely being in denial that from 2005+ the racing was more than not, abysmal. All we used to bang on about is it's smooth, no ruts, super fast, race track of the year awards etc while away fans constantly complained. Thinking back, there wasn't many conversation from us home fans about how good the racing was. We were just constantly on the defensive of our beloved "great race track". Criticism wasn't welcome at all, especially because we were winning in the 2nd tier. Now we're so so bad the realism of the whole situation has brought the racing quality to light.

I'd love to know who these nut job new fans are that'll know nothing about King's Lynn, just sign up to BSN & splash ££s for it? There is no such person. There's not one existing Speedway fan out there that doesn't know King's Lynn is a poor watch. British Speedway absolutely needs people to just say how it is on live TV. Stadia is closing, in poor condition, appalling racing etc. People's eyes in 2023 can no longer be deceived, honesty is the only way forward.

Getting in the excuse for his low scoring early

Although I don't have BSN, I will not be watching or attending. I might click on the Speedway Updates site at around 11pm just to be sure the meeting has completed to check the scores. Stars 33 - 57 Ipswich

There's merits to all arguments. I'd have had Lawson & / or Wright in the side over Brennan. They're just both better & I don't think Brennan is the future at all. He certainly doesn't have the ability & aura of a young Woffinden, Bewley & Lambert. He's not going to be that level. Anyway, it's also correct to exclude them if they're skipping team events associated with Great Britain. The last thing needed is rider's being able to pick & choose their international meeting. It's unfair on those that are putting themselves out there for the National flag.

He'd only ride for Wolverhampton apparently

Love Lynn, dislike how it's being run, 2 different things. Lambert was having a great night then decided to curb crawl, maybe he felt the pressure but he most certainly shouldn't have been beat by Janowski how he was. The biggest let down was Woffinden. I expected us to finish 3rd, but going in to those last 4 heats, being able to use Bewley twice, we should not have been beaten, absolutely not. I'm allowed to be angry for losing that. Those last 4 heats, we should have won it.

I can believe people are happy with throwing that away, FOOKIN HELL

Actually we can. Ellis & Brennan didn't end up being the problem. Our experienced GP rider's let us down. Cannot be applauded whatsoever

Woffinden & Lambert let us down in the end. Lambert & his curb crawling is really starting to grate. So angry, should never have thrown that away, absolutely never

1. Australia 2. Poland 3. Great Britain 4. Denmark

MPT is the only one, but it's certainly hasn't been a cause for an extremely poor season. Nobody wishes injury on anyone but the whole season people have wanted rid of Jorgensen.

Explain?? Let's be real here, Pickering, Jorgensen & Palm-Toft have suffered injuries but at the same time, they've all been pretty s#!te prior. King's Lynn are where they deserve to be. The injuries haven't really taken anything away from the season

Here's a thought. Would 2 leagues with the same teams work. Championship is every club on any race day but has a race format for 5 man teams. Premiership is 7 man teams in the regular format, including the Championship clubs original 5 riders + 2 "World Class" rider's just running home & away once a season on Thursday's. An idea, could it work?!?

You would think it's the answer but it's clearly not working currently. Official British Speedway viewing numbers for single race heats is appalling at around 1.5k. One of the biggest indicators that Speedway doesn't attract the masses is the SGP Channel. Only averaging 3k views, that's world championship speedway. Someone uploaded the recent Belle Vue vs Ipswich meeting, 14k views. The global audience are not interested in Speedway as a whole. For context, the Women's World Cup highlights are are regularly 50k+. Live British Speedway on Youtube will be catastrophic

Heat 1, 19:51 2, 19:56 3, 20:02 4, 20:10 5, 20:14 6, 20:17 7, 20:22 8, 20:26 9, 20:40 10, 20:45 11, 21:05 12, 21:09 13, 21:15 14, 21:27 15, 21:42

Difference being that the rider's can travel freely around Europe. The best thing rider's can do is come across on the migrant boats
