I just hope the lad picks up some more sponsorship off the back of this great start, looking a little bare on his race suit. Money must be tight for him to compete financially

Old Nige threw that in just for his haters. Said he was gonna do it and did and rightly unapologetic. Nige and Kelv were their normal shouty selves but they had a right to be this time, the racing was that good.

After that tonight my pants are having to go through a hotwash Semi final 2 was just rediculously awesome. One of the most stupendous races ever. OMG I need a lay down

wow wow wow there will be a few Woffy haters spewing tonight. The kid was awesome that can not be denied

Super Simon Stead, is he like a man possessed or what so far this season!!!!!! He's been fantastic for us Stars, what he like for you guys to watch. Mr Easy or Mr Entertainment???

To us here in the UK, yes it's a non story but it's completely different kettle of fish in Poland. One of there biggest sports and these guys get recognised when out and about everywhere they go. They are celebrities & seen like pro footballers over here, when getting wasted, fighting etc is seriously frowned upon & all over the papers. There's a time and a place and Poland isn't one of those places for them to be 'letting go' so to speak

Norfolk Area: - Henka Gustafsson - Jason Crump - Nicki Pedersen - Darcy Ward

Things would move along much quicker with the simple but effective GP style 2mins system. Call the 2mins & all rider's have to be ready to race or excluded when the clock hits 0. That alone would make meetings run so much smoothly I have no doubt.

I think existing surroundings with other established sporting events have a dispensation. I understand all new builds must adhere to the RFL regulations

RFL pitch regulations would make the Belle Vue track HUGE Their regulations are (at full dimensions) 100m(116m) x 68m(74m) That would make around a 420m speedway track, WOW

There's still a major hurdle here to get through remember. The BSPA need to get their fingers out of their poop holes and secure the future of live televised British Speedway or this could become a devastating venture and speedway as a whole crumbles COME ON BSPA - SORT IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

4412 adult entrants @ £17 over the whole season covers the costs. Around 240 weekly paying adults. It's a bargain

£4.5m to be paid back over the next 60 years / £75,000 per season sounds an awful lot but it is an absolute bargain. 4412 entrance fees will cover that expense over a whole season so not a great deal to worry about. Also, I'm guessing, if the rugby are also playing at the stadium would they be required to pay rent too Belle Vue speedway?? Some do know my opinions on this and I'm absolutely gutted my team King's Lynn will now lose out on major events but Good luck to Belle Vue. If all the numbers are correct it's an absolute steel.

To make a living riders can't afford to do that. The problem is, every promoters excuse is riders wages. To be quite frank, that is absolute garbage and lazy promoting to make comments like that. The sport can improve & become cheaper but it has to be done by the BSPA. The first job is to get rid of GoSpeed. Employ somebody to go out there and market British Speedway as a whole, not individual teams. Get out there & ask, ask again, ask again, ask again, ask again, ask again, ask again, ask again, ask again & ask again. Somebody will sponsor speedway. The Redbull Elite League The EasyJet Premier League Energy drinks & Aviation is the main route I'd start with. 1000's of flights taken per season by riders, these guys could easily create good business for these airlines. The point is the BSPA overall are responsible for saving speedway and not individual clubs & riders cutting there wages. Get a major sponsorship and people will come. It's how things work these days. Today people are sucked in & follow brands even if the product is garbage. Just blind the public with razzle dazzle and they'll want a bit of it.

It may have something to do with Shane Waldron crashing out the other day in the Stoke individual??? Not heard anything on how he is yet??? Only Lewis Kerr, Tom Young & Shane Hazelden are down as confirmed signings on the Stars website Jake Knight, Darren Mallett, Shane Waldron, and Lewis Rose missing from the 2013 riders list on the website which I'm convinced they were all on there a couple of weeks ago???

Isn't all team motorsport the same??? In F1 injured drivers can be replaced by another teams reserve or test driver. In bike & some other 4 wheel track racing it's been known for injured factory riders / drivers to have the same championship independants to come in. Squad systems keep getting mentioned in British speedway but it would create more expense to promotors as less meeting for riders would mean retaining fees would have to be paid. That just isn't affordable

Neither have I said he should be dropped. I just feel the lad could be having his confidence ripped apart only getting 3 rides a meeting. So far he's scored 5 from 10 rides.

This may be harsh, we're doing well, at it's early season but I think it's fair. Kozza has come back way to soon IMO for the EL. May be a few meetings under his belt with Berwick may change things but at the moment the EL is way above him Opinions

Being last should never be rewarded IMO. Imagine the last round in 2012 @ Torun & Holder only needed a point to win the title. It would be an absolute farce to watch a rider trundle round at the back. Regardless of a final or not, last places should always score zero.

We had Good Friday & Saturday, why shouldn't Poland have Sunday /Monday or Sweden & Denmark. They don't owe us anything. The most annoying thing with British Speedway is people think we should have automatic rights reserved for every date available. We really can be such a selfish Country sometimes

Hopefully there is truck loads in the Track shops for tomorrow.W H Smiths let me down

Can't believe you just said that. The GP's are live a peak times. Most often both Eurosport channels show live sport on a Saturday evenings and I genuinely fear for the Speedway if and when it over runs.

I'm reserving some judgment of Eurosport. Being 3am there was never a chance of clashing. Wait to see what happens when it over runs and another live event is scheduled after. At least with Sky a clash could be moved to the red button option

My sky planner shows Elite League Speedway on Skysports 1 7.30pm????? Or do you mean the SSN Live Sport schedule?????
