  1. Is it still an 'if' for Lambert to Torun? Will be a massive L imo to see him go their alongside the Holder's. That club & those 2 will drag Lambert down, he needs to be away from them. Plus if their squad is correct they look an absolutely awful team.
  2. Who can blame the Pole's? Rider's want the money & they pay the money. Unlike most other league's they pay large signing on fees too. The Pole's rightly so have to protect themselves. It's now down to the rider's. Sweden & Poland will 100% be the picks. The only rider of the top of my that may have a tug at the heart string will be Bewley at Belle Vue. Doyle has been a stalwart of British Speedway but even he would drop the UK without a thought. Pedersen is upset, but that more to do with his age & wanting to earn a maximum amount before retirement. A genuine question here, which other of the Premiership's "top" rider's will get Ekstraliga rider's & be missed from British Speedway? I'm genuinely struggling & don't see why British fans are concerned. Jaimon Lidsey will have a choice to make but has shown on the continent he could already be above British Speedway level.
  3. I'll bring it back Jason Garrity is a cu...........
  4. Lets not forget that many many rider's are using Snus / Snuff & blatantly making requests for purchases on social media. Some will say it's only nicotine but it's used to heighten senses & believe it improves performance. An illegal substance in Europe but never ever gets talked about. This is still cheating & as bad as any rider that does class A/B substances imo.
  5. Forget this news story briefly, a side question. What's happened to the supposedly "random drug tests" in British Speedway & how on earth had he avoided one all this time??
  6. Small oil burner. Those little ones with the tin candles in the bottom & oil tray on top. Never tried it but a logical cheap option to try maybe, less of a fire risk? Not sure whether the smell is from just fuel, oil or a bit of both burnt though?
  7. 3-2-1-0 is perfectly fine in team events. No way should more points be awarded for 2nd-3rd over a guy winning the race. What should be don't is bonus points for team riding in 1st & 2nd only then these are used if count back is required. The aim in Speedway should always be 'win races & look after your team', never 'look after your team & let them win races'. What you could do is make it more of a killer for rider's finishing last with 5-3-2-0. Nobody would want to be 8-2'd
  8. And rightly so. His career is moving on & he doesn't need the messed up British Speedway. If he wants to still race every day he has Poland, Sweden, Denmark & Germany to do that
  9. This has got to be a joke pick for GB hasn't it?? We're f*****
  10. Could the fact Eurosport has the rights to British Speedway tick part of their 'Grassroots' quota.
  11. I'm being proper dumb today, what does this all mean in layman's terms. 1. Are OneSport & BSI totally removed? 2. Have Eurosport become the series organisers? 3. Will Eurosport show the sport on their channels or are they selling to 3rd parties (BT, Sky etc)? 4. Do Eurosport now have some say over each individual countries leagues?
  12. 100%, anywhere else that meeting would have been off. As far as rider's willing to give it a go, the winner, Rory Schlein is one of the biggest complainants regards wet tracks. That tells you the massive compliments Belle Vue deserve. I'd go as far as, any BSPA or world event should be held only at Belle Vue in the UK, it never fails to deliver.
  13. How about building the streaming into season tickets making those better value for money?? When your club is away from home the stream is free. Have independent season tickets available for around 60 meetings for £100. I just feel that having single meetings available it will have a massive detrimental effect on British Speedway, making things far harder than they are now. The biggest thing to think about is our weather, people will most certainly then just sit at home & wait a few minutes to tapes up then purchase. Unfortunately we may think there may be a right way to use things but this pandemic has proven that 9/10 times there's a huge "all about me" selfishness going on.
  14. Think we need some perspective here. Some are saying £12 is to much for streaming, even if it's a Premiership meeting. The thing is, clubs would still have to cover the same costs. With standard entrance at £18 how many would actually stay away from stadiums to save £6?? I'd say A LOT. Once you factor in fuel, programme & food, the opportunity to watch your team on the sofa, £12 is cheap. Meetings online when the fans are allowed to return will not be financially viable unless the cost of a stream matches the admission costs imo.
  15. That's irrelevant. Surely all sports are to be treated the same. You can either have 1>2500 spectators or you can't. Elite or amateur is neither here nor there.
  16. Does say on the Speedworth site that "advanced tickets are suspended". Whatever that means exactly
  17. Although I've no complaints about Jack Holder getting the Wildcard I'm a little disappointed the already qualified SEC winner Robert Lambert hasn't had a shout for any of these rounds.
  18. All smart TV's have an independent web browser, Ifollow works through that & in full screen.
