Sadly a good point - if the meeting is run and I think it’s a big IF as other than pride I guess the meeting means very little - Belle Vue could already be league champions by that date - will BV really be interested ?

Great for a neutral I agree and great for British speedway - but were was he when the British final was run ? And had his Polish team wanted him he’d not be In Manchester tonight that for sure . Make no mistake he’s here for one reason only Robert Lamberts bank balance- doesn’t care about Belle Vue or British speedway or he’d signed for Belle Vue back in March

Great to see a rider like Lambert back in British speedway absolutely- but if he had Polish fixtures were would he be were was he when the British final was run ? and come next March will he have signed up for a full season ?

Pleased I watched the Tomicek meeting from Prague tonight instead .

Sadly nothing on the meeting for Wolves dead rubber for them - will help for average reduction as well - protecting there selfs for the play offs - im sure come the semis they will be a very different side . But we’ll done the Stars on there win

You are correct- it was due to have been Belle Vue but was called off in dubious circumstances on the Sunday when weather forecast spoke of shower Monday night and Monday came and was totally dry - also it think the club was without Jorgensen that night had it been on

Spot on totally agree.

Great rider in his day no one would disagree with that but sadly his time on a speedway bike is over in my opinion

Downside to that is cities have more things on offer for people to spend there hard earned cash on .

It’s as if the powers that be want to run speedway into the ground - they couldn’t make a worse job of running it if they tried - kids summer holidays as you say should be a speedway festival- 10 home meetings in 6 months a 6 team league unbelievable they struggle to fit in fixtures- also the league cup final (remember that competition) KL v Sheffield in the final should have been staged months ago all the importance has long since passed - will it even be staged?

Totally agree -and in the driest summer in years as well - the worrying bit as we are now in autumn and it seems to rain almost every day the weather is definitely going to play a big part .

Best interest of the sport is not call a meeting off on a Sunday because the weather talked of showers on the Monday and no rain fell that day - points should be awarded to BV

Think we all no Lewis Kerr is going to score big

What was ridiculous was why run it so close to Cardiff GP ? If it had been run early July and weather was bad plenty of time to restage it before Cardiff

Think most agree changes are needed to how the sport is run - a PL with only 6 teams in it with top 4 known in July more or less means many league meetings are meaningless - £20 for what’s on offer is to expensive drop it to £15 I think more people would attend meetings. And more thought needs to be given to fans not take them for granted - the word promotors should be dropped to club owners as other than Glasgow none of them promotions promote the sport . Speedway in its present form is terminal with cost of living crisis getting worse next season will be even harder for clubs . Change needs to happen and fast .

Could be the only way in making Kings Lynn have Eurosport cameras at a meeting this season .

And only one of the 3 can be bothered to race in the National championship meeting.

Last night was a prime example why fans don’t go anymore £20 for 10 heats - and there is other reasons British final farce Cardiff Gp track which should be a great advert for speedway - 6 team Premier league - guest riders being used what seems in every meeting wasn’t it Birmingham a few weeks ago had just one of there own riders - then on top of that cost of living crisis which is rammed down our throats by main stream media then you wonder why fans have stopped going ? What is surprising how many still go

Lawson Pickering and Klindt are all here to earn money if Buster said I will pay you your match average points money not ride I think they’d taken him up on it but can’t see Buster doing that - not sure what the answer is though the sport can’t be taken seriously while guest manipulate the league table..

Joking aside £20 for 10 heats doesn’t = value for money - really am finding it difficult to see how the sport can survive in the UK sadly

And is Eurosport cameras there that’s more crucial if it’s on or off than the weather forecast

Very true - meeting now under way hopefully everyone stays safe if track is dodgy and it’s a good meeting for everyone.

The bit that baffles me is the same promotion calls Kings Lynn v Belle Sunday afternoon with a Monday evening start time with no rain falling on race day in KL the club owner owns the stadium no rent owed fast forward to Thursday the same promotion doesn’t call the meeting off but heavy rain throughout the day rent needs to be paid and other expenses- why was Mondays called off well in advance but not tonight’s ?

Total dead rubber of a meeting at this stage of the season if not challenging for a play off place meetings are point less .Other than not ending up bottom of course - sadly it looks like the only winner could be the rain after weeks of dry weather .

I agree Tv coverage of league meetings more or less a waste of time if there is no payment to of set the loss in crowd numbers as you say what is the point ? streaming is the way forward as the Championship have done this season and with only six clubs maybe every meeting could be streamed with fans buying a season ticket from there own club for the service ..
