THE DEAN MACHINE

As someone who spends a lot of time working all over London the answer is no

Congratulations to Australia, personally would of put bewley on gate 4 but hey ho great result for GB

Either we win or our criminal descendants win

Racing is nearly none existent but the points results are making this meeting enjoyable watching

Cameraman is adding guesswork to the meeting

This news about woffinden could make us stronger, with him there is an expectation from us to win without him that pressure will be less, bewley and lambert are more than capable, take the expectation away and let them do their thing

And that’s why he has a lot of haters, well that and he is successful of course

Sometimes luck is on your side and it was on Poland’s side tonight but overall they deserved it, the czech’s and GB can be proud of their nights work

Made hard work of it but we are there

While it’s a given that advantages are sort by all riders of all nations, over sized engines especially in Poland isn’t one of them and especially at FIM level, another reason is a tuner like kowalski or gravesen ain’t going to risk his business by cheating in a school boy way and then even if they were stupid enough to do that and over sized engine doesn’t automatically mean a faster bike in speedway

We should easily qualify tonight and we haven’t been this strong in a good few years, Bewley is a far more mature rider than he was this time last year, gating on a slick track could be our weakness but even that shouldn’t see us really troubled tonight

Not sure why they went with janowski, kubera better choice imo

When was the last time Finland finished on the rostrum in speedway

The anouncer is phoning round all his DJ mates to see if any of them have a copy of the finish national anthem

I’m actually quite enjoying this, seeing underdog nations giving there all

Can’t believe Germany didn’t let Ukraine get a 7-2 there, liz truss will be furious

If crowd levels dictate Next years son qualifiers will be held at buxton

I have these on my stick, getting proper fed up with Eurosport, maybe BSN should of took over the contract, more professional with a drop in the ocean finances

That is spot on

Glad you enjoyed it mate, certainly was a fun day up in them hills, sadly buxton is no more, well the track is still there and used for the ride n skid days but not for meetings anymore, I was up there last saturday and did some laps round there trying out an engine, it did get me thinking ?, maybe ? Who knows

For those paying attention speedway along with other sports is heading for the toughest period ever and it’s going to be bad, really bad and it’s not if it’s own making but I just feel speedway will just try to carry on like everything is normal and then when it hits the wall the Bspl will blame everyone but themselves, the sport is reactive,it should be proactive, reactive this time may be fatal, saying all that it’s not my money at stake

Tonight wolves were at home to Kings Lynn, I live 2 miles from the track, I had nothing else to do, I was brought up a wolves fan, while I think it’s too expensive in general money is not an issue for me, I am speedways greatest fan, always have been and yet I didn’t want to go tonight,It just didn’t grab my attention enough to attend, I watched it on tv but that didn’t really stop me going either and I missed the first 3 heats as I was watching something else, it’s just not grabbing me, I can’t affiliate with a team of mercenaries who parade as my team, there is no point in having a league with teams that are filled with riders that ride for someone else, I know I am sounding like a broken record but if the sport can’t grab someone like me what chance does it have for a new audience, when I watch British speedway now I feel like I’m watching something else, on track speedway is full of bad annoying habits like starting offences, gardening, adjusting chains etc after a restart, it’s not needed it’s habit and annoying habit at that,

I’ve been both a rider and a mechanic and it’s time to ban the mechanics from the track after an unsatisfactory start, it’s annoying and unnecessary , straight back to the start

All this ticket app buying saga is putting me right off going, I’m not buying a ticket in advance, I am reliably told you can still buy paper tickets on the day from the stadium if I decide to go it will literally be a night before decision as it’s been most years for me but it’s looking more unlikely this year, it’s just not grabbing me

Now that was the sport I love
