  1. Best Wishes to the lad... Gets some bad press from some, but always worth watching race...
  2. To be fair to Buster... A lack of ambition to win what exactly?.. The only "prize" appears to be a couple of extra home meetings which should deliver a few hundred more fans... KL seems to get OK crowds each season regardless of performances, so spending more money won't necessarily mean more fans to justify the cost... Has KL got the F1 World Stox Championship this season? As that will certainly bring a decent amount in to support any Speedway costs...
  3. If anything Coleman has been ultra measured in his public comments... He knows the sport is a sh*tshow in the UK, but has been very diplomatic in his views on it... Whilst still making it clear what he really feels of how the sport is ran... He comes across as someone well versed in using political diplomacy to achieve his aims... Nice to see someone in the sport of this level..
  4. And you have discovered the sport of Boxing down there too... Although... Your one an only fella did take a bit of a "tw*tting" last time so maybe that is now off the local agenda? Back to the Farmer's Markets maybe?
  5. Stock Cars are the money shot ..... With Speedway being the "must not lose too much" hobby... Same every season... No point in moaning about it, as it will never change..
  6. Tom B has made most of his progress riding at No3, protected by two exceptional one and fives, at BV and Ipswich, who went head to head against their opposite numbers several times per meeting, and, invariably, heat fifteen... The fact they remained one and five shows their top level capability... Tom was very honest post the GB GP's as to where is he, and that is a long way off the level of a No1, even in a depleted league... No 1's of Kurtz, Fricke, J Holder and Lidsey, are Polish top tier HL's, so, no idea why anyone would consider Tom to be of that level.. Especially considering he even is struggling to hold down a Polish tier two position..
  7. Football moans it never gets a "Winter Break"... UK Speedway has a summer one... UK Speedway. Leading the way...
  8. Boooooooo Garrity!! Booooooooo!!!! Good luck to the lad.... He effed up, big style, when addicted to drugs... He might end up effing up again... But, at least, he is giving it a go...
  9. Sometimes it is maybe a good thing that the sport gets so little coverage, as that would always bring much greater scrutiny... And, not sure it would stand up to too much of that....
  10. And a lower than expected average means plenty of guest requests...
  11. Interesting that so many when they go outside the sport say an independent body is needed... Yet.... When within the Speedway Bubble.... They publicly never said a word...
  12. Sounds like the track had a good even soaking... When I went last year the wind dried up the track quickly and the water bowser didn't exactly soak the surface, meaning lots of dust, and minimal passing opportunities.. Give me ten pints of Stella and I could have p*ssed more...
  13. Grippy, gate and go.... Riding the white line, and then mid track berm as the meetings goes on.....
  14. No! No! No!... Landlords and developers... 70's promoters... Poland... Poole Speedway (thanks Iain).. And, (just remembered another).. Brexit.... They, the above, are all to blame for 2026's UK Speedway's issues... I am not sure why fans are not grasping this...
  15. A shame you couldn't get Jason Doyle... Oh! Hang on...
  16. Good luck to the lad.... Paid his dues... No point having a penal system if you cannot change...
