It's a "summer sport" in so much that this is the time of year that has the least rainfall.. And higher temps.... When a sport relies so much on "decent" weather, to attract its crowd, you really should be maximising those months that are drier and warmer.. The first month or so can attract crowds based on the enthusiasm of fans after the long winter break, but, as has been said, as you hit the colder and wetter time of year in late September and October, sitting at home and watching on TV becomes more of an attractive option.. Which impacts the "be all and end all" play offs.,

A "summer sport" running (hopefully, fingers crossed), in October....!!☺️ Hopefully Scott has developed some innovative way of settling who wins the final if it doesn't get completed...😄 Sadly, it is very much rinse and repeat with UK Speedway., As has been suggested on here, maybe it's time for one point each if a meeting gets called off? I am sure that alone would get more meetings ran on time during the season, given no income would be forthcoming for either promoters or riders... Track covers have been shown to work so there really isn't any excuse to not invest in them.. And any bona fide professional sport, so impacted by weather, would make such defence against the vagaries of the UK weather top of its list of priorities.. Priority race nights should make the completion of the season something easy to deliver... Given seven teams, six matches per week were possible with only 84 needing to be ran.. Three and a half months of Speedway to be completed in six months.. There is a phrase that goes "Winners always find a way"... UK Speedway definitely needs some "Winners" in the leadership of it going forward....

He is great to watch, however, most of his passes are down the straights using phenomenal straight line speed... Meaning he has a proper "rocket ship" under him, as skill alone wouldn't generate such straight line speed that is so much quicker than everyone else... All top iders have top notch fast machinery, and all can gate too (it's a fallacy that the likes of Bewley and Sayfutdinov cannot, as it they couldn't, they simply wouldn't be top riders)... A decent GP season, for once, as it went literally to the wire, with the only negative being the appalling track soakings that a certain someone seems to think enhances the racing... It definitely doesn't ..

The highest paid Speedway rider in the world doesn't have the best machinery?

Like the best referees in football... You never see them....

It gets him on the telly...... Looking like he is important too..

Just imagine the cavalcade of "Barry White" you will get on here, from fans of every single team, (especially Poole), if Ipswich don't win the league...

Don't take the clown on... He is currently waiting for his Mam to bring his tea up to his room.. Before he kisses his Jason Doyle poster (signed) good night...

Those are the rules.... Everyone knows them... And BZ did just enough... Brady had a phenomenal season and was, arguably, the best rider over the piece given his head to heads with BZ and his five GP victories.. But still, the GOAT managed to win... Great interview too lad .. Well Done....

Wow.... Take a bow Brady.... Five GP's on the bounce!!!!! The first time ever? What an achievement!!!! No shame in losing so closely to quite possibly the GOAT... Let's get Laguta back next year to add to the spectacle... Six times World Champion!!! An Amazing rider...

Brady twitch and Bartek hits the tapes...

Well done Dan!!! He cannot gate though as he proved on Thursday.. Thats why his four points were better than Brady's..

Kelvin confident Lebedevs is in next year... If I was Lebedevs I wouldn't be so sure...

Monkey Tennis!!!!!!

Race winning times....

Just when the racing was improving.... He is not good is he?

Kurtz simply not intimidated by BZ.... Unlike so many.... Woryna next year will also be worth watching for the same reason..

Come on wingman Dan... We are going to need you in the final.... Joe Screen and Mark Loram time...

I remember a meeting when Mark Loram passed people for fun... It had peed down and, therefore, Ole couldn't "idiot" the track up...

Max continuing to get his priorities right....

BZ's to lose ... Kurtz has done brilliantly to take it to the last GP.... BZ not been pushed like this since Laguta... He is through a different level than all the rest, so if he brings his best game, he wins...

Three Lublin riders to support BZ..... Can't see them wanting to go back there anytime soon to race if they end up helping Brady to win... Over to you Jack....

One could have been his third title with the Aces, and gained absolute sod all publicity in the grand scheme of things for him or his club..... The other could change his life and add a good few hundred thousands to contracts and sponsorship deals from national companies in Poland next year, and increase his profile over there massively... Hmmmmmmm... A true dilemma indeed in which one to prioritise... Personally, I think he has his work cut out tonight as BZ will, most likely, minimum, finish on the podium, therefore Brady has to win... And that would be FIVE GP's on the bounce... Unheard of that isn't it? Four already being an extraordinary achievement which only special talents have attained, especially when two of them were delivered after an early warning for moving at the start... Best Wishes to him though...

Bob Holness and Gazza's daughter have also been part of the ensemble of greats down the years.. No one does naff quite like UK Speedway do they?

Will never happen.... No one goes out on Mondays or Thursday in Poole...
