They will have to... Riders have become accustomed to two salaries.. Div 2 promoters have become accustomed to using Div 1 HL's.. And Div 2 fans have become accustomed to watching Div 1 HL's, meaning they wont pay the same money (or maybe more), next season to not watch them.. And I cannot see too many Div 2 teams knocking 3 or 4 quid off the entrance fee should the Div 1 HL's be missing...

"We dont need another zero" Tina "Tiddler" Turner...

Aces got 64 last time v Peterborough.. So Peterborough have improved...

Presume the Wolves riders' bikes tonight are the ones they all used to ride in the 90's?

Maybe but it is very slick on the inside yet the Stars are flying across the apex to mid track and the outside... The line is go in wider, lock up, and cone out narrower.. Like it has been for donkeys years.. Hence "Karlsson's Corridor"... And I watched Peter in the early 90's to the noughties and beyond...

Basso should have had 7 rides... (And my bet would have come in)...

Used to watch Joe Screen as an 18 year old kid riding inches from the white line at both Monmore and Kirky Lane.. The Yanks too were all very adept at it... Throttle Control...

I think Jorgensen moved then...

Dont Speedway riders ever watch racing from Monmore? I presume not... Nor I presume must their team managers... Edit: And again...

Must be costing the Aces a fair few quid all these hammerings at home..

To be fair to Kerr.. Not many riders at Wolves lock up on bends one and two and pass up the inside exiting turn two.. NB: Even Simon Stead has hardly mentioned it...

Bomber not gone through the card?

Nor in those Peppa Pig and Fireman Sam cars outside Tesco...

The bike you start the race with is the bike you should start the re run with when it is no more than an unsatisfactory start.. No pit gate open. Straight back round..

To be fair... You cannot compare Poland's version of Speedway to the UK example.. It's like comparing Premier League football to the Evostick Northern Premier League football.. In Poland it means so much, with promotion, relegation, big crowds, professional infrastructure, and huge financial rewards, sponsorship, and media coverage... None of those things apply over here, therefore it is what it is.. Which is pretty much a vehicle for lads to earn as much as they can to justify a large outlay on kit.. As the race with Pickering showed, the spectacle is still worth watching, even if the operating model clearly, and obviously, doesnt do it any favours... Beats Emmerdale, Corrie and Eastenders on a Monday...

To be fair, more experienced riders have struggled to do the same over the years...

Just typifies how amateurish the infrastructure is... The ref can see surely that the inside rider is facing right, and the outside rider is facing left... And if he/she cannot then they shouldnt officiate...

I presume starting at "all angles" is an optional extra in the UK?

It will be a great meeting now you are expecting the worst.. And Bomber by himself is always worth a few stand out moments. . And it's obviously one of the few occasions anyone will get to see him ride anywhere in the UK this season... I won £60 on Drabiik scoring over seven yesterday so contemplated giving it to the Aces... But. On reflection Getting a take away (on a Monday) instead... Enjoy your evening... Happiness is 46-44.... Edit. Just noticed that Woves v Stars is the TV meeting.. Where's that 192 Bus timetable,...

Must be missing something with Hansen.. Why do they use him? He seems well out of his depth..

Yet another cracking meeting from Poland... Every point getting contested.... Running a last means so much given how close the teams are...

Great ride from Cierniak. .. Just one of several top class juniors currently in Poland... Smektala, Kubera and Drabik will soon be looking over their shoulders and start to feel like veterans.......

Maybe they asked everyone to "bring a friend"?. ... Great to see the "Lublin end" full too.... Must be a great atmosphere having so many away fans there as well....

A fair few thousand there today....

It certainly looked a distinct possibility the way he went into the fence, and his reaction as he lay on the track. .. Could have been worse given the angle he hit the fence at....
