No Kabbadi to show. ?

And end with... "We need to keep the regs as ambiguous as possible so we all can interpret them as we would like when we need to make changes, that way we always get to do what we want"... "PS. And no one takes what we do too seriuosly anyway, do they? So, just as long as we get reasonably competitive meetings on each night, all is ok"...

Get some sawdust down... The lads out in boiler suits... And the Captains doing a few laps each to spread around the slop, and we would be all good to go by half three...

A new beginning for Speedway coverage...

Thank goodness the "GP Stars" are back... What would we have done without them?

Freddie would be down as the Rising Star.....

Poole have a winning team and the crowd turns up... They don't have a winning team and they stop going in the same numbers... The racing standard doesn't seem to be so much of a factor as to crowd size, unlike at many other tracks....

I have said many times... Literally tens of millions of pounds will be, and have been, spent in the top two divisions in particular, on riders who clearly haven't grown the sport in the past two decades by their presence... Yet, a pittance on marketing, which may have delivered better results... And also there has been a complete reluctance to "try something new" when "same old, same old" clearly wasn't (and still isn't) working... The (previous) NDL seemed to be the most successful and best ran league by a considerable distance... Maybe someone should reflect on why that was....

Doing well this year is Scott... Kerching!!! And his average doesn't move either does it? He will be getting Premiership winners and runners up trophies at this rate.....

It did... He was out running. ..

Yes... And have a wicker shopping basket on the front...

And play offs are won on aggregate... The Aces have had some close calls this year at home so a big win delivers a much greater chance of qualification... Riding against the opposition reserves several times a night will certainly help him...

One of the few tracks you dont fill your programme in by bend three, lap one..

Missed the pristine white shirt to be honest...

Magic moments are created in almost no time at all... I thought the meeting was excellent (Tai's injury apart), with razor sharp reflexes on show and riders riding inches from the fence... And plenty of passing and very close, hard racing... Exactly what you pay for.... And. You get to see lots and lots of Phil.... Mmmmmmm, lovely... GP Speedway...

Black Leathers... Monkey masks... 2 valve engines.. 3 shilling to get in, and still have enough for 20 Woodbine and a fish supper on the way home..

How good was that? GP Speedway... And some still moan....

Wow... What a first lap... These lads are different class aren't they?

There are enough reasons to see the sport as a bit Mickey Mouse, so to see a team make changes suggests the title may be worth winning... And in any professional sport, you should need to perform to keep your place rather than having an average level that fits a bigger plan.. Well done to the Aces, I can see this kid having a big future...

Gordon Pairman in last weeks SS did a very informative Q and A, and suggested all the legal threats were basically not worth the words... And bemoaned the fact that instead of allowing the IOW and others to possibly develop riders, the BSP did their utmost to try and stop them.. But, to be fair, he always seemed to come across as someone with common sense...

Apart from not having a 14000 capacity... A flaw in your cunning plan Balder's...

Dan, all over... Could have rode all three up the track, and didn't..

I think the pricing structure for the final is to subsidise the lack of people attending the other three meetings... Big costs for four meetings to cover... As a "one off", I would think somewhere between £35 to stand to £65 to sit would be around the cost...

About 7,000 I think... £50 a ticket on average and affordable maybe?

Get 14,000 paying circa £350k and anyone can have one... Great ride from Fajfer!!!
