Maybe KL dropping averages to bring some world class superstar in? Oh. Hang on... They have already got one of them haven't they?

100% correct... But you could have written the same, at least, 10 years ago.. The ego's involved though won't ever allow the fundamental, radical change needed...

Just needs to gate something better than being 5 yards down at the 4th turn.. Plenty fast enough. ..

Just seen the score. .. 39 -15 after nine heats. .. FFS...... British Speedway...

Has Artem won any?

Changes were needed donkeys years ago. .. They never happened... And won't now. . Turkeys don't vote for Christmas. ..

Let's hope he at least gets a "stand by" reserve place for EVERY team to recognise what he does...

It does look so much more professional in Poland doesnt it, with them all wearing the offices club shirts.. No Mettalica T shirts and arse cracks showing there. .. However, with so many guests over here you would need a few of them "big shirts" for the mechanics, that the guest wears..

Can't be... He is only on a five average isn't he? Rules are Rules. ..

Not a tenner then. ..? Presume you had to pre book to get in the Grandstand.there will be some many there.. .?

Come on Ian... You more than most know how this made up bollox works... Dont treat it, or measure it, like a proper professional sport FFS... We'll be here all night...

And the tide is out... Or is it when it's in?

Could guest maybe? (For two or three teams at the same time)...

Come on. It's all Mickey Mouse bollox granted, but you have a young lad making his debut who looks very useful and Bewley and Kurtz there... Could be some cracking racing... I presume that given it is on Eurosport they have reduced the admission to a tenner to get a big crowd in and make it look like a popular place to be and a successful sport...? With two free hours of advertising to showcase yourself, you would be daft not to wouldnt you? Maybe ask the new fella how is Uncle is bearing up as well?

In the interest of Speedway?

You are correct, but wasting your time... They have the sport they want.. A hobby that isnt taken too seriously and has no forensic analysis, nor review.. It could be so much more if the skill set of those in charge was fit for purpose.. And that is the real frustration... So many in charge of clubs today have overseen a huge decline in the sport during their tenure, so clearly dont have the capability to turn it around, and, sadly, when new ideas have come in, those with them are soon sent away disillusioned, leaving the sport to those dinosaurs who are quite happy to continue with their hobby that masquerades as a sporting contest..

We on here really need to form a syndicate to do the lottery... So many of us seem to be able to predict what happens in the future so accurately... Must be countless times when someone on here has said "he wont be there now" when discussing an upcoming meeting.. And low and behold they get proved right...!! Numbers for the Euro millions anyone? We win, we buy UK Speedway..

Watched him at the NSS... Brilliant rider, but saw also how he interacted with team mates and opponents in the pits after their races... Congratulating or commiserating with them at the pit gate... Seems like a man who loves his Speedway.. Gives everything 100%, every race.. A joy to watch...

Bomber must rub his hands every time a "Superstar" comes over here... Guaranteed extra meetings...

Exactly... And that is all it is.. A charade... Discovery must be delighted to have got involved with such professionalism.. The promoters must know how farcical it is at times because they deliver it with their own operating model... We fans dont take it too seriously so just let us know why things change...

He's injured..... I mean missed his flight...

That is yet another major issue though isn't it? They should just be able to say exactly what the situation is.. We have guest after guest after guest in virtually every meeting so the actual reasons for them have become irrelevant... Is he injured? Has he missed a flight? Is anyone talking the piss? Who cares.... This way they run the sport, it means so very little other than getting 14 riders in the same place at the same time to race 15 heats of (hopefully) entertaining racing.. We know it's all contrived and made up, so the promoters should just treat us like adults and tell us reasons why things happen.. It won't stop most from going as being "Champions" means so little overall.. The majority of fans nowadays I would suggest are "Speedway Fans" first, and want it to be successful, before getting too engaged in how successful their club is.. Put out some decent racing and crowds will turn up..

Are you a doctor? Show some compassion man....

Must admit, I am a bit disappointed by the response of some on here.. No one seems concerned as to Artem's welfare in all of this.. Get well soon Artem... #prayforartem....

To bring integrity and credibility I seem to remember were some of his aims... I aim to become an astronaut by the end of the year too... Be interesting to see which one of us gets closest...
