Suffice to say I won’t be spending any more of my money on streaming BSN. It was frozen most of the time. You can’t even re-watch it.

I’ve just re-negotiated my Sky package to include TNT. This, for no more than I was paying. Polite negotiation, saying that they took away important channels and you have to pay to replace what you like on them. Price actually was less than I was paying. Speedway and Champions League. What’s not to like.

Why don’t they fill the ruts at the start? Dirt and a whacker would prevent this meeting running out of light, and me being late for church tomorrow!

Agree that Cardiff is a disgrace. A huge expense to create a moto cross circuit. Why, when we have BV? Ok we can’t get the crowds but for how much longer are people going to pay large amounts for a pretty poor affair.

I have a suggestion. Run the British Final on the Friday before Cardiff, in Cardiff. No chance of a rain off. Remember the old Somerset Pairs on the Friday. winner gets the wildcard. Simples

Those who criticise his style of commentary need to wait and see what the alternative might be. God save us from Sudden Sam. Be careful for what you wish for.

Well said Sir. I for one will miss his double act with Kelvin. Irreplaceable. Difficult act to follow. I met him once at Somerset with Jason Doyle . A true gent. RIP and sincere condolences to his family.

Great idea if he doesn't calm down before he breaks his kneck.

Not being entirely up to speed with this, why are the Russians not here?

I’m not sure given the state of British speedway you would get 40000 today. Ive seen some awful tracks at Cardiff. Shame the NSS couldn’t hold a few more.

Please note that I quoted “titles”, not necessarily world crowns. He also said that he was the fairest rider of his time and he (Fundin) was always happy to ride outside Craven.

I only saw Craven ride once, and that was on the terrible night in Edinburgh. I went to his memorial service in 2003, at Liverpool Cathedral out of respect for the man. In his eulogy Ove Fundin openly admitted he would not have won as many titles as he did had Peter lived. Bartosz Smarslik pushes the boundaries. Perhaps he can with air fences and modern helmets and padding, but these boys had none of that. I hope he stays serious accident free because he is exciting. RIP Peter Craven.

So, contrary to some, I am right to question the future of the Rebels?

Has anyone any information on the snippet I saw in the press about the Hancocks selling land by the Oak Tree that would (or might) render a return of speedway there nigh on impossible?

Where will Nigel and Kelvin commentate from? Will they go and accept quarantine or do it remotely?
