  1. For anyone who has not seen it they have Highlights of Gorzow GP at 6 tonight on Quest.
  2. Teams now have the incentive to fight right to the end of the meeting to get an extra point, providing the gap is not too large. In the past teams have given up and not raced till the end of the meeting. It is the double points that needs changing, or got rid of.
  3. Three riders could be missing this one, Nicki through injury, now Tai been taken off to hospital tonight, and who knows Darcy could also be missing.
  4. Coventry manage with a track like that , What a mess.
  5. Thurs 14th Quest are showing World Team Cup meeting, at 2pm, not sure if this is the playoff or final, for anyone who has not seen it. Repeated at 8pm.
  6. It seems that there has been an agreement to allow riders to ride in both SGP and SEC next year http://speedwayeuro.com/news/n/344/there-is-agreement-concerning-sec-2015--there-won---t-be-prohibition.html
  7. Tues 12th Quest on freeview is showing highlights of World Team Cup from Kings Lynn at 2pm.
  8. Highlights shown on Quest - freeview last night and repeated tues 2pm
  9. Glad I watched the stream from where ever earlier in what ever language it was, rather than listen to Sam.
  10. I got the individual scores from Speedway Updates, as I could not find any on the official website, and the totals shown are the totals of the individual updates scores. http://speedwayeuro.com/
  11. They could have put this out on Quest live, as they kindly did with the GP, then repeated it on Eurosport at 8.
  12. Thanks, got that from speedway updates, see now on Holsted site MJJ.
  13. Thanks again, not having much luck with this meetings riders.
  14. By the time Boris gets anywhere near PM speedway will be racing electric bikes.
  15. Pedersen £ 50 more Kildemand £ 50 more Bogdanovs £ 100 more Lebedevs £ 100 more
  16. Initially but they pay the FIM for the rights to run them, who in turn pay nothing or very little to the federations.
  17. The training and funding of GB youngsters could be done if there is a major change in the way things have been allowed happen in the past. 1. In many sports some of the income from the World Championships etc is shared out between the national federations and then down to the clubs and grass roots training. 2. In many sports tv income is also distributed as above. What has happened to date with the income from the GPs, World Cup etc. It seems that a lot has gone to the FIM who appear to pay nothing, or very little, back to the BSPA. What major sponsors, that many were told would back the sport if it was shown on tv, have been signed up. What has happened to all the money received by the clubs from selling the tv rights to Sky. All of the above income and possible income has been wasted. It is about time all the national federations got together and either demanded money from the FIM or joined an organisation that would share out the income in a fairer way, this could then help the clubs and finance grass roots plans. The GPs are a prime example where they have limited top weekend meetings, but appear to put very little back into the sport. Posts above have mentioned wanting International tests, and I would agree that for the youngsters they would be good, but they need to be financed. Major International test meetings do not happen any more due to the lack of time available in the season and the demands for the top riders to be in the GP meetings and riding in multiple countries. Other posts above and on other threads have mentioned the lack of fans attending Bydgoszcz for both the World Cup and GP. There appears to be a lot of ill feeling towards the FIM by the Polish and if they continue to insist that from next year any rider signing up for the SEC will not be allowed to ride in the GPs there could be major breakups and boycotts. Because of what appears to be the inability of the BSPA to have gained any benefits from the GPs etc, and wasted income from the GB tv rights, I cannot see how they are going to finance any 5 year plan with all the people that would be needed to plan and run it, to finance the training and test matches here and abroad which many have stated are needed to bring on British youngsters.
