New Science

Must admit that I'm on the same page as you. Off to Warsaw tomorrow and my 2 nine foot Tai Woffinden flags wont be travelling. Woffinden has decided British speedway has served his purpose for him and he wants nothing more to do with it. Great while he was developing his talent, National,Premier, Elite leagues. British Championships, wild card to the GP, World cup final. But now British speedway has served its purpose and he's a World star then its bye bye., I'm sick of people making excuses for him, yet again he wants to ride in the World games because its good for him and him only,same as his Elite league cameo last year when he had a blank few weeks to spare us Don't expect this guy to give anything back to British speedway for the assistance it has given him in his career. He has all the excuses in the book for why he can't do a British Final, ride in the World Cup or do a training school,its all hot air, hell he couldn't even turn out for Peter Karlsson's testimonial , a guy who flew out all over Europe last year to assist him. He seems to think he is representing Britain by simply riding in the GP although factually he is more likely to sing Australia's national anthem than the British one. Chris Harris and Mark Loram may never achieve Woffinden's achievements but give me these 2 riders anyday, proud of what it meant to represent GB

Problem is there is nowhere else to take the GP

Note to self : hold the inside line

Best meeting of the season at Monmore this year. The score may look lop sided but the racing was the best we have seen this year. Fortunately for Wolves the positions of weakness in the team were apparent after only a couple of meetings and the management have been very pro active in making changes. . Think this result tonight may make the rest of the Premiership sit up and take notice. If this team can stay fit they could be real contenders . Only concern last night was the size of the crowd,. Crowds have not been great this season but last night there were noticeable large gaps on the terraces.

Amazed away riders at ZGora allow themselves to be passed so regularly up the inside. Nice race suits for ZG , very flashy

You are indeed fortunate to watch your speedway at the NSS. Since 2010 when the new silencers came in the modern bikes demand large tracks with plenty of room to race , ideally flat out all the way round. Unfortunately Monmore Green is not like this,its small with throttle control the major key. I would argue with anyone that Monmore green pre 2011 produced speedway racing on a par with any track in the country. Unfortunately this is not the case anymore ( Wolves own Chemical Ali Stevebrum will tell you different ) . The racing is now poor, riders strung out, mostly gate and go and 95 % of passes are up the inside with riders mostly visitors drifting wide, if you get one outside pass in a meeting you have done well. This is not a criticism of the track preparation,its excellent. The people I stand with now choose not to go on a Monday night because the racing is not good enough not because of double points, delays, presentation etc. This is the reason crowds are down at Monmore, you don't need to count you can see it with your eyes, although its denied by the management deny it. Although i've had 6 years to get used to the new product at Monmore I can't , it still narks me to Know what we had. I will watch less speedway at Monmore this year than any of the last 30. #crying shame

I thought having speedway at Lakeside on a Friday was one of the problems according to Jon Cook, if so why are they still running on Fridays ?

I remember in the late eighties early nineties a delayed start due to congestion at the turnstiles used to be a regular occurrence at Wolves particularly when Cradley were the visitors. But then again they were proper big crowds !

Don't worry its like that most weeks

This rule was brought in to stop riders barrelling across the centre green at high speed trying to make the 2 minutes time allowance thus endangering the staff on the centre green. Not for a rider at walking pace going round 2 feet of concrete to get to the tapes in full view and cooperation of the start marshall. But then again speedway fans love been sticklers for the rules

Leicester should have won this match comfortably. Without the ridiculous exclusion of Riss for putting a wheel on the centre green when going round the tapes to King packing up 20 seconds before the start of a heat to the farce of a five nil to the omission of Bates in heat 14 .This was a big opportunity missed for Leicester and Wolves got out of jail. Its pretty clear to see Wolves problem, at least they have plenty of time to solve it. As for the speedway there wasn't much of it, simply a trapping contest of which Kim Nilson was excellent. The crowd wasn't that great either considering it was a derby. Oh well onwards and upwards.

Another excellent season preview edition as usual. from the Speedway Star team

Apparently there were some who couldn't stomach all 15 heats of a free event at Sheffield last night.

Think they will only go back to Denmark if there is nowhere else to go or Ole Olsen can get a mates rate staging fee. The GP in Denmark seems to have found its level in a 12,500 capacity football stadium after coming down from the national stadium (40,000) capacity to Vojens (20,000) capacity. Unfortunately for BSI the only markets with any growth or stability seems to be Britain and Poland. I include Prague in that as it is full with Brits and Poles.

After the first 2 meetings of the year aren't Poole going to win everything ?

It was announced that no tactical rides were available to each team so some sort of format must have been agreed beforehand although I'm if a printing error dictated the race format then that's a bit embarrassing.

Surely KK and the rest of speedway must have twigged it by now, if you make the start at Monmore don't allow the home riders a run up the inside. If they go the long way round the outside fair enough but don't leave a bus size gap down the inside like KK did in 15, not once but twice

With fifteen two minute warnings plus 15 races at 1 minute a piece we could be all be out of the stadium within the hour,

I thought Sunderland / Newcastle was your club. Have you been to the National Speedway Stadium yet ?

Wolves regular crowds are at the lowest I can remember them in modern times, this coincidentally at the same time that the standard of racing has probably been at its poorest since I can remember.

Its neither any more I,m afraid. One of the main drawbacks of the modern sport

It seems every young person I speak to has the latest smart phone. People of most generations have money they just choose not to spend it on watching speedway

Sky get speedway for a pittance anyway. People should be interested in the product which is the sport,not on manufactured violence.

Can't believe that people believe that Sky dropping speedway is all about cutbacks . Sky get speedway for a pittance compared to other sports. Sky dropping speedway has more to do with the state of the sport than anything else. BT taking over may be ok but as with the GP and Champions League football, less people will be watching.
