I think Stevelyric is correct on this one. It was often the case years ago that riders would prefer a slick dustbowl to a nice grippy track. Tim Stone often got quizzed on why the track was always so slick every Sunday at Newport and he would always reply that riders wanted it like that. I remember one year Stonehewer nearly having a seizure when he seen the water bowser going out with the tractors. I guess its safer for riders rather than a deep, grippy track. Who knows.

After reading Lawsons statement, though, I guess the rumor going round is false? The rumor I heard was Lawson called Hurry to tell him he was going to be late and miss heat one, so Hurry called him a few expletives and Lawson turned round and went home.

Maybe he is telling the truth, afterall he has been ultra reliable year in year out for nearly two decades now.

Don't think any team is winning the league with NKI and Bomber in there. Way passed their best at the top level now and too inconsistent. As much as they have been class performers over the years, especially Iversen, you won't win the league with both of them in the side.

He did, albeit against a very weak Exeter PL team in the British League cup if I remember right.

Oxford meeting last week. Heard it from two different people who never get stuff wrong.

So riders get a banned for going to get a scan for potential injuries or illness but riders are now doing drugs at meetings and getting away with it? What an absolute joke Uk speedway is these days.

Could be him or Zagar. Zagar is completely washed up now and I doubt he is cheap either. Has fallen off hugely this season.

Every year there are the same comments about things have to take a drastic change next year for the sport to survive in the UK and it never happens. They just bury the heads in the sand and maintain that a two tier league set up is the only way to go. Look at the lengths they went to in order to get Northampton in this season. One league, reduce numbers of rider per team and come up with a new heat format. At least give a try. Two leagues with doubling up and the same teams in town all the time with riders missing isn't working and its clear as day to see.

Sport can't go much lower surely in the UK. Remember when every night you had clubs fixed nights in the PL? Monday Exeter and Reading every week, Tuesday IOW and Trelawny, Weds was Hull and KL , Swindon and Sheffield Thursday, Edinburgh, Somerset, Arena Friday, Rye, Worky, Stoke, Berwick Saturday and Glasgow, Newport, Newcastle Sunday? Every week barring the odd rain off or one week gap.

Its sad to see Worky struggling with crowds after the 1999 comeback year. Always great travelling fans, travelled in numbers and who can forget the support they gave Stoney in the GP. The fact of the matter is that speedway is just not a popular sport anymore. The older generation who supported it in its glory days aren't there anymore anywhere for obvious reasons and the promotions countrywide have done nothing to bring the sport to a newer audience.

British riders making Denmark a bigger priority than British Speedway ? What the idiot is going on.

So thats twice hes breached his license and twice being returned to prison? And people think this thick idiot has learnt his lesson ha!

Why do all people who get banged up after being caught committing a crime, say its someone else's fault? That paedo on here was the same.

Good on him.
