Reading comments on here , anyone would think that the top tier (old Elite League) invented the doubling up (not down) rule. It started in about 2002 when two riders from Premier league clubs (second tier) could share a berth in the elite league . Their premier clubs always took priority. I feel like this had a negative effect on what was a brilliant model at the time (premier) with anything between 15-18 clubs for a while. This was the start of the feeling that riders weren't fully committed to one club anymore. The elite league being in such a mess at the time was the reason for this daft rule to be brought in. they need to make two leagues , have 5 man teams and a new heat format and go from there. Riders can only ride in one league not both.

Gotta be honest, thats one hell of an over reaction from you considering some of the stuff I have seen you defend on and off track over the last few years . We get it, you don't like Doyle. For me , there has been no better servant to GB speedway over the past 15 or 20 years. He genuinely gives it his all in every ride , is pure entertainment and a great guy to boot. He was having a rough start to 2026, went to BV and hit form. Anyone who sees it differently is either stirring the pot or a complete thicko and I dont think your the latter.

Smart and Lobb lived in Newport at the time of their failed drug tests although neither were riding for Newport at the time. Smart was riding at Swindon and Lobb Exeter. There were stories for weeks before they got caught that they were up to no good but it was was widely known who had grassed them up. A few hard moves by Smart on said rider during his comeback season weren't just random either lol. They should all be tested before each meeting. Like i said a while ago, I worked as a chippy in the mining industry in Aus for a few years and drug tests costed next to nothing. The story that they are too costly is a load of nonsense.

Bang on. The big stadiums were used as the old product outgrew traditional speedway stadiums. The interest isn't there anymore to fill big stadiums. Even prime Cardiff crowds were only just over half the capacity. The last two Aussie GP's were held in Melbourne and only filled around 1/3 of the stadium. It looks shocking on TV seeing such big events held with such a sparse crowd.

Sheffield's track used to be superb. Seeing Wilson and Compton in full flight around there was something else. What on earth has happened to it?

Weren't you riding in the era of Frank Smart and Roger Lobb being tested in the same week and failing? They were no random drug tests thats for sure, a certain fellow Welshman had a big hand in getting them caught and fined. And rightly so.

No idea, even if if was for dropping a fag end on the floor he was under rules and broke them three times to get recalled. Thats the behaviour of a lowlife. Surely, if you regret your actions and want to change your ways you stick to every rule they give you on license not break them ? He is a lost cause. Jails the best place for him.

For breaching his license . Once you can at best say unlucky (if the story he was staying at a birds house is true), twice is just confirming he hasnt learned his lesson but three times? Just an out and out liability.

Its alarming that he has been called back three times after his shocking crime the first time and people still think theres a place in the sport for him. Absolute madness.

I dont see how Garrity is less risk, hes been recalled to prison three idiot times in less than three years. Both are a waste of time.

Imagine the current crop of riders turning up and racing for free. Would never ever happen.

Haha back inside again? Recalled to prison 3 times since his release and people want to give him a second chance? He will spend the rest of his days in and out of prison. Scum like him need keeping away from the sport. That nonsense about him taking the blame for someone else is just people being deluded.
