Not very often I agree with Gavan, but I can't understand how people have been writing Peterborough off. Bjarne Pedersen is well, well passed his prime but his gating alone in such a weak league will see him score points. All of their top 5 on their day are as good as any rider in the current league. Add to that Ostergaard on board decent equipment, and their a match for anybody. I certainly cannot see them in the bottom two unless injuries come into play. Take out Bewley, and I would probably take Andersen over any other rider in the league.

Have said it before but will say it again, it was an utterly bonkers decision to even attempt to run the season this season and this was always going to happen. Clubs going on hold, promoters begging for donations to stay afloat , riders not being able to travel freely etc. In a sport that , even before a hint of this pandemic, was on its arse with nearly all promoters struggling, what hope did it have with reduced fans? It was a crazy decision to attempt to get the season going and I cannot believe those in charge actually let it happen. I want everything to get back to normal, everyone in the world has in someway been affected by this pathetic virus and I am one of those who feel that we should just continue to get as many people vaccinated and forget about the virus and get everything back to normal . I am in Australia and cant even get a flight back home to see family without being stuck there until Australia reopens its borders and dread to imagine how many others are in the same boat. So seeing stupid decisions like restarting speedway only for clubs to start whinging about money less than a month in really is a joke.

NKI has been one of my favourite riders since Newport signed him in 2003 and he was an instant success - have followed his form ever since and was brilliant to see him make the top 3 of the world and also dominate the major leagues for a season or two . But he has had absolutely no luck the past couple of seasons and is picking up injury after injury now. He really needs to retire and get out in one piece. He is getting on a bit now as well.

Really?

Keyboard warriors? Hate speedway? Get a grip. I would say anything I post on here to someones face and if they want my full name I would happily give it out. its caused realism - many said this season was a waste of time starting and will cause more damage to the sport. It was a complete waste of time launching this season and the worst chaos is yet to come.

Andersen would clean up at championship level, he will clean up even in the premiership imo. Would much prefer Andersen over Scheiln.

No sympathy I am afraid - it was a daft idea to launch the season without being able to have maximum capacity and they wont be the first to stop. Its an absolute farce. Should of forgot about 2021 and planned ahead for 2022 - looks like Somerset made the right call.

Said the same when he first signed for Glasgow - on board good bikes he will be a prolific scorer in both leagues.

He had plenty of ability but i reckon too many bad injuries now which has made him turn desperate and out of control which is a shame.

Was he talking about his tyres or his ability on a bike?

You are unreal . Get a grip ffs.

What a crock of rubbish.

Are people surprised? Fans being charged to watch a professional sport when even at the highest level in the UK, its an amateur sport these days. Will only get worse as well. Time to knock team speedway on the head and change to grasstrack style events.

Pedersen will score pretty well at this level due to his gating alone.

Wouldnt take any notice of crescent girl - he is the sad old berk at Berwick named Dick Barrie. And he is , as his name clearly suggests, a dick.

Exactly what i mean - its ok if you want to tune in and watch your side away racing , but as a home supporter every week youd be better of paying to go every week.

Really? The sport in many peoples eyes, in person, is a ten quid sport. So to sit at home and watch it , a fiver is hardly un reasonable. Your telling me watching 15 heats of speedway in an empty stadium in the second tier of probably the 4th or even 5th ranked country for speedway is more than a fiver?! Do me a favour.

How much is the stream? Anything more than a fiver and its a rip off in all honesty.

Iversen wont be the answer ... too many injuries over the last five years and is on the way down rapidly now , sadly.

Dont tell Lewy that, he will be crying for months on end

Nicholls score suggests he wasnt really on form

If Brum offered to change the date and Berwick said no then this is a lovely bit of justice for the Brummies. Even with the clearly weaker championship line ups across the board, this Berwick side looks poor. well done Birmingham and its not very often I will say it but Laurence Rogers

As well as the fact that Belle Vue is heavily in debt, is it not?

Another nail in the coffin for British Speedway. Not worth that by any means. And they wonder why they will get sod all fans through the gates.
