TB1

The sport has given itself a shot in the arm. Another large dose of morphine!

Question for Sheffield fans on here. Am I right in thinking that apart from a couple of draws in the 70s that Kings Lynn have never won at Owlerton?

Don't disagree but hobsons choice when you don't have any competitors? Once again the sport has failed its customers.

Can Speedway adopt its own anthem? Something along the lines of 10 green bottles.

The problem with British Speedway is it's now a bit like school dinners. In other words, the crap they serve up on your plate on Tuesday, will be the same Tuesday and the Tuesday after that.

As you know Iain, we are very lucky with Speedway in this area, both with past successes and strong local media coverage. I was encouraged by Richard Colemans announcement the other week and as he simply said we cannot afford another poor winter. Look at Mildenhall up the road, their challenge against Cradley is off tommorow as they cannot afford to stage the meeting. Let that be a warning to all.

I'm a realist Iain, not sure everyone is though.

Unfortunately, some will require their heads to have a wobble. This team was put together in a couple of weeks through necessity. There are simply not enough riders to support British Speedway and that's a fact. At this rate the sport will have a day of reckoning if they don't listen to the likes of Richard Coleman. Mediocrity is not acceptable but the owners simply had to put together a team so deal with it.

Track sounds like Cleveland Park was in about 1989!

I don't care what the other promoters think. It's about they had it up them!

A good solid all round performance tonight. In particular the 5 1 over Kurtz and Harris. On the subject of the track, asking a lay question. Have we spent too many years messing around with it?

I can better that. Scott Nicholls riding 1 leg each for both sides in the Peterborough v Ipswich cup final in 2017.

Whilst it benefits us to have Doyle and Cook missing, unfortunately once again the sport has zero credibility. So important after Richard Colemans statement last night but what will change only time will tell. However, we've been here before and you cannot blame people for being cynical.

Yes, I have just watched his presentation on Facebook and quite honestly I thought it was excellent. He mentioned for my mind the most important thing about the oldest ever rider demographic in the Premiership. This is the most serious issue I believe facing British Speedway. Thinking logically, and forgot what promoters think for a minute. We have slowly been eliminating our rider base since 2003. Before long we'll have no boys to play with the toys and as Richard Coleman said we cannot have another close season like the last one. Let's hope he can sprinkle some magic dust on the BSPL meeting!

You old cynic Iain, you won so you must be happy lol
