Cardiff 2018 21st July

The best moment : Lindgren sitting in his pits and spouting something foul-mouthed at the camera. The new Nicki Pedersen, without the charisma -
Leicester Lions 2018

Although I have heard that from now until the end of the season, only one piece of music will be played at Beaumont Park. Rip it up and Start Again, by Orange Juice -

So does anybody know when the 2018 Leicester press & practice, and meet the riders event is happening? -
NO WORD FROM THE BSPA

My bad I think probably David Davis - the great (former) Brexit Secretary -
NO WORD FROM THE BSPA
Hamish McRaker replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Crisis? What crisis? Everything's great. It's going fine. David Davies coming in to take over. -
And I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's just what has been going on recently. Don't be surprised if there is a change soon!

It might be sooner than that?

Allowing two clubs to change race night in order to allow them to continue in business is considered to be unworkable. Allowing one club to do it, could work. But it still needs a bit of co-operation, and some favours to be called-in.

It's looking like RH has been thrown out of the Balloon in order to help BV to stay in it, and by so doing keep it in the sky. But it still resembles the one from the Cider advert, scraping the rooftops with Buster at the controls.

You have not included the second part of Cook's statement. Naughty. -
The continuing decline of Speedway
Hamish McRaker replied to wealdstone's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Start with a top league of 6 clubs.(Super Six) Glasgow, Belle Vue, Sheffield, Wolverhampton, Ipswich, Poole. These are a combo of big cities, and well-established Speedway venues. It runs on Thursdays ONLY. Each team plays the other once home and once away. Grand 2-legged final between top two sides. Five-man teams, with a No.6 rider who can be brought in as a substitute either tactically or injury replacement. Below this level, a national competition having no race night restrictions, with the Super Six clubs also eligible to take part. This could possibly be organised on a split north/south sections basis. -
Incredible. Having lost one idiot promoter it sounds like Leicester may have now acquired another one. Is Mr Darcy the roly-poly fella wearing black who was around the pits area at Wolverhampton at the TV match last week? Instead of making snide comments about supporters having the barefaced cheek to discuss the team, he might be better advised to get some exercise and cut down on the pies intake.

If the BSPA has become incapable of functioning properly then is it now down to the structure above it, to intervene and take over running the sport? As the SCB and BSPA are almost identical entities, then it would it be for the ACU to take action, backed by the FIM?

The only thing in need of chopping at Leicester, is the stuff growing out of Hans Andersen's face. Calling it a beard is an insult to beards. There must be a decent barber near Beaumont Park, the Leicester management ought to call him in. -
Race Nights - What do you think so far?
Hamish McRaker replied to Trevor's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Out of the 80 who I guessed as being probables, not many would be involved in those meetings -
Race Nights - What do you think so far?
Hamish McRaker replied to Trevor's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I think there would be about 80 riders from the current teams lists who would take the "no Poland" pledge, as long as they had assurances of sufficient UK matches -
World Championship Pairs
Hamish McRaker replied to Mark's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
So there we have it. Complete faith in Robert Lambert to finish at least third, even when he was in fourth place from early on. No expectation for Woffinden to do anything but forge ahead. No expectation for him to check on the race situation behind him and respond accordingly. Was this strategy based in part on Robert having got past Janowski a few races previously? As to who decided on the strategy, who knows and who cares? Interesting that in Woffinden's statement (and this observation has nothing to do with the above in case anyone construes othwerwise).... in the list of key people he pays tribute to, one name is missing..... -

I think we might have to wait for Rosco's book before we know the real answer to this baffling mystery
