  1. Did anyone catch the “grade A language” from Thomsen that was apologised for? I was only half listening but thought he just said “scaredy cats” 🤣
  2. Thanks for the replies everyone. Glad to hear that Swedish clubs are generally doing well, and that things are better than I’d assumed based on a few passing comments that I’d heard! A very good point @JamesHarris - and us British fans certainly know a bit about that!
  3. I’ve heard a few riders in interviews allude to the fact that Swedish speedway is on the decline and that British speedway has benefitted with some big names returning. As someone that has only casually watched (and always enjoyed!) Swedish meetings over the years but would very much like to see speedway thrive, I was wondering if anyone could share any insights? Is it simply a knock on effect from crowds dropping?
  4. It’s been a tough, tough season for fans and club this year, in so many ways. So much optimism at the start of the season
  5. Funnily enough, I joked about the opposite - Workington were happy to go out for another heat after they got a 5-1, but not again after being on the receiving end in heat 13 I actually think we still would have extended the lead overall if we’d completed the meeting, even with the change in conditions.
  6. Completely agree, it looked a bit naughty from where I was standing too. It also certainly looked like there was contact from Cook (who was very impressive all night) when Nick hit the fence in heat 15. Really glad that Richard won the last race.
  7. They should start dismantling and auction bits off before the vandals turn up, I’d bid on all sorts of tat! Still trying to figure out how I feel about the whole situation, but going to Rye for the rest of the season certainly makes sense at this stage.
  8. If I had a quid for every time I’ve said that phrase about Arena ... well, I’d probably be able to build us a new track! It’s our s**t hole! And I’ll miss it if / when it goes. All this talk of needing to lose clubs to amalgamate into a sustainable league leaves a bad taste ... but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s in the minds of some.
  9. Sad day indeed mate. I’ve been going to Arena my entire life, it’s not just speedway and my club that I’d miss but all the memories I’m reminded of when I’m there. I can’t help but feel a bit pessimistic about the future of the Hammers at this stage but I really hope there’s some encouraging news to follow from the promotion.
  10. He’s 3rd in the averages according to the programme (8.40) behind Nick (8.84) and Adam (8.60).
  11. Hopefully - I might have a couple of newcomers with me this evening so I’m hoping the Witches put up a good fight!
  12. Decided to drive up for this one after missing the good friday fixture due to the weather ... hoping for some good racing and another win for the Hammers! Shame that we’re without Zach but I’d say it’s possibly evened out with the Witches having to use R/R ... would love to see a few points for Alfie tonight. Always impressed by the stadium improvements that have been made in recent years.
  13. Completely agree - very pleased with our new manager so far.
  14. I hope you’re right! I think it’s probably quite fortunate timing for us to be visiting. Still, much stranger things have happened in speedway!
