Given the high rate of success from Red at that track, it was a no brainer for those with a reasonable choice. It is regrettable that speedway still involves such an inbuilt advantage of gate choices. After all these years a more even way of starting seems not to have been well thought out or even considered. Tai's comment that he has won three world titles without such a facility should not be disregarded. More often than not it is possible to pass if you possess the track craft or desire.

In fact, he looked as if he had not yet mastered the basics.

Only if they have appealed.

That is a very difficult word for some people to spell, let alone aspire to! Buster is a man of few words, as we know. Integrity - a Pointless answer if ever I asked 100 people which value to apply.

Difficult to make a sensible comment on such claptrap which merely indicates how delusional the man is. Presumably, Buster is too busy to watch the racing after putting in so many hours to prepare the track, that he is unaware of the poor quality racing that takes place on it. Must need a long lie down in a quiet, dark place to recover from all those hours playing Tonka King. Same at King's Lynn.

And thereby hangs a tale. A tale of extinction. A similar tale from all over the country. A similar tale from me, even though my team has not been at the top at all. Junk racing kills the interest of many fans.

Most of the nails in the coffin lid have been hammered down by Chapman & Godfrey already.

For me - Most naturally talented - Ward, Lee, Gollob, K. Moran, Carter BestEver - Fundin, Mauger, Rickardsson, Nielsen, Collins

Harris is a Living National Treasure of UK speedway ( he has declared himself so, so it must be true ) And he has won before in thrilling, from the back style at Cardiff ( albeit when he was a Young Gun All Out Racer ). Is that why he was chosen? And who did choose hi,?

He definitely looked like a junior but I would not go so far as to replace him with Simon Lambert. We have been told that Porsing has made massive strides during his time riding in other parts of Europe. No evidence of that last night.

The Dugard family does include "living legends" of UK speedway.

Spot on.

And instead of laying golden eggs, the chicken's stopped laying eggs at all. From a few thousand paying supporters to a few hundred in 20 years or so, smacks of rank incompetence.

It's a pity that Buster and his pals didn't give a thought to making the TV racing as exciting as possible to tempt in new fans. As it happens it has been invariably dire ( NSS excepted ) and a terrible advert for speedway racing. Seemingly typical - not joined-up thinking by the BSPA.

Jason is capable of bursts of brilliance but is so prone to injury, because of the way he overrides, that he never reaches any kind of sustained level of consistency. He has already peaked as a rider in my opinion and has failed to learn from experience.

He is truly a curmudgeon. A blight on UK speedway. A boil that needs lancing.

What a great new sport! Bring it here PRP Motorcycle racing. Passing and Re-passing - certainly never seen here this century. Call it speedway racing and doing it like that will bring hordes of people to see it. Light years away from what we get here and don't say it's the worlds best riders - yes they were. but any four riders on similar standard bikes on a safe track offering multi racing lines and opportunities could present it here regularly. Not the Tapes to Flag stuff we are offered 90% of the time.

Sounds about right. Especially that part about better racing on better tracks. Two essentials for the growth of the fanbase.

The only way forward if the essential revival is to have a chance of success. Further delay to a re-structuring may leave very little that is viable, that can play a part in the plans for 2021. In November of last year in the Crisis edition of SS it said vital changes were needed for 2019!

A ban for them or at least a huge fine. Or taking a few match points away. It brings promoters into disrepute if they don't all play by that rule "in the best interests of the sport".

Oh No! With the track seemingly sorted and close racing returning to Wimborne Rd, the value of the club should have soared to something over four figures. What's going on?

It's very nearly Game Over in the UK. Even one Big League will not bring in new fans unless the racing is improved drastically ( and especially at the AFA King's Lynn ).

I have to be careful with very spicy foods as they can give me the trots. It's a fine line between tindaloo and vindaloo.

The detritus will hit the fans for sure.

And that is why Tai is being careful and cautious over his own similar injury recovery, May not even be ready for the British G.P. And that is nearly another two months.
