  1. Totally agree. Signed for Comets before getting a chance at Tarnow. Would rather be No 8 there than getting good race practice in the UK. Believe he is missing next week too.
  2. The cost of assembly/ disassembly of the temp track coupled with lower crowds post covid probably swung it financially.
  3. could be argued Speedway can't afford them now, he wouldn't be lowering his average if that happened. If something can be exploited it generally is.
  4. Can't really see how 6 teams would generate much excitement among what looks like a diminishing fan base. The sport for me continues to stagnate regardless of certain people trying to dress it up. The crowd at the televised Leicester v Sheffield meeting on monday looked pretty low with most people of a certain age demographic. Something has to change or I fear the worst. Seems like I have said this over the last 3 seasons as have many others but is anyone listening.
  5. Riders who win races and just go back to the pits really annoys me too, It is this aloofness towards fans that pay their wages that gets my gander up . Like you say where is the passion and appreciation of the fanbase. A lot have multiple clubs and are just interested in making as much money as they can while they can, least that's how it comes across. Not many give much back, wish they were all like Bomber .
  6. Thanks Normski much appreciated👍
  7. seems like this was not correct, nothing serious apparently hurt his ankle but nothing broken.
  8. Abensberg isn't so far away from Landshut so surely with no flights was he ever going to be riding Saturday ? . Don't know the relative Landshut meeting and GP Qualifier practice start times which may have had an impact ?.
  9. Worky couldn't get a guest for Antti today if the meeting had been on.
  10. Reported to have lost consciousness as a result of the crash and taken to hospital. Verification required.
  11. Agree! SGP Qualifier on a Monday and you can't ride in the UK on a Saturday evening what is it coming too. Is this an FIM ruling ?
  12. the weather down in the south west looked awful today, surely this could have been called sooner.
  13. The Monarchs gonna miss VP at reserve, he has been phenomenal.
  14. Solid performance from Poole's 1 to 6 won them the meeting, hard to beat a team with everyone chipping in like that. Flint and Howarth looked under par from what we have seen so far this season for the Tigers, that was the difference. Expected the Tigers to shade a tight contest especially with having Barker in for Ashton.
  15. Track was near perfect yesterday but wetter this morning after the overnight rain. With a better forecast tomorrow it wouldn't have been in doubt.
  16. Still not great , what other summer sport has such a disjointed schedule.
  17. Yes but are the SGP dates known before the fixtures are compiled? . If not they should be.
  18. I think it is the forecast for most of tomorrow that has done for the meeting, today's forecast isn't bad at all.
