I heard that as well. The system needs a tweak as there were to many green light go starts. I was told we used to have a system like this in British speedway years ago but it was phased out because the timer used was taking between 5 & 7 seconds.

Why is there no Russian flag? I noticed on the SGP site yesterday that Emil & Artum have no flags next to their name. Today on the top 3 presentation a Polish flag & a British flag flying but no Russian flag & on the race bibs Magic has a Polish flag under his name & Tai a union flag under his name but Emil has the SGP logo under his. Anyone know why?

Peter won't help you need St Jude. The Patron saint of lost cause's ( & possibly the BSPL)

I admire the fact that Jack Smith keeps going. But I have to ask why do'es he?

There's no reason to lobby the Council. They were never going to pay anything towards building a new stadium. I'm sure as far as they are concerned more houses on this land would be more to their benefit with more Council tax & a bigger budget from Government for meeting the requirement to build more homes.

More chance of getting a bus ride to the moon!

Jason Crump was named in the Plymouth line up for their match at Glasgow 0n the 2nd of July. The important fact is that meeting never took place so other than his all to early come back at Ipswich he has not ridden for any club in British speedway. It is my opinion that we return to his initial medical certificate from the incident at Wolves on May 31st. Maybe Crump/Ipswich should provide an updated certificate but we all know he broke 8 ribs & was very knocked about. We all know that injured speedway riders bravery/stupidity levels are questionable & we have seen riders carried to their bikes in championship events Collins, Carter & Tatum to name just 3 but this is British league & as much as it's our life blood it is not for a world championship.

I don't know all the rule's & regs about visa's & permit's but as I wanted to change a permit when I was very much younger & I was in NZ I was unable to change it in NZ & was instructed that I would need to go to another country to make the change to an existing permit. I declined & decided to go on to Australia as I had already planned. Still love NZ.

I honestly don't think the manager makes any difference. The riders are not doing the job. Peter love him or hate him doe's not like loosing any more than anyone on here & it's pretty tough to give an upbeat report when your team has lost at home again by 20 points. Whoever the new Manager is will fair no better than him until the riders are changed

There won't be any afters with this being on TV

I think things on the Polish front may be different next year. Whilst the top riders earning big money might be happy to race in Poland & one other league there are a lot of squad members that do not get to ride each week & I think the Poles plan might just backfire when those riders decide it might be better to race more often for less promised money than to not race & not get paid at all. Already Adam Ellis is racing in both British Leagues & I think when some of the other European riders understand that being able to race in British, Danish, Swedish, German & Czech leagues & any other events could accelerate their progress.

Kent bar Scott Nicholls were second best all night. Nicholls for me took rider of the night he beat & passed most of the Pirates on a night where he was ploughing a lone furrow. I spoke to the lads doing the live stream & they said they had excellent co-operation with the Referee for all the changes.

I have to put my cards on the table at this point. I only ever attend live fixtures. I have never used the updates site. But I have seen it when standing with others at a meeting & believe it has value to those who want to keep updated. When I am at a speedway meeting I don't have a programme I choose only to watch the racing unfold & only after a race will I worry which riders are in it. The Stream is also a valuable asset but again one that I doubt I will use as it is my belief that speedway should be watched live. So no I am not in an Army of supporters that want it all for free nor am I a keyboard commando that spouts off at any given chance with out attending a meeting. I go to speedway all over the world & if given a quid for each time I heard the phrase "I used to go to speedway" a rich man I'd be. See you all at Poole tonight.

I Don't. The updates site has been in place for a good while & it helps those that cannot attend to keep up with what is going on in the speedway world without charge. The live stream is also very important as a social media outlet but it's reliability has been questioned several times & some people with limited funds would think twice before paying for this service.

Would Ellis not have an existing CL average from 2019 when he was with Birmingham that should be used rather than a conversion?

Just a bit of concern about how much there is to play with. The average for the team is for team building purposes prior to the season starting. but now the season is underway is it not the rule that you can only replace a rider with one with the same or lower average with Proctors average being 4.20.

Nico Covatti, I know he said he did not want to ride in england this year but that was a while back. things may have changed now

I have never agreed with this. There are 4 semi-finals & each nation can nominate their riders to make up the 64 required & from what I see Slovakia have nominated only 1 & he finished 14th at Gorican. This event is to find 3 riders to qualify for the SGP series 2022. The biggest event in speedway. One man has placed all his finances into this semi-final & managed to make it in fourth spot after his 5 races & possibly a run off. But he has to be told that the host nation despite only nominating a single rider for the semis & he finished 14th will have a chance to make it to the SGP series, but thanks for coming.

Brilliant news for all those Oxford fans who never stopped believing plus Coventry, Swindon, Reading, Rye House, & Arena fans will be able to see some racing closer to home

You have a strong contender in George Rothery who I see has started really well in the NDL team at Armadale

There is a simple way to avoid track & trace. Don't download the App.

I think Eddies only problem is the long lay off, he's stiff & his reactions are not yet at their prime, but I'm sure it's all going to come back soon. I expected the Eagles to be dominate at reserve this season. The injury to Kerr is a blow but it can be covered by R/R at home but I think a guest away would be the best option. Masters has a wealth of experience & rides the tight Monmore track each week so I don't think there's much to scare him at Arlington. It will be tight but I'll take a 4 point home win

It's not even close. Bristol, Milton Keynes, Reading & Torquay United are all awaiting a new stadium from Mr Osbourne as promised. At least the new Swindon stadium is built & safe in storage at a Unicorn farm in Wales

I know over the years the R/R facility has been deployed at #2 for the most times. I have never been a fan of this as it is my belief that it cuts down the teams tactical options where a TS can only be used once but it can mean a rider can be used as the R/R & also as a TS if required for the facility. Kennett is the only one who can't take an R/R but if needed he could take a TS in place of Kerr (R/R). So using the facility at #3 or #4 offers better options later in the meeting than #2 who is packing up at the interval.

I'd use R/R at 4. You have more options later in the meeting than 2 who is finished at Ht 10 at home & if the name an 8 I think Nathan Ablitt will get a shot
