I often say that being a fan on the terraces at a tv meeting means you are effectively a TV extra, except you've paid for the privilege.

First chance to have a look at Nagal and very impressed so far

James Wright

I get the impression him and people at Cradley parted on bad terms (this goes back to when they were at Monmore), hence he seems to want revenge. He's been very vocal in his criticism of the sport and tbe BSPL in particular and, while much of what he says has merit, he's not always the most diplomatic

Yes, and I suspect his attempts at sabotage won't just be aimed at Cradley, but other clubs around the UK as well

Good to hear positive news with Buxton and Mildenhall, along with potential for Cradley as well, although the latter is laced with worry about rumours I've heard of an individual trying to sabotage it

One thing you can never accuse Tai of is being shy about publicity for himself, and him being back in the GP a year after almost losing his life will undoubtedly generate headlines (at least in the short run). Id wager that more non speedway fans have heard about him than they have of Zmarzlik. On recent form? He should not be near the GP. No title or even gp win since 2018, and his last three attempts have seen him finish 8th, 11th and 18th. Plus he won't have ridden competitively for the best part of 18 months by the time the 2026 season gets underway. Worth remembering 20 years ago, Tony Rickardsson had a completely unsatisfactory end to a successful world championship career as well If he proves us wrong and has a strong season, with a top 6 finish and one or two wins, brilliant. But the odds are heavily stacked against him.

"Ryan Douglas looks like he's limping". Well he does have a steel shoe on Ollie.....listening to Tatum each week must be scrambling his brain.

Looked like he was more interested in picking which of his riders to pin up against the dressing wall first.

Someone like Peter Adams would have likely snatched their phones off them and chucked over the back fence.

Professional performance from Ipswich and simply taken advantage of a Leicester team that have turned up with completely the wrong attitude for a final. If we still have a Premiership next season and Leicester are in it, I suspect quite a few of these riders won't be there.

Totally agree. Problem is Tatum is like a dog with a bone when there's a decision he doesn't agree with.

Monster's influence and the publicity they hope it generates must be the reason for Tai's involvement. Even allowing for his injuries, we saw nothing in 2024 to warrant his place in the GP again

Rider control would be a good move, but that of course depends on who exactly has their finger on the button to decide who goes where. So many ideas in British Speedway over the years Ive been watching have been good in theory, but quickly tumbled into a shambles because self interest gets in the way.

Feels like the end of the season can't come soon enough across the board now. Two Premiership semi finals so far that have been as enjoyable as lying on the ground while someone stamp on your balls for two hours, and this one has been no better. If ever there was a clear sign that British Speedway is completely stale, then this is it. Never mind Harry Redknapp, it needs Harry Houdini to sort this out
