So did I. It's allowed. Actually you said it was a strange formula.

Again, tell the Poles. I don't care.

Oh dear, oh dear, iris123 pathetically seizing an opportunity to carry on one of his nasty, sad little vendettas. I'm the current target. This is a serious matter and far more important than a worrying need by him to bully people. I am so passionate about this subject because I cannot stand to see people just poising the sport with every excuse to spread doom and gloom. Yes there are serious problems to be faced, but that is the key, the need to be faced and acted upon. Fight for your sport and stop sneering at those who do. Anyway, now iris123 has stuck his knife in it's time to leave you to wallow in depression.See how many things are catastrophically wrong, what mistakes have been made, who to blame, how many tracks have closed and could well close soon. I won't be reading. Have your fun. Just sit there, proud that you were 'right' and just watch the sport die. - or just find a victim to constantly attack like iris23. I'm not the first and In won't be the last. Perhaps his isp needs to remind him of harassment policy?

So, the BSF message is clear, do nothing, put off anyone who does try to make something happen and look for someone to blame. And you people knock the promoters. Disgusting, ignorant negativity.

Of course we've lost more than we gained which is why we have to fight now. Or do we simply post on forums, try to show how clever we are and wait for the sport to die?

I was referring to the past couple of decades which eliminates half of those. So do we include Tamworth, Wombwell, Crystal Palace, Lea Bridge, Fleetwood and on and on just to emphasise the gloom?

Over the past couple of decades or so we have seen new tracks at Somerset, Leicester, Scunthorpe, Redcar, Plymouth, Kent, Birmingham and Isle of Wight while tracks have come, and sadly gone at Newport, Carmarthen, St.Austell, Skegness and Weymouth. It's not been all one way traffic. There is hope at Oxford, Coventry, Exeter, Rye House and Brafield (Northampton) and Workington's Northside track so it's not all black. Speedway can survive and sustain but it needs positivity, sound planning and in a few cases some work by supporters to campaign and things can improve. While stadia still stand there is always hope, despite the obstacles. I've sounded out about the lazy negativity on this forum but ultimately few on here will have any real say apart from being cynical to appear clever but I've been involved in a successful campaign to reopen Rye House in the past and I've seen others achieve similar success. People complain here about promoters failing to promote. Well, how about supporters actually supporting? You never know the future. Few would have predicted what we have gone through this year but if we are going to help the support recover the last thing needed is for people to pull out every obstacle they can think of. Let's see what happens and try to do our best to help. If I can do it then plenty more can....

Tell the Poles that.

So, there's plenty of examples of tracks that have closed and reopened so closure is certainly not always permanent despite the opinions of the negative doom and gloom merchants on here.

Could well be so. The assets ended up with Roger Shute and Peter Redfearn rather than Ron Russell so they would have sold them off. Wish it was fun.

Rye House closed 1994-1999, reopened 2000. There is a lot more of the stadium still there, rather than just remains. The work that the owner is proposing is still uncertain and would be reversible. He doesn't even know how much his project will cost!

Not the first time it's been used so they all knew the score.

Okay Madsen's picked up ;-)

Still, you have had the chance to just sit back and watch.... Top 2 straight to final, 3-10 in the semis so only 6 eliminated after 20 heats.

Following the recent articles on nitro-methane use in Poland this meeting is being staged using GP-style technical controls designed to prevent any fuel adulteration. On as separate note it's notbeen a good night for riders that have been having superb league seasons, like the Lagutas and Madsen, but then it is a very strong field.

They have the rights to Ekstraliga matches. This isn't one.

Chaotic end. Quite a place to get your first away win of the season.

Quiet afternoon for Tungate. Tarnow proving they're even better at throwing away a match.

Something going on off-track between them?

Lodz reinventing team riding. Andersen did seem over-keen to get round him on the previous lap.

Former Rye House Rocket. Can do no wrong

I thought you were going to fall out of your cherry picker at one point.....

Rawicz 56 Wittstock 34.

"Busted by the feds". In other words, Motowijza found it and had it shut down. Hopefully the channel will survive. There was another one that streamed Krosno last night. Hopefully they can fill the gap in the future. It's probably the same guy. 53-31 with one to go. Anders Rowe scored 5. Lidsey and Smektala both unbeaten by a Wolf so far. Quelle surprise!

Hard to believe Rawicz only scored 26 in their opening match at Krosno. Okay, they didn't have Smektala but they did have Lidsey, Szlauderbach and Balinski.
