Re our boys challenging Sajfutinov, send them over to Poland, put them on Polish equipment and let them practice on their tracks for a month, then see what they can do. In contrast bring Sajfutinov over here, put him on our boys equipment and see what he can do, would be an interesting experiment!

How wonderful for BSI/IMG that there are guys like Bill Buckley out there.

I guess they did what they said they'd do, it must have all been in the contract? Seems to me he was prepared to take the risk on the meeting and ultimately the hit.

The global sport, you mean the SGP don't ya? I'd have thought he's gone into this deal with his eyes wide open, if he ends up with a hefty bill it's down to him alone.

This wasn't my "moan" haha, twas my husbands, it wasn't a moan either, just an expression of surprise. I did attend the first two Cardiff meetings and a few WTC meetings, got caught up in the hype, before I thought about it all properly.

I shouldn't need to. Forget about it.

Well if you don't understand why then that's a shame. Multi world champs at that, obviously they mean nothing to world championship speedway supporters now ....... oh dear!

And thank goodness they do imo!!

My husband definitely expected the great New Zealanders of the past to be presented to the crowd on tv and interviewed too.

Correct, nice position to be in eh! Rely on revenue from the supporters of the event etc ............

Some good racing, a great programme, some poignant moments, pleased to have witnessed Shane's last four laps here in GB (fully clothed too!!), best of luck as he opens the next chapter in his life ...................

Parks has given great service to British Speedway, he made a big impression at Lynn during his time as a Star and has always had the support of Lynn fans since that time, he will forever be remembered for playing his part in one of the greatest races ever at Lynn! As a fan I was impressed that he got the SRA up and running, shame it has consequently gone by the board since he stood down. There is no doubt he will be missed from british speedway. I wish him and his family all the very best in the future, I'm pretty sure that speedway will take a long time to get out of his blood, if it ever does, so I'm sure he won't be lost to the sport when he goes home to Aus!

Various people have said this for years but it's still going ....................

That's what us British Speedway fans have to hope for out of this "Monster" announcement ......... as Greg Hancock would say Does anyone actually drink "Monster" then .................. how can they keep sponsoring motorsports without any sales?

Let's hope we start getting some "Monster" crowds back in British Speedway ..............

I think Holder has conducted his career pretty well so far, with a slight glitch or two along the way of course, he's calculated and I hope he makes it to the pinnacle, he, like Ward, has plenty of years ahead, I think and hope you are proved wrong ............

No it's not, there's a few early in their thread that have not posted on this subject before afaik.

Darcy has proved again and again he has what it takes on the big stage. He's a victim of Poland's GP rider rule this season, he needs to race in Poland to be able to race in the GP circus. He hasn't cemented himself as a number 1 in Poland but when he does no doubt he'll give the GPs a good go. He has potentially got 20 years ahead of him, he can afford to do it his way

Interesting to read how people are changing their views about the GPs from positive to negative for various reasons ........

What a hero Bill Buckley must be in IMG's eyes!!

Oh dear I hope this doesn't turn into another GP like Australia!!

How many darts comps do we see on tv each year? 2 perhaps? Qualifiers and World Championship in the same season, old way, best way

John Oliver could do a Screeny type all the way round the track wheelie, unfortunately he won't be there I dunno who else could rival Joe to that one?? So who does the highest and longest "standing on the pushbar" wheelie then? Who can lift the bike up into a wheelie the smoothest? Who can ride sidesaddle with no hands ............. only one bloke I've seen do that = Sebastian Ulamek I'll wait to be amazed .............. fingers crossed

Plaited I take it Hope there will be a wheelie comp of some sort

What's Jason Crump doing on the advertising of the event, is he in it?
