Odds On

The track is renowned for being one of the best in the world, yet you would hardly think that looking at the last two meetings this week around it. Seems a normal GP track, smooth, lack of grip, one line which all equates to a total non event entertainment wise.

Thought it was a poor meeting, track was terrible.

If ever there was an advert why speedway has this follow the leader stigma, look no further than tonight's WC Team event, track was a disgrace from the very first race, tyre packed to resemble a main road, literally one line. Entertainment value probably 4 out of 10, Tai Woffinden certainly expressed his disgust at the track, not sure who was responsible for it(home track staff or SGP) but surely they can see no one wants a slick one line track, not riders or fans? Stadium was empty and no disrespect to anyone but seen more at Mass on a Sunday morning.

is it 4pts for a win, then 3,2,?

Interesting to see that ARC have put in planning permission for a greyhound track at the horse track in the City, surely this cannot be good news for the future of speedway in Wolverhampton?

Could they target speedway?

so do you think taking a drugs test is optional in speedway?..simple yes or no would suffice in your answer.

Totally different. The jab was always an option, drug testing isn't!

Obviously posting on here is like preaching to the converted...but lets be honest the sport in general in terms of actual racing/passing has gone down hill rapidly.. Classic examples are the Speedway GP's, meant to be the highlight of all the top riders performing to a worldwide audience, ye the tracks are in general abysmal, packed and packed so that they resemble a road surface, yet the outcome is a boring track, give them something to race on, not just one line where if you dare to look for grip on the outside you are punished.

failing to take a drugs test is as bad as failing one, end of.

it seems nowadays tracks are prepared to be smooth, virtually no grip, lack of shale etc...speedway is in the entertainment business and guess what all those ingredients for todays tracks do not give entertainment. Lets look at Saturdays Swedish GP, the only real highlights were the crashes. There will be those that disagree but todays tracks are basically made for the start tarts in the sport,

Jack Holder over 9 is the bet for me tonight.

if some think it is Terry Russell's fault/doing, if there were others willing to put their money in and save the stadium/speedway where are they?

was so good to see a Brit looking the best on show last night, Lambert was pure entertainment.

would be interested to know when people are saying they limped on, exactly how much they had on!

Well done to the winners

i'm guessing a few of you backed Holder to score less than 8 then!

you are correct on both counts.

rumours are rife in the greyhound world regarding Swindon Stadium, date being banded about that it is to close 26th December this year. Hope this isn't true.

is it really?..

is this meeting on Eurosport tonight?

an absolute fiasco in what is meant to be the pinnacle of British league speedway.

The banned list is there for all riders to see, if you use anything on that said list you are then cheating. I wouldn't want to be racing against someone who is using something on the said banned list I wonder just how many riders are tested over the course of a season or career, you'd like to think all riders are tested at least once a season!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone...so it looks like i have to pay for it, which is fair enough just didn't think i would have to!

Thank you for this, do you happen to know how much the subscription is and is it then available to watch on Sky Q....sorry for the questions etc - not as young as i once was
