i lost both football and speedway too, i grew up going to both as plenty of others did, so it's very much a mixed bag of feelings. i went to Plough Lane a few weeks back to have a look and was shocked at how much had been done in a short space of time, time will tell if it's a success or not but i wish the Dons all the best.

4320 scoring has, for me at least, made the PL Pairs an exciting meeting to watch for a number of years, with good races at the back trying not to finish last. the biggest downside i see with it though is when there is an exclusion/fall especially come semi final time

i would imagine Bewley stays as U21 reserve so HE can cover if there's an injury, as long as all riders have at least one ride

ditto

and makes the thought better as i've never seen his chat show

not sure that'll happen, reckon the clubs have the riders by the short and curlies after this year

theoretically, yes i think .. it's been a few years since he last rode for Australia and has dual nationality

but has a Russian (and Polish) passport i.e nationality

wouldn't be surprised if 2021 will be Woffinden's last season in speedway if he doesn't win the title. car racing in Australia maybe?

sure i've seen Kylmakorpi ride with a Sweden race jacket in a GP qualifier and he has since ridden for Finland in SON

i expect now Lublin is announced people with tickets will be contacted

anything to get the Poles involves i guess, so they can take over that sport too. i remember Diener at Schessell in '94 or '95 when Tatum won his first title, he was no spring chicken then! i've seen him at the Poacher in the last few years too

Peterborough Northern Star Ladies v March Town Utd Ladies today in the FA Cup, really good crowd there too

not a good GP, but the riders that are letting the pressure get them are at fault, not the track, they have the clutch. i'm still in the camp that thinks as long as you don't touch the tapes then you don't get penalised

heard talk of some riders spraying their air filters with something just a couple of years ago, allegedly helped them at the start if they didn't do a practice start on the way to tapes .. just a rumour though

i also rate his longtrack win in '81, incredible style for that size track (as mentioned by Dave Lanning in commentary), up against a good lineup but with a fast DOHC Jawa too

top rider and top bloke

no speedway but photographed 4 ladies football matches, couple of hundred spectators at one of them, and around 80 at the others with no noticable distancing, couple of restaurants, Brands Hatch, Snetterton, both no noticable distancing, couple of photoshoots, trips to London .. no problems at any

watch it on the SGP website live link, no studio or adverts

the only way i can see speedway going forward is 100% curtail where the big money (in UK terms, not Poland) goes. run it as a stable business first, not win at all costs, let the sport grow without wondering if teams will run each season, it's the only way i can see will work. BUT, everyone wants success and to win (at least at home), and some will be able to do that more than others, but if things are run strictly to budget it will give others a chance to catch up

but the other side of it is what if a stadium is not open and not able to give availability?

certainly doesn't seem to be any from certain politicians that like to play the race card at every opportunity

pride in the product is what seems to be seriously lacking across the leagues

unfortunately, i don't think it's as cut and dried as you make out

actually, i think i need to adjust this a bit .. will the OTHER PROMOTERS allow a track to maybe run some bumper meetings and cream off more than others?
