Undoubtedly when it comes to the less experienced riders... but Charles Wright? Leon Madsen? There's always going to be crashes and injuries but what is inexcusable is having airbags and them not performing properly due to them lifting in 2026 in exactly the same way that they did when they were first introduced some 25 years ago.

Maybe down to track prep, we had a couple of fallers last Monday at Leicester as riders hit a wet spot on turn 3... not the first time that's happened!

Are they though? Not so sure about that, track records aren't being shattered by seconds, in fact many tracks have quite long standing track records. A lot got broken in 2023 but only by fractions of seconds and over 4 laps. Also brittle or not, I can't see that having much effect on the design flaw of the bags keeping lifting.

There's an interview with co-promoter Tony Gaul on this weeks Speedway360 show... unfortunately, as usual, most of it is inaudible because of the constant sound issues on that show 👎 From what I could hear, Mark Lemon does get a lot of mentions.

That's a 2 minute time allowance and a complete race... bugger it I've missed heat 1!

Half past 8?

I love to see chewing gum in somebody's mouth when they're conducting an interview... classy 😂

It's funny how somebody who doesn't seem to have any malice to anybody and likes a bit of a laugh has their own topic thread denouncing them ... yet some of the more vile posters who seem to be able to post nothing other than abuse and it passes without comment... a sign of the toxic times we live in I suppose 🤷‍♂️

Even his own dad!

Are they a registered charity? 🤔😁 You can expect £25 👍🏻

With English commentary? (unlikely) 🤞

A good journalist never reveals his sources 😂 To take the positive at least "there were more than 50 posters bemoaning the fact that Phil had gone" was reported... hopefully that will send a message to those in charge that on the whole his contribution to PL Speedway over the last couple of years has been an immensely positive one 👍

... still waiting for the "wow" news ⏳️

Hook, line and sinker... ForTITythiTITyeight... please just put me on ignore! 👍🏻

T1t!

Yes, he'll win it 👍

The lighting at Blackbird Road was better... and the previous non LED lighting was better! It's especially difficult to see during twilight also... but apart from buggering the track up worth a blank canvas and having inadequate lighting and team... everything else okay 👍🏻

Could have been worse... thay could have been covering a match from Wimborne Road 😉

It put me off going to Oxford last week... I didn't bother in the end.

Speedway didn't even get a mention here either! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3lq3l5gzvo

apparently it has been in operation... we just don't hear anything about it

Jake Mulford is the obvious stand out but also Vinnie Foord. JT's better score at home last night can (partly) be attributed to him riding an engine of his brothers.

... and Workington... and Scunny who had doubts surrounding their return... and Edinburgh who seemed set to lose their stadium a couple of years back (and who knows whether that one has well and truly gone away). And if you count going quite well, a league of just 9 teams and having lost Somerset, Newcastle, Rye House, Birmingham, Stoke, Sheffield, Leicester, King's Lynn & Ipswich over the years as "doing quite well" that's a very strange measurement. Poole & Glasgow are "going quite well", I'd say the rest are clinging on by their finger tips! Mr Morris also engaged with the fans, I personally spoke with him on the phone after the play off semi debacle a couple of years back. He set up the fans forum with fan representatives and I know of others who he has reached out to when they have been ignored by individual clubs. You may reply "what actual good did that do?" but as @mikebv said he picked and addressed all of the low hanging fruit, anything more radical he was never going to be allowed to do with no stake in the sport financially.

Yes, yes & yes 😂 Probably
