  1. There was certainly plenty of "incident" last night to keep folk interested even if the "racing" (passing) wasn't up to much. If it hadn't had taken them around 20 minutes per pop to replace the airbags there was nothing much else to complain about... they're certainly not going to get a job in an F1 pit crew with the amount of time it took them to replace the bags, they really need to be addressing that, I remember seeing the Birmingham track staff replacing an airbag in a matter of minutes a couple of years back, literally 2 or 3 minutes! Proving that it can be done. When you've had a 20 minute delay to replace an airbag, a 52 second race and then follow that up with a 10 minute track grade it's not really "fan friendly". Due to the tight, confined nature of the Plymouth track they really need to get on top of this issue.
  2. Prepare for a late night!
  3. The Plymouth track staff aren't going to win any prizes for air bag replacement! Pretty sure Kerr touched the tapes in heat 3 KJP looks a class act on and off the track Got to question Leon Flint missing bread and butter Glasgow matches chasing qualification for a competition he has almost zero chance of qualifying for and if by some miracle he did would probably miss a load more matches 🤷‍♂️ Klima a surprise packet especially on such a tight technical track @lewy got some good exposure tonight... money well spent 😂
  4. Will Ben Barker be exposing Rob Godfrey live on BSN tonight? 😲
  5. I would have thought an app would be a standalone piece of software to be installed through an app store and not something accessed through a web browser... could be wrong.
  6. I'm surprised elf and safety hasn't shut this practice down, is there any need for the flag marshal to be stood in the middle of the track? He ain't even wearing a hi-vis vest!
  7. That's what makes it okay though... something like Mr Dugards attack of Stefan Anderson though, all those years ago, was not pretty to watch!
  8. I've got to say Picko's opening (and only) punch was pretty pathetic 😂 All good stuff though and certainly charged the meeting and sparked a tremendous fightback from the Tigers 👏
  9. I don't as Speedway in the UK only attracts about 0.1% of its population
  10. Hey... that's the Knock-Out Cup for you 😂 Welcome to Speedway 👍
  11. I'm all for progress, but if it wasn't going to be ready for the start of the season, they really should have left it until next season imo... or at least signalled the change before selling season passes.
  12. Can't you set a laptop (or nuc) up and remote in using something like team viewer to start the stream going? All they'd have to do is turn the laptop/nuc on and switch the TV source to the required hdmi source?
  13. There's a story in the national news at the moment about somebody not being told information and the person who didn't pass on that information has been sacked 🤔
  14. Sounds like a Trump ultimatum 😂 Does Barker Always Chicken Out? 🤔
  15. LEICESTER: Ryan Douglas, Dan Thompson, Nick Morris, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson. SHEFFIELD: Jack Holder, Anders Rowe, Chris Holder, Leon Flint, Josh Pickering, Jye Etheridge, Luke Killeen.
  16. I saw him on socials the other day and he said "if" this is my last season... one thing's for sure, there can't be too many left for him.
  17. I fear you're right, maybe he should have done an Ivan Mauger this season and just ridden at home. I assume he's just building up a nest egg this season in the PL
  18. Nicholls? The guy's a legend and it was so sad to see him a mile off the pace at the back, don't know if he's still feeling the effects of his shoulder (?) injury the season before last? But I personally I don't think turning up with the mindset of "I'm crap round here" helps. He's always excelled on the smaller tracks due to his technical ability never so much on the larger "throttle jockey" tracks, maybe why he never really made it in Poland or the GP series.
  19. It's attitude and pretty much sums up the attitude of British Speedway at the moment that this kind of turn out is acceptable, like I said it's not the first time. It's no good turning up at tracks being beaten before you're started. I hate to name Scott Nicholls as another one but how often have you heard him say he doesn't go well around the NSS, his performance last night was I hate to say pathetic! Mon Apr 20th 2026 Belle Vue v Ipswich (PRa) 4 0, 0, 0 0 Mon May 2nd 2022 Belle Vue v Peterborough (PRa) 2 1, R, 1 2 Mon Jul 25th 2022 Belle Vue v Peterborough (PRb) 4 0, 1', 1, 1 3 +1 Mon May 31st 2021 Belle Vue v Peterborough (PRa) 4 1, 2', 0, 3 6 +1 Mon Aug 9th 2021 Belle Vue v Peterborough (PRb) 4 0, 1, 2, 2 5 Mon Oct 11th 2021 Belle Vue v Peterborough (PRPO) 4 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1' 14 +1
  20. Not the first time he's done that, I commented on it when he used to ride for Leicester. You get the feeling that if he took the sport seriously (difficult I know) is that he could be a far far better performer than he already is, a Floppy Norris/Jason Doyle type, maybe not to Doyley standards but certainly Floppy. He seems happier to be a better than average journeyman than and clean up in the CL to supplement his bread and butter of being a plasterer. I think one of the main reasons may be, as you've mentioned many times, the lack of jeopardy... Ippo are in town! Come and see them! What's at stake? Well, nothing much really, it's just a qualifier But they may not qualify! It's almost impossible for them not to qualify They're the current league champions! But there's only 3 of those riders are in the team this year Okay come and see Tom Brennan & Tobias Musielak then! I'll catch them next time Ippo are in town, for the B fixture, a KO Cup tie or a play off tie... or any number of times over the course of this season as a guest rider Oh don't bother then! Okay 👍
  21. If you're using the BSN app, yes, if you're watching it on a TV web browser, no, BSN keep saying it's likely/probably/possible that if you're used to watching it on a TV browser it will not work for everybody this season until the new TV specific apps are released in May. I watched the Worky match at the weekend, but not live, using the same setup as last year (TV browser) and it was fine, so I thought I was okay, but last night watching live, TV browser again, it crashed out twice, so I switched to watching it through my phone streamed/mirrored to my TV.
  22. Watched it live tonight and my android browser did not like it, was okay for the Worky match but I didn't watch that live... mirrored it from my phone in the end. Not ideal, but the new TV apps are coming soon apparently
