  1. 6,500 each night, most of them the same people
  2. I blame El Nino (and Poole, of course) 😁
  3. Lewis Bridger also maybe looking at Flat Track... but who cares 😉 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZDYmhSiIws/?igsh=MTQycnd3NGlpa2lwbg==
  4. 1 wild card down already as Bewley will get that. And with some of the strange wild card selections in recent years, who can blame them for a belt and braces approach.
  5. Dodged a bullet there! Nicolai Klindt?
  6. It's either an individual sport or a team sport, can't be both, you can't have Haarland going off every other weekend to try and be Individual World Football Champion. Other sports like F1 for example pretend to be a team sport but the fans don't really care who the constructors champions are, they're only interested in the drivers. I can see Poland breaking away from the FIM and going it alone with Ekstraliga, there's too much money involved not to... Sorry, not really relevant to this thread, hey ho
  7. I mean if they moved Friday's to Saturday, would they automatically move Saturday's to Sunday, or just go straight for the 2 in 1 day? Anything in the rules? Or is it a make it up as you go along thing?
  8. The riders, with today's bikes, seemed perfectly fine with things at Glasgow on Saturday night, racing on a wet track, often in driving rain... the difference, they were chasing personal World Championship glory in an FIM meeting as opposed to riding in a humdrum league meeting in front of one man and his dog 🐕‍🦺🧍‍♀️
  9. Just watched it all back on BSN and Kemp was pretty hard on Flint in the first staging of 14, so received as good as he gave. Rerun was also the correct decision imo, they were still pretty close at the time of the stoppage.
  10. https://ukflattrack.forumotion.com/
  11. Should show some commitment to the UK then!
  12. Just do what I do and pretend there is no Speedway at King's Lynn... it works for me 👍🏻 They fell off my list of tracks to attend years ago. Been in the car park too many times as the meeting has been called off.
  13. Yeah, I'll admit British Speedway doesn't help itself with it's fixture (erm) planning, that's self inflicted but the BS he's pulled with Plymouth last season and now the last Redcar meeting are a pretty poor reflection on him... and he was rewarded with a testimonial meeting at the beginning of the season, just saying.
  14. If he's that Danish perhaps he should consider basing himself in Denmark. Like many riders, seem happy to base themselves in the UK while putting British Speedway at the bottom of their priority list.
  15. They may have to initially cut their squad size down but they can't be affording to lose their top stars due to injuries sustained abroad. It's the only thing missing from the Polish model to make it a real professional sport and it surely must be what they're working towards and they're probably only one big tv deal away from achieving it... Having said that I've just watched the ZG Leszno match, ran in front of a big, young crowd... but they didn't even have a children's race during the interval (with the obligatory rabid dog chasing them all around)... think how much that would add to the gate, they've definitely missed a trick there 😉
  16. Are they Ai predictions that they show prior to a race? Maybe it's something we could utilise when calling a meeting off the day before, a bit like when the pools panel used to sit when football matches used to get postponed... it got that last one badly wrong though 😁
  17. And managed to conduct an interview without mentioning Greg Hancock 😂
  18. When is Charles Wright likely to return?
