  1. With English commentary? (unlikely) 🤞
  2. 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 👍
  3. ... still waiting for the "wow" news ⏳️
  4. Hook, line and sinker... ForTITythiTITyeight... please just put me on ignore! 👍🏻
  5. 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 👍🏻
  6. Could have been worse... thay could have been covering a match from Wimborne Road 😉
  7. It put me off going to Oxford last week... I didn't bother in the end.
  8. Speedway didn't even get a mention here either! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3lq3l5gzvo
  9. apparently it has been in operation... we just don't hear anything about it
  10. 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.
  11. ... 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.
  12. Bewley different class tonight... but then he is, he's not going to have much competition in the British League this season.
  13. The foam fences do seem a lot less forgiving than the air fences though... I've always thought that a solid deformable barrier should be placed in front of the air bags, made from thin aluminium or something
  14. Agent Brennan, job done! He can guest against us anytime 👍🏻 😁
  15. Didn't he leave Leicester in an ambulance last time he was here? Brave stuff!
  16. The good news is... you've not missed anything 😁
  17. Why has the start been delayed,? I've just walked by the turnstiles and there is literally nobody queuing! Sun? 😎
  18. This one? Mencel somebody or other https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWtcIOHgHRs/?igsh=MWp0ZGU4dmJucWV1bA==
  19. Do we know yet how Thomson sustained these horrific injuries? Saw a Polish rider go under the fence on Instagram yesterday, I don't think he walked away from it!
