  1. I hope he works it better than he did with the screen on Eurosport
  2. Just read it. A real Speedway "promoter" and how the sport could do with somebody like this in it's current state. For me, he flew under the radar a bit as a rider but as a promoter brought glory to what at the time was my local team the Long Eaton Invaders and gave me something to look forward to during the long close seasons with the Telford meetings. Was only listening to him recently on the Speedway Tavern podcast telling some great stories and with some great opinions on Speedway, if you've not heard it, check it out. https://youtu.be/7TY4fDm8gkA?si=7jB8Hq0UJJXQY-gp RiP Judge
  3. If they want to make SGP more like MotoGP they should get radical and make the GP's 1 race over 70 odd laps with all 16 riders racing on the track at the same time and have pit stops... otherwise leave well alone, Speedway is not MotoGP
  4. "Warsaw and Cardiff are getting a serious qualifying makeover" https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/speedway-gp-world-championship-points-up-for-grabs-as-sgp-sprint-races-debut-in-warsaw-cardiff I'm pretty much lost for words
  5. Makes my blood boil when I hear these politicians constantly saying they're going to "look" at things... code for I acknowledge your concern but absolutely nothing will be done about it!
  6. It would be nice to hear from one of the Administrators... if only to know they still exist!
  7. If it's anything like here in Leicester there's a hell of a lot of derelict urban land that these housing estates should be built on and thus the re-generation of areas before these building companies get to greenfield sites
  8. you've certainly hit the nail on the head there
  9. They had the pick of the league before them along with everybody else... Well, as soon as they knew they were continuing, still plenty to choose from
  10. Rider shortage isn't the issue for Birmingham though... they themselves said they had a "short" list of around 7 riders
  11. A great day for British Speedway, it's only a (bloody fantastic!) step in the right direction and there will no doubt be other hurdles thrown in the way but hopefully this at least sets a legal precedent
  12. Only due to a straight jacket the sport has put in itself! Crazy!
  13. I think the answer to the original question... was yes!
  14. What a terrible shame, probably a wise decision though in terms of risk vs reward
  15. New question... will Jordan Palin return to Championship speedway?
  16. In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Cotswolds underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team.
  17. The last time I went to a "test" match it was at Leicester and I think it was an U21 vs Australia... it was terrible and I left with about 3 races to go lol I think that was more to do with it being run at Leicester though in the bad old days of FTG and meetings taking around 2 hours to complete... they're was quite a healthy crowd though if my memory serves me correctly
  18. There are no "promoters" around like there used to be, I'm really not sure what the current crop are in the sport for. Glasgow are a forward looking promotion and they are the only club to put on test matches in recent years and they seemed to be a success
  19. Well an international test match series certainly wouldn't be samey... we haven't seen any on these shores for years!
  20. Seasons in the past would often start with a touring team from Sweden or somewhere...
