International Test Matches
IainB replied to Bavarian's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Easy to make a profit with other company's assets. I find it strange, and well done to them for doing it, that their sponsors stay on board when all they seem to get for their money is being tagged in on social media posts and exposure in the arse end of Europe. Once a year they'll get Bewley, Lambert and possibly Woffinden riding for them. If they want to keep costs low and probably still attract a decent crowd run some U24 tests against Aussie, they've obviously got the promotional nouse, they may even get more sponsorship out of it. As things stand at the moment I can't quite see the benefits British Speedway is getting from it? Having a successful GB Speedway Team has had zero effect on British Speedway that I can think of. Can you imagine the Lionesses now not appearing in England again until an English staging of the World Cup? -

It seems that the make-up of teams has no bearing on whether some folk will turn out on a nice Saturday night in the summer wanting some entertainment for their family... which in one respect is great and you've pulled in half your available floaters by running on a Saturday. Now if you could combine that with credible teams in credible competitions that would bring in your other half of floaters who are looking for more than just entertainment but a sporting spectacle. Hopefully then you start to build some traction with the media etc. -

I thought you only used to have a "facility" if a rider was injured, on FIM duty or doing some compulsory return... there really doesn't seem to be any reason not to have one these days, riders don't even have to be riding in another country just resting up and preparing to ride. -

King's Lynn are on my banned list, I don't got there anymore on the account of them calling meetings off for no real reason! -

Ben Barker riding shortly after having his appendix out, charging onto the track with a replacement bike for Nicholls, directing track prep... meanwhile somewhere in Poland, Klindt is sat with his trotters up! -

Looks like he's been at 2 for the Bandits for a while and been scoring okay. -

Was Trigger in for Hagon? Interesting that Mr Dickson placed him at number 2 though rode Hagon at heat leader 3 at Glasgow, did Hagon no favours at all. -

Saturday night speedway π€ -
What a brilliant Speedway meeting! Saturday night, big crowd, great racing, a competitive field, a wild card capable of winning the meeting, knowledgeable and informative commentary (1 of them anyway), proper scoring system and start tarts... it's how the SGP series used to be... I didn't even mind paying for it!

The new BSN lassie seems quite natural in front of the camera, is she from a media background? -

So what was Garry May saying there about Klindt? Something about using a reduced facility so as not to get Klindt a ban? Either a rider is "withholding his services" or he isn't, it's not for the club to decide is it? -
