It could and should have been so much better than it was though, unfortunately the PL was just a continuation of their CL years.

SHEFFIELD: Jack Holder, Anders Rowe, Josh Pickering, Justin Sedgmen, Chris Holder, Lewis Kerr, Leon Flint. LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson. Any idea of admission for this as there's a junior match on afterwards. Not sure whether to come or watch the Bummies on tv š¤

SGP 3 Final Prague Friday 30th May
IainB replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
beginning to despair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Sounds like he didn't lose £100k he did not earn £100k, they're very different things. Lost earnings, although it would have been shown as a loss on that years accounts, he would have recouped the majority of his outgoings for that cancelled season when Speedway started up again I'd have thought.

Scunthorpe (35) vs Oxford (55) KOC. 23rd May.
IainB replied to szkocjasid's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
As there's no asset system anymore and some of these RS's are put through the mincer on a regular basis and most clubs don't seem to mind who rides for them when it comes to guests etc... I wonder if there's any value in having a pool of RS's that move around the clubs, like on a merry go round, on a month by month basis. So Killeen starts the season and spends April at Oxford, May at Leicester, June at Sheffield, July at Belle Vue, August at Birmingham and September at King's Lynn etc. etc. Just an idea -
Who for?

It's funny that the Polish commentators can get Lidsey's name correct but Mark Lemon can't! -

Extraleague Round 12 Fri/Sun 18th/20th July
IainB replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
I notice that when a rider goes down in Poland the TV cameras don't shy away from showing the rider on the track after the crash unlike coverage in this country or in the GP's. Always struck me as strange to not show it because when you're watching in person you don't turn away and start looking at people in the crowd, you're normally looking at the rider on the track to see if they're okay. -
Extraleague Round 12 Fri/Sun 18th/20th July

I wonder if he wears them during a race... too kool for skool š -
Has he got there on merit? Especially as there was nothing mentioned about GP reserve places being on offer at the British Final beforehand. It seems that particular qualifying criteria was decided afterwards. Personally I'd like to have seen the likes of Anders Rowe and Tom Brennan given those spots.

Is English your first language? It doesn't seem so, the only person to use the words you've quoted in the order you've quoted them is you! Come back to me when you've learnt to read and understand the English language correctly and maybe we can have a civil discussion. Until then stop bothering me!

I know you didn't say a return was imminent and I didn't say you did, all I said was that I was getting the impression, with some of the language being used, that it almost seemed a return was imminent and that maybe you knew something we didn't. I agree with everything you say about the campaign and the point that they are at and the effort that has gone in. I've never seen @R87 post anything positive about Speedway and while I don't share his view about it never happening I also can't get too excited until I can see moves are being made to acquire the stadium. Maybe I'm suffering from a bit of Brannan fatigue... I go to the Speedway and you're on the pa introducing the teams, you're then back on the pa with your NBNF highlights podcast, I come home and switch BSN on and you're commentating on that, I go to listen to my Speedway podcasts and you're on them all at one time or another, I watch the GP and I can hear you introducing the riders, I come on here and you're posting, I switch the radio on and your yelling "Pets in a Pickle" in my ear during the ad breaks!!! It seems like you're almost omnipresent in my life šš I'm joking of course but you do have a wide reach within our sport, so every time I hear the positivity I keep asking myself how can the stadium be purchased, especially while "land banking" is continued to be allowed in this country. Anyway keep up the good work for all you do within Speedway and who knows maybe a return of the Bradford/Coventry league and cup matches of the past. šš¤

Ipswich Witches v Leicester Lions - Thursday, 22nd May
IainB replied to tocha's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Listening to Peter Facenna on the British Speedway podcast it sounds like changes maybe afoot or... business as usual! -
Maths was never my strong point š I wonder how that compared to the rent at PB?

Steady didn't look too impressed with that coin toss... where's that other woman when you need her šš
