Another forum you've infiltrated trying to spread the Pirates gospel?

Damien Bates on the podcast didn't outright say it but indicated they had been asked

What's the weather doing up there in sunny Manchesterland? Was thinking of making the trip up, weather doesn't look great though!

I'll start off by saying I'm a big Tai fan and all he "has done". And that's the trouble, as each year passes without a World Championship, a credible challenge or even a GP win sooner or later you have to back up what you say you're going to do with some actions. For me, and it'll never happen in a million years, he needs to be dropped from the series if he doesn't finish top 6, for his own good. You can tell by his demeanour in the pits that he's far too comfortable with himself and seems to have an air of entitlement that he should be there, I don't think he does the GP qualifiers does he? Have a mediocre season (by his standards) get a wildcard, rinse and repeat. Maybe a spell on the outside looking in will be the kick up the @rse he needs?

Why would Poole fans be shouting at a rider who had taken a high speed crash to clear the track under any circumstances? What's wrong with them?

There's been plenty of passing for the minor places, think you must be watching the leader? Leicester are asleep at the tapes though

Damien Bates said on this weeks podcast that it's the FIM that say it has to be the national champion that gets the wildcard, i thought the national governing body was able to choose, so that must have changed at some point

I wonder why it's not Kim Nilsson, is he injured or something?

IRR again after 1 heat, risky!

Josh Pickering seems a real class act... it's such a shame that he'll probably reach such a level that he'll have to leave British Speedway behind at some point when Poland come calling.

Monarchs did a job on the Bears there!

They've been 2 terrible matches from Edinburgh on BSN this year... surely it must be better than these normally?!?

Perhaps your laptop went into sleep mode... I'm struggling to stay with it myself

That Frederiksen has rather an unusual starting position!

Just your laptop, mines fine

This could be all over tonight unless the Bears pull their finger out!

I could clearly smell burning rubber last night at Peterborough and then in the very next race Fricke limped over the line with a puncture. It looked like Nicholls may also have suffered one earlier in the evening the way he left his bike at the pit gate. It seems when the conditions are right (wrong!) at Peterborough they seem to have more problems than most, this must be rectified before next season

Yeah, so i understand. But surely Morris isn't moving up to Ekstraliga?

Is that moving up to the 2nd division?

Bomber to guest at the party?

Reading the statement this morning, call me a cynic, but what exactly does "use of the grandstand and track" mean? As that term is used specifically a number of times, the devil is in the detail and I'm wondering what this is actually going to mean?

Puncture for Fricke! Think Nicholls may have suffered one earlier

I can smell burning rubber!

No it means that a full 2023 season is guaranteed that's all

Heat 10 was worth a few quid
