Does anybody know when there will be a range of "Dad's Army" merchandise available at Peterborough? Who wouldn't want to be seen wearing a t-shirt with "Don't Panic!" written on the front and "They Don't Like it Up 'em!" on the back?

All that money going out of the sport to engine tuners... with absolutely zero return! I've never been to watch a Speedway meting to see how a rider goes on his newly tuned engine! Or with his newly added piece of "special" kit.

BIRMINGHAM: Erik Riss, Valentin Grobauer, James Shanes, Ashley Morris, Chris Harris, Paco Castagna, Jack Thomas.LEICESTER: Hans Andersen, Dan Thompson, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Nick Morris, Joe Thompson, Zaine Kennedy.

or Potatoes...

Peaked in 2008... The Chris Harris effect

Go to bed!

Just Googled it... especially for Alexander apparently... who knew

I thought she was a he Aleksandr?

Who's Sasha?

Agree with everything you say... except for the track, the track, imo, is a disaster! Also, just because things are run well, it doesn't mean they can't be done better, there's not much self promotion being done at Leicester, especially around the Championship success. Although the crowds seem to have held up quite well, it's not what you'd call great... or anywhere near approaching capacity.

What are you talking about? Iainb won't accept it, of course I accept it I have no choice other than to accept it. I was just asking the question why there was no Championship winning merchandise, specifically t-shirts, produced so the club could cash in on their success... @JIROUT very kindly came on here to explain that such merch was produced... even though I haven't seen anything that mentions Leicester are Champions and that he pockets the profits, fair play to him, and pays a rent to the club. You say most clubs, as far as I'm aware JayBea only provides for 7 clubs... by maths, that's not most. Can't comment on the quality but a lot of it certainly looks fine, more than than in a lot of cases. Would I sub out the merch if I were in charge of the club, possibly with clauses, possibly not... we'll never know because there's no way I'd ever sink any of my money into a Speedway club with the current way the sport is run. It's just that all of you Leicester Lions can do no wrong and the sun shines out of the promotion's asses and the racing is brilliant every week on the country's best track merchants have got your knickers in a twist. Leicester can do what the hell they like as a club, if they want to win the League and never mention it again, fine, if they want to sub out their merch and not maximise their success, fine. if you don't want to enter into a discussion about it these forums are the wrong place for you. You were on these forums last Friday begging for the Edinburgh meeting to be called off on the Friday! Slagging off Glyn Taylor. How did you feel on the Saturday at 7pm?

That's the fella... just testing you. Loktaev

Not so sure about that... Michael Parkinson funeral planning and Thora Hird stair lifts

Berntzon shouldn't really be there though.. didn't he only get through by the virtue of Tarasenko falling off in his last race? I know that's the point you've got to stay on your bike and it was his own fault, but I think Tarasenko would have acquitted himself better in the GP's especially on the Polish tracks. KK is just KK

He could probably go round in a wheelchair and pick a few points up from KK & Berntzon

Once you walk out of the one stop shopping centre from the north entrance/exit you can see the stadium, so just follow your nose

How do you think it's possible for me to order a Tobias Musielak shirt in whatever size I like in Poland for around £20? With personalisation. There can't be that much call for them surely. How do you think they can still do that and still be making a profit? Genuine question.

That's not what I think at all, it's going to take a lot more than merchandise to get the sport back on an even keel. I'm just wondering why some clubs sub out their merch while other's keep it in house, surely those that do in-house are not making a loss or they wouldn't be doing it. At the end of the day it's money going out of the club/sport... to you, and don't get me wrong, good luck to you, but Speedway needs every penny it can get at the moment. It's akin to all the riders pay going to engine tuners, when they should be running standard un-tuned kit.

Agreed, why would you make any obituary/tribute about yourself! smh

There's fixture chaos every season though.

It should be easier than ever to keep up with developments these days with social media

Was interested to see an ad on Sky Sports yesterday promoting The 100, as usual, but they were specially promoting the app, a bit gimmicky, as with most things Sky, but this is the kind of thing that Speedway should be looking to produce with its "broadcast partner"

Probably looked at the weather forecast

I think they're a Polish company that produce apparel for a few clubs both here and abroad, including Leicester (JayBea). There's also another Polish company I've linked to, maybe on the other thread. https://sportgangshop.pl/sklep/ I noticed in the GP at the weekend that even the Polish reserve and his pit crew were wearing their own bespoke shirts

Yes, I did mention that earlier.
