Shame it's on a Monday evening, I'll still try an get up though, generally worth it at the NSS

I always find listening to commentary of Tennis on the radio completely pointless... although silence on the radio doesn't work well either

It was Colin Martin... I always like his style, for video at least, was never polished enough for TV imo

Is it available on Google Podcasts?

I actually did ask them about this and whether they'd be available during the winter with a "season" pass... the reply was "The season pass will run until 31st October". Which of course means that you may miss the Play Off Finals

Scott Nicholls also did a few, only available on YouTube though i think, is that the speedway chat show? Not sure. Speedway Social's Super Seven is another

Greg Hancock does/did one. I've listened to a couple with Erik Gundersen and Per Jonsson and they were pretty good. Reel45

they did like a greasy burger and chips from the burger van back in the day

Almost as daft as running a POSF on the same day as the SoN Final

Done!

But apart from that... spot on

unlikely... Good Friday is a big day for League Speedway

I think it's usually on YouTube if you give it a search https://youtu.be/v4e3aD8WZC4

It seems a strange one that The Queen can honour Mort but nobody in Speedway or at Belle Vue can... And I bet The Queen has never been to the NSS!

I've just listened to part 2 of his interview on the 5-1 speedway show where he goes into detail about the NSS, which is why I posted this. Without Mort & Gordon there would be no NSS.

Why do they always feel the need to back speedway with generic rock music in these reports? So 1980's

Probably my favourite place to watch Speedway from... But it's rather unimaginatively named. I know there's a Peter Craven Suite in the main stand but is there anything to commemorate the 2 men responsible for actually making the NSS happen? How about a Chris Morton Stand and Dave Gordon Pit Building? Mort is a legend of the club and doesn't seem to have any recognition. It seems strange that Peter Craven gets all of the accolades yet Mort and the other PC get nowt (that I know of)

Alex Harkess was the one for me, he was the one sat in charge during the Sky years and ran the sport into the ground

He needs to be fit for the upcoming tobogganing season

To be fair to Buster (which I hate to be ) he was only doing what Football managers do up and down the country on the touch line week in week out. Or a Toto Wolff, perhaps Toto had seen this programme prior to going to Abu Dhabi. Maybe Buster was playing up to the cameras a bit.

It was only pretty depressing because that's the slant the BBC wanted to put on it with their funeral music sound track. Compare that with the razzmatazz coverage from Sky only a few years later.

NO! I won't have that... you're forgetting Tennis

Or Artem Laguta for that matter...

There's a couple of podcasts out in the ether with Martin being interviewed, they make for very interesting listening

Only by himself maybe... I remember reading an interview with him once where he said it never occurred to him that he wasn't going to be world champion. I also remember reading an interview with Martin Vaculik after he won his first GP and he was going on about how he wanted to emulate Tony Rickardsson, although he's a pretty decent rider he's quite a way off TR standards at the moment.
