Is this a vision of the future at British Speedway tracks? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8880600

Unlikely as he get's 80% of his commentary content from here and Twitter It's racers and royals who keeps people informed on here

I went to Glasgow for the PO Final last year and from the moment you turn up at the stadium it feels like you're going to be watching a professionally run sport, it's the standard all other clubs should be aiming for... it's just a shame they can't make it pay! I went to the first GP at Hackney and started off by standing on one of the "grass banks" until being moved on... then the best viewing position I could find was actually below the track and we stood there looking up at it, never went again. They should have called themselves the London White Elephants

The presenters have both been on Twitter indicating they will... but as we all know that's no guarantee

Isn't that how Sam Ermolenko pronounces Woryna?

Yes they have haven't they, for a dragon, yet they still call themselves Rebels? Is there a connection between Rebels and Dragons?

I was trying to be funny... with a touch of irony, you take me far too seriously

Contribution? His contribution has been to ask questions about what's going on with televised meetings and certain rules etc. Then about as decisive as Katie Perry with tonight's meeting You can't come on here and have a free ride just because you're employed by a bunch of clowns Let's not forget we're paying customers. To be honest I'm not that fussed whether it's on or not, it's been Speedway overload this week anyway. I find it quite funny actually we've all worked for useless companies/bosses. Eurosport's coverage is still the big unanswered question, can a leopard ever change its spots?

Flexible? I'd go for random or chaotic

I can appreciate all you say, all I'm saying is I think he was a bit quick in throwing the bike away, it wasn't as if he was near the fence, didn't even try to regain control of the bike, just threw it at the nearest rider

I don't know if you noticed but it did end up in carnage. If he'd held on to it a bit longer and tried to lay it down it may have been avoided. He decided to just throw his bike at Bellago instead though

After the news regarding the NFL Washington R words and Rugby Union C words "having" to drop their club emblems, should Speedway take a look at itself? Ipswich W words Poole P words Somerset R words Birmingham B words Berwick B words Edinburgh M words Kent K words & R words Armadale D words Isle of Wight W words Plymouth G words

Very disappointed in Sam last night, I think he nailed the pronunciation of Woryna every single time I thought the Russian was a bit quick to let go of the bike. Well done Robert Lambert, European Champion

You've also got to factor in the weather... and quarantine... and the airline going bust... and dangerous tracks... and electrical fires Good luck!

I wouldn't bank on it... he's often on here asking what's going on

Maybe time to rename the League to "Elite League"... oh hang on a minute, they already tried that

In the UK the team changes tend to be dictated by team points limits and transfer deadlines not necessarily a riders performance, hence 2 average riders performing quite well could be dumped for a "heat leader" and a 2 point reserve to make up the numbers

Yes, he really wanted it that night, it was the only place to be on the track though at that stage with Cookie hugging the line to hand Kingy the title

Obviously none of us know what the BSPA have or haven't done or how hard they have tried to get Speedway on this season but we can see by their actions that they have left the riders high and dry with no contingency plan. Once the league programme was cancelled an intention to run a meaningful series of individual meetings for British riders should have been announced, a far more flexible solution than a whole league programme.

I don't know that I've ever seen Dudek make a genuine pass on anybody, he seems to have a nice style, maybe doesn't move around on the bike enough. Danny King is another rider who has a nice style but never seems to pass anybody

Do you really expect BLM supporters to turn up at "White City"

I wouldn't hold F1 up as an example of how to "take a knee" it's been a complete shambles for them. Football has had "the benefit" of "taking a knee" behind closed doors and the TV companies turn the sound down while they do it, it'll be interesting to hear the crowd reaction if they ever open the terraces up again, most crowds can't keep quite for a minutes silence for respect when somebody has died... hence the modern day 1 minutes applause. Personally I can't be doing with these grand gestures of taking a knee to demand equality and then driving down to the bank in their Ferrari's to deposit their £250,000 a week wages.

I think if you're running a sport to the paying public then yes the public do deserve an explanation

Perhaps they should, Rybnik wouldn't be the whipping boys everywhere they go and we might get to see some closer matches I love an hour's sun delay at Leicester I don't know what the drainage is like at Leszno but I have only seen one track where that meeting would have had a chance of going ahead and that was Odsal What else would they put on?

Only if you pronounce it 5 different ways in the same race ... And we wouldn't whinge... We'd laugh
