And a person to edit it and rose significantly when the meeting was promoted with reduced admission

All this talk of highlights shows... history shows that Eurosport put zero effort into compiling highlights
-
Unless there's a get out clause like when sky binned us off
-
Highly unlikely... Cycling is a global sport, with at least one major global event happening every year for 3 weeks and millions participating worldwide... Speedway on the other hand, well I'll let you fill in the blanks... I do hope you're right though
-
It's a sport as in 1 rider competes to beat another... in every other aspect it is far from a sport
-
All that snow in Glasgow must be settling on you
-
I've had a good think about it and I'll leave my comments. I'll laugh at pretty much anything
-
I have watched Eurosport recently, I watched the highlights of a SEC that I missed live... and their idea of highlights were to just show the last hour again as live, so from heat 17 or something. Eurosport always have been and still are a joke of a channel
-
I thought it was the start marshall that was delaying the start in heat 1 in trying to provoke Craig Cook into having a nervous breakdown
-
He looked pretty interested when he chased down and passed Douglas in heat 11
-
Track looks very very wet
-
All looks good at the moment... Just a few dark clouds knocking about, should be ok
-
There's a dirty black cloud over the city... Looks ok up BP way though with barely a breeze

Not in Leicester it's not

Tell me about it!! All forecasts I looked at said no rain until after midnight in Glasgow... that's why I set off in full confidence at around 10:30 and foolishly didn't check my phone until 3pm when I was about to cross the border only to find out it had been called off about half an hour after I left home... I was a tad frustrated Still it was a nice drive home through the driving rain in the rush! Perhaps it might be an idea for clubs to setup a WhatsApp group that fans can join to receive alerts about postponements, instead of having to check the website or Twitter, especially difficult when driving. Why on earth we (as a sport) continue this seemingly every season with finals to competitions being crammed in on off nights on dodgy tracks in October is unfathomable. Also In these days of potential golden heats holding the 2nd leg of the semi and/or final is a distinct advantage and yet no consideration seems to be given to this. The league should be wrapped up by the end of September, any clubs not making the play offs can then hold maybe a north/south regional competition to keep their season alive with the knocked out play off contenders joining at a later stage (like the Europa League in Football). ... Anyway I shall probably try again on Tuesday, my weather app says only a 20% chance of rain in Glasgow

Natalie Quirk does other stuff for BT Sport and I think was working for them before they got the Speedway

I don't really follow the NDL but I assume that as Leicester finished top of the league they elected to ride at Kent first so as to have the advantage of running the 2nd leg at home, in case of golden heats. So why would they now agree to allow Kent to run the 2nd leg? But as they were going to turn up tonight without Ellis Perks, I wonder if they really care whether they win the play off or not... it's things like this that devalue the competition.
-
Yes, but those points aren't then totted up to decide an overall winner. Personally I thought the GP's were a lot more competitive when they had the 24 rider line up with riders gradually being knocked out. I understand that the riders probably don't like this as the current system gives a lot of them an easy time
-
He should get Craig Cook's lawyer
-
What about Green & Black? We've not tried that yet... It may just be the innovation that save Speedway in the UK
-
Who are the top 16 riders in the Polish League? You shouldn't really be looking too far away from those to find out the best rider in the world

Big decisions in November.

or the rights? I wonder what it'd be including that! -
