I don't as Speedway in the UK only attracts about 0.1% of its population

Hey... that's the Knock-Out Cup for you 😂 Welcome to Speedway 👍

I'm all for progress, but if it wasn't going to be ready for the start of the season, they really should have left it until next season imo... or at least signalled the change before selling season passes.

Can't you set a laptop (or nuc) up and remote in using something like team viewer to start the stream going? All they'd have to do is turn the laptop/nuc on and switch the TV source to the required hdmi source?

There's a story in the national news at the moment about somebody not being told information and the person who didn't pass on that information has been sacked 🤔

I hope Connor Coles was sufficiently insured!

Sounds like a Trump ultimatum 😂 Does Barker Always Chicken Out? 🤔

LEICESTER: Ryan Douglas, Dan Thompson, Nick Morris, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson. SHEFFIELD: Jack Holder, Anders Rowe, Chris Holder, Leon Flint, Josh Pickering, Jye Etheridge, Luke Killeen.

I saw him on socials the other day and he said "if" this is my last season... one thing's for sure, there can't be too many left for him.

I fear you're right, maybe he should have done an Ivan Mauger this season and just ridden at home. I assume he's just building up a nest egg this season in the PL

Nicholls? The guy's a legend and it was so sad to see him a mile off the pace at the back, don't know if he's still feeling the effects of his shoulder (?) injury the season before last? But I personally I don't think turning up with the mindset of "I'm crap round here" helps. He's always excelled on the smaller tracks due to his technical ability never so much on the larger "throttle jockey" tracks, maybe why he never really made it in Poland or the GP series.

It's attitude and pretty much sums up the attitude of British Speedway at the moment that this kind of turn out is acceptable, like I said it's not the first time. It's no good turning up at tracks being beaten before you're started. I hate to name Scott Nicholls as another one but how often have you heard him say he doesn't go well around the NSS, his performance last night was I hate to say pathetic!

Not the first time he's done that, I commented on it when he used to ride for Leicester. You get the feeling that if he took the sport seriously (difficult I know) is that he could be a far far better performer than he already is, a Floppy Norris/Jason Doyle type, maybe not to Doyley standards but certainly Floppy. He seems happier to be a better than average journeyman than and clean up in the CL to supplement his bread and butter of being a plasterer. I think one of the main reasons may be, as you've mentioned many times, the lack of jeopardy... Ippo are in town! Come and see them! What's at stake? Well, nothing much really, it's just a qualifier But they may not qualify! It's almost impossible for them not to qualify They're the current league champions! But there's only 3 of those riders are in the team this year Okay come and see Tom Brennan & Tobias Musielak then! I'll catch them next time Ippo are in town, for the B fixture, a KO Cup tie or a play off tie... or any number of times over the course of this season as a guest rider Oh don't bother then! Okay 👍

If you're using the BSN app, yes, if you're watching it on a TV web browser, no, BSN keep saying it's likely/probably/possible that if you're used to watching it on a TV browser it will not work for everybody this season until the new TV specific apps are released in May. I watched the Worky match at the weekend, but not live, using the same setup as last year (TV browser) and it was fine, so I thought I was okay, but last night watching live, TV browser again, it crashed out twice, so I switched to watching it through my phone streamed/mirrored to my TV.

Watched it live tonight and my android browser did not like it, was okay for the Worky match but I didn't watch that live... mirrored it from my phone in the end. Not ideal, but the new TV apps are coming soon apparently

Club legend Nicolai Klindt named as captain.

I'm still waiting for a reply from them as to why they docked Workington league points last year... as soon as I get that I'll follow it up with this 😂

A shame he was the only rider who could be arsed to come round and acknowledge the crowd though... compare that with the BSN meeting at Worky yesterday where it was noticeable that after the majority of races the winner went round to accept the applause of the crowd, both home and away riders... it costs nothing

Well, as far as I am aware, they're the only organising body to have made any statement about the issue at all.

Nicely done 👍🏻

Did he get a pre-loved gown for winning rider of the night? 😂

Mine was fine-ish, the screen was occasionally going black for a split second, but I watched it this evening and not live. Android TV using TVBro browser

Mown, mown, mown 🤷‍♂️ 😉😂

It's sport and anything can happen (sometimes 😉) that's why we all follow it. I'm not one for making predictions as you can often end up with egg on your face and it's all a bit pointless imo, I much prefer to comment on what has happened. I was expecting a hiding at Sheffield last Thursday and unbelievably we came away with an 8 point win, it only takes 1 "decent" rider to have an off night, or the track to be not quite the "usual" and that can have a massive effect on the final result.

Not sure where I got £0.30 a race from 🤷‍♂️ But a fiver a race works out around £500 over the course of a 24 match season. But whatever it was, I assume it was a flat rate whatever your ability? Meaning the better riders subsided the less experienced riders? Seems a bit daft for the SCB to not be doing it anymore, they could even have skimmed £0.10 per race as an admin/arrangement fee.
