He is a Gooner though, he's probably got a freebie ticket stashed away!

Ruining 👎🏻

10 of us or 10 of him?

More likely to be the likes of Lebedevs

TNT4 appears to be on TNT5 at the moment 😂

I see that Sir Keir Starmer has written to TNT Sports asking why the Champions League final is not being shown free to air... you're in esteemed company 😉

No... and Robbo still "doesn't really know anything about it" 😂

I'll just throw this into the mix, could it be... throttle jockeys? I just watched the 2007 Cardiff GP Final on the Speedway360 show and the throttle control that all the riders showed on a 5h1t show of a track was quite unbelievable to watch. With the prominence of Polish Speedway could it be that the latest generation of riders are being brought up on tracks that require the throttle to be pinned to the stopper rather than days gone by where riders were brought up on British tracks that require a bit of technique and throttle control? 🤔

Any links for the peasants that can't afford HBO Max? 🙏

Anyone know when the qualifyings likely to be up

Just listened to the interview with Paul Hunsdon on the Speedway360 show and a lot of names were mentioned with the setup of Northampton Speedway, Lemo, Buster, Josh Hewett? (Shareholder), Neil Vatcher, one name that wasn't mentioned though was the Premiership CEO 🤔

That's the whole problem with it, it's no coincidence that the last couple of blocks of races are more intense as the riders that have been going well continue to coast along while those that are struggling to enter Elsie Kew (ooer mrs) start to show some effort... the system just rewards mediocrity.

At Football though it'll generally be the Police that delay a start due to crowd safety... you've not got Sir John Ratcliffe faffing about at the only 2 turnstiles open at Old Trafford scratching around in his pockets for some pound coins due to a lack of change 😂 Start time should be start time imo. If Ippo want to have their parade at 7:30 great! Just advertise the start time as 7:45, you shouldn't really have different tracks doing different things. If Ippo cancel their parade due to weather heading in (when that used to happen) did they start at 7:30 or 7:45?

Really? 😂

What is also unforgivable was the total wall of silence regarding any TV coverage despite their socials being flooded by fans asking where it could be watched. Complete failure by the hallowed Mayfield Sports Events!

Will this be on tv?

It's a shame there's no real NDL for him to get some bike time in.

Do you want to change the topic heading as it's not live on TV 😉

I'm sure Dan will be well looked after by Wroclaw and Monster... Connor Coles on the other hand seems to have been shamefully ignored by our usually benevolent and warm hearted Speedway family! I can't recall a rider suffering such serious injuries to have gone so far under the radar that it has.

Leave it @racers and royals... he's not worth it 😂

Unlikely, he's ultimately made the right decision I think

No surprise there, the surprise was he wasn't retained in the first place. Dan Gilkes reminded me of Chris Schramm last night, barely able to stay on from bend to bend. Hopefully he'll regain some confidence at Scunny after nearly a year out of the sport 👍🏻 Surely it was only going to be a matter of time before somebody snapped JT up especially now everybody knows how their teams are performing and injuries etc.

That may very well be the case, even if it is it shouldn't be, as in most professional sports the meeting "Start Time" should be the advertised start time. The "start time" is mentioned a few times in the rules in reference to procedure, reporting and appeals etc. yet it doesn't state what the start time is, parade or tapes up and it doesn't say who is responsible. It's so simple it shouldn't be an issue, clubs should start, i.e tapes up, at their advertised time, if they want to hold a parade lasting 5, 10 or 15 minutes prior to that, it's entirely up to them and they should adjust their advertised start time accordingly... oh and have enough turnstiles open to allow easy entry.

Yes, let's start at Caravan Command in North Lincolnshire... he's probably tied up in a wardrobe next to Harry Redknapp 😂
