They are though... they started the season off as another Birmingham and have continued in the same vein, the only difference is they don't have the axe hanging over their stadium.

To be fair to the other trolls on this forum they're not too stupid to be able to read that they are banned from reading and replying to my posts... unfortunately you seem to be! 🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫

I hate to be critical of such a new venture, I really do, but there are some basics that need to be addressed and soon... The whole show seems a bit slap dash, they haven't yet once started on time! Craig Saul, as good and informative as he is at interviews etc. is no hype man! The team manager, the less said about him the better... but the track! The promotion may not be able to control many things, such as rider performances etc. but they can control the track and last night was the worst yet... yes there'll be the usual excuses, couldn't get on the track in time, the bowser broke down etc. but on each and every occasion it has been too dry and dusty to generate any grip for the riders and last night they had the added bonus of giant stones and rocks hitting them. BSN were towing the usual Speedway line last night in that we must be grateful that they have come to the tapes... NO! They are (or should be) a professional outfit operating in the top tier of British Speedway and what they're putting out, especially with the track, is just not up to muster and the "fans" are already voting with their feet.

What a pro 😂

... and the home leg... after both clubs have been dormant for the last 5 or 6 weeks!

It's not looking good for the Foxes now Thomson is in the main body of the team... and the track prep is nothing short of atrocious!

I thought they may have been, not unheard of the track being full of nuts and bolts after a stocks meeting... but just big stones and rocks apparently.

I'm just interested in the mind set of a fan that finds it acceptable that "their" teams' rider decides to race elsewhere and is okay with it and will happily overlook it while searching for other excuses/reasons. I just can't get my head around it.

Scheduled start time missed... again

Leaving the prep a bit late... ref is supervising, people walking around with buckets picking stuff up... that doesn't seem normal. Incoming shambles? 🤔

Yes! Yes! Yes! He's gonna win it!

British Speedway does not need our youngsters to gain experience from the best in the world, especially at Will Cairns level. We have a gold medal winning GB Team, that rarely rides in the UK, we have a recent world number 2, and a real contender this year for the title itself before Dan Bewley's accident? and a fairly recent 3 x World Champion, yet the sport has continued to sink lower and lower in this country. We need our riders to be turning up and riding for their contracted teams before chasing personal glory. Assuming you're a Pirate, I don't know why you're so happy to see your club, and cup holders, crash out of the competition thanks to no shows from some of the team members 🤷‍♂️

Just edit your original post and it allows you to edit the title 👍

Of course! So he didn't miss a meeting over here because of it? If he wants to waste his time travelling over to Poland for no rides that's his lookout I suppose 👍🏻

100% yes 👍 SGP 2 no rounds held in the UK, not even televised... and he stands little chance of winning it, could easily have won the KO Cup had the Part Time Pirates been full time committed. Why as a so called Dorset Pirate would you care what he does individually?

non appearing reserve heat leader not showing all completely normal and totally acceptable 😂

Signing for a UK club that runs on Wednesdays and signing for a club in Denmark is clearly a massive conflict in fixtures, but when you can just run with a facility... who cares 🤷‍♂️

Shows how entrenched the club vs country (or any other fixture) mind set has become within the sport in the UK that the commentator has been going on about Will Cairns in the SGP2 all night and Havvy was singing his praises... all totally normal and accepted, not even a thought as to why he's not riding for his club that provide him with a full league, cup and BSN Series calendar... should he wish to ride in them 🤷‍♂️

August finish in Dorset 😁

At least I think we can all agree that the Part Time Pirates defeat is completely down to Chris Harris and Simon Lambert and in no way attributable to contracted riders who decided not to bother riding for them👍🏻

The Bandits look well up for this tonight... not so much the Part Time Pirates, good of some of them to turn up though I suppose 🤔 😁

Do BSN have subtitles?

Is Craig Cook riding in this?

So would have missed the Poole match?

I'm honestly not looking for an argument @1 valve I'm really not, but what you've posted is just wrong, football clubs often promote from within due to an injury crisis, even from their youth academy, admittedly never because their rider has decided to skip a match to not play elsewhere, but it happens, also in cricket. Leicester have an NDL team to promote from. I wouldn't allow any guest or R/R facility for such absences.
