Integrity Supporters to have respect from Promoters/Riders Two teams made up of riders who give a damn and actually ride for the two teams! Value for money More fixture variety - a way to make a bigger league work somehow.

That was rubbish. Nothing more to add.

The last part of this post grasps exactly why I no longer go. It also reflects onw reason why so many sport fans see Speedway as ridiculous.

Comeback on!!! 😃

To be fair the league does look very lop-sided this year. Poole and BV are miles clear and Leicester and Lakeside miles behind. The other 4 are much of a muchness.

Looks that way mate. Looking at the teams on paper, Poole makes us look really light.

Comfy home win. 12-14 I reckon.

Morris and Wroclaw his problem, not Swindon's.

S*d the riders. If there's a Swindon meeting they should be there. Too much bending to riders' demands has gone a long way to the sport being in the mess it is. About time Rosco and other team bosses stopped being pally and actually told them a few home truths!

What a really odd point of view. The riders are contracted to Swindon in the Uk and should get their jacksies to Somerset to represent their club. Swindon should not have let them get in the position in the first place. First of many situations through another expertly organised British speedway season I'm sure!

Habit more than anything. I also still get Speedway Star solely because I have collected every one - rarely read much of it nowadays though. 99% of the time I only look at "General Discussions" or "Years Gone By" sections. Watching any Speedway, bar perhaps the GP, no longer has anything vaguely enticing for me.

Couldn't give a toss and couldn't even tell you who rides for who. Speedway and I are pretty much done I think.

Looks like El Tel now realising it won't be ready this season. Latest soundbite is May start for build.

I guess North is working from home all aeason then?

Batchelor and Bjerre together. Let's see who can out-whinge the other. KL best hope for a dry Summer with those two in the team!!

An 'as you were'announcement. Nothing to see here.

Not Poole specifically, but the constant rule fiddling and loopholes are one of the main reasons I no longer attend Blunsdon.

Aussies whining again! Masters all over-excited like a wee boy at Xmas.

Brilliant meeting with a Pedersen win to ice the cake. Sadly the sport rarely hits such levels of its potential.

Hang on, surely that site isn't worthy of reference as it doesn't have NL details on it!!😨

Mike Keen and Eric Boocock both scored a max in the same meeting at Blunsdon in 1973.

I think it's widely recognised that Autrey opened the flodgates following the likes of Bast and Woods not sticking it out.

Decent at his best - no doubt. No pioneer over here though in my view.

Not all of them, no He averaged less than 6.50 in both seasons with Poole. Waloszek, Kaiser, Teo and maybe even Zyto averaged over 7 and Kwoczala over 8. It's debatable whether Woryna was the best at their peaks, but he definitely made only a small impact riding ovee here.

Woryna well past his best when he got to Poole. Zyto, Kaiser and Waloszek were all pretty good. Teo and Kwoczala decent too.
