Far too simiplistic to say that, there is an element of 'poor team building' but Kildemand and Thomas getting injured were blows as was the Iversen situation. I actually think the team looked very good early in the season but too many meetings were lost in the last couple of heats. The team is much better than last year but it hasn't quite clicked at times. Maybe those two guesting yesterday hasn't had a bearing but it looks horrendous and further erodes what credibility is left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with Thomas and yes he was a big miss, for me Kildemand was always a massive risk and one race away from getting injured, accident always waiting to happen and don’t think he really wanted to be over here.

eric i Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Am I right in saying King's Lynn didn't have Eurosport meeting this year? I am sure the sponsors will be thrilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct- it was due to have been Belle Vue but was called off in dubious circumstances on the Sunday when weather forecast spoke of shower Monday night and Monday came and was totally dry - also it think the club was without Jorgensen that night had it been on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week from what I think I heard at tonight’s meeting. if Doyle has come to Lynn, rather than Ipswich, the Stars would have been very good. anyway, I’ve seen some decent racing in the meetings I have seen at the AFA , none more so than in tonight’s meeting against Wolves. Old fashioned speedway in a couple of races where lead changed hands more than once. track seemed really good for racing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtf Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 On 8/30/2022 at 6:25 PM, mikebv said: Exactly why it is best not to take it seriously and just watch the racing... It won't ever move on to become "mainstream" as it is so severely restricted by its operating model, which will always dissuade any major sponsors or media to get involved.. But it still can be a very decent night out if you take it at face value as being nothing much more than somewhat of a contrived, but entertaining and exciting, proposition.. Completely agree, I just don't understand this "thirst for credibility" It's entertainment for crying out loud. But it's not just speedway, Football is a joke sport with its constant simulation, diving and feigning of injuries. Rugby is going the same way with it's "your tackle was 1cm too high, you're sent off" mentality. Everything is manufactured to suit a bigger agenda these days, from News, x-factor, Bake off, and sport in general. People just need to accept speedway for what it is. 4 people doing 4 laps on bikes with no brakes. and enjoy it for that. If people continue to look for a virtuous outcome, they will find only crushing disappointment. (in everything) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 No chance of Jakobsen returning imo. He's just using British Speedway to make his final bit of money this season. Lambert won't ride in the British League again imo, He doesn't even make the effort to turn up at a British Final. Pickering, Klindt, MPT, Basso, R. Worrall, Thomas + 1 Other imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As league racing why would he just have to look how poorly it is run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I would say its more down to the polish rules being relaxed than anything Speedway is a short career, UK is maybe easy money if you look at the standard Think a few could be enticed back but there would need to be changes to the calendar to make it happen, still too many meetings in the UK for top riders to want to committ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not like Dan Bewley who'd jump at the chance to ride in his home country again if the Poles allow him too. Doyle & J.

All he had to do was NOT ride in Sweden, just like Doyle and J Holder. Bewley is as loyal to UK speedway as Lambert or Woffinden. He just didn't have a British Title to his name until a week ago 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's improving and at least he's fighting this year potential top 3 Not a dig by the way but wasn't it Germany where Robert started league racing?
