A real diamond of a rider and perhaps all the more reason why he should be in the Cardiff GP this year. A loyal servant to British speedway and the last of the all out entertainers who more often than not gives the supporters the thrills they look for in a speedway meeting. Some of the up and coming throttle merchants could learn a thing or two about tenacity and craftsmanship of a good speedway rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Can you imagine Zmarzlik vs Harris (on his current form)? We would probably have a title race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I admire Bomber, and yes he is having a stellar season in the UK, I feel comparison with Zmarzlik is a tad ambitious. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst ever team in Peterborough's history ever, ever, ever.. (It appears according to some)... Yet. They scored just two points less than many peoples' favourites for the title at the NSS.. And Bomber must have been good to watch getting so many...? Winning the league last year hardly raised a ripple of recognition outside a few followers of a very small (but very expensive to run), minority sport, therefore it makes perfect sense to save yourself a few quid when you have zero chance of doing anything other than finishing bottom... No promotion, nor relegation, usually means often a lot of "dead rubbers" from halfway/two thirds into the season, with play off places already secured early on many occasions, so saving money/looking to next year has to be a consideration for those at the bottom.. Not read any reports, but presume the crowd was "ok"? If so, the home team won at home so their fans went home happy, (so important to maintain a crowd level), and the away team didnt spend a fortune on wages, also so important in the overall scheme of things.....

Extremely simple... It really doesn't matter who wins or loses, as pretty much every team will beg steal or borrow from each other.. Therefore.. Just enjoy the racing.. Peterborough in particular is one of the better tracks which must be a bonus.. The sport is slowly dying with the current operating model in use but there seems to be no alternative, (and has already died in at least one part of the UK each season for a fair few of the recent past years now)... So just be grateful there is Speedway to watch in the UK.. I went to the PCMM this year and a couple of Aces meetings and they were all value for money... Who won? If think Jason Doyle, (although that may have been last year?), and the Aces won both the matches I went to but I dont remember who they rode against to be honest.. Three very good value for money nights out though with some fantastic racing featuring Woffy, Bewley, Lambert, Doyle, Fricke, Kurtz, Zagar et al.... Off to Cardiff for the two GP's this weekend to watch some "proper speedway" but the racing probably wont be as good as the NSS and Peterborough (as well as others), can provide... With the threat of development for housing, and the cost of living challenges ahead, tracks need as many "die hards" to stick with them I would think... If your team wins then great, if not, then there is always next week.. Edited August 9, 2022 by mikebv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABS Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Anyone know why Douglas only had his four programmed rides yesterday? Would have thought that he would at least of had one of the R/R rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
