DJC Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Fair play to Belle Vue sticking with Mulford, he's come on leaps and bounds. Looks a completely different rider Edited June 26, 2023 by DJC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's purely the reason i have not gone. If it had been on BSN I would as you can't beat live Speedway, but the pace of a Eurosport meeting is just not fun Edited June 26, 2023 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk127 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Sad to see such a decline in what was four or five years ago a passable sport. The top league should be abandoned. Two leagues only with riders who are prepared to ride u k speedway as a their main league and any overseas clubs who they join are aware that the British fixtures take precedent. If it means you end up with part time riders who have jobs outside the sport so be it, it was not that bad last time it was run on this basis. It has no future as it is currently run. Once great teams/tracks like KL and Peterborough have been sacrificed by promoters who fail to operate in the interest of the entire sport. I really hope that someone with some vision can drag this out of the mess and make a successful before it is consigned to history. We cannot compete with overseas clubs/ leagues so stop pretending we can. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Why did they put Cook off 15 metres? Surely Hans is doing enough off of the gate to have put himself amongst it …. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40-38 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Why would you not put Hans off the line there? Seems utterly bizarre to go 15m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty fast enough. .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ego's involved though won't ever allow the fundamental, radical change needed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Apart from one track, speedway races are three laps too many. Should be one lap dash as after bend three, that’s it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This didn't happen overnight. Promoters are just trying to get from week to week. It reflects the country really, or rather the out-of-ideas Tory government running it.

TTT Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Hans didn't go because we deliberately wanted to gift BV a heat advantage so we could use Tarasenko in the following heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
