Ole got involved didn't he? Didn't see Fireman Phil with his rake tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably worded that badly, I wasn’t actually blaming the track and I don’t expect tai would either. I meant as opposed to him not qualifying for the semi’s by being beat by other riders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bit late to the party but discovered (sic) that on Discovery+ you can turn off the commentary and just have the ambient sound instead. Was the most enjoyable coverage I've seen for a long time watching it that way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMRC might be on the case if that is correct... Seemed "decent for UK Speedway"... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Personally think Phil does a good job, otherwise you would be there all night with the riders and mechanics antics with bikes anytime there is re run. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattB Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 After last year they simply had to deliver this time and they certainly did. Vast improvement. One big disappointment for me was Dan Bewley not bothering to do a lap of honour after either of his two heat wins. Poor show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) You know; tonight could be the start of a turnover. Obviously, Batsh!t Smarslick looks good for another title, but it depends on how Tia Wolfinden is able to bounce back from injury. Still the future of British speedway looks promising in the hands of Den Bowley and Rod Limpet. The Danes have not replaced Nikki Peterson, and Len Madman is struggling at the moment. The Aussies look well served by Mick Fruck and Jock Hellfire. We just need some new riders whose names are easier for speedway fans to spell. Not that spelling seems to be important these days...

Nor does counting... Knowing that scoring 8 points is more than scoring 7 points appears to be a thing of the past..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
