Well let's be honest, neither do you!

We have readingracer2017 posting directly after mff. Both saying the same thing in the same style.

WITH all four GP qualifying rounds being held the same weekend, but only one on a Monday, anyone with any intelligence (pigs might fly) would have ensured that Belle Vue's two top riders weren't in the Abensberg meeting and could have been at the NSS fort the match against KL instead. And please don't tell me that it is an open draw...

Well done to the old guys, Bomber and Nick. Well done to Adam and Batch, Nickyboy is a worry at number1 at times.

BUT there are lots of fans who won't accept a team with three guests ... especially their own team

worky are loyal to their riders and always will be .if you come 1/2 way around the world to ride . you deserve a run out .

it will be his arm .

Speedway was the loser because it had a chance to address the cost issue and mechanically at least get a sound footing to build on, unfortunatly the sport is riddled with people with their head buried in the sand like you who can’t ever see the bigger picture and offer nothing more than cheap jibes

Do you not think YOU telling someone they are talking sh*te is somewhat ironic.

He delivered the rotten tomatoes

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Another thread on the decline of Speedway

Taking that one (dangerous) stage further......too many EX speedway fans get accused of being negative, when they are only stating the facts.

You're very lucky to not be a Stars fan as you would be hung, drawn and quartered for comments like that. They're getting a very touchy bunch if you talk negative.

i was reading yesterday some posts from graham hurry saying that paul used a GTR last season, did 22 meetings without any service work and he actually made a bit of money although I doubt he was on a crap deal but the point is the engine, there will be riders who are lesser standard or equal that spent £££££ with englebert fancypants engine tuning and lost a fortune and cant make it pay and will tell you a million reasons why they wont use a GTR, there is a lesson there somewhere for not just riders but speedway as a whole but don't expect it to be learnt

Beginning to look like Batchelor is the true number one for the Robins, Morris has looked inconsistent compared to last year.

Don't get bitchy now, just admit Lisa's post chopped you off at the knees

Still lowering averages? Some things never change for the pie rats

Good news Scorpions fans, Jason has declared himself fit and posted this on his Facebook: Jason Garrity 5 hrs · All good just got home will be ready for Friday looking mint come on you Scunthorpe let's kick ass

Heading down tomorrow for an overnight stay,to start the Bank Holiday , hopefully our boys can keep it close, best of luck to Mason on his return he's certainly getting some stick to prove himself as he did in the Cumberland Classic at Workington. Not sure which way this will go tbh , 2 great away wins but things didn't workout against Scunny last Friday so never take anything for granted , Sheffield haven't set the World alight yet so possibly even teams from the offset Good Luck Boys !!

Funny enough the gardener e-mailed me straight after the mechanic and i quote. Weeds all done back straight clear (unquote) So there you have it must be true.

diamonds now have 10.10 points to replace rose ................................. just a pity there is not a 9+ heat leader available perhaps sign craig cook and then use guests to cover all his meetings ...... a good heat leader would transform this team diamonds do need to sign someone quickly as tero and ashleys averages are bound to increase ... and continuing with a guest and r/r will soon catch us out at home diamonds will be weaker with Ashley in main body ............. always better for your team to have a reserve averaging 7+ who can take 7 rides ............ but given how wethers rode on sunday ............ he should make a mockery of his current 4 point average from reserve

I would actually laugh if the changes are made and it makes you loads stronger. Just can't wait to see Gav post about it!! I agree with Mr Hyabb though. I don't think the British League can attract anyone decent who isn't riding here already and if someone was tempted before then I'm sure the Vac incident at Swindon would have put paid to that.

I will be enjoying the racing this evening. The result on Monday means that progression to the KO Cup Semi Finals is very unlikely for Rye House but that does not mean we won't have a good evening of speedway.

I can't understand what all the problems are about. I get Credit Card offers sent to me every day. Does Chris have a bad credit rating?

Twas the best six man team British Speedway will ever see

It's how the bike looks as well, the other week, a NL rider and mechanic spent best part of 2 hours piddling about with those spoke straws, all nicely colour coordinated, ish, with rest of guards/covers, but in their quest for making bike look good, they failed to notice a broken spoke!! The one with the balancing weight, which was swinging more than the swinging footrest!!! Very nearly missed his first race....

you made a mistake starman not a big deal,just write" oops sorry my mistake" dont continue the argument with endless twists and meaningless comments

Spot on. .. And some will say "we have had guests for donkeys years"... And indeed we have, however... The days of turning up at a track, without any prior knowledge, and being peed off to find out PC wasn't there and that another teams' best rider replaced him have long, long gone... Sweden and Poland run fixed nights and don't use guests.... Their Championships therefore have credibility... We run the same system and still have guests... Meaning our Championships don't have credibilty.. It's interesting we didn't use one fixed night like Sweden. So as, I presume, to facilitate the use of guests... And then our version of 'two fixed nights' is actually three, and that all fixtures are arranged, it would appear, to again, facilitate guest replacements, unlike Poland, who with their three nights still don't use guests.. What you got away with in years gone by, doesn't mean in this age of 'instant news' you can still get away with it today... When we found out PC wasn't there after we had paid our hard earned to get in, we often moaned to each other, but it was to the 10 or so people around you.... Nowadays you know BV are missing riders days in advance and instead of moaning to ten people, literally thousands on various forums get to read it... And then make their decision to attend the fixture... With many, 100% understandably, deciding against it.. If you don't run any Sport with credibility and integrity, you simply cannot complain when you struggle to generate decent crowds every week. And when you add on that winning that Sports Championship's mean very little (by the very way they are won), and you have real problems I would suggest..

Greaves beats Scrabble. Matt's been busy on the calculator.

Brilliant!

Does he owe as much as Kus ? At least Barker tries

That' s an understatement . Coty at the Dale .......... interesting .

It CAME OFF in my hand.

It's only in Speedway that a person trying to get to the top of his sport is hampered by Promoters throwing a wildcard in to try and get a few more locals to attend the meeting,if the sport cannot attract a crowd for the field of that stature it is in trouble.

He has signed for Peterborough to cover Lunna.

Don't agree with wild cards. Do agree with top 4 from the 4 qualifiers getting a spot in the final. If they are from Poland, Sweden or GB I do not care but that would be my rule. Earn your place.

He is the rotten tomato!

Ok, so now the GTR is all but dead and buried, who were the winners and losers with this folly. Losers were definitely the Riders who got sucked in, and the BSPA. Not sure who the winners were.

I'm not worried at all, my question is who actually is available & would ride over here, hardly any riders IMO. I reckon you'll end up with Klindt & Smoli if any changes are made. The riders mentioned have no interest in riding over here.

The mechanics e-mailed me and said and I quote. We have solved all our machinery problems (unquote). So there you have it must be true.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but am I right in thinking, today being the 23rd means the new average figures are taken, to be implemented start of June.. Looking at the current figures, the bad news is we lose Lewis Kerr from reserve berth , but the good news is, he will be replaced with MPT. Both these riders are showing tremendous early season form and have contributed to the fine start the team has shown. Whether Kerr can continue upping his average in the team proper remains to be seen, but with his razor sharpe gating and smooth style sure gives him an edge. Dropping MPT to reserve must be a tremendous asset to the club, being able to use him as a safety net, covering any rider having problems, and also assist his own scores against lesser opposition.... Must say its a Win - Win situation...

Least I'll save a score + petrol now

Ford needs to come out and tell the truth on why Holder has not beem granted a visa to ride in the UK yet

Apparently they are in talks. Meanwhile it's easy to watch Freesports online for free at tvplayer.com.

All rides taken in a meeting are included in the GSA.

What part of the season did he miss? That is very pedantic if you class 98% as not all season! And you accuse me of being picky!

Winning home meetings by six points isn't strong.

Easy home win :- 1 We are not riding that well away 2 Poole is not a good track for us. Unlike jokers like Shovlar, I can be realistic.
