So, we have Dudek probably best gater in the world, Laguta up there with him, add Madsen and Hancock - stick them in the same race and it could be a real bun fight in the first corner. I think Polish speedway authorites are spoiling speedway. There should be no top class speedway the night before a world GP anywhere. Riders deserve to be able to put in the max effort to win the world championship, the pinnacle of any sport.

AUSTRALIA ? With no EU law restricting You in the future, You can call on the Aussie boys, who are eager to come over, and unliek many of the Europeans they are loyal to British speedway, not having to ride in their home country every other week durign the European season

What a brilliant comment from someone who has no idea how a speedway meeting is run. 90% of tracks have a curfew and tonight Redcar deliberately ran over it to complete the meeting so no problem whatsoever. The club paid the BSPA to run this meeting and extra medical staff and vehicles are very expensive to hire so why double your bills, just in case? Despite the medical emergencys , which no one could have foretold, it was a decent meeting and it was completed , none of the healthy crowd that were present, ( and you weren't there ) complained and all stayed back to watch the presentations so no 'shambles' occurred.

Principally because the ‘better off’ teams wouldn’t share around their riders so some teams struggled badly. The British league of 1965 was successful because it provided more variety of opposition plus teams were put together under the ‘ rider control’ system. Maybe a similar system would initially be required - especially if Buster owns all the clubs!

Because of the stupid way the authorities run the sport!! riders have a different average for team building than they do for green sheets which govern team structure and riding order etc then, they switch to rolling averages Adam’s team building average was this years Premiership times 1.5 now, the ROLLING averages kick in which include his second division scores from last season, plus this years Brum scores, hence the drop

It’s took a number of seasons for the “penny to finally drop” with Ford &Co.The fans have been telling them for years

If it was mandatory that reserves had to be British u21s, that would be a great step forward. It was disgraceful that it was dropped a couple of seasons ago. Bring on our own talent. We will benefit in the long term.

Having just watched the GP Qualifiers for tomorrow’s SGP in Krsko, I was surprised to see that Polish clubs had precedence over the FIM on GP riders in qualifying for gate positions in an FIM event. Last nights Danish final took two Poole riders out of a league event to ride in an FIM event. Seems to me that the Polish Speedway Authorities are doing a Winston Churchill to the FIM!!! Might be a good idea if the FIM were to inform the Poles who are are the sports “Governing” body, that’s if they’ve got the B4LL5’s..

I posted this on another thread but thought it was fitting for it to be here as well. I think Polish speedway authorites are spoiling speedway. There should be no top class speedway the night before a world GP anywhere. Riders deserve to be able to put in the max effort to win the world championship, the pinnacle of any sport.

Damn that's bad news, speedy recovery hans.

THE Danish Final isn't an FIM event ... with British tracks not racing at home every week some fixture planning should not go amiss.GP practice isn't compulsory so the riders can chose. However, I do agree that the FIM should have stopped Polish tracks from staging meetings involving GP riders on a Friday before a World Championship round. But not all agree.

you get your chequebook out then

Meeting costs are not affected by the number of riders (apart from travel money). It's the number of heats and therefore points that determine the outlay.

Because he came in on his converted PL average which was 9+. Now he is on a rolling average which uses last year's CL average which was 7+.

Was announced over the tannoy that the curfew was 10:30

Should be another cracking night with two rivals going head to head. Berwick have great strength in numbers but Newcastle probably have the best heat leader trio in the PL. If I had to put my neck out, I'd say Berwick to take it just over the 30 races.

Now that is what I call a team !! Mr Thrower the team managers job awaits you !

Scunny have a few problems with their team even before tonight's Garrity injury. Allen might be back but if he's not I gather Ryan Douglas is on Standby to guest. Kyle Bickley booked to guest for Josh Bailey although after the sad passing of Kyle's Grandad I don't know if this effects anything. (Best wishes to the Bickley Family)

The big league was hardly the salvation in the 90's thou

Riss couldn't come in as a direct replacement for Kerr. Alternatively we could keep Lambert,bring Douglas in for Kerr,heard he's pretty handy,Riss in for Proctor and Iversen in for Jorgensen.Sure that brings us to 42.44.How would that look. 1.Lambert 2.Riss 3.Iversen 4.Toft 5.Cook 6.Douglas 7.S.Lambert C'mon Buster dig deep

Been touted by Gary May as well. Said Somerset would definitely prefer one league. The downside is riders like the top riders Doyle would be lost. Can you imagine the remaining top guys wanting to turn up at the more remote tracks? The quality would probably sit somewhere a bit better than the current championship level.

...to keep this forum going for one thing!!!!!!!

Just out of interest, how did these many people by the pits believe it was to Swindon's advantage to have to use their non-scoring reserves in two rides instead of one of their heatleaders?

Josh Pickering is out until the end of June so our resident insider has nailed this one . I wonder who will be the next name plucked out.
