Cannot believe some on here can say it isn't strictly bullying as it was a private WhatsApp group, sorry but it is bullying and it is unacceptable. I'd tend to agree with the posts above that it's a lot of sad, old men who have had it their own way for too long and now they have a bit of competition. However, and having said all that, if Taylor is getting a leg up because of his dad and Pearson then it's not right. Pearson seems to be slowly taking over all speedway media recently, including these "special" programmes we get for the shared events. I did note in the recent SoN programme that Pearson had something to do with the company that makes them. These jobs for the boys are the kind of crap that speedway could do without, and just carries on from the Terry Russell days. We'll never get fair media now we'll just get whatever Pearson wants. Whatever the truth is, bullying of a 17 year old child is pathetic, but perhaps not unexpected from some of those involved.

Anyone fancy contributing to a thread about ex speedway riders and where they are now? The Danish Jan Andersen just popped into my head and I wonder what he's up to now, same as Jimmy Nielsen.

He'd be stuck at number 1 for Birmingham.

Wasn't a great meeting, racing wasn't much good until a couple of bits later on. The format just doesn't work, never will for me. GB qualified easily and we're stood watching France v America in which nobody cares who goes through. Please bring back the World Cup.

With all of his teams/experience in speedway and he can only attract that lineup? Surely says a lot about the man himself.

Is this going to be on? I'm an hour away, granted, but it's absolutely lashing down. Rain radar looks like it hits the track around 7, hope I'm wrong!

Christ, no thanks. £17 to watch that?

Is it a proper 16 man event or 12 man?

Any ideas on the lineup for the Bordernapolis?

The golden rule of the BSF, you cannot think your team's riders are better than others because you're therefore biased. It's similar to the one where you cannot criticise your rival's riders as you're jealous/bitter/biased. It's best to just admit that all riders are equal, all teams are equal and all fans are equal. What a great forum we'd have then.

This must be one of the few forums I use where mods are just non-existent, not even under the radar, just nowhere to be found. Considering the way the forum used to be 10 years ago it's crazy.

Whereas threatening randomers on a speedway forum is proper hardcore.

Can you explain to me who Daniel Bewley was in the following meeting then: Edinburgh Vs Berwick (PLC) 08/4/2016 - perhaps it's a different one to the Dan Bewley who rode in Belle Vue Vs Mildenhall (NL) 06/5/2016?

Looks like he actually made his PL (Premier League, at that stage) in April while his NL (National League) debut was weeks later.

Looks to me like he made his PL debut before his NL debut?
