Grand Central

Two heart sink views immediately on Screen ... a virtually empty stand quickly followed by bloody Sam, again.

Someone helpfully tried to cut off Ermokenkos mic and they couldnt even get that right !

Poor old Kelvin ... Battling on regardless ... Despite dumber and dumber in the pits, dodgy graphics and a rogue Aussie pointlessly jabbering away.

True, there may be new viewers ... But why do TV companies assume they are idiots ?

More babbling sh!te from Ermolenko.

Nonsense.

Excellent commentary with my preferred team of Tatum and Louis.

The irony. It could be described as pitiful.

All true. But the original post was just about the type of front cover being used. I too dislike them and would much prefer a return to the use of a single photo related to this week's events rather than photo-shopped image that is just becomingso 'samey' week after week.

I read the Star article on this today and realised just how much they miss their Managing Editor. The article detailed the shambles that the promoters have created with ridiculous variations in regulations across the leagues; but without any enciteful, critical comment that would doubtless have come from Mr. Rising. Shame.

I really don't think 'politics' describes this situation. It is War.

You'd have to be the world's greatest optimist to even think for a single moment that there is anything 'temporary' about this. This is just the beginning; we are in this for the long haul.

It makes you question whether in the act of becoming a Speedway Promoter do these numpties forget all and disengage their brains from remembering what it is to be an actual supporter paying at the gate ? How often is a drawn match likely to be a reflection of a hard fought match that in the end we usually say 'a draw was a fair result' or 'It would be a shame for anyone to have lost tonight'. How often is a drawn match a 'bad result' that needs to be modified by an extra race ? And that after a nominated heat 15 anyway. And with the match points reflecting the away team's success at running so close as well. And a different crappy point scoring for that one race.

You have not actually read the rule change, have you ?

Because with just six teams (Two under the same control) you only need 3 or 4 idiots in the Premiership to have a majority to make daft changes for themselves. The sanity within the Championship must keep the nutters at bay.
