SpeedwayTShirts

Having had a few days to reflect, what an absolute shower of $hite. Cardiff is a great social occasion but what was served up in the stadium was absolutely dire compared to past years. No pre event entertainment? they've had bands, singers, tribute acts and all sorts in the stadium before. The Viking Clap was a massive embarrassment , Amarillo played twice and announced as the first time was poor, nothing for Nigel when they had hours to kill during track grading, the painful legends section where they should have all been sent out together instead of filling 15 mins with it, 2 interviews with Top Gears Chris Harris where he said exactly the same, Ellis announced at the tapes after he'd been on the big screen pulling out of the meeting. That's with out the suicidal track and the booing of Leon for pointing it out and the list goes on....... If this is meant to be an improved product I'd like to no how. 20k crowd at the most and doubt it will be bigger in 2023, we are definitely no longer the flagship GP. As they say in Dragon's Den for 2023 "I'm Out" better off having friends round for a bbq and trying to bear watching it on the tv.

I'm not saying it happens worldwide but in their own back yard it does and I've had that first hand from a Team GB mechanic who highlighted it at the time to Armando Castagna who said he could do nothing about it.

The Poles win in Poland by using oversized engines etc, bikes being wheeled out of the pits and replaced with compliant engines towards the end of meetings. It's well known amongst the Team GB mechanics but nothing is done about it.

It’s where all the trees and bushes have grown that surprises me. I guess when the stadium was in use they used to not grow because of the footfall of people walking over the areas?

Popped into Brandon last week on the way down to Oxford. Quick video of how things are now. Massive flyover now on TGI roundabout which was a shock…… Coventry Speedway June 2022

I’d very much doubt paying the riders is an issue. Rob seems a sound bloke and on a positive it must unfortunately be the smallest wage bill in the league. It’s sad times for British Speedway and sometimes you have to admit enough is enough despite what your heart says. I hope both Newcastle and Birmingham see out the season but you’d have to be crazy to put together a line up for 2023 at either track UNLESS money is no object and you can entice an amazing team of riders who the crowds will flock to see. Anything less than mediocre, there just seems little point, you wouldn’t keep putting out a blind greyhound to race……. Jack Smith wise he’ll be firing very soon so I’d stick with him, he from a good stable after all.

I heard someone saying on the way out people would be automatically refunded. I've not had an email as yet or anything to confirm this though, anyone else?

Isn't Lee one of the few riders achieving his average so far for Newcastle (4 points from 2 rides last night)? Any statto's got a run down of the current team and what each riders achieving?

What's happened to this big team shake up? Heading down to Oxford tomorrow mainly to watch Lee Complin, but it'd be nice to know if there's a competitive team heading down?

I don't think many Bees or Cradley fans will still have a programme board to be honest, I certainly haven't I always had individual rider one's but it's a good gesture and hopefully will bring in some additional fans. I do hope things start looking up for the Brummies asap.

Perhaps just go with a graphic of eg Paul B and the Rider who he's chatting to in the pits or waiting to go on track, whilst you show background image of the whole track waiting for the riders to come out. Also when you hand off from main commentary to the pits, could be a bit cleaner so they know instantly when they are live as opposed to the 4-5 secs lull where they're not sure. Excellent work though so far and already had my money's worth.

Not a great start to the season for Brum, regardless of fault I hope it's not the start of the end again as it's been a tough season so far for the new promotion. Fingers crossed for some sunshine in the next few weeks and nice busy terraces.

Nigel is 'one' of the reasons I don't have much to do with Speedway Presentation anymore and also why I finished at Birmingham so as a bloke I didn't care for him that much. Having said that if the opportunity had ever arose and we'd buried the hatchet as per me and Mick Horton, then I'd probably have let bygone's be bygone's as I'm not one to bear a grudge. And.... being out of speedway has allowed me the time to enjoy other things in life which are far more important like friends and family. However as a commentator and a family man I have the utmost respect for him and my thoughts are with his friends, co-workers and loved one's at this time. You can't fault his love for our great sport and speedway will definitely be worse off without his enthusiasm. RIP Mr Speedway
