  1. No at Coventry when the final was full of top class riders, compare those days of the British final to recent years. No wonder the crowds came out in force mid week in those days.
  2. The wednesday night British finals were always packed out every time i went, always thought it strange being mid week even though the quality on display was top class.
  3. For me even the GP,s are becoming played out, there were great individual meetings in the past the BLRC which usually had a field that was better than the world final, the British Final at Coventry packed with world class talent, and every track had their own big individual meetings again packed with the top talent available. I remember travelling to Kings Lynn for the Pride of the East for example. I suppose those meetings back then were popular due the riders participating, compare to this years British Final for example.
  4. The league format isnt the problem, that is down to the powers that be that implement the rules, for me the rot set in when the old school promoters who actually knew how to promote disappeared.
  5. After 55 years following speedway if we had no league speedway i would walk away from it.
  6. Agree no real speedway fan wants to see any club disappear, at this rate those few clubs that are secure will have no one to race againt if this current trend continues.

    Aces v Stars 21/8 P R2

    Not a good advert to introduce the groups of newbies to for their first meeting. I remember Man United getting fined by the FA when Sir Alex fielded a weakened team in a cup match even though United won by a couple of goals, if the BSPL did the same Lynn would be in trouble, hopefully they can get to the end of the season and come back stronger next season whatever the format might be.
  8. Well it appears its Stevie who is the winner in that family
  9. Im surprised you watched it all the way through
  10. Bouncing down here im 20 mins away from the track.
  11. Me neither and the powers that be wonder why the sport is struggling. At least United match in on live.
  12. Exactly he would be nowhere near the title no matter how many rounds were held. Never heard riders moaning about it being at Coventry every year, was always a great meeting there but look at the differnce in quality compared to today.
  13. Ive always found coming out by what used to be the flouch pub cuts out the nightmare of Mottram, going home after the meeting you should be ok with your regular route.
  14. Come along the Stocksbridge by pass and through Holmfirth, Mossley i always go this way never had a traffic problem better than snake and woodhead.

    Lions v Witches 31st July

    Why did Morris not give a urine sample? Unless of course he knew he had taken something that would show up, is he on any medication? If so as in the case of Kyle Howarth he would surely have been vindicated?

    Galling to get so close, two poor rides by Woffinden looking like the turning point for us.

    Would have picked Kurtz over C Holder, Darcy influence there?

    Would he have even got in a position to get passed? Unsure about that.

    We are lacking that fourth rider to support the top 3, dont think we could have picked anyone else who could really mix it in this company so blooding a young rider for the future makes sense in the circumstances.
