Odds On

Never knew it existed but a little gem!

what a great little site for stats etc, thank you and very much appreciated.

could some of the Sheffield natives explain to us neutrals which Ipswich riders usually go well around Sheffield and the one's that don't....genuinely interested.

it was during the second bend so every chance another rider could of been there, using Hume as an example out gated Doyle in a earlier race!...im not saying he should of left room - merely saying that there was never going to be room to go round the outside of him

Hume is young, still very raw but with the right guidance and someone taking him under there wing, he'll be a decent rider, time will tell. Doyle isn't dirty, but he verges on the edge of it, he didn't leave Lambert any room and knew full well he was there, not a problem with it but a lesser skilfull rider would of been through the fence. Speedway needs entertainment, rightly or wrongly people are talking about last nights meeting, which is the rarity for speedway nowadays!

Ipswich got lucky with a few refereeing decision but that's sport. Hume is pure entertainment-still raw but can gate and if "schooled" will be a heat leader in the future. Chris Holder looked very poor, is he the new Troy Batchelor! Rob Lambert, showed great skill to avoid being fenced in heat 15 but there was never going to be a gap to go around Doyle. Track wasn't that bad if you attacked it. Emil and Doyle looked on a different level. Still think this final has some mileage left in it. Eurosport, just don't get what that Abi lass brings to the show, more often than not she is in the way in the pits, riders don't look interested in her questions.

are these comments related to British racing?

read most of the comments on here, some good some bad and some indifferent!...but for me both tracks have their quirks, both teams have their fans favourites but overall both teams served up an absolute spectacle for the fans, its an old cliche but the winner was speedway.

do people on here actually think and read what they post before posting?!

two ways of looking at this, now i would imagine there aren't many promoters if any making a profit out of the sport, so where does that golden egg come from?...we all know riders deserve a good crust for their bravery etc...however i think the day will come when a rider will not be able to do a deal for x amount each week/meeting/point...now lets say if the income average £5000 per meeting, the expenditure was £2000 per meeting that leaves £3000 profit per meeting, the promoter takes roughly 25% the remainder is spread then between the riders....any other way then the promoter see's himself in the position they are in now...offering good money in February only to find out in June they have done their proverbials...

just to add, did you know that a well known tyre manufacturer had a chip in tyres that showed when a rider is/was overweight.

ifs buts and maybe's.....the long and short of it is, if you do not provide a specimen when asked to, whether its your first or hundredth then it should be treated as a failure...it isn't rocket science folks.

weather brightened up, should be a cracker.

The negativity on here is unbelievable...Dan Bewley coming in for some uncalled for comments, people moan when top class riders dont ride here, yet when they do they cop abuse! Belle Vue is by far the best track to hold this event at.....instead of the negativity turn the glass up the other way round!

no not at all. There has always been rumours within the sport, model airplane fuel, big carbs,, titanium rods etc etc.
