    Brummies 2024...

    Been a while since I checked in on this thread...relieved to see it's not being dominated by talk of the return of KK, it's not at that stage yet! My guess for the last 2 riders...Wozniak & Zengota. Neither signed in Denmark yet that I can see, so have a bit of space in their calendars? Was a big fan of Zengi in his season at the Bees in an albeit poor season for the club as a whole, was a fan favourite if I recall but did have a frustrating habit of going something like 0,3,3,0 in a meeting! Looked to be doing a solid job for Leszno last season?

    Playoff Final

    Several hours after the meeting got pulled and still no official word on the club or speedway GB's social media (who didn't even post a meeting preview, which is telling)? What a poor way to end the season and to treat those of us who went along in good faith. I hope Oxford have more success for those who go Tuesday. Said the exact same last season, but it sickens me to see how the National League, full of riders learning their craft, get forgotten about until well into October and expected to race on totally unfit tracks that even experienced riders would struggle with.

    King's Lynn v Ippo 17/08/23

    What are Lynn not telling us about how bad their rider availability issues are? Only Jorgensen and Klindt known to be unavailable, right? Even if you add MPT into that having just returned from injury, you can still get a semi competitive meeting on. Has Laguta made himself unavailable again? If so, surely it has to be the end of the road for him this season at least? Nicki Pedersen should be free to help his mate Buster out for the rest of the season now Poland's finished for him this season?
  5. Or maybe not! Steady sticking with his Sheffield boys! I can't watch anymore
  6. Surely Brennan deserves his chance now after that Ellis ride?
  7. Absolutely, nothing changes with the typical British riders! Think they can ride the place like Monmore Green!
  8. So Thursday night at 7.45pm it is. The latest start for a double header ever?! Absolutely devastated for Mildenhall, the Lion Cubs and National League speedway in general that this is what it comes down to. Two great sides stacked with the best young British talent being shoehorned into a late October weeknight double header. If it gets postponed again to Sunday I'm there, but I just can't justify the 2 hours travel at this time of the season on a week night. This fixture should have been played out to a decent crowd on August bank holiday weekend. Appalling really, for Mildenhall especially as a standalone National League club, to have to wait until now to cram such an attractive fixture in - this should have been a slam dunk payday for the club.
  9. Just caught up on this second leg...made up for Krosno who I've followed with interest since their move up the 1 Liga! Little sympathy for Zielona Gora (the fact Krosno had to take their celebrations to Leszno, after ZG hotels and restaurants turned them away, speaks volumes), but it takes two teams to make a great final and that was gripping viewing from start to finish, hope Fricke makes a quick and full recovery from his injuries. Hope Krosno can hold their own next season in the Extraliga. Thanks Racers and Royals for the links this season.
  10. Howarth rightly aggrieved after first running of heat 13, Morris stuffed him good and proper when Leicester gated on a 5-1 they were more than capable of holding onto, that's possibly going to be costly in the final reckoning.
  11. Where's Lebedevs, injured in Poland yesterday? Only saw half that meeting.

    Premiership Pairs

    Can't argue with that! Belle Vue aside, the PR and hype from the league has been dreadful for the pairs. Lineups and previews often not published until the day before at the earliest as they would for a normal league meeting! A real shame as both myself and a casual speedway fan I took along to the Wolves round really enjoyed it and found it a great format, that moved along at a pace and kept the interest throughout. Hope the BSPL make a proper go of it as a series next season, get away from this mentality of 'it's just a filler fixture for each club to give to their fans to make up the season ticket numbers'. I don't think they will, but would like them to prove me wrong!
  13. Was thinking the same Not a Gorzow fan particularly, but for the fact Woryna wasn't excluded when he should, along with the fairytale story of Zmarzlik leading his long time team into one more final, I'm happy with the outcome. Given the strength of their reserve pairings in recent years, it's a pretty poor show again from Czestochowa.
  14. What happened to Harris and Andersen?

    Newcastle speedway

    Really? Seemed like a mockery to me. The North East now thinks speedway is dead based on that piece...despite there being another 3 tracks ticking along up there, GB being reigning world champions until a week ago, a thriving youth system and at least 2 tracks publicly on record as looking to return to the sport next year! 'The pits have been dismantled so that's probably it'? No they've not, they're behind you on camera Barry?! Brough Park hardly looks to be in the state that Brandon is and we're still trying to get that back!
  16. Good to hear he's in good spirits, looked a nasty get off. Lucky there wasn't another one with the way Jeppesen chopped across Seifert-Salk as they crossed the line in heat 13, blimey!
  17. Possibly harsh but is there a case there for Ljung to be given a red card for that move on Kurtz?! It was just so badly judged!

    Premiership Pairs

    Why has this round been so poorly communicated? Start of the week I was thinking of taking the day off work to attend if strong lineups had been announced and a bit of build up had been done to encourage me to go...yet nothing! Gave up on the idea as it's a long way to travel at the moment and take time off work on the whim that the meeting *might* be a good one. From the lack of announcement I assumed the lineups were weak and stayed away. Hope they get it right for the Sheffield round as that's another one I'm on the fence about going to!

    Kent kings are no more ??

    That's the obvious one admittedly. The snippet in the Speedway Star did make it sound like a different club though as Oxford are mentioned separately.
  20. Incredible if this goes ahead today, some turnaround from how the track looked an hour ago! Only Buster could even try and tackle damage like that in such a timeframe in the UK!

    Leicester vs Plymouth 28 August 2021

    Good meeting that, Leicester's becoming quite the race track these days, several meetings where I've seen some good passing there now. Ruml's going to make a name for himself as an entertainer I think, both tonight and at Perry Barr on Wednesday he's been giving it a great go out in the dirt on the outside line. What a moment for Dan Thompson passing the still classy Crump, I just missed the full celebration that was going on but I think it was his dad in the pits who looked absolutely made up at that one!
  22. Just caught up on the crucial Grudziadz Vs Czestochowa meeting, just wow. So pleased for Grudziadz, had a good feeling they had enough to beat the drop against all the odds for most of the season, finally everything clicked for them after glimpses from everyone all season but frustratingly never at the same time! Hope their fans enjoy the off season, their nerves must be shot to pieces after what they've gone through trying to keep that squad in Ekstraliga! KK and Shamek the heroes...now that brings back good 2010 memories!

    Swindon Robins 2020

    What's going on with crowds at greyhound meetings there now? The holding page of the Swindon stadium website is an outdated message saying the public are being allowed in from 16th August?
  24. Any links for this meeting please?

    Rye House

    It already has been my track...Coventry. Where there's Oxford, there's hope though! Rye House objection sent. Shocking what's happened there but great to see people like yourself leading the fight to get it back.
