Why not, todays speedway fans don't get enough speedway, so even though it's not a particular strong field it is another meeting with the incentive for the riders to compete in an international meeting and a final in Poland. Bring it on I say. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You do make me laugh. No nothing about speedway? Lol! Since when have Mildenhall, Workington, Glasgow and Ipswich been in the top flight for Jacobs to score a point? Belle Vue, the only track he can get around in the top flight, binned him because he was garbage elsewhere. A one trick pony. Harsh, yes, but true. As for changing allegiances, Swindon introduced me to speedway in 73 and by 76 I was living in Poole where I became a fan. 40 years a Pirate and proud of it. Still a STFC supporter though as I started going when I was 8. As for selling junk, I didn’t realise selling fine art was junk! My Steptoe ‘junk’ should do me nearly a million this year. Up the Pirates! ☠️ Edited March 2, 2018 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doubt there would be many there. Smaller crowd than a league meeting. Shame its not the final but Poland insist on such events. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All profits re-invested into building it up. Have seen huge growth in the last few years but nowhere near where I want it to be. Afraid my type of business won’t benefit from an average speedway fan. And that’s with no disrespect intended at all. As for this round of the revamped swc, I hope Woffinden is not considered at all. Choose Brits who WANT to ride for their country.

Bagpuss 10,686 Posted March 2, 2018 Batchelor must be a shoe in with how he rides Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,049 Posted March 2, 2018 At Belle Vue it should be Fricke then Holder then Batchelor then Tungate. Morris and Kurtz not good enough and it should be horses for courses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted March 2, 2018 Think it all depends on early season form. If Tungate and Josh G are banging in points then take them. Doubt it but just saying take form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
