Incredible how this sport (in the UK), still allows ringers to come in on a seemingly ad hoc basis, and some fans are still genuinely surprised that it isn't taken seriously by the wider mainstream media... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Speedways popularity which you describe has been on a steep year on year decline for the past 40 years using the current operating model.. Therefore I suggest they try something different to try and halt this slide because doing the same thing time and time again, and expecting different results, is widely regarded as a mark of insanity...

Bagpuss 10,683 Posted September 1, 2019 One would expect that Porsing has a doctors note whatever the reason for his absence is and it’s difficult to argue with one of those. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that's no myth.. The crowds slide as the team get worst it's not hard to figure out ..of course as we have seen your plan is to carry on making the teams worst so its odd you go on about doing the same thing time and time again . .I could pull apart Football ,Golf Cricket about credibility and intergrity but it does not stop crowds watching it. maybe these sports don't have the same 24-7 media coverage speedway has .

Ostergaard got 9 the other week at Ipswich. So yes he he way more capable of scoring more than Porsing. However hopefully he scores little, ditto the other 6 Stars.

If it wasn't for their coverage of the GP's. I would ditch BT Sport, their League coverage has been very poor, and now they change this meeting for rudy German Football. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that is a bit tongue in cheek saying a NL rider would be an improvement. Yes he was awful riding for Peterborough the other week in tough conditions. But riding for Lynn he has never been that bad around there. I think his lowest score has been 3 for Lynn which isn't that bad around your place. Most of the time would have been in the 1-5 too. Do remember him scoring an 8 or 9 a few years ago beating Thorssell twice so we know he can do it, it's just whether he can be bothered it seems. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
