Midland Red 2,383 Posted July 28, 2022 37 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: Can’t make it? Stream it. Extra money going to the promotion. Large chunk of income being missed out on by Brum promotion. Only a portion of what they’d get if you actually paid on the gate. “Can’t make it” sounds a good argument, until you consider “won’t go as I can stream it”. Even worse when there’s a number who “won’t go” and watch it together on the same stream. Sorry, but it’s just further damage to an already battered sport.

Petecc 352 Posted July 28, 2022 Accommodation booked and paid for. Im going to be there regardless who's riding. Sometimes it's about the sport, not the standard of sport. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wessexbobcat 13 Posted July 28, 2022 2 hours ago, Jaizer said: Can't remember a season like it for number of guests at every meeting. Must be some kind of record. Ruml at least is value for money, very entertaining. Never been so many !with the amount of double up and down going on was always going to happen.With Newcastle sadly closed still not enough uk based riders to fill 14 teams !

GiveusaB 1,132 Posted July 28, 2022 One amalgamated League is the only way forward, may be 6 riders per team ...... riders will have to take it or leave it..... Or a North/South set up..... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole have r/r for Kemp at 2 and Connor Coles guesting for Ablitt at 7. Edited July 28, 2022 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was told he was on gas and air with broken ankle? Maybe not broken after all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Morley (Guest) - wow, just wow, I know injuries can’t be helped but WOW. I feel more sorry for Poole than Birmingham. If there was ever a reason to cancel a match for anything other than the weather then this is it 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,762 Posted July 29, 2022 Woolley and Verge, WTF? That's an horrendous side. Embarrassing. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lefty 1,257 Posted July 29, 2022 Set fire to all the spare programme's at the end of this meeting and put them in an urn. It can then be kept as a memorial to the passing of Team Speedway in the UK. I was hoping we could have celebrated 100 years of team speedway soon, but it's not to be. The GI vultures are hovering lower tonight. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
