Would be interesting to know who puts these teams together? Plain to see batchelor ain't going to take any risks anymore, if anyone comes near him he doesn't want to know. Holm jackobsen can't stay on the bike, it's fall after fall. But every season we are going with unproven riders. Vinny foord has not progressed at all. Signing Drew Kemp to replace Craig Cook has been a disaster, which isn't really suprising. Kemp would never be a replacement for cook, and before anyone says it, yes cook probably had to go, but should it have been more than one change while jacobsen was still on a assessed 5? So who does pick these teams? The ever cocky an arrogant james Denham?

B ) is not and never will be an option. No TV deal in 2027 would pay out the numbers to make top tier Speedway "exclusive". It's not just the BSPL that needs to give their heads a wobble, it's very evident fans do too. It's why a a whole, we don't get listened to either. The concentration has to be on maintaining and/or expansion of what we have. There's still this mentality amongst many fans that we're a big player and we're not, it's not even close. Banning doubling-up (if it's 2 leagues) and guests would be a catastrophic move in such a weak position the sports in. Selfishness is what is killing our once loved sport. It's as simple as that. Me, me, me, me, that is all that's the focus for promoters. Doubling-up and guests is not, never has been and never will be the problem. That is such a fickle issue to this sport. Years gone by, we owned the sport. Everyone wanted to be here and 1000's would turn up to watch. Terrific atmospheres up and down the country. It's now Poland's sport. We need to get over ourselves and embrace being their support act. I've said it before, we can really strengthen our position by being a feeder league to those guys and it's us fans and Promoters that need to get their heads out their ar5e and work with and alongside Poland. Only then, could the pendulum swing back or way. Switch the mindset away from rules and regulations. They will absolutely fix nothing for nobody.

4.59 in the prem, down from starting average of 4.73 7.32 in the championship , up from starting average of 7.1

Prioe to the season and after running round the SCB + Promoters were quoted as saying we need to get ready for 2027 well in advance of the end of the season and the meetings would be held + decisions made during the season. Have DID they ever take place or will it be heads in the air-fence until Nov or Jan.

That’s if he even rides. Stung in the face by a bee yesterday and his face has ballooned up. Could hardly see yesterday.

Well done to Jamie and Martin Landels, have clearly been very hard at work.

If only there was something, it could be called something like the Internet, where you could ask questions while using the Internet instead of looking them up yourself. I'm riding my unicycle from Glasgow to Plymouth will i be allowed to take my Trunk in, or will i have to find a storage space ?

To be fair there were a fair number of overtakes but generally Poole on Worky, good ding-dong race with Rushen (on Cluff?), Lawson was definitely not on any blue line as he rounded Jeppsen in heat 15. But Workington were abysmal, riders kept making errors & falling, not clearing track etc, tactical substitution wasted. Over from the start. On the positive, did get meet up with Neila good to put a face to the name and the wind-ups.

Well what can I say 🤔 as predicted, but on a dusty track the water cart only came out in 2 of the 4 grading breaks, the last few heats were like watching through a dust storm, granted Lawson's pass in HT 15 was good, but the rest of the racing if you can call it that, was not exciting. But the pilots fans will be happy. On a brighter note was good to meet up with a few names on here 😃 and I'm now an honorary member of the NID corner 😄

Found 50p for the leccy meter or an old nail as fuse wire ?

Completely fair and no disagreement from me - Lidsey is a bit like Brennan at Ipswich you felt they had the chance to step up and so far they haven't made it! Hopefully both will. You would likely keep Lidsey on potential tho as you feel he will get back to where we think he can get / be. I did expect more than 4 from him however.

Head problems more likely. Nowhere in his first two then pops out to win.

Just got back. Other than Jeppersen who battled throughout, Workington were pretty awful. Good crowd in tonight but men against boys. Track on the slick side and regularly watered but dusty later in the meeting. Race of the night heat 15 with Jeppersen leading and a Lawson trying to get through up the inside. Start of lap four switched to the outside and went all the way around. Great ballsy riding to bring the house down. Nice to meet Neila before the meeting. He predicted a drubbing and that’s what was given. Safe journey back.

The same names for most NORA meetings. From what I have observed it's mostly the same core of riders wearing a different race jacket depending on the meeting. But if that keeps the wulfsport jacket brigade happy and they are happy to pay the admission to see it then so be it. I would imagine though that these would be the same band that complain about riders doubling up in the main leagues.

Yes, the same as Scott of course. Will be a test for both of them

What was that about miracles

Dackarna - Västervik is next week's televised meeting according to Dave.

Danny posted his schedule on Facebook and he has five meetings the next five days😬

Two that do my head in 'they risk their lives for our entertainment ' - no they don't. 'if you've never ridden a bike you can't criticise them'

Whats wrong with drew kemp has he got bike problems

Worky don't look that bad a side on paper but other than Jepperson it looks like they have raised the white flag after heat 1

To be fair General as we all know he's really a number 3 ranked heat leader , they have done the best they could with the scraps but having three riders in a team who may or may not fancy it you are on a hiding to nothing , plus they have Zagar looking a shadow of his former self. Credit to Niels , Harrison and especially Thomsen who has exceeded all expectations. They will never get him but as I've banged on someone like Anders Thompson a rider who will put in a shift week in week out would be enough to enable them to win at home most weeks and a better reserve to replace Batch, you might then just be able to carry Klindt and Lidsey.

Looking embarassing

It's Scott Courtney that's god , Why he's not in charge of the bspa yet is beyond me. Must be his own choice, what a difference he'd make to change things for the better compared to the dinosaurs continually lining their pockets.
