Dan Ford on Charlie Southwick: "This is exactly what the sport is about - a young rider working his way through, showing commitment, and earning an opportunity" Noble words from Dan there. Just one slight issue...Poole still won't consider running an NDL team. The Happy Clappers down there don't like NDL racing, so there is no money to be made. Poole continue their policy of letting other tracks run the NDL, and they can pick out young riders when it suits them. Poole Parasites

Would agree regarding British Riders.

I am inclined to agree, Bomber has had his chance and Brennan and Thompson are a lot better than most of the field let alone the other Brits. i would go further and do what other federations insist on, riders competing fully in their own federations leagues, I like Woffinden and he is still a good rider but him Lambert and Ellis should be riding in the UK if they want to ride in the British Championship, SON, World Cup and test matches, if they those to miss the UK (which clearly is their right) then they should miss out on National Championships and World Championship qualification places as well.

It’s a shame the Glasgow qualifier is on the same night as the Workington b Scunthorpe meeting , I would have loved to to the qualifier there .

Undoubtedly.... But. Unless a radical overhaul takes place, (which won't/can't happen), then what we have is what there always will be till it organically finishes..

Once a holiday is booked your f*cked

Plus, if anyone has booked a hotel you can get your money back the day before if you have to cancel... As long as you have paid the extra obviously, which, if you follow Speedway, you really need to...

Running it there way will only see a demise in the crowds especially when the die harders die.

We go through this every year. Regardless of possible underhand reasoning, what is it Speedway fans want?? We see hundreds of comments of ban RR / guests, makes the sport a joke. Then there's moaning (rightly so imo) that meetings are called off for rain from 5-8pm. People need to stop being selfish pr!cks and realise the financial implications just for fans alone. There are 100s of fans at King's Lynn that it's costing £40-£80 round trip for these meetings. Taking whole / half day holidays from work Absolutely, 100%, calling a meeting a day before is beneficial for the wider public, regardless of reason

The sport is beyond salvaging as a "proper sport" given the infrastructure around it that has been allowed to pervade over the past couple of decades... Therefore. Those who fund the sport make up the rules as they go along to suit their own requirements, which is fair enough as it is their money... They clearly have zero intention of the sport "being taken seriously" given the operating model they use, and the absence of any independent arbiters... "Being taken seriously" would be too expensive to implement, and would attract wider scrutiny, hence we have what we have... All promoters use the rules and regs to their advantage whenever they need to, and answer to no one but themselves, therefore can pretty much do what they want. And, as I say, it is their money funding their hobby and the sport, and, as we have seen, if any of them decide to walk away there isn't a large queue to take over their clubs...

How can you follow a sport when it’s run like that. Weathermen rule eh

Precisely, there was 60-80% chance of rain from from 11am-8pm yesterday according to every forecast you wished to look at. I'm no fan of calling meetings off the day before but its not unique to Lynn and others have done it only for the rain to not arrive.

Nothing is hidden - perhaps its hiding in plain sight!!

That’s why I walked away. Can’t stand the prat. Such a smug f****r

I’m up for it. Vote me and the boys in.

NO. You’re the first one on here criticising the Mickey Mouse product we have over here, but you can fully understand why clubs just call meetings off because they’re missing a rider? If the sport is EVER going to sort itself out again and be taken seriously, then absolute pi$$ takers like Chapman need to be driven out of the sport. I’m sorry but you just can’t have owners running and not running meetings on the fly whenever it’s convenient/inconvenient and basically cheating.

This amount of hammers Iain.

Well said about time the truth came out

try persons with significant control!!! its not difficult to find! Thus far the company has one share which is held by Mark Lemon!

Would that strapline also been known as a jockstrap.

Hanging off the hinges. Rotten posts been bodged

100%. They weren’t going to ride without their in form reserve, and an out of sorts Paco when they knew full well another home defeat would have in all likelihood ended their season in May. Very much the same as pit gate-gate, rather than run RR and a guest for two missing riders on Danish international duty, they make up a cock and bull story about a “broken pit gate”. Kings Lynn are a cowboy outfit run by absolute charlatans and they wonder why riders are constantly buggering off mid-season and show little commitment. It’s embarrassing.

I'll guest mod for you when you're unavailable.....

He’s left that for you.

Well here’s something to put that piss in.
