Ablitt and Palm Toft back to their best at Workington -
This isnāt on the paying punter. Itās all on whoever signed him. Iām a bandits supporter and as sceptical as we all were most gave Cook the chance last year and actively supported him. I hold absolutely no ill feeling towards him as a person. He simply should not have been given a team place. The gym, motocross and his push bike seam to do his mental wellness the work of good. Speedway however just isnāt working for him anymore.

Oxford Cheetahs v Edinburgh Monarchs 27/5/26 19:30
IainB replied to NumberEight's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Hosepipes are no better, especially for an even watering but Oxford's Heath Robinson contraption is not fit for purpose and more reminiscent of an old man having a p155, which is why it always seems to be dusty there š· -
Edinburgh Monarchs Vs Poole Pirates 29th May 2026
LisaColette replied to Bitza's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I said that. It was from an interview when he last rode for Poole before this season so 2023? It was on when it was called piratecast rather than 15 heats later podcast thingy. If you wanna win at Poole tell Mitch to stay at home with his virus and get a guest in. No good in asking Masters for advice either as he struggled the other week for Oxford. Prob cos the track was super bumpy that week but...š¤·āāļø -
70's racing was no better, nor worse than today's, for me.. What made it stand out was the crowd sizes thus, the atmosphere got created that made you return.. BV's Yorkshire rivals would bring a good few coaches with them ran by their supporters clubs, whiich had several thousand members, meaning an "electric atmosphere"... Almost 20 teams in the league meant there actually looked line something worth winning, and the vast majority of riders were yours and no one elses, (apart from young UK lads being allowed to double up for development, rather than due to a lack of riders, or tier two clubs wanting to use tier one riders at a reduced rate).. Teams rode on their best nights for attendances, and the admission costs took up a far lower percentage of your disposable income after your bills are paid, than it does today.. And Guests were the exception, rather than the rule... The Superstars were on TV most Saturdays, and also crossed over into mainstream non sporting programming... The top lads rode massive averages, making them "box office" particularly away from home when you may only got to see them once... Their averages often being down to them picking the best gates, bonus points being included, a "gimme" tac sub ride against the weakest second string and reserve, and less "head to heads" than today against the oppositions top two, and, usually, especially at home, just four rides.... It was though, overall, the size of crowds that brought the atmosphere and made it "an event"... The promoters of today though still have thousands of "lapsed fans" who still closely follow the sport, but see no reason to attend UK League Speedway... A huge opportunity should the promoters ever one day decide to get these thousands of fans re-engaged with their version of the sport...
