All Activity

Both clubs agreed the dates without anyone else having to get involved. Even with the guests Glasgow have too much fire power over the two legs for us to cause any real problems.

I can still see this being pretty close... If you match the top 5's up... Doyle v Kurtz Emil v Bewley Brennan v Lidsey King v Cook Thompson v Blodorn I reckon there could be no more than a 2 to 4 points difference... probably just in favour of Ipswich The big issue for Belle Vue could well be at reserve where I can see the Witches pair out scoring the Aces duo by at least 8 points... Really looking forward to it and hope that the relatively kind weather forecast turns out to be accurate...

Was that when he called Monmore his premiership home?

so is Wiktor Przyjemski, hes also in the main squad.

Ffs, I wish everyone would stop comparing British speedway with Poland, completely different animal, in Poland speedway is virtually the national sport, said it so many times how many other sports in Poland have any sort of history/following? Speedway is tribal over there like football here, so merchandising is big business and they buy the shirts etc and follow their team, that finished years ago in British speedway, probably around the time of the premier league starting and coverage of football increasing, one notable aspect of this happened this last couple of weeks, Lublin having to restructure themselves because council grants which most teams receive are being cut because there local football club is doing well and maybe that’s a sign of things changing.

No problem you know we’re I stand so keep it warm for me. Hope you’re well m8.

Good post rich,also with ever tightning budgets clubs are desperate to avoid any financial hit that can be avoided

Rightly or wrongly, we are in the situation these days where the decision on whether to run a meeting or not is decided on the basis of the weather forecast. You would think that the most reliable source would be the Met Office, their forecast predicted impossible conditions for speedway so I don't think the promotion can be blamed for their decision. As it turned out, had the meeting started at 7.30 prompt (as I think it should every week!) then its possible the meeting could have been completed. Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing!

I would wear the chocolate hat!

No it doesn’t, how much merch is seen worn inside the stadium ? Very little, I’m not having a dig at BV this is every track, it doesn’t have a brand or an identity, my son has a belle vue shirt and he is one of the very few who wear them on race night, the brand is what sells the team

I agree with that, supporters dont have that bond with their clubs that they used to have. When clubs had riders that were their riders that had an affinity with the club it was different, Belle Vue had Wilkie, PC, and Mort, Ipswich J Louis, Sanders, Davey, Kings Lynn Betts, Lee, Leicester Wilson, Coventry Boocock for example, fans and riders had that loyalty to their particular club. Today the riders are hired hands in comparison, but you could say the same about football too, times change and loyalty today is to Poland and the big money. Cant blame the riders considering the risks in the sport.

Talk of Ipswich roughing up the track, i dont think theres any need for them to do that to pull back six points against us, given our performances at Foxhall this season and our weakness at No2 and 6 and 7.

Fantasy needs to be turned into reality. Excellent post.

If it’s on I’ll eat my hat.

Exactly. However Cyclone knows best.We will see.

Even the one on the back straight that I have only ever seen open once on my many visits to the NSS?

Don’t bank on it again. Must have been a one off. Pity he can’t do it for Scunny. As forever blue said ,that was the reserve position.

Looks like rain due to stop after 16:00 and only small showers in the afternoon, deffo will be on.
