But. ..... The swifter rearrangement of rained-off BSN and KOC has been demanded by everyone to prevent finals having to be held in the darker reaches if October To achieve these faster restagings, clubs are therefore unable to decline away dates that don't totally suit them. Can't have it both ways ......

Thanks- some idiots don’t lol

Thanks for your input as always.👍

Pen ran out of ink midway through signing

Need to re-sign Jake Allen, he’s going well at Redcar picking up loads of points.🤣

Thanks to R&R again for doing this, I’m backing the Brits tnt. Bewley £100 more Lambert £100 more

Another emphatic win coming up for the Witches

Was Melnychuk the Ukrainian rider looking for a place over here last season? Looked like he'd be a solid option for someone if he was available.

I don't think I used the word Bribed. As for Hagon, you don't have to have a logo on a team suit to sponsor the team. Look at the end of the day when it comes to the final, as long as we stay clear of injuries. The team picks itself. Unless the riders who rode last night had to pay for their own expenses, then I can't fathom why so many were overlooked? Unless as you say, all the riders who are imo better than Cairns and Flint, turned it down. Lawson's article in the star suggests otherwise.

Up against a weak field

Pickering will get fed up being the lone man

It's all very well and good having a professional national team, which has absolutely knocked anything that came before out of the park, but... to what end? How does it benefit British Speedway? It very nearly wasn't even on TV last night and even then behind a £30+ per month pay wall. We don't even get to see the national team in on track action in this country and the only connection it has with fans is through social media.

Tbh tonight is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things win lose or draw. We need to win tomorrow to progress.

I didn’t name any rider. Deliberately. Many have a claim for a place, been offered a chance to ride in a lesser event, turned it down and now want to come in for the big event. Should they be allowed to leap frog those that have shown commitment to GB? Or do they need to show a little humility in order to earn a place? But I accept it’s a dilemma - Painter and Blackwell have built a group around them to develop a winning team and, with the exception of last year have done really well. My view is that part of the success is continuity - the team is stronger as a whole than the individual parts. Bringing in riders on a one off basis runs the risk of ruining that continuity. And as far as paying for a rider to compete - where is the evidence that Paul Cairns has paid (bribed?) GB to allow Will to ride? And suggesting that Hagon Shocks sponsorship - when was that, by the way, as I don’t recall seeing their logo on GB Team suits in the recent past - has got Sam a team place isn’t really borne up by the facts. The main team that rode last night were chosen on merit. The reserve perhaps on availability - and willingness to race. And we qualified. What more do people want?

Lindgren £200 less

Makes sense why would he want to help Edinburgh 😂

This could be a cracker, Redcar usually do well at the GT tyres Northside arena, but the last 2 meetings the patched up Comets have done a great job getting 2 fantastic wins, predict a Comets win but run off for the bonus points 🔵⚪🏁😃 UTC hope the racing is as good as last week, with yesterday's rain lots of moisture in the track

It use to be, promoters would build a team, so at least they could win at home. It seems Godfrey is not too bother one way or the other on that score. Maybe when he has no supporters left he might take action. I doubt it it!!

When will the GB management learn? Watching heats with Leon or Will running a last against Bartoz, Brady & Lindgren just won’t do it for the fans back home. Far better to see Lawson, Harris, Thompson or King running a last instead. Until these people in charge cater to the fans needs then there’s no way we will add to all the FIM gold medals picked up recently. At least if Lawson was in the team then GB could make a bob or two as he could re plaster the changing room wall that Nikki Pedersen had punched multiple holes into.

Agree there should be no facilities for missing riders.

Flinty guests for PK

Zmarzlik £200 more Kubera £50 more Madsen £50 more

So, Lawson's quote in the star. " I must have pissed someone off. didn't even get a phone call," Is what lies? 15 point max on Wednesday, 10+3 at Northampton the following night, but in Allan's words. "I would rather pick someone with enthusiasm." Last time I looked, Enthusiasm over talent doesn't win you trophies. Yes, Lawson is not into riding British finals and open meetings, etc., but he obviously would like to have been picked to ride for Team GB. Being a good rider, it seems is only part of the equation if you want to be part of Team GB Limited. You say, and I quote, "(insert your own chosen name here) whose first question is “how much will I get paid? I could turn that on its head and say the first question Team GB ltd ask is, "How much are you willing to pay to become part of the team?" It's already been mooted that Cairns dad paid through sponsorship for his boy to be picked. Hagon's dad sponsored them the other year. Next thing you know, he became part of the Team GB setup!! Sad state of Affairs when Speedway starts going down the same road as F1, where you have to pay to get your place on the team.

Finding a strong 4th rider is going to be a challenge. Let’s face it Bewley and Lambert is all we have at World Level.

Not sure, but is what it is.
