  1. Past hour
  2. yes i paid 23 to get in then 28 on 4 pints.😁 it was ok, nice setting in the country side, but not a lot of good viewing areas, unless you pay extra 4 for a seat. crowd looked ok too.
  3. 'Team planning being underway' can mean anything from writing some names down on the back of a fag packet to having conversations with riders. I expect to some extent every team has starting some form of planning with several league structures/limits in mind.
  4. So with No Cairns for the pirates they operate R/R, I was very surprised to see that Rushen has a higher average than Cairns meaning Kerr can’t take a ride and it’ll be just Rushen and then Kennet and Slater. I’m sure it’s not ā€˜another’ error on the GSA
  5. The trouble with fans on here is that you do not understand the minds of those who run the sport. Any rule implemented is followed by the clause " unless of course we change our minds or it does not suit one of the members /fellow promoters or any other reason we can think of ", of course any reason given does not concern the fans because they do not need to know because we are the rulers and they are here just to hand over there hard earned each week. Mind you if Richard and Tom had not raced for the Tigers last night I think the score would be closer to the maximum 75-15
  6. Totally agree Mike, you can see how much the standard has fallen when you look at the quality of the British Final, Lambert apart from the Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons at Brandon. And as the standard has fallen the prices have gone up, as more fans walk away it will keep increasing to make up the downfall till even the die hard fans walk away, as have many this season when you look at attendences around the tracks.
  7. Love it or hate it, Flat track is a growing sport & the only one that is under the Track Racing banner. It is bringing more riders from all over the World that have experience in different disciplines of Motorcycle racing & in turn manufactures are becoming interested & I suspect we are not far away from Factory teams at the highest level. It will take time to bring in public support as it is a new sport for many & the riders are not from the higher end of their previous endevours. In the FIME event mentioned Tom Woolley will be remembered for a spell in the NDL & in the FIM championship Ashton Boughen made it to the Premiership as a rising star & was a top Moto X racer. When teams start to establish their selves more money will be available to produce race bikes available off the shelf ready to race at club level & i feel Flat Track will grow & possibly stage events alongside the SGP as SGP2 have already done
  8. Presumably your 30.54 is based on the last Green Sheets but the figure is now less. Carrying three two pointers would take the team total to a bit over 36 ! And that's before the British rider reduction for team building
  9. A "perfect storm" this season... The Aces kept two out of the world's top three, and the loyalty shown to Blodorn, Cook and Zischke is paying its dividends, and having one of the best RS's is an obvious plus... Sheffield lost Holder and didnt replace him, Leicester chose not to go with Fricke and didnt replace him like for like, and Ipswich lost Sayfutidinov and Doyle, and also couldn't replace them LFL... Northampton cobbled together a team due to the short notice and, of a level that the obvious understandable uncertainty around crowd numbers reflected,, and KL didn't maximise having Fricke... Signing Kurtz and Bewley also meant the opportunity to bring in very good riders to replace them when missing... Keeping that team together next season sadly won't happen, but, like any and every year, it really should, as dumbing down each season doesn't push the standard forwards..

  11. t’s second leg time to decide the destiny of the Pioneer Cup on Saturday (15th) - with the Fen Tigers looking to overcome a 14 points deficit from the first leg, held at Iwade all the way back in May. The Eagles come with a strong heat leader line up headed by a rider who, remarkably, hasn’t ridden at West Row for just a few days short of 20 years: one time SGP rider and many times GB international, Edward Kennett. He’s backed up by ā€˜Mr Kent Speedway’ himself, twice National League Riders’ Champion, Ben Morley and former Fen Tigers’ rider, Jack Kingston. Morley and Kingston won the Pairs event at Mildenhall in the last meeting of course. Top individual scorer in that event was Simon Lambert - and the multi-British Finalist lines up on Saturday for the Fen Tigers - along with twice NZ national champion Ben Whalley and there’s a return to Mildenhall colours of the ever popular Arran Butcher. Making a Fen Tigers’ debut will be Championship rider, Vinnie Foord. Teams (to be confirmed - not in riding order) Mildenhall Simon Lambert Vinnie Foord Ben Whalley Aaran Butcher Luke Harris TBC Kent Eddie Kennett Harry Sadler Jack Kingston Ryan Ingram Ben Morley Connor King
  12. look out for the Young Stars 2027 featuring Scott Nicholls
  13. Food and Drink purchases will be considered important... Even if only renting as it will keep the landlord happier... A nice hot evening could mean a few visits for some cold drinks...
  14. Similar to Poole in the Championship since they dropped down.
  15. Today
  16. Thought the track staff did a great job, we all knew that with the current weather it would be dusty and not great racing but thought they did well....now the negative side that could of been avoided, nigh on two hours for 15-20 minutes of action, simply not good enough, more of a "dig" at the referee and officials. Absolutely unsatisfactory and no need for that length of time to run a meeting, there were no major hold ups in terms of re-runs or timely crashes etc.
  17. maybe show some ambition and come challenge us, but then dont bother because you stand no chance anyway
  18. The FIA have lifted restrictions on Russian competitors, you would think the FIM follow suit?
  19. 13.08.2026: Metalkas 2 Ekstraliga R14, Krosno v Rybnik: https://vkvideo.ru/video-234681448_456239326
  20. Not actually true and after the application of the British Riders team building reduction all would be under 8.00. There is a general assumption that the 8.00 rule stays in its current form. Isn't it more likely that the cut off point will be set so that each team can only have one of the top X riders where X is the number of teams in the league.
  21. Monday’s match line-ups Fjelsted v Region Varde Fjelsted 1 2 3 4 5 Region Varde 1 2 3 4 5
  22. Yesterday
  23. And the name of the league itself. Development League!! Maybe Lambert and Kennett are slow burners!!
  24. Yup…….and then there’s Poole…….🤣
  25. No - otherwise a one day suspension would end before the following days matches. Therefore meaning a 1 day suspension would involve missing no possible meetings
