  1. Past hour
  2. I mean its a bit of ai that anyone could've designed.
  3. Should be banned for 14 days. Took 6 rides at Ipswich with no problems and after his final race asked for a medical certificate.

  5. Meeting off tomorrow at kings Lynn. With the recent hot weather they are concerned that the wooden spoons in the trophy room may catch light causing significant improvements to the stadium 😉
  6. No idea, but my sources are telling me it’s off… could be wrong though 👀
  7. All fair points, however.... The ultimate issue over the last two decades in particular has been the lack of a joined up development plan for UK riders... That has resulted in almost 200 guests being used per season, restricted race nights so riders can double up, resulting in contrived competitions with little credibility, and with hardly any rewards... To unpick all the self inflicted issues, and gain back all those fans who have left the sport behind is, I would say, sadly beyond achievable now... Even if those running the sport over here had the skill set to do it...
  8. Due to a proposed new signing not being done in time ?
  9. My favourite season was 1990 too. Chris Louis Alan mogridge dean standing Shane parker and David Norris provided brilliant entertainment home and away. Young hungry riders going places. Although Dean standing didn’t fulfill his promise he was an incredibly stylish rider who should and could have had a long career in the sport.
  10. I don't want to get controversial - but I will. I think a big part of Speedway's problems started with the Laydown Engines, and the 4-Valve bikes used in the 70's. It started the free for all with the Engine Tuners. Spiralling costs due to Engine Tuning etc. contributed to increasing the price at the gate, thus taking the Sport out of reach of very many people. Costs became prohibitive crowds grew smaller and smaller. This is where we find ourselves now. There is no doubt in my mind that the old 2-Valve was cheaper to run, safer for the riders, and no real advancement has been shown on the Track. The 2-Valve may have been fractions slower but, what we gained in speed, we also gained in injuries. Tracks built for Speedway nowadays can't cope with the the new 'rocket ships' that riders are using at the moment, hence the big increase in injuries. Tracks haven't changed much since 1928 - but the bikes have. THAT to me is a problem also. I don't believe that the GP System has done British Speedway any good either. Personally, I much preferred the old 'one off' World Final.
  11. Miracle recovery from Nicolai Klindt today in Rybnik winning his first 4 races must have flown over Lourdes on his way ✝️ Pulling moves like Michael Jackson while digging his start positions out at the gate with seemingly no ill effects from his knee injury 👍🏻 Must be a relief for all of the Bears' fans. 🐻🍵🍵
  12. Although he once decided the track needed extra moisture prior to a meeting and reportedly took a water bowser onto the track at the Cowley stadium but heavily overwatered it, leaving the circuit completely unrideable and forcing the meeting to be abandoned.
  13. Today
  14. Rushen is available for this one so of course they won’t! They’ll give this one every chance.
  15. Sorry for the late arrival, but do we have to pay using this link now. I used to be able to get on it for free?
  16. Links for Rybnik v Krosno: https://vksport.vkvideo.ru/video-53550004_456242666 https://vkvideo.ru/video-234681448_456239221
  17. Just randomly came across this on Twitter/X. Superb 👏🏻
  18. ... and why haven't the Poles got words for "Man of the Match"? Listening to the commentator jabbering away in Polish and then all of a sudden I hear them say "Man of the Match" 😂
