That Doyle fellas not bad is he.

Speedway is always stacked so heavily in the home team’s advantage. An odd away win now and again. The exception to the rule being Kings Lynn …

Up to the end of May, the top two tiers had used 77 Guests.... With so few meetings too!!!! Imagine trying to sell nonsense like that to any major potential league sponsor who isn't already within the UK Speedway Bubble?.. Is there any way forward for UK Speedway?..

Wasn't announced when I posted

Sadly even the most loyal supporters have become disillusioned with the offering and if you look at the lapsed supporters and even those who use to contribute on this forum no longer bothering it sums up why no one bothers any more. A few hardy souls will traipse along to the meetings but for what, a contrived league that holds meetings as and when and if someone is pissing in the wind it is called off because of adverse weather. Where did it all go so wrong. Time for a major reset and focus on young up and coming talent and stop pandering to a few who see the UK as a supplementary income to fund overheads without the need to over do anything apart from turn up at the track. The riders are not to blame but those who employ them are. These guys are contracted to overseas clubs paying top dollar and they are not going to jeopardise everything for a tin pot Monday/Thursday night league with six clubs where the teams are made up of the riders doubling up who are screwing the system by trying to make an annual return out of possibly 20 plus meetings. For the bean counters, work out how many evenings/days they actually race in the UK and then you have an idea of the restricted working pattern with individuals seeking an annualised return that does not stack up if compared to the alarm clock worker who in person in this the country has to graft five plus days a week or more to try and make a decent annual living. You then ask why would they attend a meeting simply to line the pockets of part timers. The sport has lost its way with supporters, sponsors and the trust of many. Fingers crossed someone comes along with ideas to turn it around because as a spectacle and Plymouth can prove it, racing and excitement can prevail, it just takes balls to offer the public what they want when they want it as opposed to the riders.

Karlsson is Swedish

Leicester often get beat fairly heavily at Belle Vue and then win easily at home

Masters has been dreadful all season so far, and we've never really gone that well at BV, need to be quick or you've got no chance.

An amazing £2,470 now raised for the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund through Nick Sharples and Carl ‘Stoney’ Stonehewer’s Skinflint Rally challenge 🙌

Leicester look shocking, so far off the pace, only Dan Thompson and Ryan Douglas look ok.

Very poor looking imo it's shocking, watching fra worky 🔵⚪️

After the Lord Mayor's show....

Smederna will use R/R for Chugonov who isn't yet fit to ride. Vargarna - Västervik is postponed.

What does the crowd look like ? according to Speedway updates the local morgue is busier on Christmas day

Belle Vue should hit 60 comfortably tonight … got 57 in the cup when missing home track experts Kurtz and Blodorn

I think it's now abundantly clear that unless you're starting in mid May, due to a global pandemic, a 6 team league is pretty 5hite!

I have to say that some of his posts were "interesting" to say the least although he did have some strange theories on some subjects which personally I thought were somewhat questionable but each to their own!

Its up north from where I live!!

Young up and coming Danes. Often got some good bikes and are willing to travel to improve. Maybe not replacement this year, but looking to the future could be future comets

Liverpool is a long way south from worky 😜

Definitely going to be sunbreak😂
