The best thing Sam ever done was giving paedo Shawn a slap in the car park. Shame he didn't stamp all over his head now looking back. 😂 Does anyone remember the 99 PLRC at Sheffield and former rider Derrol Keats glassing a fan in the bar? Sure he got banged up for it.

“You can’t hold a candle to this classy Dane” in reference to Brian Andersen.

hard charger. love that one.

Hadn’t yet returned to speedway in 2019, so missed this, but that’s ridiculous. Good to hear the person was banned. I don’t care if it’s a glass pint, a plastic tumbler or a toothpick; anti-social behaviour needs a hard line. The law of averages dictates a few idiots are inevitable amongst a crowd of thousands. During a meeting last season, I saw a grown man steal from the snack bar on the back straight at Ashfield. Ordered, took his food & drinks and walked straight out. The young boy behind the till was in shock, but what can you do? It’s also worth noting Ashfield is in one of the country’s most deprived areas, so again, the odd Neanderthal is almost unavoidable.

The fixture situation is a joke,and they wonder why they are losing fans. teams won’t use alternate race nights and only ride with guests when it suits it becoming farcical.

Have to say that much as he used to get angry and wait for somebody I don't remember him picking up a shovel and I just checked with him and you definitly mis- remembered that one 🤣 He was no angel for sure but don't think he needed to 'tool up'.

That’s a great ride from the guest tonight, Chris Harris.

I agree, all 5-1's are the same size !!. Craig Saul used to say that a lot at Rye House. Another one that annoys me is " He is so far ahead, he is in a different postcode " Hear that often on the Berwick streaming service.

Tatum gets worse wk on wk, cant remember which rider it was on Saturday but he'd just completed his 3rd ride and Tatum said erm err he had 3 outside gates still to come🤨 that makes 6 rides in my book not 5🤣

The phrase I hate is a big 5-1. For it to be big some 5-1's must be smaller. Its not big it significant, strategic or important. Ahhhhhhhh rant over.

Don’t be silly.

Yes it was Sam ! got clattered off on bend 2 and picked up the shovel and was ready for the opposing rider when he came back round after the race was stopped .

David Cheshire is the first Australian racer in Rivne and in Ukraine. https://gorka-speedway.blogspot.com/2026/07/blog-post.html

40 years since Igor Marko won the World Junior Championship. Rivne. July 13, 1986. https://gorka-speedway.blogspot.com/2026/07/40-13-1986.html

Ive heard that in many towns and city's across the country and not related to speedway🤭

I think the issue about the comparisons is we are comparing (generally) the one off final era to the GP era and you can't. Loram was an outstanding racer in the Chris Harris mould and was Screen and to a certain extent Smudger but they often lacked the consistency - although Loram did bag a title! Regardless of era etc to be crowned three times is placing him almost alongside riders like Mauger, Olsen, Briggs, Rickardsson, Crump, Hancock, Gundersen and Nielsen etc in terms of greatness purely due to the numbers of titles they all won.

The No1 phrase most used and heard... "Who have we got Guesting for us tonight?.

Not mine for once I should point out 😂

Not sure if it fits but reason he wasnt in the team this year was because he is riding in Denmark on Weds. Also i read he isnt as fit as he was hoping, so maybe not quite ready yet.

Marmande postponed - a number of riders seriously out of pocket. Jesse Mustonen and team ended up doing a 7,000km round trip from Varkaus in Finland for nothing.

Does Tobias Thomsen fit - subject to BSPL approval as I think there’s a rule about needing permission to sign a previous season’s rider who wasn’t in an original declaration.

Tatums meaningless “ Early doors” whatever that means. Two meaning less Lanningisms that used to drive me mad :- “( such and such )…..makes the jump” and the really dreadful “ Here comes Collins ( or whoever) high wide and handsome “ If you turned the sound off a and only listened to Lannings commentary you wouldn’t have a clue what was going on.

Delighted to hear KJP is as well as can be, given what happened. Ecstatic. The speed and the angle at which he hit that fence, then the way he lay, had me feeling a way I’d never felt. RE Cluff apologising. Good boy. Matter closed, but thousands were still witness to his act of self-serving narcissism at the expense of another riders’ safety and prevention of his medical treatment. That can’t be erased.

Whoosh...
