Don't give them ideas

Waterpolo at KL....

When the season is running, people want momentum and routine. If you have big, erratic gaps between meetings, some fans lose the habit, find other things to fill their evenings, and just drift away. The winter break is different because everyone knows exactly when it starts, when it ends, and the anticipation builds up for opening night of the season the closer you get.

Seems very little interest in Lynns 3 appearance at Foxhall since April 9th not surprising given Lynn have been the opposition in 3 of the 5 home matches so far.

Can they realistically bring Zagar back but retain Jeppesen?

Derwent Park was a much better track than Berwick, went to the pairs 2 or 3 times there and was always good racing.

Funny old game, innit? Leon rode his socks off, and got very, very close to the (excellent) Peter Kildemand at the finish of Heat 15. No more than a wheel behind at the flag. If he'd snatched the win, all the Tigers on here would be saying how he had grabbed the draw, and he was the hero of the hour.

...erm, not sure about that?!

I do like an in depth analysis of a heavy defeat... looks like the Leicester media "team" just lifted his comments from what he said on BSN.

Speedway has always used the motto No brakes no gears no fear,,, it's not working, so let's change it up,, add some brakes, add some gears and add some fear,, change the engines to 1000cc, let's make it more dangerous and faster with more chance of serious injury or worse. Isle of Mann TT is very popular due to its massive danger

Face it, Northside circuit on its very worst day is better than Derwent Park's track was on its best.

Well, someone is running this site -- and lifting a tidy whack in advertising revenue!

Having your backside scalped (as Stewart Dickson has described it) must be very painful. Never experienced it myself - is it some S&M thing involving leather and straps?

MotoPolo?

Quickest way to make speedway popular again is by somehow adding a ball,, people love ball sports. Football, Rugby, Golf, Tennis, Basketball, Handball, Netball, Snooker and so on,, all more popular. Each lap the riders try and kick a ball into the goal or hole or hoop, or over the net,,, simples

I don't care 😂 ... the one he's doing crapest in 🤷‍♂️

What league is he dropping?

Becker?

I read your first two sentences and thought I was reading the current 2026 SCB rulebook...

Point taken.

But our tracks also don't cause as many serious injuries as Poland ad the other countries do

I’ve gotta go I’m crackers

The plan was to have 2027 completed well in advance.... July would be "well in advance"... They are running an operating model simply unfit for any purpose other than giving riders a chance to earn a living riding Speedway... Two leagues being ran of similar inconsequence.. "Any Speedway" being put out, devoid of any jeopardy, consequence, or credibility... And all done on nights to suit riders but not necessarily the fans.... In 1976 you would walk into Woolworths on a Saturday morning, and it was heaving, with people of all ages, as kids even went there to buy records and pick n mix.. In 2006 you would walk into Woolworths on a Saturday morning and it was empty apart from a customer base of a sparse number of 50+ somethings.. But the stores, and their operating model, stil looked like it was back in 1976... UK Speedway is Woolworths... Decades of zero plans to move the business forwards due to the lack of skill set of those running it, and a reliance on doing the same thing every year, and hoping an ever dwindling, and ageing, customer base would suddenly, one day, wake up and decide to return.. They didn't in Woolworths case, and they won't for UK Speedway... It needs proper, radical change...

You won’t leave. You live for this forum 😂

I’m deffo leaving forum as I’m upsetting too many folk on here
