Surely from a cost perspective, potential promotions such as Cradley, Coventry Peterborough and the likes would see it as a sustainable business model. Clearly not!

I think some clubs saw it as a battle of the haves and have nots... but here we are some 30 years later in the same position only with half the tracks still running!

I never saw what the issue was with the 1995/96 model. Everyone with an out and out number 1 and a selection of riders on 5 6 and 7 point averages. I thought it was great seeing different opponents every week, but clearly that's common sense 🤔

It's not difficult to understand at all... but it's not better to finish 4th than 6th, 8th or 9th in the qualifiers as this puts you in LCQ2 with less points on offer. Your destiny is in your own hands finishing 1st to 4th in the overall meeting, whereas 5th to 10th seems to be a bit of a lottery.

You're better finishing 3rd than 4th; 5th than 6th; 7th than 8th and 9th than 10th. It's not that difficult to understand.

So you're better to finish 3rd, 6th, 8th or 9th in the heats than 4th, 5th, 7th or 10th because that'll put you in LCQ1 where the points for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th in that race is 1 point more than it is in LCQ2. Finish 4th in the heats and you're in LCQ2 finish 9th and you're in LCQ1... finish 2nd in either and 4th highest race points scorer gets 11 points and 9th highest gets 12 🤷‍♂️ But then you could finish 10th in the heats and win the bloody thing... I'm sorry it's just wrong in my book. I think I'd just prefer it if the same points were awarded for finishing 2nd, 3rd & 4th in the LCQ's. Ideally they'd be racing each other for the points but that doesn't seem to be the way these days. Good GP tonight though for what it was 👍🏻

You don't get a chance to score an extra point, you get the extra point if you've scored higher than the same finisher in the other LCQ scored in the heats. LCQ1 - 3rd, 6th, 8th, 9th LCQ2 - 4th, 5th, 7th, 10th. I see the argument that if you've finished 3rd on points, and are in LCQ 1, then you'll get more points for finishing 2nd than whoever finishes 2nd in LCQ 2 does. That's just the advantage of scoring the 3rd highest points score though. If the 5th placed rider from LCQ2 finished in the same position as the 6th placed rider did in LCQ 1, they'd get more points because of their score in the heats.

Lambert?

Tyre blow out of the season award? 🤔

Send it down here then 🥵🥵🥵 Our lowest temperature is 24/25 next week and some of the 'feels like temp' is 35 esp on Mon/Tues. Glad i don't have to prepare the track! Made me laugh on the news earlier 'no heatwave in Scotland, not even close.' They going to have a shock when they come down on Weds!

Well he was on Belle Vue & SGP socials collecting some Anlas award on behalf of Bewley. Assume he managed the Australian SoN2 team last night.

im not sure but i think something was wrong with them for press and practice so he got Worralls, mind you Gilkes seemed to get his sharpish,,,Tbh our set of riders should be untouchable around our track the amount of times they rode it but you get riders coming over showing us how to ride it after 1 race? I also think the main stumbling block is riders demands,big signing on fees,new bike or engines etc,but in interviews when they get picked up they always say "all i wanted was to get back on a bike" Everone slagged lambert off but he would ride for a packet of fags if it meant he was riding,

According to BSPL lists, Bandits' off-race night is Wednesday.

The choice of guest is so limited these days thanks to the size of the league, who's going to guest for Bewley? Irreplaceable really, maybe Fricke, but realistically it's going to be the likes of Masters, Brennan, Cook, King or Harris etc.

Business is never done at tracks. Always hotels 😜

Its a shame theres not a ruling where they could just sign riders for 1-5 matches in situations like this appreciate far from ideal but better than guests as an example if the aces got Emil for three matches you can guarantee all three meeting would have crowds above the average.

It was a great GP, good close racing, easy travelling, easy entry and great view. Only downside were the beer queues and they're was no merchandise on sale apart from Czech Speedway and Dudek had a stall.

Probably your age

Morris was overseeing it, saw him earlier on, along with Tony Olsson. Credit to him as well as he went and thanked everyone on the centre green personally, marshalls, 1st aiders etc.

Well Prague is the place to be this weekend. Superb weather, beer and racing. Great view at the start of the first bend, even got hit by shale three times. Just need a shower now to wash the dust off, but thoroughly enjoyed that meeting. Well done Leon.

Once again long suffering supporters will be subject to guests galore in what should be one of the key fixtures of the season, and yes before anyone says it because we cannot help injuries but it's just another nail in the coffin.

Agree 3 genuine talents.But as we can see there seems to be plenty young opposition.Wish them all the best.

Didn't see Lemo in the Prague pits tonight 😂

Funny reading the comments after the meeting. The track was watered every single time after 4 heats. And the tractors came out every single time too. There wasn’t one break where nothing was done. Phil prepped the track the same as the qualifying and remember seeing how much grip was on the outside and thinking if this is the same tonight we are on for a good meeting.

Heatwave hasn't got to Cumbria ☹️☹️ heavy rain last nite
