Jacobsen on a 3 point average now, so with the 5% allowance for a home guest not much if any choice at 3.15

Was plenty of that at Redcar on Friday nite 😜

While I don't agree with much of what the petition requests, and therefore won't be signing it, I do agree that riders should commit to riding a full season in the UK if they want to ride here. Not every rider is going to find a team place in Poland, far from it, if they want to take their chances fair enough. British Speedway can't afford to be granting facilities left right and centre due to riders being elsewhere it's so damaging to the sport in the UK. Many riders have played the "I'm going to concentrate on Poland" card in the past only to come back mid way through the season with their tails between their legs due to not being picked to ride. There's only, what? 3 divisions of 8 teams in Poland, that's 168 team places in a very very crowded market. Don't get me wrong I'm not blaming the riders solely for British Speedway's ills the promoters have to take massive responsibility for allowing the sport to get to the position it is currently in but rider demands certainly hasn't made things any easier for promoters.

Wonder how many drop outs there will be after the Friday/Saturday meeting would think there’s at least 4 of that 16 won’t be there Sunday

Never mind Geoff! Not sure many thought he was going to get paid 14.

This sounds all very KL book of excuses!

Far from it- but your suggestions are ridiculous. The sport needs big changes, but telling riders its Britain and nowhere else would just result in the majority packing up to go abroad. Poland pays, more than any British club could or will. and these boys have such short careers, giving their bodies and often livelihoods for this sport and you want to be the one to tell them to cut their options and do Britain only? Get real.

Thats a fortunate electrical fault with Bandits due to be missing two main riders 😉. Not the first time a club has had an issue when riders are absent, wont be the last, but the fixtures are piling up and yet we've seen little action in the key summer months.

One I increasingly dislike is "rider 1 off of gate two, rider 2 off of gate 4, grammatical nonsense, "from or in" would be perfectly acceptable. 🤣

Yeah, hard not to think Vinnie has let the team down tonight, not what was required.

3 weeks to sort a bike out no excuse

"We’ve sat scratching our heads; is it the price of fuel that is now putting people off coming on top of everything else? Last time against Leicester, was it the heat that kept people away?" No it was Dan Thompson being sat in the pits somewhere in Poland that put me off paying for fuel and entrance to watch my "team"

"we’ve got a new heat sponsor coming on board for the first time tonight" does this mean another Tigers fan has died? As whenever I attend most heats seem to be in the memory of somebody or other🤷‍♂️

Doubt he planned on having an electrical fault on his bike mind.

Enough of your absolute tripe and get back to talking about speedway, you absolute oxygen thieves hiding behind anonymity on here. Absolutely fed up with yous spouting your garbage trying to 1 up each other. It’s a speedway forum to talk about, you guessed it, speedway!!! Now either grow up or deactivate your accounts because I can guarantee your p*****g the majority of us off on here!!

He turns the bike too hard to make an outside pass work because that scrubs off speed and he tries to go under those in front all the time - it works sometimes but not if the rider in front is on fast line.

Well I don’t think that would sit well with people but who knows?!

"Methinks thou dost protest too much". 🙄 (Quote: William Shakespeare). Hamlet. Anyway, that's my lot on this.

I try not to have any, then I don't get complained about as much

Perhaps if vinnie had his act together if wouldnt have happened

Thanks for the update.

Garritty?

Guessing he won’t ride tomorrow but no update yet. He ran into the back of Lambert on the 1st bend and they were both down for a while. At a guess I’d say Jordy Loftus will probably be guesting for him.

Just shows how the guest rule can be used bowes would never have scored those points

What's the Holm Jakobsen situation for tomorrow night? and what happened with him tonight at Redcar?
