They did, unfortunately one of the riders decided he'd rather watch a meeting in Poland than ride for his UK club 🤷‍♂️ The rider always has a choice... to sign a contract or not, if he'd rather watch a meeting in Poland than ride for the Lions or if the Lions management want to arrange fixtures knowing he'll be away, fine... just don't expect me to pay £25 to indulge them!

Just seeking some clarity here. Did Dan have a choice regarding in Poland last night or was it an ultimatum from his Polish club?

I cannot like this post enough, it is everything that is wrong with the sport. Would love to see a Danny King go around Ipswich on a two valve or even a upright Jawa 897 and compare the times bet there won’t be much in it if at all.

Jason garrity to poole anyone

Hopefully not after Saturdays meeting Berwick should drop Lasse and sign Jordan

Bet it’s off

Dogging venue if you must know peering over a hedge🤣

I mean imagine the investment they could give! Bigger tracks and stadiums with AC, 1000cc bikes 😂 Speedway GP Riyadh followed by Joshua vs Fury 2. Coming May 2027!

Even if the decision was made to let Dan go & sign a rider who'll turn up every week, you'd still want to sign the best available option surely?

Charles Wright makes a comeback at worky on Saturday in jays memorial meeting 4 team tournament

Buster says 23 otherwise he'll walk away lol. Joking aside I hope they bring in a One Rider Over 8.00 Rule next season, Should have Kurtz, Bewley, Doyle, Fricke, Douglas & J. Holder on 8+. Would result in a fairer League that see's something like.... BV - Kurtz & Lidsey IPS - Bewley/Doyle + Musielak KL - Fricke/Douglas + Kvech LEI - Fricke/Douglas + Masters NOR - Bewley/Doyle + Lawson SHE - J. Holder & Pickering

But Leicester aren't in the Prem to "get the kids in" that's what the NL is for, they should pick the best riders for the Prem.

The new promotion need to get some of the fun elements back into the meetings. With Kevin and the late John Earey there was always interaction with the crowd and banter with the riders. I used to love Kevin's poems and still remember John Earey getting fined by the referee for delaying the meeting whilst he picked up Mars bars that were thrown to him, off the track. With Foz its all got so boring, has Foz ever cracked a joke or made a witticism in his life? As well as another announcer we need a character mascot that can help whip enthusiasm . On a positive note, last night it was good to see most of the riders do a lap of honour round the stock car track when they won a race, this should be the norm. How about having some flags with the new logo on that they can wave as they go round, smaller ones could be sold in the track shop for the crowd.

PGE Ekstraliga Riyadh Season.

Speedway UAE by the looks of it! Having to water the track after heat 2!

Very unpredictable year with average teams taking full advantage of weakened opposition. What will this week bring?

... and believe it or not that's what happens in proper sports 👍

The truth is that modern super-tuned finely-balanced machinery has ruined tacks like Ipswich. The rapid pick-up when the throttle is opened, plus the unpredictability on other than perfect surfaces makes them far less suitable on smaller tracks. The behaviour of these machines is resulting in more high-speed crashes (Jack Holder’s is a prime example) - previously that would only happen if the throttle jammed open. The riders are to blame for that incessant need to “improve”, yet all they’ve done is increased costs for everyone.

Charles Wright making his comeback tomorrow now at Workington in Jays memorial 4TT meeting

I don't care what the other promoters think. It's about they had it up them!

Of course it won't, and that's the point... Such a deterrent would stop so much nonsense being accepted... Similar to one point each and no rearrangement for called off meetings... That would ensure far more meetings that currently get called off would take place.. The nonsense has to stop...

What is this new fangled sorcery that you speak of?.. Easy to see why they call themselves Witches!!!

Handing facilities out willy nilly is hardly going to stop clubs from arranging fixtures when they know their riders are going to be away... you can continue to go and watch the charade if you like, I kept my £25 in my wallet last night, the first time I've done so with the Lions visiting Sheffield since they stepped back up into the top flight.

Comfy bears win. As we will take a hammering at reserve.
