It could be YOU!!!

That was a meeting we probably should have won. Difficult to foresee away wins this season with Bomber having a poor Championship so far.

Paid Six on an away track ?……..think you maybe wrong !

Flint 6+1 from 5 is very poor when you look at who he beat.KJP got 7 from 4 and it’s probably his 1st visit.Its not going to plan yet for Tigers.Unbeaten in League at home though which is a bonus.

No Scunthorpe v Glasgow topic, emphasising how disillusioned both sets of fans are. Never achieving anything in a meeting your number one and captain scores three points. Away from home, I don’t actually think you can criticise anyone else. While we might appreciate a point or two more from Flint and Hodder, they delivered their average which, on the road, is the least you’d expect. Credit goes to Howarth for a great evening. Feeling somewhat deflated that this season will amount to nothing.

Plus current bunch Pickering aside will be cheap as far as riders go.

Is that the same Dan Bewley who fluked a win in Cardiff 2024 when he barely deserved to be in the semis?

All made sense until you said the word "open the wallet" you have more chance of breaking into the deepest vault in the bank of england than said wallet.

I'm almost too afraid to post this.. Maybe he should bring it back for his cap then 🫣

Excellent win for Scunny. Great team performance.

At Football though it'll generally be the Police that delay a start due to crowd safety... you've not got Sir John Ratcliffe faffing about at the only 2 turnstiles open at Old Trafford scratching around in his pockets for some pound coins due to a lack of change 😂 Start time should be start time imo. If Ippo want to have their parade at 7:30 great! Just advertise the start time as 7:45, you shouldn't really have different tracks doing different things. If Ippo cancel their parade due to weather heading in (when that used to happen) did they start at 7:30 or 7:45?

The ref will just follow local protocol. If the CoC says we start at 7:30 with a parade the ref will just say OK. The ref merely controls the match not the clubs procedures.

Should be fine on Wednesday then!🤣

And EVERY £25 counts!!!!

There are always people late at football matches, because you see the empty seats gradually filling (and at the start of the second half too). Although, to be fair, a couple of Prem matches were delayed this season because of problems on the roads, which prevented access to the stadium. Plus, speedway is nothing to do with football - or any other sport. It's British speedway tradition for the parade to be part of the meeting, i.e. Ipswich speedway has always advertised the start time as the time of the parade, i.e. 7:30pm and first race at 7:45pm. I really don't see what the problem is - in the list of British speedway's problems, this must be rate in the bottom half a percent.

Both had been practicing on track for a lot of Friday

Really? 😂

The contempt shown towards every speedway follower sums up why the sport is in decline. It does not deserve to be taken seriously and the pig headed ignorance of those who happily take your entrance fee but give little or no guarantee that you will get what you pay for is contemptible and those who are in charge work on the basis of caveat imptor which sums up everything that is wrong with what at best is a form of entertainment but actually falls short of being entertaining. Many people who use to be avid supporters/followers were major contributors to this forum but just look at the limited number of responses to any given match on each meeting compared to a few years back and that in itself is a measure of how far it has become a joke. Anyone with money invested in UK speedway needs to get out asap. It is not an investable proposition and in its current state has no chance of attracting the exposure it needs to grow. Is Rachel Reeves in charge.?

Well I'm thinking that was a bit of a result especially considering their lack of experience, pity Cooper only got the one ride. Back to Pirate matters, it'll be great having Rushen back on Wednesday as I'm guessing it will be r/r for Bowes.

ask mr bee..

What is also unforgivable was the total wall of silence regarding any TV coverage despite their socials being flooded by fans asking where it could be watched. Complete failure by the hallowed Mayfield Sports Events!

You do wonder what planet those who oversee these fixtures are on. The genuine speedway follower can only look on in dismay as those in charge seem to have no idea and how to maintain support let alone attract new punters. People decry WWE and the fixed results but those in charge of speedway are not far short of making a mockery of a sport that does not need these jerks running it. WWE almost looks legitimate by comparison.

Will this be on tv?

Be more than rocket man at it 😜

Not as much of a joke as Dan Bewley going unbeaten with 18pts at the German GP. A guy scoring 8 scraps into the silly last chance saloon and ends up with 20 points, 2 more than Dan. Now that is a joke of a system.
