All Activity

The interviews could deffo be better but that’s something to work on! Think they just need to relax more whilst giving them and let natural chat flow!

They may even show updated league tables after the meeting which BSN seem unable to do consistently! Who's doing the interviews in the pits? It looked like Havvy but sounded like Stoney 😂

Great team riding from Bewley to help Tate! I love how Belle Vue have all details, heat number and lap number and the 2 min countdown plus the riders live split. Just a couple heats early on they missed some action with not the correct camera angle but all in all this for me (BVTV) is better than BSN and TNT. I appreciate more info on screen whilst watching but just my preference.

Glasgow are not moving into the Premiership,there will only be one League next year. Birmingham gone, and rumours are Oxford as well,but which division.(Prem or Champ)

Imagine TNT doing the same for premier league. Arsenal vs Chelsea not on tv but Burnley vs Wolves is. Speedway is its own downfall sometimes.

They have never missed one before so it won't be a problem this time 😜

I think it's all about making sure they have shown the same number of meetings from each track by this time of the season.

Terribly sad day for Midlands speedway, will be there tonight. Hoping for a Lions win to keep the momentum going into the play offs.

Well they were wearing Glasgow Tigers race suit with #3 on the back but it doesn't look big enough to be Dan Thompson.

Just another throttle jockey 😂

Who did a few pre meeting laps? Looked fairly accomplished.

I wouldn't think Oxford riders are owed money. If they were Janowski's Polish team would not let him travel.

Interesting rut developing in line with gate 3 going towards first bend.

Oops... this was meant to be Brummies v Lions thread, forgot to edit topic fully after copying title of other thread.. Sorry! Been away for weekend so first time I've had chance to look at forum. Are there no longer any mods operating here?

Track looking well watered at the moment. Haven't been to midday BHM fixture for a while, looking very busy. Bad timing for the roadworks on Kirkmanshulme Lane! Hope no problems getting here for Bewley & Kurtz after late meeting in Poland last night.

blue sky's apart from the geoengineering. 🤣😎

Yes he will be helping greatly by giving him a wide berth on and off the track

so it should go to him being called a cheat is not a good thing to do, so he should get the financial benefit.

Hope the knob stays back in Australia

For anyone interested the following in Poland this morning: After the game, it was reported that Wtókniarz decided to protest Anders Thomsen's engine, on which he achieved this impressive result. In addition, the carburetter from the Vaculik motorcycle was also reported for inspection. Wtókniarz had to pay a total amount of 17 thousand zlotys for filing a protest, which, as it turned out, were thrown into the proverbial mud, because everything was fine with the Thomsen engine and Vaculik carburetter and Wtókniarz's protests were rejected. Interestingly and ironically at the same time, a large part of the deposit paid for the protest against Andersen Thomsen's engine will go to the Dane's bank account. - They checked what was with my engine. They thought I was cheating that my engine was too big. They opened it, they started checking. I thought it was even smaller. And so it was indeed. 500cc power is allowed, and I had about 495. It seems to me that no one in PGE Ekstraliga is cheating. The money stays with me. - the Dane commented on the situation

Ian Thomas was a top promoter of speedway. And presentation was a strong point of his. I'll always recall the 1970 season when packed crowds at Derwent Park saw and heard the Comets (and away 7) march from the pits to starting area with the track staff to the Radetzky March by Strauss...that tune is still my fave classical piece. The sometimes downside was when you only counted 6 Comets - Ian would explain Bob took a fall last night, at Sheffield, so R/R will operate (naff to hear this about Bob Valentine). Although sometimes riders had just arrived and missed the aforementioned march however made their heats. But most certainly great days to live on in the memory bank. UTC.

I would assume in Poland everything is checked multiple times and the seriousness of the sport and the money at stake nobody would take that risk, I did also suspect it was a move by Częstochowa to move the barrier I’ve of them not doing as well as they should into Stal.

Not really a surprise.Doyle was as fast when he was on the outside line.👌
