  1. Past hour
  2. To be honest I don't think its a bad thing, its been a bit 'vanilla' the last few seasons, particularly Lynn's end, let's get a little bit of needle back to whet people's appetite.
  3. ... and Workington... and Scunny who had doubts surrounding their return... and Edinburgh who seemed set to lose their stadium a couple of years back. And if you count doing quite well, a league of just 9 teams and having lost Somerset, Newcastle, Rye House, Birmingham, Stoke, Sheffield, Leicester, King's Lynn & Ipswich over the years as "doing quite well" that's a very strange measurement. Poole & Glasgow are "doing quite well", I'd say the rest are clinging on by their finger tips! Mr Morris also engaged with the fans, I personally spoke with him on the phone after the play off semi debacle a couple of years back. He set up the fans forum with fan representatives and I know of others who he has reached out to when they have been ignored by individual clubs. You may reply "what actual good did that do?" but as @mikebv he picked and addressed all of the low hanging fruit anything more radical he was never going to be allowed to do with no stake in the sport financially.
  4. Lawson is now at Ipswich, he knows the score there and understands he needs to throw some shade King's Lynn's way, it helps get fans on side. Especially after they've lost Emil & Jason as their top guys.
  5. Poland’s entries( Golden Helmet result) Przedpelski Janowski Prem Pawlicki 1 Wildcard to be named soon
  6. Poland have 3 spots taken by( Golden Helmet result) Woryna Kubera Piotr Pawlicki
  7. Let's be honest, the "improvements" made have pretty much all been suggested on here down the past few years... All very basic, cosmetic changes... Fundamental change was never going to happen, given so many promoters are quite content with their lot... Fans say that want to see the sport have credibility, integrity, and able to be taken seriously, however, to be fair to the promoters, I have never seen those apirational aims ever being quoted from themselves as objectives to be achieved... To run UK Speedway "properly" as a team sport, takes more money, and also, brings close scrutiny, which UK Speedway doesn't stand up to well when it happens.. Phil made those obvious, quick win, changes, (which was more than had been done by others), however, ultimately, those running UK Speedway know that their skill sets are not what the sport needs, (hence it is where it is), but definitely won't relinquish control of it to someone else who may be able to lead it in delivering its true potential... I presume the lack of a TV deal meant no more job for Phil? As, again I presume, this helped pay his salary?.. The sport, 100%, needs grabbing by the scruff of the neck, with someone showing ambition, vision, and drive... It sadly just will never happen...
  8. Do you work for the BSPL? Old fashioned, outdated, and unwilling to change..
  9. Will be a shame 100%. Who else that isn’t tied to their own club is there to oversee the running of things? Bit of a worry tbh.
  10. Today
  11. I think Belle Vue are out whatever happens due to their negative points difference. If Sheffield and Leicester each win their home legs and Leicester take the aggregate point, all 3 teams finish on 5 points but one of those 2 will end up with a positive points difference, so it's impossible for Belle Vue to finish top.
  12. If he's gone I think its a great shame he brought ideas and professionalism to the Premiership and having the guy who directs the GP series could only be a good thing. Assuming he is still involved with Speedway Futures and that still has legs then hopefully we haven't seen the last of him.
  13. Agree and I think we’re all intrigued and looking forward to seeing PHB ride on Thursday. It’s the one signing that has generated a bit of interest and without him, it would all have felt a little flat with all due respect to the others. I’ve said it before, but I’ve always wanted to sign a Rew/Bangs every winter because it freshens things up and gives us someone new to run the rule over. We recycle the same old riders here generally and we know everything about them, what they can do, and how they ride. Bangs gives us that element of the unknown which is exciting. Impossible to predict how he’ll get on mind you. Seems a talent and a good signing on the face of it, but then again I thought Francis Gusts was a good signing for Oxford and he turned out to be awful so you never can tell.
  14. Meanwhile the 'untouched by Morris' Championship is going quite well ( aside from the greyhound-affected Oxford situation)!!😉
  15. Yesterday
  16. 1 out of 1 for the year 😎
  17. With Kurtz maybe, but don't think Blodorn would of scored as many as Jeppesen. Was a poor watch in all aspects really, stream was very poor compared to the effort that goes into the BV one.
  18. Cook's away average will be 0 0 0 3 or 1 1 1 3 depending on which Kildemand turns up.
  19. Would Aces have won with Kurtz & Blodorn.. who knows. Guessing we hope Lions get aggregate win over Tigers. Strength in depth teams can prevail but isn't great having a Bewley. Hope he was as entertaining tonight as he was at midday. Jeppeson is an untidy uncompromising sort, but he's much more useful than I gave him credit for.
