Hi SJA, This is not true. We at BSN work around the club and their own grading schedules. We don’t and never have dictated anything in regards to the running of a meeting - we are simply there to document it. We interview to fill time because there is a track grade or interval, not the opposite. Regards, Ben Duffill (BSN)

Evening Daniel, This is on top of gate receipts, sponsorship and TV money - so I can assure you the budget was considerably over £150,000 per annum. All the best

I wish I had a quid for every time I've seen this posted

Please can you refrain from talking sense on this forum

I must be honest Ben I think your coverage is superior to Eurosport

I rarely have any problems on the M6 from Cannock to Altrincham (A556 junction) getting to or from Belle Vue. The M6 through Walsall & Birmingham is just awful, permanently, even on a Sunday when we often go to Coventry Blaze it can be awful. The biggest problem getting home from Belle Vue on a night is if the meeting ends 21:45 or later because the M56 is often shut at 22:00 and A roads to Altrincham are not fun. There was an awful lot of tractoring, before the semi I think the entire stadium erupted when the tractor finally left the track. Track was certainly not as good as when the Aces visited a few weeks ago.

I don't think he deals very well with logic...

Read the Star today - interview with Alex Brady - but also KL suggesting they brought in Hoggard as TM so Buster can focus more on Peterborough! Don't shoot the messenger!

Many supporters talk sense, but the clowns in charge just Bury their heads in the sand and wonder why the sport is dying on its ar#e

It's about time the young kids got protection from being dropped all the time, then bringing in older journey men who have not made the grade all these seasons!! How about having a rising star at No 7 all year, and a under 24 brit at 6, and another under 24 brit in the team, bit similar to what Poland do

Charles Wright and the 3 who pick themselves... We have 3 of the worlds top 10, with two of them being absolutely top notch around their home track of Wroclaw at times this season.. Worrall would be my choice if at Vojens.. And Ellis seems to be having an injury impacted campaign... So why Wright? Wroclaw and the NSS are pretty similar in shape as both built around American Football pitches with wide, sweeping bends... And Charles does have that bit of "devil" in him when it all becomes "too close for comfort", he wont take any prisoners in those "clutch" moments of races... And you won't be passing him without having to take a risk or two. He will make sure of that. And if behind won't be scared of doing the odd "Bartek" across any of the apexes, and riding his opponent up the track... For me, it is a great opportunity to win in Poland's "backyard"... As long as we get "No 4" correct...

Also let's not forget that he was heavily involved in turning the Great Britain Speedway from also-rans to consitent medalists and World Champions!

Only way to improve is racing better riders.

how will that improve them, its no challenge at all riding against the same riders all night. If you have the best reserves at the beginning of the season that is a 20-4 point swing every meeting and the meeting is already won.

The only way NDL riders are going to improve is by bringing a heat change formula for the reserves. I'd suggest that the four reserves only race against each other in 4 heats with one start from each gate.

Could you act as a consultant with Eurosport on the Premiership meetings with regards to camera position, and also advise on direction ?

Was Phil Morris there? We all know how the GP tracks end up once he's been there....

2nd place might be good for clubs like Lynn and Ipswich, but it's not for the Panthers. Tonight was a failure. Let's not celebrate failure.

How could I be referring to you when your not on Facebook, you’ve answered your own question

Firstly well done to all involved tonight, but I’ve already seen a post on Facebook saying we won’t have anything to say or moan about now…ahh it’s ok we’ve only won once in 11 fixtures this year. But 2nd in a under strength pairs meeting fixes things for some

What a cock.

Absolutely! Always remember one of his interviews where he said after a World Cup and the whole gb squad were eating kebabs while he had his own food haha. That just shows had bad and unprofessional we actually were.

... and the ones that are currently used in the BL don't even last for a "single use"!

They may as well just stay in the NL of their only gonna meet fellow reserves, would also cause havoc with the averages, you'd have Newman & Mountain on 10+ averages. I'd certainly change to format so the weaker reserve has to ride at 7 & can't be replaced in heat 8 (Premiership rules) or use the old Elite League fast track format where there were too reserve races & they never met a heat leader, but do race second strings.

It's been the rule for a little while now that a non speedway injury/illness results in a 7 day suspension
