    Is the end nigh?

    That's your opinion, just like I have mine, not sure why you feel the need to call it narrow minded. I'm not old enough to have followed speedway back in the 70/80s, so I don't know what it was like back then to compare, but it's still broadly the same sport as now. Electric speedway would be completely different. I do enjoy the noise I have to say. The smell has pretty much gone in recent years. I just enjoy that speedway is pretty much a raw motorsport and I'd rather it stayed that way. Maybe I'd change my opinion if/when it happens but I'm not sure.

    Wonderful eh? I wouldn't open my curtains to watch electric speedway in my back garden.
  3. A worrying article on a Polish website about FIM supporting the need to halve the emissions from speedway by 2030, and then eliminate them entirely by 2040. It sounds like it has the general support of our current SGP overlords too. https://przegladsportowy.onet.pl/zuzel/zuzel-fim-wydal-szokujacy-komunikat-z-zuzla-ktory-znamy-nic-nie-zostanie/fdbjr3n Hopefully it'll go the way of most of these commitments, but the vultures are circling I think, and we're probably not the only motorsport. Sad.

    Peterborough Panthers 2023

    Years ago it probably made a difference, as Basso will most likely become way better than Lawson, but now it won't make much difference. Who's going to buy Basso off Glasgow in future? I can't imagine him even riding in this country before long.
  5. It wouldn't be like Richard to move clubs ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶d̶e̶a̶l̶ to find a new found love for another club, after already signing for one.

    Scunthorpe 2023

    Is this a message to the 2023 Scunthorpe team?

    I think he's sorting out Steve Worrall's holiday. Struggling to tell the difference between France and Orlando again

    Glasgow 2023

    They're always happy to dish it out but perish the thought someone criticises their team. Worse than Scousers.
  9. I reckon I might start selling badges and give up my job. Birmingham have gone from pleading poverty to being linked with Harris, Brennan, and Morris within months. Business must be booming!
  10. All our own (British Speedway) doing unfortunately, and now we've made a rod for our own back. PL heat leaders seemed quite happy for years and years, maybe wth the odd guest booking in the EL. Now we're expected to bend over backwards to give them 2 teams in broadly similar leagues. Painted ourselves into a corner.

    Swindon Robins 2020

    So Swindon are working flat out to find a new track, despite already having a perfectly serviceable track. Now they're going to be working flat out to get new track equipment, despite having just sold perfectly good track equipment. They do love a challenge.

    Edinburgh 2023

    That's why I'm asking the question. Your promotion said Etheridge was the "worst newcomer to the PL" and he's done alright since. My question is if Hook is closer to an Etheridge than a Penfold.

    Edinburgh 2023

    Is Hook going to be a Jye Etheridge 'worst Australian ever' or is he genuinely just not very good? Seems a risk to bring him back on a 4 when he wasn't close to that last season.
  14. Frightening consistency from Eddie.
  15. And people tell us that British riders have no ambition
