  1. Because if they announced everything now we only be able to have one moan. By drip feeding up crap news we can moan all winter!

    Swindon 2018

    Why are people shocked Ellis doesn't want to be at Poole after some of the comments made on here by his father (and quite understandable too!)

    Glasgow 2018

    If its true that Sarj has singed for Glasgow then you lot are laughing! Relaxed the starting rules now so as long as you don't touch the tapes its a fair start. Sarj could be a heat leader by June!
  4. STOP APPLYING LOGIC TO AN ARGUMENT! Machin has been around since time began. Can't be many promoters who have lasted longer than him.

    Yeah sure. Then when you offer them less than they want they'll just say, "no thanks, won't bother then", do that 2 or 3 times and suddenly the 8 point riders left are as much in demand as they would have been without the rule.

    Peter Collins Article

    Let be honest, whatever the reasons, arguments and issues it's a crying shame that Peter Collins and Chris Morton are not at BV speedway every week enjoying the speedway and still be worshipped by the fans. Two of Britains best and certain the two names most synonymous with BV Speedway. I just hope that whatever reasons both have for not attending they can "get over" them and return ASAP.

    Lakeside 2018

    Do you actually want to win anything? Max Clegg proved last season he isn't a second string and TBH I'd be amazed if any of the other bottom 3 would be either. While any 2 of Shanes, Morley and Watjknecht would make a decent enough reserve pairing you'll need something a bit more solid in the 1-5.

    People are stupid. They moan about things for the sake of moaning half the time

    Reserves have only ever had 3 rides, because the other reserve replaced them.

    Coventry 2017

    Boom. We have a winner

    Promoter's Agm!

    Ive already done he basics. Works fine. Would need to be tweaked to suit exact needs but I offered it before and got no response. I only discovered how easy it was when I tried to compile fixtures for a game and realised how hard it is to get the number of clashes the BSPA have

    Hes about 6.9 from memory.

    Workington 2018 .

    Would be interesting to hear the reasons why Workington were prevented from switching race night. Using any kind of logic they should have priority over Scunthorpe and Glasgow.

    What about them? Rider can earn £2.50 3 times a year in Demark or some decent money in the U.K. Poole have never had problems and theyve employed a few Danes over the years. And Lynn rode Wednesday with Bjerre, Iversen and Korneliussen. Denmarks not half the problem some people make out.

    Couldn't care less what the riders think. Its what the fans think. In my jobs I've a few times sat in cramped, dark, cold (or hot) trucks making TV shows but I get paid to suck it up and not moan. The important thing is that the viewer at home loves it. Not in speedway, we pander to the riders. And to go back to the original point, if a show is crap it's scrapped. the BBC don't keep it on air because 200 people like it, they scrap it and make better alternatives for the 1000s, not the 100s - but hey, this is speedway, they know better!

    Promoter's Agm!

    If you're using R/R at #3 for your second heat leader you can use your number 1 in heat 11, 12 (R/R), 13, 14(tac sub) and 15! Typical speedway. Any speedway is better than no speedway and then wonder why the sport is on it's backside. Any decent business/sport has a degree of quality control. If tracks are not up to standard sort it out or close down. Stop dragging the product down. But speedway loves mediocrity, we'll have mediocre teams competing on mediocre tracks and while we have plenty of young Brits out there we'll let worse than mediocre Aussies have work permits and then be shocked that Australia do better than us in GPs and SWCs in the future.

    Leicester Lions 2018

    The BSPA own him, so no, he doesn't fit.

    Guests

    Use a Championship rider? Which one, they all ride in the Premiership anyway, thats why we have to have fixed race nights to stop the clashes. Last season the options would have been Summers, Lindgren, Ostergaard and Jonas B Andersen So your star man is out and you want them replace by that lot?

    Leicester Lions 2018

    Rider with an average under 8, surprised hes not wanted by his parent club, GP rider. The options are.... Woffinden Because the rest have averages too high, have never ridden here or their owned by a club that are not riding at present/any more.

    Workington 2018 .

    He had the 3rd highest away average in the Championship in 2017, with Cookie not riding Championship that will make him 2nd (to Grajczonek), the only reasons Bombers average was not much higher was his home scores and he's rarely been that great at Peterborough. Ride a home track he likes and can score well on each week and he'll put his average up, something you can't say for many other 9 point men.

    I bet by 10.30 the BSF is going into meltdown because all your pet theories and crap ideas have not been acted on. Nobody will be happy, everyone will moan. And there will be one utterly stupid change by the BSPA.

    Guests & R/r

    To further add to Boothers great stats, I make it that 20% of riders in the Championship in 2017 were guests!
  23. If the biggest nitpicking they can highlight is about toilet rolls then "LOL". Because frankly its irrelevant, BSI are petty to ask for it, Poland are petty for brinigng it up as a major reason for BSI being dicks. Sadly, in this World, people with power like to exert it, it happens in ever country. BSI are showing whos boss, because they are the boss. As for constant complaints, isn't that what Poland does about BSI? Bans, well that just makes sense, why have a Euro Championship and a World Championship that is 80% the same riders? Because Doyle, Hancock and Holder aside, the top Europeans and the top World riders are the same. The SEC is a competition for having a completions sake. If BSI really wanted to show they were boss and put Poland in their place they'd run GPs on Sundays, like every other motorsport World Championship, not Saturday, a day that British Speedway used until the GPs come along and stole it.

    Every year people get arsey that nothing is released during the weekend, every year people seem shocked that they don't here anything until the 8pm Sunday night pres release. Speedway fans are amazing.
