It won't ever move on to become "mainstream" as it is so severely restricted by its operating model, which will always dissuade any major sponsors or media to get involved.. But it still can be a very decent night out if you take it at face value as being nothing much more than somewhat of a contrived, but entertaining and exciting, proposition.. Completely agree, I just don't understand this "thirst for credibility" It's entertainment for crying out loud. But it's not just speedway, Football is a joke sport with its constant simulation, diving and feigning of injuries. Rugby is going the same way with it's "your tackle was 1cm too high, you're sent off" mentality. Everything is manufactured to suit a bigger agenda these days, from News, x-factor, Bake off, and sport in general. People just need to accept speedway for what it is. 4 people doing 4 laps on bikes with no brakes. and enjoy it for that. If people continue to look for a virtuous outcome, they will find only crushing disappointment. (in everything) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,229 Posted September 23, 2022 No chance of Jakobsen returning imo. He's just using British Speedway to make his final bit of money this season. Lambert won't ride in the British League again imo, He doesn't even make the effort to turn up at a British Final. Pickering, Klindt, MPT, Basso, R. Worrall, Thomas + 1 Other imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do u no for certain if he was asked? As league racing why would he just have to look how poorly it is run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted September 23, 2022 I would say its more down to the polish rules being relaxed than anything Speedway is a short career, UK is maybe easy money if you look at the standard Think a few could be enticed back but there would need to be changes to the calendar to make it happen, still too many meetings in the UK for top riders to want to committ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's not like Dan Bewley who'd jump at the chance to ride in his home country again if the Poles allow him too. Doyle & J. Holder for example show more loyalty to British Speedway than Lambert & Woffinden which says it all really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What loyalty do they need to show? Granted dan would be here if allowed but he hasn't this season and he's definitely not needed to be has he Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All he had to do was NOT ride in Sweden, just like Doyle and J Holder. Bewley is as loyal to UK speedway as Lambert or Woffinden.

Well he's improving and at least he's fighting this year potential top 3 Not a dig by the way but wasn't it Germany where Robert started league racing?

FishersGate 522 Posted September 23, 2022 How do they work out averages for riders stepping down to the championship? So for example if jakobsen dropped to the championship what would his average be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
