Many more examples available. Thinking like that is one of the reasons British Speedway is in the doldrums 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many more examples available. Genuine answer, I don't expect to see 56 vehicles to be carrying 49 riders & 7 team managers. This could be the only case of doubling or trebling up we all agree with.

Perhaps they should have announced beforehand that every team would have a rider present, then shock us all when at least 5 from every team turned up? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was going to say I don't know where they are if they're absent seeing as they were at Lynn last night and Leicester tomorrow. The four named all absent from the official site video though, perhaps stuck in traffic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doyley is dressed as Chase the Ace.... Jonathan Ross just said it was Ed Sheeran.... "Take it off! Take it off!" Etc etc etc... Great to see some innovation and professionalism from Phil Morris... Doing a lot of good so far with what his plans are.. I presume he must come on here quite a bit... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diamonds85 699 Posted March 20 I thought it was a bit strange when I first heard that Doyley wasn't going to be there. I'm not a huge fan of him but have a massive amount of respect for him. He always shows up and gives his all and has always stuck by speedway in this country. His wife going into labour is a perfectly reasonable reason not to be there however, and I would like to congratulate him and his wife Tai Woffinden's comment of the rest of the league looks like they're gonna go have fun but no one is better than Sheffield so they're gonna win it again... Wow right in front of everyone. He's not got much respect has he. Hopefully every single number 1 and 5 in the league comes and batters him every week..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is what the sport (in this country) needs... Some spice and tribalism to get the fans (and atmosphere), going... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
