Some people do depending on their trade of work lol. If Lawson was turning up with lawnmowers and ended up going R, 1, 0, R then I could understand the backlash, But he's scored the amount of points that was predicted for him and the dirty bikes didn't have any impact on the result. Lawson's dirty bikes aren't anything to worry about from a fan perspective but Hellstrom-Bangs form is, The Club can't afford to carry him when age has caught up with Scotty to a point where he's going to struggle to score anything around tracks that he'll have to ride at the business end of the season if Ipswich make the Top 4.....(Scotty's still a legend though)

Nick’s becoming the new Chris Harris with this guesting lark.🤔  

Haven't got time to read through all the threads today so apologies if you have already answered this Mike but what was the crowd like in the end as remember you saying yesterday advance ticket sales weren't looking great ? If it was a dire crowd can't see it being good news for the sport generally when you consider best track in the country headed by two of the globes most exciting riders and still punters not turning up. I think this winters problems have unfortunately put a few more nails in the speedway box top sadly.

Fair point. I’m actually a Bradford fan from the early 70s onwards. And Odsal was definitely a good track. The Shay , Halifax was decent, especially when king Kenny was flying round it. I do go to Belle Vue occasionally though, mainly because I couldn’t stomach watching Jack Holder at Sheffield 😁

Plymouth are going to be doing a behind the scenes documentary that on the face of the preview looks really good and likely to give a real good insight to speedway both with Plymouth and the wider British speedway.    could be a game changer for the sport if used and marketed correctly from people other than just Plymouth.  

I don't think he turns up beaten before he starts - 30 wins out of 130ish rides there, suggests he was down on what he should get.  However he's never as good on a slick track and did have poor gate positions in his first two and then up against K&B in his third.  This is what makes a good team, covering for those having an off night.
