Not the first time he's done that, I commented on it when he used to ride for Leicester. You get the feeling that if he took the sport seriously (difficult I know) is that he could be a far far better performer than he already is, a Floppy Norris/Jason Doyle type, maybe not to Doyley standards but certainly Floppy. He seems happier to be a better than average journeyman than and clean up in the CL to supplement his bread and butter of being a plasterer. I think one of the main reasons may be, as you've mentioned many times, the lack of jeopardy... Ippo are in town! Come and see them!  What's at stake? Well, nothing much really, it's just a qualifier But they may not qualify! It's almost impossible for them not to qualify They're the current league champions! But there's only 3 of those riders are in the team this year Okay come and see Tom Brennan & Tobias Musielak then! I'll catch them next time Ippo are in town, for the B fixture, a KO Cup tie or a play off tie... or any number of times over the course of this season as a guest rider Oh don't bother then! Okay 👍  

Wish they’d scrap the tactical sub rule, or at least make it only available for a shorter window for an away side to even up the home track advantage. tac sub or no tac sub belle vue would’ve made that home advantage come true I’m sure over the course of the meeting but the tac sub undoes so much of the hard work from unfancied underdog witches last night and impacts the chances of the bonus point over two legs massively

If you're using the BSN app, yes, if you're watching it on a TV web browser, no, BSN keep saying it's likely/probably/possible that if you're used to watching it on a TV browser it will not work for everybody this season until the new TV specific apps are released in May. I watched the Worky match at the weekend, but not live, using the same setup as last year (TV browser) and it was fine, so I thought I was okay, but last night watching live, TV browser again, it crashed out twice, so I switched to watching it through my phone streamed/mirrored to my TV.

i do worry for my club this season though, the activity on my belle vue facebook page is down by more than double in interactions, im guessing a winter of delays have made people just give up on the sport

yeah, its a speedway problem for sure, the fans are there, proven by every club getting good crowds at some point in a season,   good racing alone does not cut it, it needs other things going on, at affordable prices for families to especially if they want to call it a family sport   things must change at the top, the club owners must change there ways also and not be happy with a 100k loss in a season

A fair question, but one that risks pulling you back into the ”your taste versus my taste” trap. It’s less about preferences or specific songs, but more about the playlist matching the intensity, pace and edge on the track. It’s remarkable how music can manipulate an atmosphere. We need to lean on that. This is where Richard Coleman’s comments ring true. He was interviewed last night and said ”I don’t think the product is broken; I think it’s fantastic, but the promotion of it isn’t what it should be and there clearly needs to be some changes”. He wasn’t directly referencing music or announcers, but it’s a small part of the promotion of the sport.
