Just seen the scores from last night, (as I was a "Dad Taxi" I only watched from Heat Four to Seven and then went to bed after watching four heats of riders riding around equidistant apart for four laps), and noticed Dan only got 4.... The same as Brady.... Yet, seemingly, he "tried" according to some on here, so escaped criticism from the Witches fans, (baffled why they would be bothered about the Aces riders but there you go)... A good job he did try though as if he didnt, his score would have been even less.... Only saw him in one race and he gated and won, but noticed he ran two lasts, which on that track would be no surprise if you didn't gate.. Amazing how this sport fails to "showcase" itself when on TV, most sports ensure the "playing field" provides the maximum opportunity for those competing to show off their elite skills to a watching nation.. UK Speedway, instead, actually allows riders like Emil and Dan to NOT demonstrate their elite skill set to those watching at home... Maybe if no GP/Elite riders next year then the money saved could go into track covers? As, getting the track raceable to provide entertainment, (especially on those "dodgy days") must be the No1 priority surely for promoters if this sport is ever to become more popular... I have watched 19 heats in the last few days and the vast majority have had riders almost a full straight apart, from front to back, with all riders a similar distance apart.. Not a great advert for "top level" UK Speedway is it? But it starts and ends with what "playing surface" is provided..

Hate is a very strong word and a bit over the top imo. Suppose it’s the world we now live in nowadays. Plantpots coming out with trash like that.

I find this quite bemusing. Glasgow are on the far side of the pits. Anyone shouting abuse would not be heard. In fact the Poole riders would even struggle to hear anyone shouting at them and they are facing the fans. Also, there are no fans directly in front of the pits as this area is out of bounds to supporters. Having never seen anyone shouting abuse doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, but when did it happen? It sounds like a load of hokum to get the Glasgow crowd riled up. -
Zmarzlik only won one heat in the Elitserien semi final second leg at Lejonen (home track) on Tuesday night.

guests for injuries are a necessary evil although r/r should be compulsory if its not your number 1 or a reserve but to schedule a plum semi final on a night when riders are in a different country is utterly ridiculous its deeply worrying how some people just accept guests when they should only be used when absolutely necessary
