You only had to watch Sedgy stuffing Drew Kemp over the finishing line at Sheffield on Thursday night on BSN (or actually being there, as I was)... instead of Kemp showing Sedgmen his back wheel after the race, and I'm pretty sure most of us were looking for some reaction, all we got was a barely noticeable shake of the head from Kemp as he pulled up back at the pits.  Even though I've singled this out, I'm not particularly singling out this incident as Kemp may not be that type of person, but it's symptomatic of the perceived lack of passion of riders riding for teams/clubs. If they don't really give a toss why should we? Again, I stress this is not having a go at either Kemp or Sedgeman.  You watch a Football match and players are busting a blood vessel because a throw in hasn't gone their way, Speedway... it's all kisses and cuddles after a race. We perhaps don't want to go down the Football route as that attracts a very different kind of fan but there maybe room for a little more passion in Speedway.

Workington promotion should do that imo. They are not going to be suspended for no reason. 

That's because British Speedway has become so woke and doesn't want anything controversial because "we don't want to see that".

I think the point is there is not really anybody of the Ian Thomas type in the current era knowing what makes the 20 to 30 something tick Wasn't this the idea of buying all of those GTR engines? Instead of saying if you want to ride BL you ride a GTR the powers that be just caved to the riders who wanted there own personalised engine heads on their super tuned GM motors. I think it's to allow riders to fly out to Poland and earn a fortune on a Sunday afternoon.

If you want to go and see a speedway meeting again in its purest form, come and watch a meeting with the Kent Eagles at Iwade. If you do, message me on here and I will get you 2 free tickets, you never know, it may rekindle your love for the sport once more.

I remember several years ago Ole Olsen saying something along the lines of "British Speedway should shut down for a year and have a good long think about its product". Well the perfect opportunity landed in its lap 5 years ago with the Speedway-less year of 2020.  A perfect opportunity to look at itself and have a proper reset. Instead,  it just sat on its hands and waited for the green light, then picked up where it left off in 2019.
