Rory must have done a track inspection

To be fair I think their is good argument for a minimum of 5 to be applied for all new foreign riders.

Thankyou for another great season of swedish speedway on freesports

What Rule Book?? It's all invented at the time as when suited....

What does it matter? If a load of Poles come along making it viable so that British fans can have a good day out watching the worlds top riders I'd call that a result

As I see it the reason is simple, our riders haven't been good enough away from the AFA. While it's great to have "Application, attitude and passion", does it have "far greater importance to the value of a riders impact for the team"? It will only get you so far imho. You could put a Championship side into the Prem, and they won't win anything with all the application, attitude and passion in the world..

Adonis is talking bullocks, but then, looking at his avatar of Yaxley_Lennon, what can you expect ?! Its a good read, and definitely not full of "I am better than everyone else" ! My advice would be buy it, see what you think, you can always sell it on Ebay, Gumtrre, etc....

I think he meant that there is no 8 point rule apart from that one....

I went to Warsaw this year, had an really nice weekend. Meals and drinks were really reasonably priced, plenty of places to eat and drink. The most stressful part was buying the tickets.

If Thorsell brings his Swedish playoff form it's Swindon in the final for sure.

Well Swedish speedway isn't better at the moment. Lindgren and Lindbäck didn''t ride.

So true. This is the first time in 30 years a team have won 3 years in a row and the first time since the post season cup was introduced.

Game over... Every season there appears to be no point in going to watch Smederna till they reach the play offs..

So it seems as though there will be a 'top' league of x clubs next season. With the likes of Terry Russell wanting to keep Jason Doyle in an 8 team league it begs the question about how many 8+ point riders will be allowed in the team building and to what team points limit? Swindon, Belle Vue and Kings Lynn may well have some serious decisions to make with their Number 1s.

One advantage (albeit small and minor) that Wolves have is that, I believe, there are no tactical substitutes in the play- offs. Jason Doyle will be the best rider on show, over the 2 legs, by a mile. So to limit him to 5 rides at Monmore will be good from a Wolves perspective.

Lack of vision through and through

If the forecast becomes reality would prefer if they called it early rather than get it on for the sake of it, like the Scunny meeting.

Taking the rule as written, it would not be in Eastbourne's gift to be 'honourable' and 'let him [Lawson] ride for Ipswich'. Art 16.1.1 Priority will be given to riders participating in the SGB Premiership League on Mondays and Thursdays. Priority will be given to riders participating in the SGB Championship League on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

They still play At Ferguson Park Rosewell.

IT is true that the BSPA declined to be involved because of the cost of mounting such an untried indoor event in a stadium the size of the then Millennium. BSI was then part of the Benfield Greig group of re-insurers and were prepared to back JP. The rest is history.

Very brave too. Can the crowdsize comprehend the added costs? Only the promotion will know

Bold move as the status of the leagues above is largely unknown at present and feels like a last roll of the dice for the current promotion.

It's the final round of the U21 World Championship on the Friday night in Pardubice - I assume that's why the wildcard/reserves are erm odd. I assume Miedzinski will be unleashed upon anyone who threatens Zmarzlik's title

It's shown live here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2duNmUDO94 DMPJ stands for "Druzynowe Mistrzostwa Polski Juniorow", so "Polish Team U21 Championships". It should be interesting, with no clear favourites in my opinion. Grudziadz, Czestochowa and Zielona Gora have three decent riders, while Lublin and Gorzow have two potential high-scorers.

Sabmar TV only show on the internet through their you tube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/MisiuMen DMPJ is the teams junior competition run under the pairs 21 heat format but some teams have 4 named riders- most have 3.

I totally agree with you, particularly for any newcomers. Even those who have failed to reach the 4 or 5 assessed average they should only be allowed back on their assessed average.

He was guesting for Peterborough against Swindon when he scored 18 + 1.

That is where i believe the time may have come to just use riders now who want to commit to the UK and then run your club within your means.For me speedway is speedway, even a lower level sort of speedway can be entertaining i have experienced that.Ok you will miss the Doyle, Iversen ( ect) type and yes that is a massive loss and some will again say watering the product down again achieves nothing but for me something has to change.

Best wishes to Terry Russell for a successful and speedy recovery following his surgery. He wants to keep JD in the Robins team for next year as he is 'box-office' (quite right too!)and hopes the AGM doesn't diminish the standard yet again as its not necessary. He's also hopeful of an 8-team Premiership in 2020.

It was late Frederik Jakobsen is who I meant, he is the Dane who was at Poole last year isn't he? There was a Frederik Eriksson once, was there not?

World Longtrack 5th and final round Roden Sunday September 22nd

The other play-off times are now announced Sunday September 29th Lodz v Poznan 2pm local Sunday October 6th Poznan v Lodz 3pm local

Also Cardiff is a great advert for speedway and long may it continue but does all of British speedway gain financially out of the event??.Was British speedway properly compensated at the time when the WC swapped to the GP series system.!!!!

My heart bleeds for him.

Having "someone who knows what they are doing" wouldn't of saved the Prem league and BT deal this season. He was the only one that put his hand in his pocket, and probably lost money. I'm not saying he is the right man for the job, He's set in his ways, that's for sure, but where would the Prem have been without him this season ? Gone maybe. Cabbage patch , well they go together with webbed feet around these parts

Weather permitting, I am hoping to be there. 'Mon the Tigers!

And the attendance could have been a lot better if more people had turned up

Attendance could have been quite a lot less... If a lot less people had turned up... Well I never

I cant recall any meeting this season , and I think I watch Cook race more than you , where Craig has received a ref warning for a starting offense. If Craig is guilty of rolling I'm sure at least one ref will have noticed since April .

Sorry got that wrong Jake Allen rides for Ipswich on Saturday not Scunny

The sport (in the UK), is now no more than a conduit for riders to earn the kind of money that justifies their outlay on kit... A system devised to provide as many rides as possible for individuals, with scant regards to the impact this has on any credible status of each league or the teams within them.. It won't change now I would suggest, as it cannot given how long this situation has been allowed to fester.. Basically riders riding for whoever, whenever, is an integral part of the business plan, and operating model, which then facilitates their participation in the sport in the UK.. Too many teams? Not enough riders? Either way, that scenario isn't going to be fixed anytime soon unless they try six or even five man teams initially to give themselves some head room to deliver a much more fit for purpose longer term plan.. No breath is being held waiting for that to happen I would suspect..

How far advanced is the new Stadium at Swindon, as in will they start the season there next April ?

20th October? They won't need water to prepare the track, they'll need a gritter.

It is however , better than any other toilet roll by far . It promises to show lesser toilet rolls the way to be the best at cleaning your arse . how to flush away more easily . but never actually does . best of all though , comes covered in loads of different patterns . thats why it's too expensive for the UK market , and only available in Poland ,

I thought it was interesting listening to Allen & Stead on the BT GP Coverage, particularly Stead who was voicing his opinion that riders should be more ambitious... At the risk of being controversial, wasn't it Stead that hid away in the lower leagues for a lot longer than he should have done taking the coin? Maybe more of a do as I say manager than do as I do. Anyway, I wish them all the best, GB will be nothing again until regular test matches are run, you can do all the skipping and ball catching you like, there's nothing like experience

Take 8.99 and throw it in the bin . the hours you will save reading Woffindens $hit , can then be invested in a railway layout .

Nick Morris rolling average is 5.32.....whats not attractive about that!?

Morris is not on an attractive average? A rider on nearly 2 points lower than when he left us. Unfortunately, riders have to be sacrificed next season through no fault of their own but Morris should be a rider that we want in the team. You could, and I haven’t even looked at averages, sacrifice Tobi and Razza for Morris and Bellego assuming JD still wants to ride in the league.

What was it that was once said by Woffy every other teams manager takes them out to a nice restaurant on a strict dietary regime then you got Rosco takes GB to a kebab house.
