  1. I will tell you something else that wasn’t funny for Panthers fans. Morris falling entirely on his own in heat 3 and being allowed back in the rerun Douglas giving Palm Toft a nudge in the rerun and causing him to fall and getting injured and no exclusion for Douglas.

  2. His average should be 2.56 I believe.... Based on multiplying his Div One average by his Div Two average, and then adding in his non existent RS average.... You then divide this total by the hypotenuse of a Dairylea Triangle (Reduced Fat).... Or, if the equation is worked out on a day that isnt a fixed race day for his Div One team, then a supermarket own label cheese triangle can be used.... Or a piece from a 600g bar of Toblerone if one is to hand. .. (Not a white Toblerone though, only a dark chocolate one).....

  5. That could be British speedway’s new tag line. We’ve had “Fuelled by excitement.” “Its better than nothing” Now, British Speedway - “Who cares about fair play”

From what the builders have been saying i am not sure its going to be as straight forward as some people are thinking .... Yet again people getting carried away are putting far to much trust in Gaming int . I have a feeling this has a long way to run yet .

  10. Apparently he can’t ride under appeal until the SCB court hearing. Whether there are kangaroos at that court remains to be seen It does seem bizarre that a rider can be told minutes before it is posted on the website that he has been banned without even having been spoken to, never mind being asked to put forward their side of events. I have absolutely no idea what it is all about btw but in general sports tend to at least give a right of representation. Unilaterally ‘sentencing’ a rider without their knowledge or input just doesn’t sit right with me

  12. There was clear times of people struggling throughout the season but they’ve got this far as a team… and all credit has to go to them for sticking with the same 7.. they’ve certainly repaid the faith shown to them! I so so hope things go our way and all behind the scenes are finally rewarded for what they’ve put into the club!

  17. Hans done the right thing. Who cares about fair play? If it wasn't for him staying down then we would've been 43 - 41 down going into the last race and Schlein wouldn't have gambled to get the jump over Bomber off gate 4. Respect the Panthers legend for using his experience. Morris should've been excluded early in the night anyway so it levels it all out really.

  19. Stumper I would say you are spot on with regards to the PA, it has been crap for a number of years and cuts in/out all the time. Secondly the lighting is very poor around the stands/bends & also including on the track, from the home straight you can't see the helmet colours of the riders on the opposite side, the lights shine directly at you and not the track.

  20. All day i was expecting tonights meeting to be called off. It was dry when i arrived but the rain soon set in. How the riders rode in such treacherous conditions and completed the match, i will never know. They were all heroes tonight.

  21. Brilliant result to round off a very successful season for the Bullets, whether or not they go on to win the league. Leon Flint and Kyle Bickley doubled up with the Bandits and, in particular I think it would give Kyle confidence to score big points when he sometimes struggled for the Bandits. Luke Crang stepped in for Leon and his scores against Mildenhall (home) and Kent (tonight) might just win them the league. Greg Blair re-discovered his love for the sport, gave the crowd great entertainment and became a bit of a cult figure. Ben Rathbone, Mason Watson, Ryan MacDonald and Keiron Douglas all developed a lot more than they would just riding in the NJL. I've enjoyed watching the Bullets matches this season, both as double headers and on their own. Hopefully the promotion continue the team next season.

  22. Just looking further ahead to 2022, I just wanting to throw a few ideas out there in regards to meeting presentation etc. Please don't take this as a complaint or a moan as I 100% appreciate what we have, however there a are a few things I think could be done to improve the presentation of meetings. As a speedway fan most of these things don't concern me too much, however to newcomers, they may be more important. I would like to see the following next season if possible: 1) Upgraded PA System: Often race results, rider introductions etc are difficult to hear in numerous spots around the track due to the crackly PA System. Volume is often too low as well which makes things difficult to hear. Would be nice to have the system upgraded and checked before use. The microphone Rob uses on the centre green regularly breaks up. 2) More lighting on bend 1 terraces: At the start/end of the season with the darker nights, it is difficult to see your programme when filling in race results. 3) Smoother transitions between music/talking: On occasions the music is left on whilst the presenter/Rob is talking which makes it difficult to hear and is a bit "amateurish" and often long gaps of silence can be heard before the music restarts at the completion of the talking. I think a "tidy up" is required to ensure the presentation remains as professional as possible, particularly to outsiders as I have brought newcomers along on occasions and they have picked up on this. 4) Maybe re-introduce an interval: To allow time for an interview perhaps during the meeting, to get the thoughts of a rider or team manager to see how they feel the meeting is going? Most meetings this year have been completed quickly (which I agree is a good thing to do) however might be nice to have more engagement during the meeting. Please feel free to agree/disagree, or add more comments. Like I said, just throwing a few ideas out there to how things can maybe done better.

  23. They seemed to deflate when Poole got level on aggregate, but maybe the Poole riders just seemed to get going! Interesting to know what is said at the press conference they are doing tonight.

  26. The timing of the building work is perfect from Gaming int ...Means that Swindon wont know if the work will done in time meaning they have to say they can't run in 2022 . Another year then go's by and people lose even more interest before they find another reason next year .

  30. BIRMINGHAM’S task of overhauling Edinburgh tonight has just been made even harder. Fans’ favourite Paco Castagna has been ruled out with illness and will be replaced by American ace Dillon Ruml. Already 18-points down from the first leg heading into the deciding leg of the Knockout Cup tie with Edinburgh, boss Laurence Rogers admits Castagna’s absence is a big blow. He said: "Paco rang me to say he had bad flu symptoms and was confined to bed. "It's a massive shame he'll miss this one because he has been piling up the points for us at reserve, especially at Perry Barr. "We thank Dillon Ruml for stepping in - he rode really, really well for Plymouth not so long back and we're confident he can come in and do a job for the Brummies tonight." Edinburgh have also been forced into a change of guest at reserve with Dan Gilkes now standing in for Jason Edwards. If Birmingham fail to win by more than 18-points tonight will be the last meeting of the season – and possibly forever unless new owners are found to take over the club from outgoing duo Peter and David Mason.

  41. Back in 1972, when I first started going to Cleveland Park, there was a Speedway shop/Office (not sure of it's correct title), on the back straight, you could buy rosette's, program boards, ticket's for coach trips, Wembley world final's etc, Julie was in charge of it at the time, it was just a serving hatch at the back of the stand. I remember when the pit's moved from the School end of the stadium, to just near the A19 flyover, they built a Speedway Office as part of the new pits complex, and she moved in there. So she had been involved with Cleveland Park 25+ years, to my knowledge, till it closed at the end of the 1996 season. Then when speedway returned at the STMP in 2006, she took up her old position.

  42. It amazes me that Cardiff has averaged around 40,000 from 2001 to 2019 and yet its popularity is being questioned.

  43. Cardiff was (and hopefully will be again) a jewel on the SGP calendar. Poor track conditions are now a decade ago. The British SGP should remain at Cardiff. No discussion.
