  2. Agree, there is a general entertainment point of view.It’s the structure of the sport,which IMO is struggling to attract new fans.It’s just not credible,and it’s mainly diehards which are keeping it afloat.

  3. Great to see Doyle remain loyal to Britsh Speedway. He's more of a Brit than Bewley, Lambert and Woffinden.

  4. I had a great day at the WSRA annual Norwich lunch today. Met up with some old friends, including Ove Fundin, Bert Harkins, Trevor Hedge, Tony Hurren (Hawkeye) and Terry Ripo (former Hackney and Mildenhall announcer). Other illustrious names at the lunch included Cyril Crane, Richard Greer, James Easter, Billy Bales, Ray Bales, Rob Hollingworth, Dingle Brown, Gavin Hedge, Dave Gagen, Graham Miles, Ollie Allen, Dave Allen and the great, the one and only, Buzz Burrows. Good food, good company and, best of all, I won first prize in the raffle!

  9. I actually think from a general 'entertainment' point of view with the level of riders being so similar it is actually worth watching.. I watched lots of domestic Speedway on TV and three 'live' and there was plenty to keep you interested.. Unfortunately it is clear that these riders cannot make one league pay therefore it all becomes a bit contrived and nonsensical, which obviously then takes more than a fair bit away from the event itself.. If only they could get the racing level within a proper team sport structure.. Unfortunately, until they do the sport will continue to underperform against its undoubted potential..

  11. Sorry I Will rephrase that,the standard is higher but it’s the same riders beating each other.There are certainly no superstar 10 pt average riders even though it is a weakened League.

  12. Lions 2019 Championship Shield Winners Championship League Winners Pirates 2021 Championship KO Cup Winners Championship League Winners I regularly attend both tracks, as well others, with Leicester being my nearest and I support Poole. The amount of success that both club's av achieved with both doing the double, either side of lockdown, is a remarkable achievement. In fact Lions cud've done the treble if it wasn't for avin to track an under strength side at Eastbourne in the KO Cup. I'd like to wish all at both clubs continued success, but don't mention the Scottish club! .....was a fine ride by Ellis Perks!

  20. It’s really not complicated. Scott Courtney runs Berwick Jamie Courtney will run Oxford harris has signed for Berwick and has agreed to ride for Oxford when they were planning to run in the premiership Oxford will be championship so Harris will no longer be in the team as he already signed for Berwick

  23. Riss to panthers makes sense. He will have to get dialled into the showground but he's a better rider than his average suggests

  25. Not sure there will be any team announcements in the immediate future, while the stadium rent issue goes down the legal route. May find out something later this week but not sure if I'll be able to share. One thing I do know is that the planned 2022 1-7 has changed already - with the unexpected availability of a rider.

  26. Unfortunately I have a big big feeling he will be at Ipswich,,,, as we do seem to like an Aussie that doesn't live up to expectations.

  27. No they don't unless it is a hospitality thing, I sit in the "posh" seats under the ref box, yes I paid extra for the privilege on top of my season ticket, that is my choice as I struggle to get good viewing unless I am at the front

  31. Yeah would be a good site, I do doubt it could happen but nice to think about. Shouldn't sign riders knowing will miss meetings IMO

  32. I think Tobias converted average is 9.2, which is lower than Poole's heatleaders

  33. If were to go down that route would be looking at something like Musielak Cook Brennan Nicol Basso Bailey Edwards Just over 41 I think not taking into account 2.5% reductions. (Guessing at Connors average at 3.8)

  35. It could all be nothing, but Tobiasz Musielak has replied to a comment about Glasgow potentially hosting the 2022 GP Challenge with the following: "A baza w Anglii będzie …. :))" Roughly translated: "and my base in England will be..."

  39. The speedway shut in the early/mid 60s and the greyhounds shut down in 1969 after problems over the lease with British Rail, who owned the site. There were plans to use the site as part of a redevelopment of the Millwall FC Stadium next door, but they came to nothing, and the derelict New Cross was just demolished.

  40. I often look through maps online to try and work out where old stadiums were. Never found this site before, so very interesting for me. Bristol: Explore georeferenced maps - Map images - National Library of Scotland (nls.uk) New Cross: Explore georeferenced maps - Map images - National Library of Scotland (nls.uk) Reading: Explore georeferenced maps - Map images - National Library of Scotland (nls.uk)

  48. I get what you’re saying and I have great admiration for (most) promoters - it is a thankless task for the majority of the time. While they do finance it I would argue that fans finance it more or just as much - albeit not with the same pressures and risk. I just feel a fresh and different perspective in the BSPA meetings would help.
