In all fairness not really interested in the bickering another young rider hurt doing what he loves for our enjoyment. Not sure many who were there and seen the crash are been critical that meeting was called off i for one ain't bothered more concerned Joe is ok.

Quite agree; we shouldn't stream anything. Why would people want to watch it? Shouldn't be televised either. Come to think of it, shouldn't have spectators; do it behind closed doors. There, solves everything...

Nothing quite like a bit of casual racism eh? You'll find we voted to remain in UK too actually..might want to read up on your facts

You are referring to the main gp, Tom will likely get the wild card for the SGP 2 on the Sunday

What the speedway regulations don’t say is irrelevant. The regulations says A Premiership Transfer Window opens after 25% of the League fixtures are complete and closes when 75% of League fixtures are complete. This permits changes to the team on 2 occasions, except for proven long term injury. Now considering no Premiership team is likely to complete 25% of its league fixtures until early June it’s clear both changes do not comply with the above rule.

If only there was another way of you finding out......

Ran out of steam. Ran out of stream.

Based on the quality, BSN should have been giving it a miss and promoting EMTV!

1st Semi-Final has pretty much summed up this meeting tbh.

I can't tell whether this is sarcasm or not?! Speedway should be doing much much more streaming, you'd have to be on another planet to think otherwise.

Good rider tbh. Been banging in the points for Bydgoszcz.

Have to say the girl rider looks more butch than some of the boys.

Celina could get a heat win if this carries on like this.

That is the bottom line. Can't really understand the moaning. Brennan had his chance and failed to finish in the top 5 in his round. So might have tsruggled to finish in the top 8 here...Generally there are 3 or 4 riders in with a chance of winning and the rest are there to make up the numbers.....

Most of these would be used to the dry and slick Polish tracks where its all about speed. Give them a track where they have to think and throttle control needed and its a different story. Saying that, that seems to be speedway in general now

and Keynan Rew

I think its disgusting the establishment didn't give Tommy B a pick for the series, but thats what it is. I hope he get the pick at Cardiff to show them what he could have done. Watching this on D+

In your critique of the Tigers' performance you completely omitted to mention the performance of Cook. This was by far and away his best performance in blue and yellow and his 8 +3 after 4 heats made him top scorer. He was fully deserving of his extra ride in heat 15. He seems to actually be enjoying his stint at Sheffield and even acknowledged the crowd's cheers on the 4th bend after his win in heat 8. Top points for sheer guts go - as usual - to Kyle. I reckon he's the best captain in the league. He may lack the finesse of a Holder and the panache of a Musielak, but for 150% commitment to the team cause he can't be faulted. He's the engine room of the team and Damien should give him a contract for life.

Yes, she can ride a bike, and I even think she will score a point or two tonight, but she is not really good enough to be in this SGP 2 series, considering others like Tom Brennan, Hellstrom-Bangs etc. do not get the chance. Even over here in Germany, no one really understands why she got the wildcard ahead of a much faster Norick Blodorn. It is only because she is a girl.

For all of you who think Celina Liebmann has been plucked from the crowd to ride- she scored 6 points in the Daugavpils qualifier and has ridden Polish league div 2. Yes she will be highly tried but she can ride a bike !!

The problem is that you can both be right, as the rule about the Transfer Window does not have a start date. Does it apply: 1. From the point that a team announces its 1-7 which could be months ahead of the start of the season. 2. From the point of the first actual speedway meeting of the season involving two of the six Premiership teams. 3. From the point that an individual team rode its first meeting. 4. From the point of the first league meeting involving two of the six Premiership teams. 5. From the point that an individual team rode its first league meeting. and then when do the 25% and 75% stipulations get triggered: 1. When an individual team meets these milestones. 2. When the last of the six teams reaches the respective milestone. As far as I can see the answers to the above can only be by each individual’s interpretation.

Pre-season I would have said Jenkins had promise & isn't a bad number 8, but so far this season averaging 2.57 (3.43) for Redcar, so an odd choice for me!

Wish he was.....did begger all for GB's cause

Actually he didn’t gate and go in the other 4 he went round the boards and squeezed past the aces pair in one heat the same as jack holder did Fantastic bit of riding Then he pulled away to win by a distance Great signing.

Yawn

Should of kept Allen,foolish

I too have subscribed to both Backtrack and Classic Speedway Magazines. I am so sad that Tony and Susie feel unable to carry on with what, in my opinion, is a really good and professional Magazine. I loved all of the articles, as a 1970s Speedway enthusiast I think they are impossible to beat. I get a number of none Speedway related magazines but the two Speedway periodicals are the ones I look forward to the most. The '70s were a special time for me and Speedway and I love revelling in the memories evoked by both of these publications. I will miss my 'phonecalls to Backtrack, and talking to Susie when I renew my subscription. It was like talking to a family member. I would like to thank both Tony and Susie for all of their very hard work in producing these two wonderful magazines. I will miss them very, very much should they have to close down. Tony, Susie, I wish you every success in the future, you have kept me happy with my memories. I don't think I can give you higher praise than that. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Yes we are all concerned for the young lad who had a nasty accident and I hope he gets back on the bike asap, but it doesn't mean we can't have a good winge and moan cause that's what speedway fans are the best at to be honest.

I think I've drunk to much that makes no sense to me whatsoever lol

Should just leave the track alone now and start Ht 1 on it tomorrow just how it is...

Don't worry about the bandwidth, with the 3 withdrawn riders, only 2 riders in Heat 8 and 4 of the remaining races only featuring 3 riders, I'm sure it will cope. :-o Ironic that it's at Edinburgh, isn't it? Home of the great Train Robber who, in his role as BSPA Chairman, instructed the Birmingham Brummies web site to be closed down, apparently because it was too bandwidth hungry, and made the BSPA servers struggle, back in 2013.

Certainly a lot more than that at Newcastle.

They want Poles to win it. Take away threats of decent foreigners.

Personally I dont think its helpful for women in sport when this happens, we should compete on merit alone when in mixed classed in sports events, but it is the way things are going.

But when it suits the sport everyone thinks it is okay for riders to be picked over faster ones on the basis of their nationality.

Just tonight.Bit of a joke really.

The rule (as written) is not entirely clear. BUT It refers to 'initial declaration' which is not one of the options you give as there may be months between announcement of a proposed team and its acceptance by the BSPL which is the point at which an initially declared team comes into existence. As an alternative one could posit that the publication of the first set of green sheets [25 March this season] marks the point at which teams come into existence. As I've said before the extent of the debate on this rule illustrates what a stupid idea it was in the first place.

What sort of fan do you call yourself if you don't even understand the simple rules of the sport ?

I think its fair to expect more for Brennan after recent performances but hes a young lad and the bulk of the blame has to be pointed at the three heat leaders, eighteen points from them when the others managed that collectively is pretty poor.

It reads until 25% of league fixtures are completed, and they haven’t been to date. Whether you, Uncle Tom cobbly or your mate from the pub agrees or not. All this cobblers about Regional starter competition and the BSPL must have decided is just that - cobblers. I am well aware that this change was allowed under 10.3.1, Board directors sole responsibility, best interests of the sport etc. Certainly was in the best interests of Belle Vue and following on from that decision Ipswich as well.

in 1987 they started off racing at Derwent Park as the Glasgow Tigers, then changed mid-season to the Workington Tigers in the hope of increasing the crowds before being kicked out of the league. Workington Tigers Race Jacket below.

From Jordan Palin on Facebook Following the announcement by the management at Peterborough Panther’s I would like to confirm that I understand the decision and support the long term objectives of the Club. I have worked extremely hard over the winter to ensure all my equipment was ready for the new season and have been proactive in the development and progression of my career. It was and still is vital that my equipment is at the cutting edge of what is available. As with any development it can take time to fine tune, however my recent scores in the Championship and Poland have shown that my objectives for the development of the chassis and engine’s have now started to deliver against my high expectations for my own development. When I was made aware by the management of their decision I had to respect it and focus on the opportunities I had in Poland. The decision allowed me to book travel to enable me to attend the practice sessions with the coaching staff at Torun and that has enabled me to deliver in the very competitive U24 matches the following day. The help and guidance has also reflected in my contribution to the Team GB U23 performance. Whilst I remain a Peterborough Panthers squad member I will always give to the best of my ability, as I do with any club that I am lucky enough to represent. I wish Jordan the best of luck with his opportunity and can assure every one who knows me that I will continue to strive to deliver above expectation.

Nothing won in May either.

Told ya @Bald Bloke

forget that idea , they would not know how to ride a proper track . none of my coin going north of the border .they wanted to depart from the uk , let em go and swing .. Northside just got rid of the tin sheet mob . dont need the battered mars bar troop down in sunny wuggy way lol.

Replace Vissing with anyone who can score more than zero! The way Ben rode last night Kemp may stay at reserve a bit longer than was expected.

Yeah as 2 of them broke the TRACK RECORD Pickering just loves the dirt line everywhere he goes proper rider

I missed heats 11 and 12
