It seems to me that trying to place any firm parameters on rain-offs is futile. Local knowledge is the vital thing - stadium access, track conditions, machinery available (and if it can actually get on the track) all point to what might be possible. Add in weather forecasts and the financial considerations I outlined above. In the end the buck stops with the Promoter, who has to make a decision* - right or wrong. I’ve postponed meetings that could in the end have been raced, and not postponed ones that led ultimately to either a very late call off or an abandonment. The one thing I hope we all agree on is that in the current climate no Promoter can afford to incur all the fixed costs of a meeting without a high level of assurance the meeting can be staged. * Prior to the arrival of the referee who then assumes the role of decision maker.

I am in Poland for the weekend`s Speedway, so having to post early Sunday`s details- with the 3 matches all starting at 6.15pm UK time on different channels it`s all going to be a bit difficult. Sunday August 28th Lublin v Leszno start time 6.15pm UK time Eleven Sport 1 Sunday August 28th Gorzow v Torun start time 6.15pm UK time Canal + 5 Sport 5 Sunday August 28th Czestochowa v Wroclaw start time 6.15pm UK Canal + family http://kergel.ucoz.lv/ will i`m sure hope to show all 3 at the same time on 3 screens Other links Lublin v Leszno http://www.maniaki.tv/st1 https://livetvon.click/embed/stream-71.php Gorzow v Torun http://www.maniak.tv/mk7 https://livetvon.click/embed/stream-75.php Stewmac will hopefully post any VK links

Yes but you know the bspl will screw it up somehow, one female rider will be unavailable and they will get bomber in drag to guest in place of her

Only up to heat 3 but better racing than Cardiff GP already.

No it doesn't. It just needs common sense, effort and will to get the meeting on when possible without excuses that don't stack up. When you're not doing the organising and paying the bills though then logic and solutions usually come easy. I wish they'd called this off at 10am in the morning. I also gave £50 to the collection but I thought that it was collection to take the mic off the bloke making all of that noise pollution up to about 7.10, as well as locking the DJ in the bog for the evening!

Redcar Bears announce first signing for 2023. Welcome to the Bears, Harry Houdini!

Well done Adam Roynon.

Can't believe that Cardiff is viable with 22000 in attendance. Eventually Money will talk

If we get the this quality of racing tomorrow we're in for a treat. These kids never give up.

Yep also switched it on at ht9, fantastic action!

Switched it on at heat 8 - more entertaining speedway then quite a few meetings I've watched this season.

Yet again the inside was the place to be if you made the gate with very little chance of anyone making an outside pass. I am sure Kings Lynn were delighted, Not sure Peterborough fans would be of the same opinion. Fast race times generally mean a grippy white line, a trapping contest and a follow the leader from start to finish.

classic bully boy small IQ mentality; narcissistic... always claiming he's spoken to someone, qoutes an all, delusional bullies don't like it back, can't handle it

Yes... but have you seen the forecast!

As all three Ekstraliga matches will be at the same time, as Racers and Royals said, Kergel's ucoz link will be the place to find them all. The VK links we will have to wait and see, but they obviously will likely only focus on one of the 3 meetings. Once they come live, I'll add them.

When I arrived at the track around 5pm, the track staff were just getting access to it as it had been too wet to do anything with, the surface was bladed off and they all restarted laying a fresh surface with additional new material, once relaid it looked quite good but very grippy, once the riders and management s looked at it, it was all bladed off again, difficult to imagine who requested that. But that left it slick with pretty much nothing left and a trappers paradise, times were good but the racing was complete shyte and didn’t suit anyone on the home side other than Basso who was riding with a shoulder injury. It certainly didn’t suit Bomber and with Andersen and Nicholls on their usual steeds it was very predictable which way this match would go. For the record I still don’t think Lynn will make the Play offs

"Christine" Harris - 2023 Champion.... Looking like Lesley from ITV's Benidorm.....

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery? .......poor form once again from the mafia, at least make reference to the work started by IOW rather than trying to pass off as thier own idea. Embarrassing once again by those in charge.

There lies the problem as i think its better if they ride the bikes myself,

My immediate thought was "isn't Barry Bishop doing this already and with far more passion and sincerity than the BSPL could ever muster"

And just what were Newcastle speedway paying Nick Brown for?

Plymouth Glasgow won't be staged b4 cut off So Plymouth have just match v Redcar to count in play off calculation. Presumably they'll have to race after cut off to avoid a hefty fine.

Yes , if Scunthorpe gets a point at Berwick redcar needs a draw at least at Plymouth

The league is past the 75% fixtures limit for changes.

In commentary they said that they think he lifted for far too long and the front wheel was at too much of an angle when he came down, it was a weird fall

these refs are getting pathetic. getting worse than lollypop ladies. power gone to their heads

He may of hit a soft spot this is not having a go at the track, but those that know will know what I mean.

220000 Two Hundred and Twenty Thousand???

I feel bad for you... The way this bloody world is deteriorating, I certainly don't have any intention of being around in 35 years! I'm ready to go now - well, I want to stick around for a few weeks to see if Bewley qualifies for next year's GP's...

And possibly the weirdest ever autotranslate I've ever seen:Miedziński was excluded from the rerun. We are waiting for news about his health. The Gryffindor Rider is definitely unable to continue riding.

Not a Poole thread don’t care.

He needs something because his eyes are not that good. He missed both of Jorgenson's blindingly obvious jump starts.

I believe it goes to the 3rd decimal point first, then who was higher in averages previous month. At least what I was advised when questioned ulle and Tom for us

That’s how I heard about it, it was on planet rock a few times

I don't think he will want to.

Say no more

Looks like Dan Gilkes could be back soon

Thanks John

If those are your Spread figures, I'll have £500 - More on Mikkel Andersen 3.

Just tagged you in a thread on this with what I think are some links to free live streams

So as long as Scunthorpe get a point at Redcar and redcar does not get a point at Plymouth Scunthorpe are 6th !!

Links for tomorrow from 3pm UK time http://kergel.ucoz.lv/ http://www.maniaki.tv/st9 http://assia24.com/live/mix-sport33/?lang=pl

I spoke to a rider in the same race and he said it was a reckless move and dangerous, if he came off the throttle he would of straightened up and gone through the fence. Anyone who knows anything about speedway would agree. Why try to defend the indefensible? I know you like a wind up but that could of been alot more serious!

agree belle vue redcar and glasgow are great racing tracks and not much home advantage all riders love riding tracks like this

I want to watch the potential future stars, young as they are. Where is the GB up to promoting 250 racing? I watching qualifying for MotoGP/2;3 and scheduled for this afternoon is Moto-e, and Red Bull Moto GP Rookies Cup which is the youngsters. DORNA see the need to move forward, apart from what I said above, they are introducing next year a shorter Moto GP race for Saturday afternoon, which will give points to winners. The new promotors of F1 started a new short race on the Saturday last year at certain tracks and going with it this year.

Seeing who it is the reading bit might be his defence.

Ok, lets look at probably the daftest fixture ever ridden in British Speedway, and that takes some beating... Pretend Plymouth vs Pretend Birmingham, both teams made up of riders pretending to replace a rider pretending to ride for a pretend club: Pretend Plymouth: 1. Richie Worral: Kings Lynn & Leicester pretending to be Ben Barker: Plymouth & Ipswich (+Wetherspoons) 2. R/R for Alfie Bowtell: Plymouth & Kent 3. Lewis Kerr: Kings Lynn (at the time) & Redcar pretending to be Ed Kennett, who was pretending to be a Speedway rider 4. Danyon Hume: Ippo (at the time?) & Glasgow pretending to be MPT: Plymouth & Peterborough 5. Josh Pickering: Kings Lynn & Edinburgh pretending to be Hans Andersen: Plymouth & Peterborough 6. Ben Morley: Plymouth & Kent 7. Harry McGurk: Plymouth & Belle Vue Pretend Birmingham: 1. Kye Thomson: Edinburgh pretending to be Claus Vissing, who was pretending to be a Birmingham rider 2. Jacob Hook: Edinburgh pretending to be Josh Auty? 3. R/R for Stefan Nielsen: Birmingham... but wasn't there 4. Broc Nicol: Glasgow pretending to be Ashley Morris? 5. Justin Sedgmen: Birmingham & Sheffield 6. Lee Complin: Armadale pretending to be James Shanes: Birmingham & Mildenhall 7. James Pearson: Birmingham! Woo Hoo! an actual Birmingham rider! ... I'm going for a lie down
