Whilst we have this thread going. Can I just say a huge Thank You to BSN for their coverage this year. Excellent job and much appreciated

Good evening. I’m very sorry to hear you have had trouble getting in touch with us. Could you let me know what email address you are using to contact us as I can’t see an email from anyone relating to this. Could you please email us at support@exstreammedia.co.uk and we will sort this for you. Accepting a reduced rate for a month doesn’t cancel a subscription, it’s an incentive to stay with us. So you would have to cancel after accepting that if you still wished to end your subscription. There will be no issue refunding your last payment if you have no intention of watching the final, so we will happily sort that for you. Regards, Ben Duffill (BSN)

People see what they want to see, and will apportion blame where it suits. Some will seek to blame the referee, some will choose riders, some will choose the rule makers. I think the one point I would make was that for me Christina was very consistent in her application of the "rules" Personally I disagree with most of the decisions made these days, where the slightest contact results in a rider taking a dive and getting the decision, but that is very much how the sport is decided these days. Anyone thinking Holder should not have been excluded when Wright went down in the first leg must also agree that Brady shouldn't have been excluded in heat 1 of the second leg, both occasions where a rider made a forceful move with minimal "rubbing" on the way through, the rider on the outside could easily have straightened up and conceded the move, but instead chose to take the contact and chance a get off and reinstatement. For me this is how speedway is going. I'm not keen on it, but it seems to be the norm. The reality of both legs was if you went up the inside of someone and there was the slightest of contact, you were deemed the guilty party. At least she was consistent in that regard

A home promotion needs to offer either a winning side or an entertaining racetrack (ideally both!) If it's neither that's a slippery old slope. The club needs to have a long hard look at itself over the winter and decide what it wants to be.

Here here.

Still, a youngster compared to me sadly. But regardless I would have Danyon back in a heartbeat.

And what makes it so frustrating is that it will quite likely happen again... If the promoters themselves dont see their own competitions as being important enough to be ran properly, and to be therefore taken seriously, then what chance are they giving themselves of convincing fans, media and sponsors, that these competitions are worth attending, covering and sponsoring? As often will be said.. There needs to be a strong hand on the tiller which ensures so much 'self inflicted nonsense' (which can only undermine the sport), is eradicated.. Be that an independent person, or party, or someone within the BSP who gets given total authority to make decisions for the good of the sport, and has the power to impose consequences to those who fail to comply..

Round 5 at Leicester on 25 October! https://britishspeedway.co.uk/calendar/2022-fixtures-results/

Have to agree well worth every penny, my only gripe is I can't get it on my TV and have to watch on a laptop. I'm sure a techy could sort it tho. A BSN app would be good but again I've no idea if that's possible and the cost to BSN. il definitely be signing up again next year

For the sake of 10 or so rider who only ride in the PL is it really worth continuing with two leagues. Yes there may be a shortage of riders if there is only one combined league but look at restructuring the team set up with the two reserves being NDL standard and have their programmed rides solely against each other with a start from each gate. There are so many ways to improve the sport f only the powers that be would listen

100% this they can’t keep chopping and changing they need a long term plan and stick to it.

Did you read the terms and conditions regarding recurring payments. Many Card payments are based on recurring not one off payments and that includes if made via PayPal. How long ago did you query it? I doubt BSN have a staffed Admin Centre and may be reliant on people responding in their spare time or after their full time job. It's easy to become attuned to 24x7 business operations and to forget that small start ups, which BSN is, are just that, small start ups. You should always ask and qualify when making any card payment that it is a one off and not recurring. Hopefully you'll get it sorted. BSN are run by excellent people.

I almost can't quite believe the things that people will find to complain about. We now can't even see the simple release of a book without some form of controversy needing to surround it.

Online ticket sales are great until someone realises there's a record of them. Cash is King

League winners or play off winners? Poole have a GSA total of a bit over 42 while Leicester are well over 44 . Glasgow over 46, so not all teams would be improving their squads. Monarchs about the same figure as Poole, so keeping their big two might not be a problem. Wages limit was tried in the 80s. Don't remember it working, with sponsorship being the way around it.

Maybe you have to be, or at least think you are, photogenic with an eye for photobombing at every opporchancity

You asked my reasons I gave them. You don't like them.thats up to you but we could've won the treble I'd still want him replaced. Simple as

He's unprofessional and doesn't represent the club well imo. Gets too involved in situations shouting and swearing at opposition fans and riders. Wants to be the riders pals like the sycophant he was as the parade truck driver. Throw in countless shocking decisions over the years just a few of my reasons. I'd have far more respect for Micheal but no o think as a so called professionally run club should have someone with a proven record at the job. Off top of my head rossco would be my preferred choice. Or see what Ian Steele is up to these days

One of the nicest guys in speedway, has been severely unfortunate in his career, always seems to get bad injuries. With a family to think of, I think it’s the right call. All the best Sarj

The BSPL could have fined him but no let's short change the public.

Sometimes a change of scenery for rider can do the trick. At Sheffield he has Steady as his Team Manager, who has worked hard with Lewis on his riding, and the one thing Promotion at Sheffield have been please with Lewis is the fact he has took the advice given and acted on it. Not something that the Estate Agent could do at Kings Lynn.

Bournemouth Vs Southampton in football. Crowd would be down by a third imo. Though weather is way worse on Weds than Friday anyway!

We can help you with that Bruno. We currently have 2 apps, one for IOS and one for Fire TV, so there will be a cheap solution for you to get our streams across to your TV from a phone, tablet or laptop. Drop me an email personally at ben@exstreammedia.co.uk and I can go through the different solutions available to you if you like. We are currently exploring ways to expand our app options for 2023, but as always, affordability is the big barrier we face due to the sheer cost these apps have to develop, which start in the thousands! Please be assured that we are constantly exploring ways to improve our service and to make it easier to access for everyone. Thanks everybody for your kind comments and for your support of BSN. We’re incredibly grateful! Ben Duffill

What an awful meeting. Crap track + Crap Team = Hardly any fans and no atmosphere. 1 decent race out of 15. Entertainment zero. It will take a hell of a team to get me back next season. Had enough!

Yup totally agree but seems a certainty this year it's coming down to 40 at least. The failings of the prem mean the champ has to suffer

The e mail address I've got is support@exstreammedia.co.uk says they will get back in touch within 48 hours good luck.

Why does everyone always want to keep lambert he’s dreadful away from home and he ain’t going to get better, being a good team man alone don’t win you trophies.

I had a response from Ben duffil on here so there are people involved with BSN on this forum

Hi Lisa thanks for your reply I will try social media if I get no luck here thanks..

I never trust anything that doesn't have a customer services phone number! Have you tried through social media?

BOOK SIGNING: We are pleased to announce the venue and date for PC's first book signing . . .THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27 Longsight & District Sports & Social Club 140 Kirkmanshulme Lane, Manchester, M12 4WP.5.00-7.30pm. Free admission.

Yup. They need 10 plus. The tigers will be smarting from the play off and are race sharp. If we ain't out of the starts tonight like a rat up a drain pipe we're in trouble. This is one meeting where i don't want to see Lewis scoring many, but fair play to him he has upped his game since leaving, and i can see him scoring around 8 tonight. Don't want to seem glass half empty, but i can see the Tigers being to sharp tonight, and we will do well to win the meeting.

But... would that best person be able to "Escape From The Chateau". Converting the Poacher into the Gamekeeper might not be easy... unless the Premiership would like to move to a Wednesday?

I like Paco a lot, but is he really good enough for the Premiership?

Sweden back to Tuesdays only. Just in case others do not look elsewhere bar British threads. Poland pinching the occasional Thursday even though they have spare/empty weeks mid season.

Bickley is just a case of not much improvement over the last 3 seasons.Plenty before him have been in the same boat.

Are we show-casing any new Euro prospects / new team members for 2023 in the prestigious staging of the Olympique tonight? Or is it Chris Harris and Scotty Nicholls for a change?

Ace Pijper is no where near Championship level and it would be a mistake to rush him into the 2023 team. One more year at NDL racing will do him much more good.

Yep Danyon has to be offered a spot next season with Basso and Brennan. We need too build around youth that are only going too improve.

If points limit is 38, you really want Dougie and Josh?Their averages are 9.38 and 8.92! Potentially half the points used. And I just realised talking to a Glasgow fan haha. @IronScorpion it is a lot of points to use up! Hopefully there be a rule banning anyone with 9 point average as they don't need this league and not fair on NL riders moving up.

To be fair the majority of the crap is coming from a set off fans based in Dorset. Come to think of it 90% of the crap on most threads on here come from a set off fans based in Dorset. Go figure.

Wanting rid of him is nothing to do with winning and losing!!

At the start of 2016, Dan Bewley was very much outclassed in the Championship, but stuck at it (and Edinburgh stuck with him) as he developed through the year. Ace should be given the same chance.

It wasn’t called the Craig Cook farewell meeting so wether Cookie was riding or not wasn’t the reason fans of the 3 Northern clubs attended. You really seem intent on creating an issue on anything related to Glasgow. As stated above by Cyclone nobody had an issue with it well except you.

Sheffield Heat Leaders.. 18 off 14 rides in leg one.. 25 off 14 rides in leg two.. 43 off 28 rides in total.. And that includes a gifted 5 points in Heat Fifteen of leg two which was a dead rubber.. A collective average of 6.14 for the three Sheffield HL's.. And some still suggest it was 100% the refs fault that the Tigers lost...

They come up with effusive quotes from the Team Manager when the team wins, but barely acknowledge a defeat - Plymouth being the most recent example - and no mention of Cooks absence, for which it seems he has received a suspension, something unlikely to be recorded on the clubs FB page. Similarly no statement about the Jubilee Final.

All the big decisions already sewn up in August Just a bit of tinkering around the edges (and some gerry mandering if required to shaft as required )

Berwick have done a lot of good work putting in a pathway from Duns to NJL to National League to Championship then hopefully onwards for riders. It's slowly starting to bear fruit now. They deserve a lot of credit for it.

Nicholls would be excellent at Plymouth an artist on the small track.
