To be honest the Seasons fixtures are that disjointed the a lot of fans are losing interest with weeks between fixturesIMO.It was a mistake not to have 2 home and 2 away in the league.IMO.Not everybody wants a double header or a Bullets fixture.

Is he though? How can we be sure that Bartosz is the best around if he cannot prove it against the still undefeated 2021 World Champion? At the moment his wins are "asterix" wins. He is a Joe Frazier rather than a Muhammad Ali. He may well be a class above any other rider now, but he needs to prove it because last time he was pitted against Artem Laguta he lost. The Russians need to be there.

Let's be honest, the promotion aren't going to do a Press Release at the start of the season and say "Sorry folks, but you've got a poor team team watch this season. We've got it wrong this year", are they?

I personally think they should go back to the old system of every point counts towards your total

We've got super Ritchie Hawkins He knows exactly what we need Doyley out in front Beating every c..t Witches gonna win the f...£ing league

Read this post guys, it sums things up perfectly.

How was Pawlicki at fault there.

Yea it's shocking that the best rider wins every year.. Not sure what this closed shop is.. You have a route to make it to the GPS if your good enough..The old system. One off world finals was a complete Joke and rely on luck most of the time..

The Berwick track isn't the worst imo. Their meeting on bsn was far better than meetings at Poole and Edinburgh and not just because we won!! The team was always poor, I hope have signings lined up as and when new averages. Can't help think be better for both parties for Leon to have a couple seasons away if he's ever going to become a top CL rider

Jesus Christ! Lighten up, and stop taking everything so bloody seriously! The two of us had been joking about things this afternoon, and that's why I added the sentence about the miserable buggers who were complaining about the racing - and everything else. Anyway, if Doyle hadn't hit that rut, I don't think Zmarzlik would have caught him...

And Dave Rowe!

Nicki P refused to continue a meeting for Grudziadz today because of the track. Maybe he should just retire if he doesn't have the bottle for it anymore.

Maybe the polyfoam sections should be manufactured with 45 degree ends so each section slots together. Then if the fence was fitted so that the joint went left to right no rider could go through the joint as it would be going in the opposite direction.

They want them to stay and be available to guest.... Just in case Poland decide to run some meetings tomorrow....

But up from when? As they certainly ain't up from 10 years ago or 20 or 30. Prob up from the covid years when people stayed home

yes mauger, rickardson, fundin, briggs all very lucky.

Most fans who follow the sport closely can pretty much nail most play off and wooden spoon contenders well before a race is run.. And they also then pretty accurately predict what impact any changes made will have.. They know that, in the main, the riders average, and past performances at their own track, will be the key determinate on how the season unfolds.. You dont get too many surprises in Speedway, especially when you are dealing with riders of five years or more experience, who will pretty much be, in the most cases, at or around the level they will always be at.. If a team looks a wooden spoon contender in the eyes of a clubs most loyal followers, it will be based on some quite considerable knowledge, and very often, proved correct... Promoters on the other hand, have to talk up their teams, as predicting a poor season isnt generally a great idea... Deep down though, if they have even the slightest idea of the sport, they will know what they have... And if it looks like a bottom of the table team, then, most seasons, it usually will be..

Nobody knows... and if even R&R can't get it right, the ultimate test, the scoring system is not fit for purpose

Zmarzlik is a class above this field even in tricky conditions. Good to see the Brits go relatively well although Woffinden + Bewley will be disappointed not to of made the final. Great to see Lambert make the podium.

Deja vu. Bartosz' only competition are riders who were banned due to politics.

I really don’t understand the whinging about the racing, hardly like they can do anything about the weather. Believe it or not you can also turn it over and watch something else…crazy I know

His dad has tweeted recently that his had although a bashed up it isn’t broken

Maybe you should go out and risk your neck before you criticize others

Correct ,or what’s the point of the 28 day rule.

Very limited options even with almost 2 points spare. Bebee would fit for Watson and Kingston would fit in place of Freeman (haven't counted if a double switch fits). Berwick have been fortunate Halder has started the year well but theres a couple of passengers in the side.

Bowtell and Complin will go unbeaten I suspect.

Chapman was a football club owner & did a decent job. King's Lynn Town wouldn't be where they are now without him

He does. Because the original comment that he is a generational rider could well be right.

He was in front. Glad Woryna is ok, but he was at fault in my book.

Really? But he is good at Wolves so most teams would choose him imo.

Yes, they have clearly decided not to fix it, even though there are two fairly easy ways to do so (extend the WiFi, or get 4G compatible payment terminals). Edinburgh manage to make it work despite their entrances being a long way from the main bar area.

No fishing rod here, as you say just different opinions

That's great and we all hope it lasts but let's see what the trend is over the whole season. Early season optimism will evaporate for many teams and as @mikebv says once guests really kick in it will make it difficult for many to take it seriously and keep going. Guests certainly put me off going, my team are likely to have two this Thursday and that takes the shine off for me personally. I wish I could switch off the part of me that cares about the integrity of British speedway and just go and watch my team and the racing regardless but I can't. I want my clubs seven riders to race for my team and not somewhere else, or be worrying about them getting injured racing in the Championship. Doubling up and guests have got ridiculously out of hand and the sport is in a mess, it needs a complete overhaul from top to bottom and fresh governance who can run it properly and rebuild it into something that patrons and sponsors can take seriously. We need lots of clubs to be well supported and financially sound, not just a few.

The speed at the NSS is 100% flat out, however the bends entrance width, and depth of track material, make the passing opportunity.. For such a great track it actually provides it's best racing when on the "slicker side"... When grippy, it becomes follow the leader at top speed with the track record in danger. Fast but not entertaining... Given the modern machinery and riding style means riders hit the bends often on "full lock, sideways" it means to execute a pass you need room either side as you enter the turn. Not many tracks have that width to allow that, meaning the rider in front can affectively block any potential attack if he rides full lock almost mid track as he enters the bends..

Get right behind the Lads.

I don’t see may riders shutting off entering the 3rd/4th bend at Berwick.Everybody knows Belle Vue is an exception in GB built to a Polish spec from scratch. Ps The Berwick Track is F.I.M. Standard.

dont like the points system total boring

I think he's clearly the top 2 point rider in the league right now

On a more positive note Connor Coles becoming one of the better/most improved two pointer so far.

GP points 1st 20 points Zmarzlik 2nd 18 points Lambert 3rd 16 points Lindgren 4th 14 points Doyle 5th 12 points Woffinden 6th 11 points Michelsen 7th 10 points Bewley 8th 9 points Vaculik

GP points 9th 8 points Fricke 10th 7 points Holder 11th 6 points Dudek 12th 5 points Thomsen 13th 4 points Madsen 14th 3 points Janowski 15th 2 points Nilsson 16th 1 point Zagar

Admit it, you thought he'd be different this year...

Let's be honest, it's a poor spectacle. No ones fault, but you couldn't say it was entertaining.

Turned on.. saw Greg Hancock… switched off to be back in 45mins!! Cant bear the fake grin

They are definitely foam filled bags which is why it took 5 of us to lift bag off Aces leg!

should be a red card for lindgren

he was beating up SGP riders in 2009

The clubs Twitter and Facebook news updates are just about dead in the water now very little response to posts on either but do agree the clubs website should be updated on Pickering - though seems same story with Pboro not getting updates as well wonder what the connection is

With the amount of debt this crooked lot have run up, I can't see that happening. It's a huge plot and with other pockets from railway sidings etc nearby, worth some serious money. Would also cost the council a pretty penny to buy the lease back.
