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

Assuming the weather doesn’t scupper this I can’t see the Monarchs winning the meeting nevermind the tie. Masters will go through the card and Nicholls quite possibly too. Sedgmen a really strong guest to back them up also. Anyway here’s hoping for a few good races given the Armadale specialists on show.

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.

Absolutely - I think it was thought it would be a last resort if needed rather than the seemingly go to norm so far

Don't think so

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

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

It's a joke?

I don’t deny he’s the wrong guest Lisa it’s the fact we are still using a guest for a situation that’s been running for nearly a month now

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

I've read before it's because the WiFi doesn't stretch to the entrance. No idea if that's the real reason, although 4G payment terminals are a thing, so it's not like they couldn't still do it. It is a PITA though - speedway is the only thing I ever use cash for. Just let me tap my phone and walk in!

No fishing rod here, as you say just different opinions

Prices….quite a few people , probably away supporters, last night were frustrated as no card payments on the gate and had to ask friends for funds.

Yeh,hats off to Conner has had a great start to his season.Riding very well.

No particular reason but most prefer to sit at 1st bend end rather then 4th bend. Ticket sales in general are poor this year, about 300 down on similar date to last year, cost of living really showing now .

Extremely lucky when he won his only one off in 1994. Given a second chance to beat Nielsen, who was absolutely walking it, in a run off, after an absolutely dreadful refereeing decision in Nielsen's 4th ride.

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.

What exactly is he going to bring to British Speedway? Genuinely what are his credentials? Aside from almost paralysing David McAllan.

dont like the points system total boring

Totally agree with all the above,be interesting to see what the crowds like next week, didn't look a big crowd if you took away Redcars following,how much is a double header this season?

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

Think laguta would make the grand Prix more interesting but Bartosz is generation rider. Unstoppable

Waste of time the others showing up Zmarzlik head and shoulders above everyone else. The only way he ll not win the title is if he gets injured

He GOT across him - then threw it away...

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

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

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
