Good , about time Britain grew a pair

Didn’t see the incident so can’t comment apart from saying that someone calling themselves Mr Blobby calling someone else a clown seems quite ironic.

Some good racing belies the score line.

They maybe thought Lucifer Sam was planning a visit and didn’t want to take any chances this time.

Godfrey just doing for the Scunthorpe team what he's done for British Speedway

Enjoyed Leszno v Czestochowa. Some good racing but despite Kolodziej being head & shoulders above any other rider present the home team were well beaten. Don't get why most posters on this forum don't like Kolodziej, he's better to watch than most Poles. 

To be fair I don’t think he’s a new addition as he had a “disagreement” with him at Plymouth in 2021 I seem to remember. Every team would be better with a Charles Wright in it in my opinion, proper racer and always gives 100%.

Having only 10, out of the 14 riders who should have been there riding, was never going to stimulate much interest.. Add in the score from the first leg and an off night for BV and the crowd was always going to be lower than usual.. Bottom line is of course that if the Promoter's themselves dont see their competition's relevant enough to have their own riders there, then the fans understandably can feel the same, and be "elsewhere" too...

First time i've visited Glasgow this season and i left thinking this could be the year barring injuries that the Tigers lift some silverware. Bomber for me has always been box office regardless of where he rides, he's just a class act and worth the admission money on his own. Along with the in form duo of Basso and Brennan they form a strong heat leader trio. Glasgow seems to bring out the best in big Claus Vissing who along with Marcin Nowak form strong second strings. Ace Pjiper was very impressive tonight for someone 16 years old and as a Worky fan i'm gonna enjoy watching his progress for the Comets NDL team while the reborn Lee Complin is not far away from scoring bigger points. Bearing in mind it was cloudy most of the afternoon i was disappointed that there was dust from heat 1. Some of the racing was top drawer especially from Bomber and Tom Brennan. Scunny with the exception of flying Ryan Douglas and the early races of MPT were generally disappointing.The previous comments regarding their recent team changes are well justified in my opinion. At £20 pound admission and £3-50 for a programme its just as well the racing was generally entertaining.

Cracking meeting against Ryan Douglas .Loving the progress Ace Pijper is making , roll on the final

Good to see dropping Joe Thomson has worked out well....A little chuckle to myself if I must be honest.

Agree, and I'd pay to watch him over Lawson or Worrall any day of the week.

Have to say I agree with your last sentence. I believe LR should consider resigning as Birmingham Team Manager but remain as co promoter now that would be in the best interests of Birmingham Speedway as a whole.

Too stupid to be a village idiot.

So it all the fault of King Charles.

Laughable comments and show the sheer stupidity of people involved in the running of Speedway!!! The problem with refusing to face the truth is that that will make these mistakes over and over

all the reasons you said maybe correct, but didn't stop me from enjoying a few good races and understand there are still a few riders who put in effort whatever the circumstances.

Why is me stating that Mulford scoring, putting pressure on him. He won heat 4 at Birmingham, beat Roynon on Wednesday. He needs to start scoring at his home track. That is not being critical.

Not putting pressure on Mulford then eh? He’s a 2 point average rider and up against two former Bears and veterans for goodness sake and that’s just in heat 2! It’s down to ALL the Bears and the guest being on top form , from heat one, something which is not a regular occurrence at home but they are capable of it. Poole ride Redcar as well , if not better , than their own track so it’s going to be a very tough one for the Bears.

From the Berwick website When the fixtures were planned, May 6th was just another date on the calendar. No-one could have appreciated how a greater proportion than expected of the population (and therefore a greater proportion of the potential speedway crowd) would decide to celebrate the Royal day with a knees-up, and give our attraction a miss. From Wikipedia The organisation of the coronation was the responsibility of the earl marshal, the Duke of Norfolk.[8] A committee of privy counsellors arranged the event.[9][7] On 11 October 2022, the date of the coronation was announced as 6 May 2023, a choice made to ensure sufficient time to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II before holding the ceremony.[10][7]

Poole scored 48 and 50 on their last 2 visits to Redcar, so still are favourites to go through. If the Bears can win on the night that’ll be a good result.

Highlight of the season so far on BSN. Dicks antics after the celebrations at Armadale. Comedy gold.

I for one was planning to go, the only thing that stopped me was the admission price

Best ever quiz answer was: "In his ancient Greek epic poems, Homer described Nectar as the drink of the gods. What did he say was the food of the gods?" Answer: Well I know Homer likes doughnuts. So I'll say doughnuts.

I'll happily accept some apologies if you like Peterborough fans. Billy Bigbollox not so much the future now is he Chapman is the easy target, when it's clear the responsibility for this team is more '2nd Hand Motormouth' & Allitt.

A tip for all those going- keep your eyes peeled next week.

Yeah from Traçkrat and co

Absolutely correct that's what is done every week in the interval. Some people on here not got a clue.

I must have witnessed something different, Didn't see any dirt bladed off. Tractor went round both ways moving what dirt there was to cover track evenly.

Leicester aren't in it, so it'll be fine...

I liked Ged Rathbone..yes he made a mistake with the Jack Holder thing but he was passionate, great with the fans and wanted to win and always kept us informed of goings on..

Allen pretty lucky imo

Probably right decision but looked from my angle Allen was passed and turned back when Claus was already there?

Cross that bridge when you come to it. So you are basically making Ben the scapegoat cos top 5 is no good. Not really his problem. How about sign a new top 5 and keep the reserves? When it is unfair yes i will go on and on and on! lol Ben Cooks has been doing his job. If the Danes don't do theirs why does he have to take the fall for it?

Indeed... It is a shame that the actual product (which is a good as at anytime I have watched it), is so undermined by such nonsense as having 4 out of 10 riders not there, (in this instance)... It wont change though sadly, any time soon...

The reason I continue too go is because it’s my team I’ve supported since 2005, win or lose I will continue too go and I will continue too give my opinion, believe you me I’m well aware it’s a waste of money and the choice too go or not is mine but this is likely the last speedway I’ll see at Peterborough as I wouldn’t go anywhere else

Hans and Niels are club legends and your comments towards them are distasteful. Have you forgotten about the 2006 Elite League season? Hans won us the title.

If Andersen isn’t sacked now then he never will be, that bloke in my eyes has gone from an outstanding club legend too a woeful way past his best club captain who needs too pass the torch and call it a day. I thought he was crap last year but this is ridiculous, Iversen has done nothing, worrall has had one decent meeting and that’s about it. Basso is actively trying and the same for Ben cook, and jenkins is continuing to make steady progress. This joke is going on too long and the performances on track are just abysmal. I’m not gunna sit here like a happy clapper and go down the route of thinking ourselves lucky, at the end of the day we are still paying for this rubbishe, it’s there job, you wouldn’t go around bodging jobs and still get paid top dollar so why are we paying that for this rubbish. There literally is no positives anymore, anyone that fully believes there is is in dreamland or on some very good gear

Scorpions will be close for win, close match up

Posted this elsewhere in February: figured it out long ago. "If Tomalin is putting money in for not a lot whilst allowing Chapman & Co to serve up their usual dogs, accompanied by rubbish PR for their paying customers, then he's the usual good businessman in his field but out of his depth in the speedway environment of shark infested custard?"

I'm 99.999% certain all draws, wether in the night or on aggregate lead to a superheat. They got rid of KO Cup replays a few years back due to too many fixtures, there's no reason for that these days though! (Yes I know this isn't a cup match)

Absolutely If someone before a ball had been kicked had said this is what will happen then they would've been rounded up and put in a padded cell

*minimum of 6 minutes. Anybody would think you didn't want Wednesday to win I think we all accept that refereeing is inconsistent, especially at lower levels, but that shouldn't take away from a fabulous tie. Proper footballing theatre.

I've completely gone off the bloke after last night tbh. What he's also saying is.......If you don't put up with the current situation then you're not a true supporter and you're just a keyboard warrior for complaining about the clubs losing streak.

It takes a brave man to try and team ride around the outside of Krzysztof Kasprzak

Supporters bus coming over and a few cars, hope you got plenty of beers in the bar, be good to support the comets at an away track again UTC

Correct Geoff....Workington isn't a 'holiday resort'.....ha, ha. The almost certain scenario is that next Sunday will see less through the turnstiles, this is usually the case with Speedway. In 1970 the Thomas/Brownhutt duo introduced speedway at Workington for a second look at the 500cc bike action (Lonsdale Park were the first one). Now Speedway hardly ever gives regular attendance figures (unless as evidence that more fans are urgently needed...help us etc.). But in 1970, April, the Comets faced Berwick in front of a reported 6,000 spectators - fantastic - but that figure soon halved as those who came via the curiosity/novelty factor didn't attend on a regular basis - nothing new about that as I said earlier it usually/always happens at Speedway. After that second era disappeared for many years Ian Thomas and Tony Mole revived the Comets in 1999....and a reported 4,000 plus attended the meeting v Newcastle....soon to see half those fade into oblivion re Speedway. A regular feature of the sport. However I think this latest revival can outdo those other Comet efforts i.e. more long term fan base by continuing to improve the already top facilities...for example add seats, have other attractions - things that Derwent Park couldn't/can't accomodate The track will probably be available for rider training, Derwent Park never was because of the rugby taking precedence. Good luck to the latest Comets regime it's definitely a case of so far so good.....UTC.

Nowt wrong with this week's star. as plenty of Workington coverage in it Hopefully same this week #UTC
