Really? 2 wins from his 2 replacement rides. And meeting over before heat 15..

Having been looking forward to a Dad and his 2 lads weekend at the Grand Prix Round 2 in Warsaw we had brilliant day watching some excellent racing and the whole day went smoothly and as planned. Our flight home Sunday morning was an early one , we met and had photographs taken with Chris and Jack Holder , we met Jason Doyle and his pit crew all at the Airport which was a good start to our trip home. We had unallocated seats on the plane back to the UK and expected to be separated which was fine ….. the boys boarded as I followed on after only to go and find my youngest lad sitting next to the current leader , the one and only Jason Doyle with Simon Lambert sitting in front. As you can imagine my lad had the biggest cheesiest grin ever to be seen ! Both Jason and Simon chatted pretty much most of the flight home sharing stories and offering some banter. Jason also took a keen interest in my lads Kart racing and was more than willing to look at some photos and ask about the sport which made my lads days. To think Jason had been to work only a few hours before and come away winning the Grand Prix and still take time to talk and show interest in my lad is a day we will never forget. We now look forward to our next trip to watch Round 8 in Wroclaw only this time we’ll be joined by her indoors so I’m guessing they’ll be a bit of shopping and sight seeing involved !

Brilliant from Plymouth - well done - best team to visit so far. Thomson and Sedgy winning the IRR rides shows Picko’s withdrawal made zero difference to the outcome. Reserve points - paid 19 vs 3 - says it all.

What motivates people to always complain about call-offs? They all seem to be experts on track preparation (maybe they saw a video on youtube?). This time Chris Louis is wrong because he called off too early, last time he called off too late. Social media has a lot to answer for. It gives a platform for people sitting on their backsides to whinge about what is done by people that actually do things!

That's terribly unlucky timing for the young chap, what with it being Norway Day.

Waiting to hear what you think now!

Would hate to see Poland go down the average route, maybe only 2 GP riders per team

We are getting entertainment I've never enjoyed it more too be honest Yes we are weak at reserve But the biggest noise is when celina comes close or does pass someone It's not all about winning If you had zmarzlik and Lindgren as a pairing in your team it wouldn't be that entertaining as you would just expect them to win every heat

Really needs to go in room 101 tbh.

Mulford is racing in Germany , Tigers not allowed a guest so Mudgway has agreed to step in for one match might want to get your facts together before spouting crap

He has a spare tub for that night.

But they covered Pickering's last two rides with two wins, so that can't really be blamed.

Wood is dire.They must have thought” it’s only Plymouth”

Pmsl. Beat at home by a team with junior at no.1

Parnicki... Where has he come from? No 3? Fair play to the lad..

Tac Sub time for MONARCHS.

It wasn’t called off incorrectly, and it wasn’t called off the day before the meeting. The issue people have had as you full well know is that Lynn called it off the day before the meeting when the forecast wasn’t all that bad. The forecast then looked worse on the morning of the meeting, if it had been called then, then nobody would have batted an eyelid.

Those lineups sum up why the NDL has been reduced to a mockery. Nothing personal against Hutt but he simply lacks the ability to be either competitive or safe in a fixture of this level. The fact that Mudgeway has been quietly slid into the side in place of Mulford shows either cost cutting or more likely that Jake sees the NDL as nothing more than a nuisance. I feel for those who will end up paying good money for a very one sided match.

Probably not as much as he likes to make out. He was quoted as saying he wanted Lee in the team - that hasn't aged well. Would think they all sit down - Michael Max and Alan Dick - and rough out a team which needs Peter Facennas blessing then the promoters negotiate terms.

From the declared team the only one riding under their average is the one everyone expected to struggle at the start. Winning at home is what really matters in the first year, this side was predicted to take some hidings on the road and not many will come from Poole without it looking like a battering, Cook has been good for double figures all season and if he'd have hit the norm it wouldn't have looked so bad. Don't think there is a need to panic for Workington.

But considering mcgurk is a 2.00 rider he’s doing his job

Good to see riders passing on their knowledge to the younger guys. We seen Max Perry at Northside a few times last season and he never failed to impress, smashing little rider growing up fast, sure he will soon be scoring more points.

How come you have not included there most consistant and as far as i can see, rapidly improving Tom Brennan. Who also deserves a wild card for the SEC

A contentious decision but there aren’t many matches where there isn’t something that sparks debate. The proverbial ‘first bend bunching’ when a rider is knocked off. Different referees interpretation of when a rider is ready at the tapes to name but two. Bottom line is the match should have finished at heat 15, a draw. Super heat is plain silly. Mr Brown not doing himself any favours labouring the point.

You have one aggregate point in the bag, won away from home at Plymouth so that aggregate point is pretty much secured, Celina will never drop below a 4 average so I think stick with what you've got wait until just before the 75% league completion and then bring in a four pointer if needed.

There is a riders with bikes ready to go and willing to travel unattached

He's Ukrainian and 17, made a stunning debut at the back end of 2022 and Ekstraliga debut last season. He was one of my top 10 under 21's outside Poland in last season's Cheetahs' Chronicle.

if facility for nico has ran out thats maybe all they can use

i am now sure that the issue was with the pause on the VPN . the VPN can only be paused for a max of 2 hours . with all the delay with the track work , watching the build up (1/2+) ?. this eat into my VPN pause time and could have run out of pause time by the end of the meeting . i think i was a bit hard done by not knowing i had ran out of time on the pause to suspend my account was a bit harsh . but i hope i have brought a problem to light so no more of the speedway fans get caught like i did . UTCM again , thanks to those who picked their brains for me .well done .

But it's still free right?

You can't plz all the ppl all of t time hey, n tbf i suppose most long term speedway fans are shall we say getting on in their years and back in the day the riders used t pretty much race on anything and saw many a meeting raced on a soaking wet track, even if the track was waterlogged out would come the bags of sawdust and away we go jobs a good un

Yep, especially when riders like Henry Atkins were openly complaining that he wasn't getting enough track time. No reason he (and others similar) shouldn't be riding at this level to help with their progression. It's what the league is supposed to be designed for.

Not the only team who's reserves are struggling, it's not many into the season so they all need a chance to improve just yet .

Tapes up TV have a live PPV of the Abensberg qualifier on Monday.

Agree regular home losses are one of the variables having a detrimental affect on attendances which suggests some people are only prepared to support a winning team. Personally I wish we could have made better starts and the real Craig Cook was on show as I'm sure the racing would have been better with the Pirates having to come from behind. It's no fun travelling 400 miles to see your team ship 61 points but eh that's Speedway and clubs have to try and support each other for obvious reasons. I suspect it may well be another big score against the Gladiators if you guys gate like that.

Yes we won on Wednesday against the Comets. Has that been mentioned? Whoops lol I'm blurry eyed but avin a flat white to wake me up. Luv it supporting the Pirates

Yet somehow Celina Liebmann signed on a 4 average not 5?

We’ve already got six of those !!! (plus our rising star).

No problems. I know it’s only viewable for one device at a time. It’s just a thought

cannot complain about those numbers .

Thank you. I did email on the Tuesday at the address that you mentioned and it reached my credit card statement this Tuesday, so the luck of the draw in how they process the refunds.

Yes sorry was having a bad day, still got my prog, May 27th 1971 KO Cup and Malcom Shakespeare got a 15 point maximum for Long Eaton. Went down with me mates, plus a couple of weeks later took the wife down and we stood on the second bend, oww she never came down again, Funny that ?. So just me mates from then. KRO

Rather wish they had then. Up the Hillbillies, great little friendly club full of NICE people.

That’s it hind behind the fact that Muddlo has always done this & try to justify it. Not an old Swindon fan as I always will be one & I hope the same doesn’t happen to your club as what’s happened to us. Sad really that you have to even mention it. Hope Max keeps his confidence & belief in himself as it’s clear Muddlo & his teams fans don’t care either way. I’m a speedway fan & without these young lads being given a FAIR CHANCE then the sport is gone then who will you have to race then!!!!!!

Most definitely not (neither for or against brexit/politics have better things to do with my time), its the SCB that set the rules and for 2024 the "Tarresenko rule" that has clearly been hastily put together over a Wetherspoons lunch. Page 98 gives the breakdown of how the chicken bones landed on the table that day. Using Jaizers example Marcin who now rides in ekstraliga league two has a championship British average of 5.79. if he was a new assessed Pole he would now come in on an 8.5 because he rides in league one with an average over 6. As a showing of how frickin stupid this is he would come in on the exact same average as Kai Huckenbeck (Glasgow get the calculators out :) )

I thought the comparison between Tai's interview and Emil's interview was interesting - totally chalk and cheese. Tai always seems to have a chip on his shoulder and be looking for ways to be controversial - never seems to engage well with the interviewer. Compare that to Emil - both riders of similar standard but Emil much more interesting and easier to listen to.

If you look on Taz Mcdougal photography website you can see the sequence of photos for Jason’s crash at Berwick on Saturday. Very lucky to walk away and more amazingly take 3 more rides and win 2 of them.

Going by pictures on Website he got of lightly.wish him a speedy recovery.Very good talent a nice lad.

Surprised no one's filled him in over the years with his behaviour
