Just seen some of those comments and they are laughable but typical of the Facebook crowd. I.e the type of people who’ve never heard of Tate or even Workington. Connor Mountain is a run of the mill 5 point Championship rider at 26 years old and they’ve just signed an 18 year old who’s already achieved a higher average than Connor ever has, who cares about nationality. Top level professional sport should be cut throat and I applaud the BV promotion for the change.

I've not read all the comments but surely the simplest thing to do is 2 home and 2 away no mickey mouse cup comps regular fixtures or am I missing something

It’s clearly just very convenient to exclude the guy who’s now out of the meeting rather than the one who momentarily loses control, makes contact with another rider pushing them into the fence. Decision is a joke

Average meeting by Ashfield standards, and now onto another 3 week break before the next home meeting. You can understand why people may get out the habit with the lack of continuity.

Useless TV direction/camerawork from Discovery yet again, how hard can it be?

Only 8 home league meetings a season is criminal.

Whoever thought this seasons format was a good idea needs hunted . The whole structure of fixtures or lack off is a shambles. I nominate your good self to oversee fixture planning next season as the trained chimpanzee who oversaw this season’s has made a James Hunt of it.

Congratulations to Freddie, worked damn for that, job done again for zmarzlik

Always sad to see a rider lose his place, but I can't believe any Aces fans didn't see this coming, Connor has declined recently and a change was needed.

Tough on Tai after his first race win, best wishes to him on a speedy recovery.

It is and add in the watering down the product points limit they seem to be trying there best to pi$$ as many people off as possible. Now I may be wrong but I always thought that you offer a product that entices your paying customers to attend regularly , currently the lack off regular meetings alongside a lesser quality league structure is not exactly good business sense , this lies firmly at the door of the BSPL and the promotions must be questioning their decision making.

Which is followed by 3 home meetings then another 3 week break. Think I'd rather we ran all our fixtures and the season finished in July or early August when the weather is at its best than drag out this nonsense and suffer rain offs, slick tracks and poor racing in Sep/Oct. There is also freezing your nuts off for 2 hours on the terracing, not that the customer experience is ever a factor.

Can't understand that decision, Kemp did his job at 6 for Leicester (4 points average) but now he'll have to ride in the top 5 at Oxford! I make that 3 times Oxford have de-strengthend this year Riss for Klindt Kerr for Cook Kemp for Kerr For a team well under the limit, baffles me. Maybe they don't want to make the play-offs due to lack of dates?

Congratulations to Tobias Thomsen on the birth of his 2nd son yesterday

You have to turn left at all tracks and if your fully conversant with scunny it's shaped Like a D so on the back straight your wheel are never in line. To me it was a hard but fair race until rider looks at you as he comes under you and runs you up to the fence . Then starts throwing punches after and is fined by the ref . No hard feelings on our part but the big Baldy bloke and the Weasley mechanic need to look at themselves

When Buster went on the mic at Peterborough and told the fans NOT to protest or object to AEPG was for most fans seemed he sided with AEPG. So the question gets asked why? People will assume / come to there own conclusions whether correctly or not.

Some brilliant moves on track from the main men.Track prep wasn’t good but the real racers just got on with it.

You mean "most" still moan... Too much in Poland... Crap tracks... No opposition for Zmarzlik... Crap racing... Phil Morris show... Crap camera work... We need World Finals back... Blah, blah, blah...

How good was that? GP Speedway... And some still moan....

Wow... What a first lap... These lads are different class aren't they?

Good to see it’s still the Phil Morris show and the riders are merely a sideshow.

Zmarzlik read it though.

Don't know Trees,but it's nice to see a post from you on here,haven't seen you on here for ages.

Isn't Phil dreamy...?

Huckenbeck certainly caused the crash.

Think about it... Everyone complains that Tai doesn't want to "mix it" these days. Over the last three or four years, nearly every time he has looked good, and nearly every time he has tried to mix it, he has been in the wrong place at the wrong time, and has ended up getting crocked.

Huckenbeck should be out for that,something that is strange is snapping 4 bolts in the handlebar clamps, got to think they are lightened

An action packed ht 7 - Kvech falling and Lindgren v Kubera. And what did we see?

Neither are the answer, Kerr is not fit, nor MPT. Also MPT has had too many chances, enough is enough. Please show some ambition KL, not back to the old guard that have failed

Probably moved Mountain on to free some points up to bin Kurtz and his protective boot off

I thought Darcy told him no PL this year?

Correct- Covid 2 GP’s !!!!

Thought the issue Skywalker Luke (not taking the mick, honest) had in the race with Lambert & the 2 Edinbugh riders (can't remember exactly or be bothered to check) was that Lambert left him a tad exposed so the 2 Monarchs effectivley 'beat him up'. It happens; 'you give me shove today, I'll give you a shove tomorow, long as we all survive to ride another day, then we go after it again'. IMO he'll learn more from such awkward on-track incedents, & going to Poland with GB U19 squad where gotta say he did blooming well, than beating NL-level riders with relative ease, well some of them. Said before, but Luke ain't half bad at speedway, at all, often need to check the number on his back to be sure it isn't the more experienced Ablitt one is watching. But young Luke has got 'it', that is the ability to race, not only ride, speedway very well, you only need to watch him for a lap, how much of 'it' he has, time will tell & it will be interesting to follow his progress, but he has defo got 'it'. Good luck to him I say....

This whole sorry business of dropping riders (sacking) call it what you like was outlined in an article by Phil Lansing in last weeks Speedway Star ....and to what end , move up the League a place if your lucky , I appreciate fans want a winning side but to drop and sign riders on a whim is wrong in my humble opinion.

Well I did say that in my post that I’m not max but appreciate the confirmation.

That's almost becoming a full time job

imo, it gives the best indication of how a rider is performing in Poland

But didn’t he come back last season to replace the uncommitted Laguta when the Stars had nothing to race for? Granted it was later in the season and no doubt sniffing another medal as a guest again.

Don't do PM's with anyone. Everything that needs saying gets said in public

Funny, because nobody had posted for a couple of days anyway. And speculating and guessing is what this forum is for mostly

Wait till the end of the season, there'll be plenty of racing in October after not running in the Summer.

True though he'd be taking you Belle Vue fans for mugs

Connor has had some good meetings and should be thanked for his efforts. However, the chance to sign Tate as a young prospect with great potential cannot be underestimated. Best of luck to Tate.. have watched him on BSN and it is a great signing.

pathetic comment

I think the pricing structure for the final is to subsidise the lack of people attending the other three meetings... Big costs for four meetings to cover... As a "one off", I would think somewhere between £35 to stand to £65 to sit would be around the cost...

Yeah we will see. Much better championship average than mountain, so reckon you’ll be eating your words once Tate gets settled.

Almost like they are deliberately trying to weaken the team. Perhaps they're scared they might make the playoffs and have to pay the riders for a few more meetings.

Any replacement for Jason will have to be in place by July 25th, barring any rain offs. Efforts are being made, but I wouldn't be surprised if a suitable replacement can't be found in time. It's hard to imagine play-off Bob coming to Foxhall...

That would be a madness. Still recovering from injury, can afford to be carrying a No6. Anyone coming in has to be 100% fit and up to speed. There's not enough time left in the league to give rider's time to find form.
