Yes, he's not the answer. His current average is fair and not much chance of pushing it up. It would be better to sign a younger rider with more prospect of improving.

Some Glasgow fans seem think Jack Smith on a low average is the answer.He’s been around 10 years ,it baffles me .

Only the Promotion know the financial situation for moving up a league,and if it is viable or risk against reward.The racing at Glasgow is superb most weeks and personally don’t think it would increase the crowd in any great numbers for a lot more expense.

i have no idea who we are signing or have signed but for the record would love to see James Pearson back. James is still only 19. He's had 2 seasons in the UK prior to this which must have been a huge learning curve - from aussie tracks to Birmingham and Plymouth! He started with a GSA of 4.08 and increased it to 5.51 which is pretty good. How many riders add c1.5 points to their average racing at a new track? I also wouldn't be opposed to Jack Smith returning either. He has beaten some good riders around Ashfield this year and been totally committed to the team.

Given attendances at youth events and even U21 finals I can't see how NDL would every be a consideration tbh, guaranteed loss maker imo. Prem and champ might be interesting and no doubt draw few more fans of local clubs don't see the big names. But really the champ just has to get it's act together and stop being dictated to by Phil Morris. Sort out a proper fixture list. We might have to accept missing riders more regularly but I'd take that over 6 weeks no fixtures in the summer

We all know it is not easy to persuade the FIM members, still we started this Facebook group 2 days ago and have already around 800 members. Dear Speedway-Supporters, please help to spread this message and join us. Thank you very much for your interest. https://www.facebook.com/groups/952441066646798

For such a small production it is a class act.Hits all the right notes regarding Riders interaction and pits stuff.Have to say guest riders Rory and Sedgy are superb at summarising the action track without shouting their head off.

congrats Lebedevs

I saw a post on a Wrocław page after the magic crash saying get Kowalski out of that meeting now and then he strangely touches the tapes

U21/youth events don't have great attendance, but I think that would only partially apply to NDL. People prefer to support a team, generally. NDL provides that, albeit the level would put some off.

I don't care what level of racing we have at Glasgow next year, but 11 home meetings a season is a joke. With the millions that have been invested in the club and facilities it would be nice to showcase it more than once every third Friday. It's always easier to spend other people's money so the Facennas will make the call. On the attendance nonsense. Glasgow raced midweek this year and between that and Friday nights I didn't see a collosal difference. I am positive that if the club decided to double up and Oxford have shown that it can be done, Edinburgh fans would be there to support the away teams for sure to see the superstars in the league.

This a great idea. The gaps in the Championship fixtures just do not do anything to retain or increase the fan base. If we raced both leagues, with some clever team selection, we could double up 4 common riders in both leagues. I believe collectively we would attract fans from Berwick, Edinburgh and Workington to our home meetings to see premiership riders like Sayfutinov, Lindgren, Bewley, Doyle etc. these fans as well as away fans from the premier league opposition in play. I believe these meetings would attract many more vs. the away fan attendance from Berwick, or Edinburgh for their individual visits.. Get a big Polish name in the Premier League team like Janowski or Kubera and a large market opens up in Glasgow for Polish fans......something that would of course need some focussed marketing to maximise the results. Time to give this a go is my thoughts......both leagues or at least the premier league.

Doesn't need British Speedway, the sport in the country should be able to support itself not rely on riders. He'll be back in British Speedway at some stage when he needs it, usually when he may be on the decline in GPs or in Poland

Only certain away meeting in Poland get a decent following, I’ve been to majority Stal home meetings and only ‘decent’ away support for Falubaz. Most other times you are looking at around 100/200 people. Toruń never sells out their home section either in league matches. 15k stadium is hard to fill granted but Stal gets better home support.

Where were all of these so called fans when the Eurosport cameras were in town showing the King's Lynn match? The part time glory hunters all come out of the woodwork at this time is the year

Change the record

R.I.P saw him a number of times in his Crayford days a very decent rider and Team man.

Good to see Steve Ribbons putting Mr Barrie in his place regarding his maligning of the Event.The majority of the crowd turning up knew what they were going to see.There was no need to “knock” the event through his SS Column.

The rent a mob football fans that always turn up for the play offs beware Lions fans.

No point just turning up for the play offs, you should support your club all season long.

Just like many of the Aces fans who, all of a sudden, have put an appearance in after having gone missing all season long

They will have who they want. No-one will be exempted. This is Speedway. This is Poole Poole are run by one of the 4 Management Committee Members; Oxford are NOT. The Cabal will meet, the Blue and White smoke will be spotted above the roofs of Rugby. Vatcher will be called in to adjudicate on behalf of the Cabal - erm sorry CCB - Cabal Control Board. He will pronounce forthwith- "The Rules are the Rules until the Rules are unfair Rules for those that make the Rules therefore on this occasion the rule makers have trashed the Rules and made new temporary Rules for the good of the Cabal (stet - Sport)...."

Couldn’t agree more - I wish Greg would do it permanently. I’m probably in the minority here but I can’t stand the women presenters not just Abi, Hayley Bromley too, not to mention the 2 other younger monotone models recently added to the BSN pits interviewing team - makes me cringe. Btw I’m a female!

People complain about price. But the middle block premium seats which are most expensive is always the block that sells out first.

Kerr is in for Leicesters Cook. 😃

No they haven’t. Not at all. You are spouting absolute nonsense.

Yet again Eurosport proves that it is not about the budget at your disposal, but it is how you use it! The brilliant BSN blows it clean out of the water on just a fraction of the budget!! IF ..... Discovery had any intelligence they would say to BSN: "Can you provide us with the speedway coverage next season please?" - the end result would be a saving to their budget and a far better production!

Disappointed to see price rises for the final. There is a cost of living crisis and many pensioners have lost their Winter Fuel Payments.

Let's be fair here, it's not at all Abi's fault. She's just doing her job. The nonsense chat is usually requested from directors through an earpiece. Man or women, it's irrelevant. Even Tatum & Louis (whomever is partnered with Kelv) chat absolute s#!+e most weeks. The discovery team as a whole has no idea what the watching viewers want to hear or see. Camera work, commentators, trackside presenters, the lot is absolutely dreadful. Terrible to just out the Lass, just doing as she's told.

I actually think she has improved a lot and is quite good now.

The irony of attempting to call somebody a moron and spelling it wrong, unless you meant Shooey and Kelly. 😉

Tripe is a fine, cheap and nutritious food, to be enjoyed cooked with onions and accompanied by dauphinoise potatoes on a cold winter day.

You don't need a smart TV to see BSN on TV. Just get a cable to connect tablet/computer/phone to the TV. I got a type C usb to HDMI cable from Amazon for a few quid and works a treat. Unless of course you're upgrading your TV anyway, then obviously a Smart TV is the way forward

He/She/Them/It/Venus Fly Trap Apologies for assuming he and general gender status But 100% it should be if X club wants Jenkins they get Jenkins but its never worked that way, clubs will get the rising star they want so Jenkins as an example will go where he wants to a degree if that club has a spot.

Eurosport are the ones responsible for the production looking so shambolic.

I get the feeling he thinks he is a superstar and Britain is below him. Participating in the British individual championship and bringing his polish engines over, thinking he would just walk it. Reality check when he didn’t get through to the final.

I don’t know why you bother making yourself look a fool. Przyjemski and Banbor riding today and Thursday and Friday Zmarzlik and Kubera riding Tuesday and Saturday Cierniak riding Tuesday Lindgren and Holder riding Saturday

I think it should be a good tie over the two legs, gutted for Ben Cook as one of the reasons I wanted Aces to make the final is that it would hopefully see two full teams and no guests. No idea who will take this or who I will be routing for, been super impressed with Blodorn and Voulas when I have seen them but equally Lions have two ex Lakeside riders in Lewis Kerr and Richard Lawson who is one of my all time favourite Hammers riders. Hope it goes down to heat number 30

Poole only have one rider to replace, can pick from 5 other teams, that's 35 riders to choose from. Would go for that Plymouth No 1 R/R 😁 worky had to find 3 guests

Blodorn 8.31 and rew 8.14 so they fit

The FIM may be asked but I doubt they would accept being told.

The Speedway Star is great. My problem is with the Post Office, five out the last six week it hasn't turned up on the Thursday. When I ring up the duplicate issue turns up the next day. Sometimes, the original will turn up on the Tuesday or Wednesday but usually not at all. It is getting so bad I am becoming increasingly suspicious about the Royal Mail as if this is going astray what else is?

100% this! He's a rider with a high ceiling and he could end up in GP Series. Concussion, especially deep concussion is a potentially silent killer. IF he has had some sort of initial seizure he will need some constant monitoring for a period of months and plenty of rest and relaxation. Even if he hasn't had a seizure, the nature of the crash (as descibed) suggests he'd be VERY wise to sit out the remainder of the season. He may be restricted initially in terms of long distance Air travel but ideally he can get home, get some sun on his back and come back fit and fresh next season. You simply cannot take risks with head injuries and concussion, fractures / muscle injuries you may be able to "patch up" - the brain you most definitely cannot!

The move away from Leicester and possibly the comfort of riding with his brother, has done him the world of good. There was always a rider in there and fair play to Plymouth for helping it show. It would be good to see him lead them next year but I have a feeling Louis may want him somewhere more competitive if he's to stay at Ipswich (who'd also be mad to let him go). Glasgow would be a great place for him as a second/third HL dependant on points limit. Harris and Pearson should be the ones they build a side around next year, if they can keep Rowe as well that would be a great start.

Kurtz got a set of bollocks on him.

Minority give the majority a bad name, even as a Sheffield fan I cringe at the Bend2 clowns trying to be equivalent of football Stone Island brigade with their repetitive idiotic chanting when they’ve gone past the line on more than one occasion

there will be no one there empty staduim next thursday it will be 2nd leg at Leicester against Aces 🤣

2nd priority is to come away with a 25kg bag of Maris Piper,they cost a fortune nowadays😀
