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. 😉

If Magic is out, then I'd fancy Gorzow to pull it back

If it’s less than a year old it will probably have a web browser, it’s what I use to watch BSN. I just go to the webpage and log in and watch it from there.

Much as I love Tobi, I'll be gutted if Emil doesn't return 😪, also like his namesake Mr Kroner he is a tad injury prone.

Agree the Ref should have at least questioned it .

The young lady on BSN does seem like a bit box ticking exercise and a bit cringey but my son thinks she is wonderful but that’s more about his hormones than her speedway presenting talents

No good coming to Poole then

Guested for Workington at Poole in the semi final, so not allowed to guest for a different club in the semis / finals. It's a bit unprofessional that neither Scunthorpe nor the BSPL knew the rules before the match, why was his inclusion permitted? It's possible no-one would've noticed, but it's one of the changes caused by last years Premiership play-offs "issues".

5-30 I believe

Picko absolutely sublime tonight. A 15 point max with 4 wins from the back. If it is his last appearance for Monarchs what a way to go out! He's been a joy to watch over the last 7 or 8 years. Good luck in the future Josh. Congrats to the Scorpions on reaching the final, although it was never really in doubt after a disappointing home leg for Edinburgh. Been really impressed with young Luke Harrison this year and his race with Josh tonight in Heat 13 was outstanding.

Absolutely. So many meetings with all the finals Poole are in, it gets a bit confusing.😇 So unlike Plymouth with few fixtures, few riders.................................!🤣

BSN captures the essence of speedway and listening to Greg Blair is like sitting in the van with him on the way to the meeting,it’s fantastic,I don’t mind abi and her enthusiasm is to be applauded but Eurosport’s coverage is poor and they treat speedway like they don’t really understand the sport,which they probably don’t often missing the action and the less said about the onboard camera the better,Tatum, Louis and Nichols are ok but they don’t capture the in the moment element that speedway is, it’s rawness,down to earth nature,a working man’s sport, there is a saying in motorsport “all the gear no idea” Eurosport should have this as their moto, they have earned it, commentary is subjective, some you like some you don’t but that’s not really the problem with Eurosport

Well one of them will be in a big sulk… guess who ?

So the semi final is set. 2nd in league Leicester v 3rd in league Belle Vue. Let's see who they meet in the final.👍

Can't wait for the second leg. Kings Lynn ! Buster are you ready?

I thought Yorkhire was famous for puddings not crumbles......

The main question now is which team will Chris Harris ride for in the final? Belle Vue or Leicester?

If Belle Vue win I'm just so glad we will get the second leg. We were robbed as fans having the last final at King's Lynn

Cheese and Ham ok?

Very harsh.. He had an horrendous wrist injury just 24 hours before that made him miss the riders championship..😁
