  1. And most are there because it’s their team not because it’s speedway, it’s tribalism and it’s the very foundation of any team sport but the concept is lost on British speedway

  2. My guess is (sorry to repeat previous) that the drainage itself isn't as much the problem. it's more about being able to empty the sub-track tanks if the vehicles required to be filled with and take away water, and those required to do track maintenance, would need to be driven onto and along a track which is still very soft from the huge amount of recent rain. We wouldn't want a speedway match to be run, with riders having to go either side of a marooned lorry partway along the back straight. The way the money was raised to finance the building of Beaumont Park may have been questionnable, but it was fully privately-funded and didn't have the benefit of any provision from public funds. While it's true that the land it occupies is owned by the local council, the stadium also had to be fitted into a tight space, with restricted vehicular access around the perimeter, especially to the north where the perimeter is an industrial estate. Almost every year, work has been carried out over the winter to try to improve the track and drainage. But sometimes you can't overcome the effects of Mother Nature, so this decision is completely reasonable and sensible.

  9. It's only because we had a months worth of rain in 24 hours... there's never been a match cancelled at Leicester because of rubble poking through the track

  19. I think you have a good chance mate, you are better out of the starts and all it takes is for Fricke and Lawson to pop out in heat 1, get something out of heat 2 and you can get on a roll, your top 4 will all be better than at BV, for us we need to get out the starts better and hope our top 4 can take points off Leicester heat leaders as our reserves and Norick could struggle, we have to avoid last places, as you say difficult but certainly doable.

  24. I don't understand that personal comments toward Abi. Comment regarding her professional skills, fine, getting personal, you can do better than that. As others have mentioned, directors will be telling her what guff to come up with, directors came up with the stupid #'s, is she going to say 'no - I'll do it my way' absolutely not, she probably appreciates her job. It's easy to switch off for 2 seconds when she's talking if she's ruining the experience for you.

  26. Totally disagree Danny to be fair scores the points that you would expect. However it’s not all about that is it? The biggest issue is when the chips are down he either goes missing or makes a novice error with riding lines. The semi final at Leicester being a prime example, on a comfortable 5-1 & then falls. Also can’t team ride to save his life I’ve seen more team riding from Nicholls & Brennan in their witches appearances this season than King has managed in the last 5 years.

  27. 100%agree regarding the mechanical knowledge of how the bikes works is big part of being able to make the correct changes on set ups.Many of the young Brits do not have that IMO.

  32. That’s far too weak at the bottom end. Far better of with Ellis & Rew in the middle order.

  33. Adam Ellis rode all season as second string Danny King rode 95% as a heat leader Danny King got a higher average than Ellis riding in a harder position Yet people want Ellis back but not King … as a second string Danny would be fine This is nothing against Ellis who is be happy to see stay but just to gain perspective

  35. Just caught up with their coverage of Monday night, it was terrible as you'd expect, but they couldn't get off air quick enough, although scheduled to finish at 21:30 they cleared off at 21:00 without speaking to either of the team managers!

  36. Rew will stay at Ipswich as it will be security for him in UK knowing the team and the management and knowing they won’t just drop him if he had a bad start. He is really coming on good and Ipswich gave him that chance.

  39. Unfortunately “the set up “ is more and more important these days to the point now where even in British speedway if you don’t have it close you won’t even be competitive and that’s sad
