  1. Doesn't matter if he's injured, taking a break or been dropped for poor form, he's not in a teams 1-7. There was no 28 day signing due to injury, both teams have replaced him. Lynn may want him back, doubt Glasgow would. Anyway, I reckon Nora racing to help him regain confidence / learn how to ride in close contact without shutting off, would be best for him.

  2. But that’s his problem for not performing not the sports. Can’t expect the governing body to feel sorry for him and give him an average reduction and big cuddle telling him everything will be okay.

  3. Kurtz missed the meeting after the GP he got injured in.He made his comeback Friday which is fine,now if he doesn't turn up for the Lynn meeting on Monday that is not fine.But he hasn't really done anything wrong yet.

  5. I must admit, when I started watching Polish Speedway, and saw the levels of racing and crowds, I thought exactly the same.. And then you watched a meeting from over here on a Monday, and quickly realised that sadly, the only comparison you could make is that both are called Speedway... It could actually even be deemed almost unfair to the UK Promoters to show Polish Speedway over here, given the expectations it could create... Great to watch every Friday and Sunday... Add in a GP on a Saturday and its truly a cracking weekend...

  6. No because Kvech crashed and tried to complete the meeting but couldn’t … tried to race today and clearly can’t ride properly Kurtz crashed … carried on … one a race and almost won the final….. pulled a sickie on the Thursday … only to ride Friday and get a maximum and then win the GP on Saturday Kurtz could have easily rode Thursday he just didn’t fancy it

  9. I do have an agenda and that agenda is British Speedway, if riders want to come from abroad and live here and build a career, great! They shouldn't then be picking and choosing the meetings they ride in at the expense of British Speedway. Speedway is on a knife edge in this country at the moment, we're not in the Peter Collins/Kenny Carter era when punters would turn up pretty much regardless of who was or wasn't riding, in fact you maybe able to point to the personal antics of riders through the years as one of the main diminishing factors in British Speedway and it continues to this day... and it should be stopped. I really couldn't care what riders do elsewhere, I follow British Speedway, I follow Leicester Lions and that is where I spend my money following this club home and away and I expect when I hand my £23 over at the turnstile to see the rider who I watched only 5 days earlier lift a 2nd place trophy in the SGP, completing all of his rides after his off. I don't expect him to be missing and then turning up abroad the very next night and reeling off a 12 point maximum and then only dropping 3 points at the very highest level the next night. I'm not going to rake up what happened last year, that's been done to death... but he did effectively receive an ultimatum from the SCB... who have been strangely quiet on most issues this year. If you finish your full rides in one meeting unless you sustain a non-Speedway related injury then you should be expected to be competing in your next scheduled meeting. It's a real shame that you should choose to sign off your comments with insults, I thought you were better than that, "a disgusting speedway fan and a disgraceful human being" and a troll wow! I actually felt a bit sorry for you when a section of Ippo fans were giving you abuse earlier in the year, I'm inclined to agree with them now. I hope you enjoy your world travels following Brady Kurtz when British Speedway has failed.

  10. Well the rain unfortunately came about 90 minutes before tapes up and at one time was pretty heavy. All the weather updates gave it to pass over by about 2-45 pm and so it proved.The rain actually helped the track condition and the forecasted timing will have been in Steve Lawsons thinking when he was carrying out his pre meeting track watering regimen. Must admit I was a bit surprised when we got dust around heat 7. It was great to see the Comets finally get their league campaign underway on what must be some kind of record late start date in recent seasons. It was a good solid performance from all the Comets which was encouraging. Special thanks should go to Jonatan Grahn who changed his flight to Poland in order to guest for us in the absence of Fraser, he pulled off a couple of eye catching wins in his tally of 8 points. It was rewarding to see Tate win his first race at the GT Tyres Arena in 2025 ! almost unbelievable when you consider the form he produced there in the early part of last season prior to him crashing at Belle Vue. Hope we see his full confidence return now and he can start thrilling us all again like he did last season, go Tate . Also really pleased for Jacob Hook who achieved his best score to date in British Speedway, he gave his best in every race and deserved his reward. With the possible exception of Lasse Fredriksen the Gladiators were very much a one man team yesterday. Nicolai Klindt was different class . I think that has to be the most dominant display with the possible exception of Dan Bewley in last seasons Ben Fund meeting that I have witnessed at the GT Tyres Arena. Not many riders have ridden turns 3 and 4 so wide with so much speed and control !. He was obviously enjoying himself on a track where he could display his supreme motorcycle skills in complete confidence. UTC!

  17. Rarely agree with Blobby but he is bang on this time. Why should Boughen be giving special treatment? From all accounts a pain in the arse in the pits coupled with a huge ego. Hes had a few knocks and now realises he isn't anywhere near as good as he thinks he is. Been many brits with far better attitudes down the years who have lost out due to averages and rules.

  19. And you think Poland don’t have issues with money? Yet they still come to Manchester which is a much more expensive trip than English people to travel to Poland. English people find money to go on holidays and football matches and even Manchester GP so if they really wanted to they could save and go. Enough* said.

  20. It mystifies me that fans on here can post endlessly in the name of British Speedway about Brady when he has done no wrong yet are happy for their local club to put on regular gate’n’go speedway that has a far greater negative impact on the sport and they say nothing.

  23. Wasn't a good performance from him last night to be fair to Fromafar. Probably passed more times last night than all other matches he's raced at Berwick combined. If he was his usual self then Berwick would have most probably lost.

  24. Well done to Bandits,well deserved and some very good racing.Simon Lambert summed the track up perfectly ( it’s a man’s track).IMO Danny just tried to race Drew into 3rd/4th bend and had to pull it back and just lost the back-end.Interesting Riss said the track was going to be graded,but they did not do it before re-run of race. Bandits got stuck in and deserved the win with some fearless riding.Entertaining meeting IMO. I admire Gavin Parr for his honesty during meetings,no excuses from him.

  31. You've long since stopped attending British Speedway because riders pick and choose their meetings so you'll barely miss it... maybe only on a couple of nights in September 👍🏻

  35. Im sure you'd be saying exactly the same if it was a Monarch. A bit of common sense should be applied to get him into NL racing if that's what he thinks is best for him. Would be a massive waste if he was lost to speedway. It's a training and development league after all.

  38. Hopefully Danny isn’t too badly hurt and takes his place in this meeting. He’s been riding consistently well this year so it’ll be a big shame if he’s sidelined. IF he misses the meeting, R/R should cover him ok with Brennan, Ellis and the reserves taking an extra ride.

  43. Totally agree. Signed for Comets before getting a chance at Tarnow. Would rather be No 8 there than getting good race practice in the UK. Believe he is missing next week too.

  44. This is a really interesting video. If you watch closely it really looks like he is rolling off the throttle on most entries to the corner and putting power on quickly afterwards to enter the corner and get the back end out which he has obvious speed with. Maybe its confidence, maybe not wanting to get involved but looks occasionally like he has a wrong approach to enter corners. If the latter, this can be coached out of him and as have I and many have pointed out, fabulous talent.
