Ignore v . 19th may is Cancelled . Couldn’t field a full word of letters, a new date will be announced by the British verb and punctuation mark association (BVPA) as soon as possible, fans are advised not to travel to this but to check their dictionary’s for clarification

Like Speedway when the racing is good it can be brilliant, when it's bad not so much. There are a few DTRA meetings each year and worth a visit if you are in travelling distance. Entry for spectators is usually free and there are a lot of races from little kids through old blokes on vintage bikes to the Pro class who are seriously fast. Dirt Track Riders Asscoation the home of Dirt Track racing in the UK

Already…

Maybe if the baby offset engines weren't so bloody fickle and everyone rode an engine that was more flexible, for want of a better term, less meetings would be called off as the bikes would be able to cope in conditions that varied a bit

This is where we are at nowadays in the UK unfortunately. Riders just aren't interested in a wet track here when they can earn many multiples in Poland the next weekend. There is a 70-80% chance of showers all afternoon tomorrow and while they may miss Lynn clubs would rather not risk what we had at the Foxhole last Thursday I guess. The days of boilersuits and sawdust are long, long gone.

Agree,I travel 65mls to a home meet so I am reluctant to travel if there is any doubt.

How is that a threat, just a picture

@admin threats

I know the forecast isn't good. However from an entertainment point of view we know Bangs is missing and is Cooper still injured. Anyone else missing flights or had better offers? Apologies but the cynic in me is shining through!

He's in an NDL 1-7, I assume that entitles him to guest?

This kind of thing explains why supporters sadly are less likely to travel to away meetings.

This is one of the reasons the sport is on its a#se, slightest risk of bad weather and the club will call it off early, wasnt a problem back in the day, mind you back then the riders didn't have the power they have now regarding the track being a bit iffy and them not fancy riding on it.

Just bored with insulting bullying idiots on here.

Ok Mr Irony 💦 might have 2 accounts like a saddo 💦

@admin threatening fellow forum users, I’m scared to come on here now 😬

I agree they will and that’s fine, do whatever people want to do and can afford but it’s not for me, my Mrs and the lad are going but I’ll just watch it on tv,(paid the full price but are going to car share with a couple of friends so halves the price) I want more for my money on a GP and belle vue doesn’t deliver that imo

The Mrs has spent a good few hours ringing the number and guess what ?

He looked really quick and sharp out of the gate.

From Fraser Bowes 𝙐𝙋𝘿𝘼𝙏𝙀 Hi everyone, I thought I’d jump on and explain why I haven’t been at the last two matches this week. On Tuesday, while fitting a new engine, I was struck directly in the eye by an exhaust spring under load. I was taken to the eye emergency department at Bournemouth Hospital, where I was diagnosed with a deep traumatic corneal abrasion. The injury has left me with a bloodshot eye that is light sensitive and has been causing headaches. At the moment, all I can really do is rest, but there are improvements each day. I’m aiming to be back for Wednesday’s match against Oxford, and I can’t thank Ian and Nicola Bell enough for all their help and support during this situation.

One of the most interesting things at the moment is to watch the progress of Cairns and Rushen…both big futures ..I’ve seen a lot of them both at Premiership level this year and I’d put Rushen way ahead at the moment and when his gating gets more consistent , and it will, I’d say he has a far bigger future…Cairns has struggled really but seems to have put in 2 really good meetings since his last Belle Vue meeting so it will be interesting to see how he goes…it’s good for each other to be team mates I think to spur each other on

Agree,the last couple of seasons he has gone backwards quite noticeably.

If michellsen and lambert decide to come to the party Toruń could be in with a shout

Stream is awful, alternative link?

If you think that the Polish League is boring and the title should have been given to Lublin, then confront this with what happen today at Leszno. What this still boring to you. If the answer is yes, then you should limit yourself to watching speedway only to your own domestic scene.

He just seems to be going through the motions. No idea why they swapped him with Holder unless it was finances?

The old pit gate dodge gold standard for call off's lol

Will lose the fans they have got with this behaviour

what a farce

Pictures usually upset you arfwit.

Plastic and the sun don’t work together

He was going to be riding tomorrow, his injury wasn’t that bad

Being a stars fan, I'm getting used to early dodgy call offs..... Ipswich have announced teams and have Simon Lambert in place of bangs, so nothing to worry about there..... Can only assume in coming team change soon ?

Pit gate problems again

Has there been any word on Wright's recovery, is he nearing a come back?

As Scunthorpe is currently sitting 2.21 under the points limit, I suspect the idea is a non starter. Imagine being able to replace, say, Nathan Ablitt with Nick Morris, Lewis Kerr or Kye Thomson. On the Simon Lambert thread, there was mention of home and away averages. They used that system in the early 2000s. I liked it. It seemed a lot fairer than the likes of Scott Smith being magically absent from his upcoming trip to sunny Armadale, whilst being replaced by someone who could actually score a few. Paul Pickering for James Grieves at sunny Owlerton was another shining example. Another way to be fair could maybe be to use the missing rider's average at the track concerned e.g. say Justin Sedgmen is injured and Monarchs are going to, I dunno, let's say Glasgow. I don't have the stats at hand but, just using memory alone, it doesn't seem like he scores 'big' there? Let's say his Ashfield average is 6.85. That would be the level of guest cover available, not his rolling average of 7.52. Similarly, if there was a track he excelled at, the guest couldn't even be higher than Sedgy's green sheet figure. Either way, it's far too early on a Sunday morning to very drowning in numbers. I'm going back to bed!

I think that sort of logic certainly has merit however like everything I’d imagine it would be open to abuse. You might find underperforming riders being “injured” more frequently.

This conversation shows the issue of guests not being decided by averages, you think Foord & Lambert are similar, I think Lambert is clearly better. If it's not worked out by averages, who decides who can & can't guest? Interesting comment about Lambert's home form, I wouldn't be against using away averages to decide who can guest away from home. In an ideal world teams should sign replacements (even temporary) rather than use guests. Currently the rules don't really encourage that at all, that's one of the reasons why I don't mind teams being weaker with guests.

Not without a blade there won't 😂

Yes it was,the scunny lads got stuck in and it looked dodgy for us for a while but Scott Nicholls is class around plymouth and joe Thompson is back to something like his best

5 qualifiers for the Challenge from Lamothe-Landerron are Michelsen 15 Bellego 13 Ellis 12 Huckenbeck 12 Mads Hansen 11

Pavements not even wet thats how light the rain is. No meeting as yet next Saturday on fixture list maybe that will change.

Lodz v Krosno tomorrow POSTPONED

I am waiting for him to get confused when he is quoting and answering himself, and answer himself using the same name ... No point getting bothered by anyone on an internet forum...

I’d ignore this topic if I were you

Each to their own, I'm not complaining about it but it was just getting a little too much for me, hopefully now sorted for me.

Kubera is dreadful so far and madsen is performing way below expectations

In a trap

Where’s that Trackrat ?

That’s my point really, it’s not so much the price, it’s what am I getting for that price ? Cardiff was a great day out as you say and imo should of moved to a new venue a few years before its demise, the GP for me should be something different, an experience, I’ve booked Poland again this year and if I’m honest I get more of a buzz from the experience of the league matches before and after the GP but even on GP day the towns are buzzing, belle vue is literally just a meeting and that’s it and as much as the racing is great I can get that experience on a league match there for a third of the price, I hope it’s a success again and hopefully a sell out but it’s just not for me I want something different
