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.

Well didn't they get Northampton off the ground 😜 oh silly me that was lemon and co

Jeppesen wouldnt be a bad fit

I would have thought bottom of the barrel, rather than crumbs ... Or was he the addition to the Witches armoury that finally tipped Bluster's decision to call it off?

Excellent win for leszno, Lublin could point to losing lindgren but I think they should be looking at vaculik, not even on the pace in last couple of rides

Unbelievable

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

So you have sympathy for injuries in the UK…how strange.

6/7 or 8 or tac sub if 6 down. lindgren could have shoulder injury as well.

Forecast is not too bad maybe a few spots of rain around 7 p.m .

Don’t blame you really

Cable ties ... They come in several sizes too.. And won't rust.

He can’t take a joke 🤣

Seems that way.

You expect them to be there on a weekend, website says the times : 0161 669 4554 Accessible seating ticket purchasing Accessible parking Phone Line Opening times: Monday: 10:30am - 1pm Thursday: 10:30am - 1pm Friday: 10:30am - 1pm

Klindt is a prime example of inconsistency, 18 at Poole, 5 at Redcar. Zach is always up and down during the season but come the play offs he gives everything and is very reliable .

We both know one fan!!😂😂

For us all to keep our noses out of it all

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.

That must be Joe's best meeting in ages

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

Something I always see in zmarzlik is his body language and he is like a kid who has won his first ever race, once he crossed that finish line he was bouncing on his footrests (which are gold incase you didn’t notice ) you can see the buzz he gets from winning, you would think he would be used to it by now but clearly every race is the same buzz as his first

Lodz v Krosno tomorrow POSTPONED

I think the guy is a bit of a nutcase, anyone who feels the need to reply to his own posts by using a different forum name must have "a screw loose" in my opinion

This will stop the little pest

Heard there’s a rat on here

I think there is definitely a market for streaming at the right price... One of Speedways weaknesses also can be it's strength... Due to the team model it uses, you don't have the same tribalism that other team sports can engender, however the sport does have a large proportion of followers that generically follow the sport, and very closely.. Meaning any meeting, regardless of the two teams involved, will attract their attention.. I watch Swedish and Polish meetings on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, but won't lay out £14 or so for a UK stream.. Make it £7-£10 and I probably would, at least once a week... In the Speedway Star, Gerry Facenna mentions how surprised he was by how many fans from overseas have purchased their streams.. It could be a big market if the price point is set well, and clubs don't just think that the fans of both teams are their target market, (or might not attend and buy the stream instead).. Glasgow say they only streamed due to crowd increases in the stadium, and, once again, are using their own fans to help drive bigger crowds with free tickets.. That's the key... If a promoter thinks "I won't stream as my fans will stay at home and watch", then they either are not promoting well enough, not providing enough entertainment, or the competitions they run are not engaging enough people... Do their day job properly, and streaming should be the icing on the cake..

I'd disagree, it gets very tight and there is a lot of pushing and shoving at times. 12 riders go into the first corner and sometimes the fastest are starting from 20 yards behind the front guys and have to get through any way they can. It's different to Speedway and brakes are used but that doesn't make it gentle any more than MX is (and yes I've done a fair bit of both and had a go at Speedway even if I wasn't very good)

The entire speedway community is following the latest news regarding Patryk Budniak's health. As we've learned, the Gniezno rider has already undergone another surgery. This time, it involved his lower limbs. Importantly, the surgery went according to plan, and the patient's condition is slowly stabilising. Today (Wednesday) mark three days since the horrific accident in Gniezno. The young rider was airlifted to a hospital in Poznań. There, he underwent complex spinal surgery the very first night. The first, somewhat more optimistic news began to emerge on Tuesday. A series of further tests revealed no further injuries beyond those previously diagnosed, which involved the spine, pelvis, and legs. "The patient's lower limb surgery has been completed. It lasted three hours. Doctors say it went according to plan, with no complications. This is good news. The patient's condition is slowly stabilising, but he is still in the intensive care unit and placed in a medically induced coma. The timing of his awakening will be determined by doctors, who are constantly monitoring his condition," Zuzanna Pankros, spokesperson for the Poznań hospital, told po-bandzie.com.pl

This is Poole's token gesture to youth development, as said above if some pilots riders were not in the event the home fans will not turn out, be interesting to see what level the crowd is 🤔

Erm...there fact that there are kids at these meetings that see riders as role models? Hardly setting a great example. Throw the book at both of them instead of trying to glorify this sickening behaviour

Got my tickets for the South stand as prefer to be on the straight and won't pay the grandstand prices. However, I thought the East stand prices weren't bad. You can't get most Premier League tickets for these prices. Next week is the Cheltenham Festival (4 days). A comparable ticket to the South stand is £90 per day and over £100 on the Friday. Their hotel prices are way over £300 per night. They get an average of about 50,000 a day. Yes, it's different! We all love speedway and to see the best in the world take each other on at the NSS is worth it to me for 2 nights. It's expensive, but in line. Wroclaw is brilliant also, signs are all around the town and it's great, but it's great cos they have a great track also. Lots love Prague (not been to the SGP) and I like the city, but the track is in general average (not always). I go for good racing and need to go to Torun which if prepped right is also excellent. I suppose we can all put a value on any trip, but one things for sure like everything in the UK. Prices will only go up. Most of us have a bit of disposable income and we all have decisions to make on how we spend it. 👍
