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.

Olek patiently waited for his chance and now he's got it. If he performs well, he could stay in the squad for a while longer. "The results showed that a change was needed, and that's the decision we made," Dariusz Śledź said on Canal+ Sport. Brennan himself, who was in the pits supporting his team, was also asked for comment. "It's not a great situation for me. I can't say if it was the right decision. I understand the coach wants the best for the team. I just have to keep working and improve my form. I haven't been told if it's a decision for this match or for the rest of the season. I don't know if I'll be competing this season. I'll work twice as hard to earn my place in the squad," the Briton assured.

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

Sorry Stewmac is in Poland and is unable to give links today.

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

Stream is awful, alternative link?

Clubs are always telling us that one of the main reasons for early call offs is flying riders in. Now if all clubs had their own private jets……….I’ll get my coat😔

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.

Pictures usually upset you arfwit.

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

Does anyone know the situation with Cooper Rushen? I'm aware he missed Redcar with the hand injury. But with the chronic rider shortage we seem to be pushing our up and coming riders to extreme limits.

They need to stop using screws and use nut and bolts which will stop the gate hanging off the posts

Pit gate problems again

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 .

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!

That must be Joe's best meeting in ages

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

Good effort down in Plymouth

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...

Hopefully that’s the case,it wasn’t really necessary IMO.If you under the points limit,that’s all that matters.

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

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

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. 👍

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
