  1. Feel for you mate, unfortunately British speedway is getting worse by the day, no one seems to have any joined up thinking of how to organise things, same as the British final being on a Saturday when 6 championship teams already had fixtures in place

  2. I think I've just spotted a mistake in the Ipswich fixture list for next week. It says we're racing Belle Vue. Surely it must be Northampton or King's Lynn?

  5. I'm glad I grew up watching Gordon Kennett...a master of the white line and passed many opponents and created so many special memories! Sadly missed but his legacy lives on!

  9. Surprised to see Lawson is riding in Denmark on Wednesday so Chris Harris is going to guest for him especially as clive was banging on about no clashes with Poole fixtures. Tut tut clive more wrong information or was it just another lie.

  11. I'd agree with the "rising star" system being used in the Champ, but don't think Spencer would qualify due to his age. Don't agree that they shouldn't be dropped, it's a sport & a business. Plus that brings in other issues, Workington not being allowed to drop Etherington who wants to be let go or a rider who turns 16 mid-season (Will Cairns) not getting signed as no "RS" is allowed to be dropped, meaning he has to ride in the top 6! It's no surprise Spencer has been dropped as he wasn't scoring well & has been given plenty of matches. There's no guarantee Whalley will do any better as the jump from NL to Champ is massive, but can't blame Plymouth for trying something new.

  12. I agree with the bold part, however no place of work is a charity (unless it is an actual charity of course) and if you don't perform you're rightly moved on.

  13. I have always thought they should save a rain off programme for when it’s re arranged with an insert, at least it’s relevant to the team they are actually riding against

  14. And something that gets my back up is paying full price for a programme which is 2 weeks old with an insert. I realise that costs are involved but they should just charge enough to cover them.

  15. So you think a rider who is 26, Current Avg: 1.42. (Lowest in the League) Should be retained? How many seasons does he need to develop?. There is a paying public that Plymouth have to think of. Tom is obviously out of his depth in the Championship. It's not fair to him to score no points week after week, and it's not fair to the paying public. Sport can be hard, but being dropped is all part of it. imo he has been lucky to last this long; It's only due to the lack of riders that has kept him in the team.

  16. Do we all agree Jenkins should stay for Fredriksen once Battye is fit, he’s shown more in one meeting than Fredriksen has this ‘season’ so far

  17. Good luck to the lad.... Paid his dues... No point having a penal system if you cannot change...

  18. Like the NSS... There is a tipping point for the track..... On the slick side? (Just), with a dirt line outside, tremendous.. Too grippy, and all ride the berm and follow each other....

  19. Fair play to the Ipswich promotion, they now provide audio for the streaming service before the meeting and some of the interviews during the meeting to those at the track. And on the big screen of course.

  20. Ahhh, if ever a post reflected a nickname...Respectfully that's rubbish. The impact on his confidence finishing that far back in every heat can't be good for him and he's 26! It's not like he's a teenager who is upcoming, I'd argue 26 is far too old to be classified as a rising star anyway. Can't fault Tom's efforts and his professionalism but at this time he's clearly not ready for this level of racing. Hopefully a focus on NL for him will help him potentially secure a Championship place in the future. As for his replacement Ben Whalley, it's a brave shout bringing in an NDL 2 point rider straight into the Championship even with the amount of points he's scored. Anyone know much about him from his Edinburgh form? Either way got to be worth a try!! Good luck to him.

  21. If Poland want to race Thursday, they'll be racing Thursday regardless of Morris agreeing to it or not. Ultimately its down to who writes the biggest cheque, and whether we like it or not that will always be Poland and they'll always get preference over riders.

  22. Well he did get 15 for Glasgow at Poole the other week and scored more than Lawson. It was hot weather that week too, so track should be similar. Also I had money on Bagpuss saying that we should have a NL replacement! 😉 Ooooh, harsh FB!!

  27. So, in less than 48 hours, Buxton are staging a meeting. I've looked on their Facebook page and website, and have no idea who is riding. I do not find that very encouraging to bother going. Surely a few words of information would be helpful and informative.

  28. That pr*ck continues to be full of himself. I saw his quote where he said he was at the British GP and had plenty of support and people coming up to him saying they were looking forward to seeing him back. Jackanory, Jackanory...

  31. I agree, even though we won I thought it was the best race of the night, excellent team riding from both of them.

  32. There wasn't much racing to get excited about, but I must say that I thought Fricke's team ride with Jenkins was first class - Fricke filled every gap, while Jenkins rode solidly outside - a real throwback to the days of Olle Nygren and Tiger Louis.

  38. Well cooper did tonight to be fair to him after his win! And Brennan came round but only to practice his starts 😂 pretty sure king came round too. Not the same as Doyle going sideways on bend two stock cars concrete track and then the back straight on his rear wheel though!

  39. Good... but the lowest yet. I think Adams is too pally with the riders, doesn't seem to have a ruthless streak like his old man

  45. Yes to the above, but he is nowhere near the standard required to replace Cook, anyone with a knowledge of speedway will tell you that. You've replaced a number one with a 2nd/3rd heatleader at best
