  1. Yes he looks a good signing and on this form we should keep Kyle in my opinion.

  2. I watched the stream as a neutral and it looked a 50/50 to me. No malice whatsoever by either rider

  3. I’m not sure why riders don’t get their own cover anyway, I took mine out in 1994 with the CICA and still have it today because it covers you for pretty much everything except war but even with personal cover it does not let speedway off the hook to provide cover too, I see the bspl are saying the ACU covers it now, what about foreign riders who don’t ride under the ACU ?

  5. Good meeting great crowd wrong result for me but the best team on the night was Poole so no complaints from me.

  6. In the good old days when we had a functional sport with competitors. For how many years did we have the old fashioned tactical rule of using any rider when 6 points behind. I always thought it worked quite well to be honest?

  7. In Zachs defence, he wasn’t going to do championship and only did it after a bit of extra persuading after the Anders situation. Maybe the promise that they’d be much more lenient in allowing him to miss meetings, as the championship this season, is rightfully the bottom of his priorities

  11. Paul and Scott run a speedway academy (of sorts) and have done for a couple of years now, he did say he was team manager of grass track team so a bit of knowledge, he will obviously not be up to Ritchie standard quite yet, but then Ritchie was a cut above most managers regards rules etc. I know a lot of you will laugh at that but trust me some of the TM's haven't a clue regards the rules and you'd probably be surprised who the worst ones are.

  15. I'd definitely get rid of tactical subs for home teams.....if you are 6 behind at home then tough luck.

  16. Basically yet another balls up by the BSPL, what a useless bunch of clowns they are, but hey never mind we have a new Track and Team so everything is on the up, or so they believe.

  17. Yea maybe not a spectator thing, but the flat track organiser rents the stadium for ££s but organises everything else, the running and insurance etc, so it must be a good money earner for the home promotion

  18. Put same rain down when I was on the night shift 20 miles south of the track, wet again when I’ve got up so right decision. Can’t imagine the track would have been in any condition to race.

  21. This needs some clarification by the BSPL and SCB urgently, as opposed to the usual "ignore it and it'll go away" policy. If riders are riding without proper insurance, then its a massive red flag for both promoters and riders

  22. This is a big failing of club streamers. Home fans go to the track to watch live while time and cost means away fans buy the stream. And add in neutrals who just tune in for a good meeting. Which means a high proportion of the viewers don't want to hear endless moans about the exclusion of the rider in red or why the rider in white was 'lucky' to win the race.

  23. So the rules change mid-competion... that really makes no sense at all... only in Speedway!

  24. I usually get there around 5.45 ( gates open 6.30) and there are usually plenty of spaces. The car park is used during the day for public parking including hospital day workers. If an overflow is needed the school next door is made available. The stadium charge £3.50 cash on entry on speedway nights. Enjoy.

  34. You don’t have to wait until Monday night, there are fixtures from last season everyone can watch for free right now, which will be the same system and allow you to try things out. As has been communicated there are various options, and also this webpage https://guide.britishspeedwaynetwork.co.uk which gives a step by step guide of the other ways to connect. If you still have problems email the BSN support, but best to check now. The new website allows a lot of new features including live pause and rewind, and will cope with future advances as well.

  36. For those who wish to, here is a link to the match between Rzeszow and Lodz, a Lodz team that now includes Dan Thompson. Racing starts in about 15 mins. https://vksport.vkvideo.ru/video-234681448_456239086

  40. Clarification of a sort. Again though, poorly communicated and a statement that feels like it was rushed through

  41. I thought it was after the 2006 final where Peterborough used four tactical rides across the two legs? For me it's spot on, you can't have one team using tac subs and one not in a knockout tie.

  42. Twenty 20 cricket rules change during an innings ( power play, fielding restrictions) Rugby Union rules change , depending on where you are on a pitch ( avoiding a tackle, 50 / 22's for example), or depending on which players are on the pitch ( uncontested scrums) Curling allows players to deliberately not score on an end ( blanking the end) People accept it, as long as it is in the rules. Have the KO Cup rules changed since the competition started this season, or are they in accordance with the published rules? I don't know because I haven't looked

  43. But aren't the riders classed as self employed these days ? If so , it will be probably the riders responsibility to get insurance, the clubs don't directly employ the riders as their are no assets anymore, A bit like if you get a job done on your house, you don't get insurance for the person doing the job, you hope they have their own insurance to cover any possible issues

  46. This is not good. Taken from Speedway Plus on X: Very interesting comments from Ben Barker on Pirates TV this evening: "..with the riders now being told we've got no rider insurance by the BSPL, so we're not actually insured, to a certain extent, ...the rider insurance needs to be addressed immediately" Ben has also posted on social media himself tonight reiterating this and saying he will most probably get fined for revealing this but it needs to be said.

  47. R/R Also there are plenty of residential side roads off Wimborne Road to park down.

  48. Assuming it’s back to 7:30 start. 6pm I’m sure you’d get a space, and worst case scenario you’d be directed into the school car park, I usually get there closer to 7 and have never not been able to park in the main car park or school.
