  1. And you're a fine example of somebody who loves to attend speedway meetings in person right? Shame you said the exact opposite three months ago....

  2. If i want to go to a meeting I go to the venue. What about those that are unable to attend a meeting for family or medical reasons? Nobody is asking you to spend any money on a "cheap and nasty production". I'm not aware that there are any available, anyway. You sound like a very bitter person who doesn't really like Speedway at all. But sensible people regard BSN as a superb service, which provides people with the opportunity to watch the sport they love.

  3. Thank goodness Howarth let Kemp win that one... or Kemp may have pulled up at the back 😁

  5. But as has been pointed out every time you mention it, other people have experienced exactly the same at other tracks. It's not just a Sheffield thing - every team has dick heads !!

  6. Ace rode brilliant on the night and has ben the last few weeks. To get his confidence back up to the level it is has been very much a work in progress type of situation. Its still on going but we are certainly getting there. Jody had passed Nagel in Heat 6 on the line and then been all over the back of Dan Thompson in heat 9. I did deliberate over the change in heat 12 but decided in my mind that Jody was very capable of beating Perry or Hodder and deserved another go at Thompson. I agree Ace deserved more rides but I didn't feel anyone warranted being taken out of a ride. Tate led heat 14 with Ace until a mistake out of bend 4 saw him nearly run into the back of Ace and ultimately cost him 3rd place when Hodder past him. If that hadn't happened Im pretty sure they would have gotten the 3-3 that looked on the cards. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and afterwards its easy to say I should have done this or should have done that, however its a big balancing act about juggling with riders confidence while getting what I feel is the best results for the team. Hope that answers your questions Gav

  7. Taking half a meeting to adapt to track conditions isnt acceptable at the business end of the season. Did the Glasgow riders mis-judge the track walk, did they ask for it to be ultra slick, did they even know what they were getting beforehand? Whatever it was it can't happen again, we have some hefty points deficits to claw back in our next two home meetings. Its all very well bringing in Andy Meredith to boost our GP or SGP2 chances next season but if it is affecting our core product its a no for me. Lets prep the track to suit our riders wherever possible, its brings the best out in them and allows the racers to shine.

  8. Harris is a great rider and servant to British speedway. I was there with 40,000 other when Bomber won the 2007 Cardiff GP. What a ride! He has been great and rarely injured. He was talking about retiring several years ago. Glad he didn’t. Needs a huge testimonial meeting when he does hang up his Kevlars.

  17. This is the most sat on the sofa with your arm elbow deep in a tube of Pringles clueless comment I have ever read on this forum. A rider should actively decide to crash on his own accord going 50mph minimum, and potentially causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to his equipment and injuring himself. Very good.

  18. There is a difference between being over the top on here and how one would act at a track in person, I suspect most who like to banter on here are actually pretty decent people at heart, and the ones who act badly at a track, are probably not even on here.

  22. Listening to Stead and also Picko make the meeting about the referee is funny, Leicester could do the same so it isn’t an excuse. Picko ran two 0s in heat 13 and 15 so need to look at that more than heat 14. Funny that when Rowe hit Howarth Ollie said all four back… there was only three left at that point šŸ˜‚ Also, a mention to Fricke, he rode brilliantly, and not just for himself but team riding was brilliant as well to not just run away and win races, even in 15 you could see how he tried to slow Holder down so Masters has time but Masters just wasn’t fast enough so Fricke chose to help instead of overtaking him and run off in the lead. I know it was still 4-2 but great effort from him.

  23. 1 of those was a 5-0. It was a great points scoring performance on the night and he more than did his job, but... I don't know if you were there but there was a lot of screaming under his helmet going on after his duffer races, at least twice he pulled up at the back failing to complete his final lap, still while under power, I can't help but think that these actions, maybe subconsciously, permeates through the team. He's probably had his best season in the sport, but let's face it he's 23 now and still at reserve. He's got the talent on a bike but needs to eradicate this from his game to progress

  25. I’m surprised Dickson puts up with this from Kemp. It’s quite possible that one of the other riders in the race could fall or stop with a mechanical issue after Kemp has pulled over, thus throwing a point away. This is particularly important in two legged matches where points margins are crucial.

  29. Silly how anyone thinks losing Lawson for Jeppesen isn't a disadvantage. Lawson especially the second half of the season has been different class for Poole and the top rider in the league. Regardless of a previous score at Glasgow (how often do away riders match successive scores at tracks), losing the leagues number 1 to be replaced by Berwicks third heatleader is a disadvantage. Would Lawson of scored more than 9 from 5? Almost certainly. Still a great effort from Jeppesen and will be in demand next season. Was hoping Glasgow went through to be honest, can't stand Poole these days with knobends like Shovlar spouting nonsense all the time. Only have to read the absolute crap he comes out with about football to know he is clueless. Clubs also need to seriously be punished for signing part time riders now as well. Nagel, Klindt and Knudsen in particular have all taken the absolute p""s this season and if the clubs know about these clashes before signing then they should be fined. Considering how little meetings there are these days , its a joke that riders are turning up for only 50 percent of meetings.

  30. Called it. Bin Cami Brown. Bin Kyle Howarth. Bin Max Perry. Actually, bin the whole top heavy team building approach. Bin these riders like Nagel who are taking the utter p**s out of the club. Well done Poole. That’s a champion’s performance. Listening to Brown is painful. Unlucky? Poole didn’t have Lawson and lost Kerr. Palm Toft tried? Honestly, be quiet. You gave it big licks to Neil Middleditch in the media and you’ve ended up with egg on your face. I hope Freddie Hodder or someone who knows him reads this because that young man gave it tonight and exceeded anything that was remotely expected of him. He looked scunnered there, but you should hang your head high, young man.

  32. I think the weather probably helped with the racing last night too. While meetings later in the season can mean wet and cold tracks it can also help get a bit more moisture in the base, the surface was pretty much perfect last night for most of the meeting with enough grip for those who wanted to use it. Wasn't slick and dusty and the racing reflected that. Really looking forward to the two legs of the final, hopefully both sides are at full strength amd the dreaded guests can be avoided.

  36. Przyjemski's average is false as has all the junior races. Too soon for him. Becker would be a nonsence!!!! Get Drabik in if anyone from the Ekstraliga with no GP experience. Cerniak is not good enough and found it tough since put into the main team.

  39. The championship league hold all the aces,they stand together and they can control the way things go,I would love to regularly watch grand prix riders at poole but that's not going to be possible in british speedway anymore,need a structure that works for british speedway and that won't include gp riders,if bv and ipswich got to have them, then just have to race against each other

  40. R87 is just a wind-up merchant looking for attention. Everything that he says is complete boll*cks and as someone quite rightly pointed out, he is a liar. The contradictions are laughable. Bizarre that he spends time on a forum about a sport that he continually derides and can’t be more negative about. Such odd behaviour.

  41. I liked Fricke's reaction to being excluded, take it on the chin and get on with the rest of the meeting. His team riding was great to see and Jack could learn a lot from him.

  45. That's weird. I'm sure I saw Sam Masters battling all the way to the line in Heat 1 and then re-overtake Lawson in Heat 15. Must be imagining that!

  46. Perhaps it is to help Sheffield For them to agree for it to be a reserved date for the semi surely they would have to have the stadium owners on board and that would likely be at a cost If the date isn't required to complete the semi final then that would be a wasted expense unless the league fixture fills the space Therefore this seems like sensible planning to me
