It has certainly lost its appeal to 50/50 committed folk,the rider situation is farcical, people are just not seeing it as Professional Sport these day and are not going to spend that amount of money to keep many riders in a good little earner. There is no easy solution,but there is not much urgency to do any thing about attendances not being able to match rider costs .Some of the “ middle of the road Teams” get by on supporter hand outs and muddle along but sooner or later that will run dry as there is not a lot of new fans being attracted. So sad for a great sport.(If your a fan).

Feel for Granty,he got sold a pup.Trouble is all your Posts on here won’t help the situation one bit as most of fans the forum are regular attenders.The sport is in trouble but the people running the sport seem to think everything is rosy ,fans donations are propping up majority of Clubs.Perhaps Granty maybe should have started in NDL and built up from there.Only my opinion.Certainly doesn’t sound good for Newcastle and Birmingham given the financial climate at this present moment.

Lawson disappoints and don’t think Crang will make any difference to the reserve position.

You will have to wait,Dick not taking any chances after having to sneakily remove last weeks information (lets blame COVID)

Got that wrong. Well done to Plymouth.Bowtell and Keleher making difference.

I was a big fan of Jason in his hey -days,but think it is a mistake to come back after so long away, things have moved on since then .Age is a b#gger,is it worth the risks involved in a sport when a lot of things that happen on track are not in your own hands.

Kings Lynn

How many Clubs pay for 12 months rent.That is the question.

Kings Lynn was his first British Club (I think) wonder if he still belongs to them.Sheffield and Redcar were his other clubs though so might belong to one of them now.

There is nothing left to dumb done now,just stop paying out more money than coming through the gate just to give riders a nice little earner.When Will they finally accept that fact,as Clubs go to the wall one by one.

Away win

Agree ,at the week-end a couple of GP boys done lay it down and try a get a re-run.Even the GP refs get it wrong.

Probably on a guarantee.

After the demolition of the mighty Bandits,Poole will be worried no doubt.

They will give Poole a run for their money IMO if Pickering and Thompson keep up their recent form,and Lawson gets some decent machinery.

That’s more realistic IMO.Except where is Richard Lawson

Think Ben is still at his unprofessional best.He is entertaining though.

How bad is Cook’s injury?

We done better than that we got 40

Unfortunately track alterations have failed to improve the racing IMO,whether different track prep would make a difference we have to leave that to the experts.Like I have said before the riders have a big say how they want it IMO.

Just the usual mess and contradictory rules.Take your pick and if your the right Promotion you will get away with it.You couldn’t make it up,only in Speedway..Interpretation of rule as usual.

They can’t use Thompson for Flint it has to be a rising star or R/R,that’s what the rule appears to say.Seemingly that’s why rising stars don’t have Greensheet average.

Just far too complicated.Should have just kept the rising stars at reserve or team position all season.IMO.

Unlucky on the injury front,best wishes for speedy recovery to Jye and Dany.We will never know what the outcome would have been without injuries,certainly fell in favour of Tigers when Dany was unable to carry on.Still seems to be a gating contest though despite all the effort put in by the riders.

I read it was 24 on its January or less than 3 years in professional league speedway.There was some excuse about Josh Bates.It’s just a farce IMO.I don’t know the rules but it certainly very confusing all round regarding averages ,seemingly a rising star that goes into the top5 ,still can only be replaced with a rising star and not a rider up to his average. That why they are not giving then an average on Green Sheets.Perhaps someone can clarify that this is the case.!
