  1. One of the problems being he rides foe several clubs here and abroad + guest bookings so that could mean losing a lot of potential earnings,like you say is there such at thing as a sensible speedway rider in that situation!!
  2. Nope using it for Claus,Bens average dropped,think team re declared with the Swede replacing Ben.
  3. My point is that it is too late for a lot of Promotions they have payed the price for trying to outdo each other rather than work together for the good of the sport.the money has ran out!! So Promoters are wanting out in a lot of cases.
  4. Its easy to say that when it's not your money going down the tubes.
  5. Would love to see a an Scottish Play off Final which I think is a distinct possibility.
  6. It's a sad situation that that Semi Final of a major competition can't be contested with their own teams(injuries apart).
  7. I agree regarding your summery of Speedway in UK.Realisation is finally dawning regarding the financial side of the sport.
  8. The problem with Doyle turning left early was that Nicki was virtually 3/4 way past him ,he was not in front of Nicki.
  9. Jonsson I think squeezed past and turned sharp left like you said.Lucky like you say
  10. Terrible decision Nicki did nothing wrong IMO.Doyle was passed by Nicki and then turned into him,he should have shut off.
  11. That is good point,as with the Gp's you see the same pattern on a lot of tracks too much track grading these days.Imo
  12. I think you could be wrong in saying never,I can't remember tactical substitutes in the 60's.Some one might be able to tell when they were first introduced I'm sure.
  13. Looks like it still a struggle for you.
  14. Most social media sites show that nowadays,not just speedway,you just have to take them with "pinch of salt" or ignore them IMO.
  15. Bit OTT regarding Josh these things happen in the sport certainly has no reason to ponder his future IMO .Speedy recovery to Kyle.
  16. it's all very well having fancy Stadiums,but let's face most of the tracks in these Stadiums are crap and don't let the riders show their skills to the full extent,there was no way you could race down the straight fairly last night,there was not enough room.Fans a paying a lot of money for a seat In a fancy stadium.
  17. Thought so ,has been Tarmac for along time.40years?
  18. Agree but these situations are not uncommon in Gp's.He looked fast though just got caught in wrong position in final re-run.
  19. they were both in winning positions when they messed up on there own don't think that qualifys for best riders on the night.They rode well though.Zager was a touch unlucky IMO
  20. They always seem to exclude the inside pass in these situations I agree with you on this one Kildemand goes down very easily.He is an entertainer rider though and is always good on slick tracke that suit his style.Tai took it well probably because of the situation on the night more than anything.
