I hadn't noticed the graphic. I assumed you guys were using a programme. Fair point then. -

Really good that you've come back on this. My first time on BSN too so I didn't know it was your first time. So in that case I can cut you some slack! I think a lot of commentators feel the need to talk/chat constantly rather than think about what to say and then pitch in with words of wisdom. I'm sure nerves are probably the reason for most of that. So spare a few seconds to think about what you're saying and then you're likely to get most things right. I suppose I would compare with how Picko does it with Kelvin on Eurosport. But your regular comments about the lack of water were spot on - pity they didn't listen to you! But all in all I enjoyed the stream - keep it up. But for a first timer you did okay! -

I hope Paul Bowen is not a regular - really irritating. Lee Kilby and the girl were excellent. But the race commentators were talking constantly and not giving themselves a chance to think. So they spouted so much wrong stuff. (Interesting that 6 points ahead going into the last race meant Edinburgh had not secured the win!) Track desperately needed water from the beginning but didn't get it till there was a blue groove. -
Hands off my egg and cress sandwich. And it was crochet not knitting!!

Monarchs vs Lions May 13th
TheScotsman replied to gmuncie's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
And as Max Fricke said when interviewed on Saturday - the track was changing all night so he had to be able to read the change. Sounds like maybe other riders can't do that. -

King's Lynn v Ipswich. League Cup 25/4/22

Josh has managed to find the best way round Armadiddle for years now!! -
I doubt that announcing the team members at the beginning of January for a season that won't start till April could ever have had any appeal to non-speedway fans no matter how different or glitzy you made it or where you presented it. It's purely aimed at those with an interest in the team.

Seem to be a lot of anxious visitors peering at this thread in fear. Heaven knows what they'll be like after 7pm!!

Sums up a lot of this country.

Wheeeeeere's Richie?!! -
No sign of Erik signing yet?!!
-
I did hear that Erik was quite interested in a return to the blue & gold.
-
I think you'll be disappointed DG.
-
I'm not defending either side!
-
I'd heard similar about Richie though apparently he thought we wouldn't be able to fit him in under the points limit.

Yep - I've heard elsewhere it's 42 and no Shooting Stars. -
But everything's already decided and agreed. Just need to decide what they're having for lunch now.

But will enough tracks have enough charging stations?
