2018 rulebook is being altered on a weekly basis, this alteration would be of no surprise

Wow, a rule change that benefits teams financially to finish 2nd or 3rd rather than 1st. Can see it now, the team at the top throws meetings at home against their 2nd & 3rd placed rivals Would be hilarious if this is true

Home promotion DOES have a say on continuation or postponements of meetings. 5.3 The staging Promotion is responsible for the payment of SCB invoices, fines, insurance premiums, BSPA meeting fees and prize (points) money. Additionally, in the event that a Meeting is postponed (after 09:00 or other such time as mutually agreed) or abandoned, they must reimburse the travel expenses incurred by the visiting team for the re-staging. _________________________ 14.6. The main duties of the MEETING STEWARD (appointed by the SCB) are: a) consultation with the Staging Promoter, Meeting Coordinator and Meeting Referee on all matters relating to the staging of a Meeting and especially at any time when the staging or continuation of a Meeting is in doubt. _____________________ 14.9.2 During the Meeting (referee) shall: a) consult at any time during a Meeting (including before the commencement of the 1st heat), with the Clerk of Course, Team Managers and Team Captains, if there is a doubt whether the Meeting can commence or continue. (NB. Not applicable when a Meeting Steward is appointed). In the event a meeting is abandoned no further racing, practicing or use of the track is permitted. ___________________________ While the referee (meeting steward) is the only person able to abandon the meeting it is with the agreement of both parties and home promotion. At no point is the home promoters hands tied but I will say British Speedway isn't in a great place. Buster and Dale probably felt they between a rock and a hard place of what to do financially. Saying that, when the stadium was mostly empty at 10pm they should have called it off. Now they've been hit in the worst possible way with another injured rider and more likely more people to never return. Yes of course, everyone will and should give their best wishes to all injured rider's but there are far bigger consequences for the sport & King's Lynn for the future. If an ambulance can't arrive for 3hrs and the track paramedics have to leave the writing is on the wall for the meeting. I would like to say I hope lessons can be learned but it's the same old story at King's Lynn. I will say again, Buster and Dale would have felt like they were between a rock and a hard place, the club failed badly under 14.7.1 A PROMOTER j) take all necessary steps to safeguard, at all times, the interests and welfare of all riders, Officials and Spectators during a Meeting, being responsible to maintain good order throughout the Stadium and its environs and in the event of a serious disturbance to notify the SCB immediately of plans to avoid a repeat. Unfortunately, every season these things are repeated over and over again. N.B. with regards to me not giving best wishes, I have given these personally to all the rider's through other means.

There cannot be a single stars fans that can defend the club tonight. More fans lost. Buster has lost control of the club

With the way the management works it could be 7 no score rides for Andersen

You can't go around blaming freeloaders for the sports decline. You don't like money and that's fine but back then the sport could afford the freeloaders. The issues are the paying customers are disappearing. Surely you ain't putting the sports decline on the fans?? As a man who has and maybe still do, work within a club, what do you generally put the lack of fans down too???? The only answer is poor management from the BSPA. If you believe that not to be the case we wait with open ears. As a recent walk away fan (and I've had some pop's at money too in the past) some of the stuff he posted I can now understand as an outsider. It doesn't and shouldn't stop us from having an opinion as at the end of the day I still love Speedway. All I enjoy now though is the SGP's, World Cups and Ekstraliga. British Speedway just looks amateur, with no value for money for it's supporters.

It does but that was a generalisation rather than talking about riding for the Stars

The Stars press release sounds like Iversen's in but in those comments mentions nothing about his thoughts on Wednesday night. Seeing as the Danish league is priority it would be strange to include Iversen and not use him. Wouldn't be the first time that the Stars management plays the denial card come the morning of a meeting, even though the fans knew in advance.

See, another load of bull $#!+ from the club yet again Palm Toft is indeed missing as he rides for Danish club Hoisted. Also missing is Iversen as he's down to ride for his Danish club Esbjerg against Palm Toft's Hoisted. Anyone still trust what comes out the management's mouths?!? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2321830881176780&id=113869148639642

Maybe 2 lap match races from the tapes against the day's opposition? Seeing there's no money in it for the rider's they ain't really going to go full tilt at it anyway. It's pointless

Purpose - to add extra entertainment for the fans Realty - boring as hell

The majority of the Sky money went into Russell's pocket and put none of it back into the sport. If he had of done, Swindon wouldn't be in the $#!+ they are now, staring down the barrel of a gun.

The 6.5 ave Pole's have Ekstraliga experience, the best league in the World. 4 ave Dane's are likely to of had their own league and probably 2nd tier Sweden only.

That's a novelty thing when teams move up leagues. When you realise the aesthetics haven't changed people disappear again. Same with teams going down. King's Lynn had better crowds than now in the old Premier League. Every fan felt part of the club and included. Soon as the people that included the fans left the club, the place just feels so subdued and people have walked away. Ultimately, value for money is the most important. Some say the change of race night has been Belle Vue's problem. It may well just be the novelty of a shiny new stadium has worn off and people are not seeing any value in the sport.

As a walk away fan, who is the team isn't an issue. All standards of Speedway can be brilliant. The issues are the selfishness of promoters, inability to acknowledge and treat the fans correctly and value for money. For new fans, they also couldn't care less about the rider's, what they do care about is value for money to continue to come back. 15 minutes of racing over 2 hours, rubbish music, nonsensical waffle from the centre green and appalling stadium standards is all a massive turn off.

Klindt (Covatti) is reserve

It's another habit Lambert needs to break but that will come with time, his gating has improved no end but now has a habit of riding the curb rather than the fast line when in front.

Much of a muchness to be honest.

Quote the correct person, then things won't be missunderstood Edit: Just seen you recognise the error

Lambert dropped a hairy ball dangler there

Jeez, Hajek couldn't of been looking where he was going. Had loads of time to miss the bike

Polish TV love Drabik don't they

Yep, also a bit of luck for Drabik too, Lambert had him well beat

Jakobsen looking decent at the moment.

Why is that comment inappropriate??
