Personally, the host nation should be At the race-off. Almost everyone agrees with that? Maybe, as with at Belle Vue this year ticket prices should be for both race-off and final regardless. That way the venue doesn't lose out financially

:rofl:

So, let's get down to this subject of time & entertainment Lets say (which is actually in the rules) matches stuck to the 5 minute rule per heat from the 2mins to the next 2mins. That is a 75 minute meeting, add in the 15 minute interval 90 minute meeting total What entertains you so much between heats that things should be 'dragged' out for a further 30-45 minutes? Surely it should be about keeping the fans engaged on the main product? Speedway is suffering from poor presentation Poor stadium quality Badly prepared racetracks Crap music Crap presenters Imbalanced race format With the above it's no surprise race fans just want to get in & out these days. Even hardcore fans (me) are struggling to find Speedway today 'Value For Money'. I too are one of those fans that now just heats 1-15 done asap as the whole atmosphere of the sport is pretty dreary.

To lead by 8 in the first 4 heats, then lose by 14 is shocking. Should have picked up a point the absolute minimum.

Perfectly legal

What I'd do is strip the sport back to basics: Exclude all GP / SEC riders with the exception of Brits Exclude all riders wishing to qualify for the GP / SEC Fixed minimum averages for foreigners of 4.5 Tactical Substitutes only (no double bubble) Friday / Saturday / Sunday race days Admissions prices set to £12 Fixed rates of pay according to position in the team (Example) No1-3-5's £200 per point No2-4's £100 pp No6-7's £50 pp Scrap the asset system

That begs the question then, why have we replaced Mads for him? (although I though it was the right move at the time) 2016 figures (Home Away, Combined) show: Mads - 5.88 H - 6.95 A = 6.04 C Rory - 4.27 H - 2.22 A = 3.50 C

Love em'. Apart from Dave Lanning during the Screen Sports days none come close to Nigel & Kelv. NONE.

Away win, 42-48

The original PR man (Marc Gent) use to get a s#!+ load of sick for lack of everything. So much so he left. It transpired that he wasn't the problem and wanted do various things. It is Buster that doesn't believe in these things and believes people turning up for the racing alone is what sells. It's Buster that is out of touch & after originally being positive about him becoming BSPA chairman I have concerns. I won't criticise him in that position just yet as he's asked to be judged for 2017. But for what's happened / happening at King's Lynn right now, especially not taking any responsibility for the shambles against Swindon I believe he's turning into a bit of a joke. Firmly stuck in the past.

Not necessarily, could be 33-33 at heat 11 then 4 5-1's

We're automatically in the Semi-Finals. We should make the Race-Off but getting to the Final will be a tough job.

100% massively agree

Expenses are covered by the BSPA and as far as I'm aware, the BSPA do receive payments for SWC representation & fee's for UK GP's. This is also why the British Final highest positioned none GP rider gets the Wildcard too

Peter Karlsson had Woffy doing it at the Cardiff GP. Cameras were watching them for a few seconds

Yes

Utter nonsense

OMG, Tai riding in the EL does nothing in passing off his knowledge. Who do you think would benefit in the current Wolves team say if he rode for them? How would Tai riding for Wolves benefit the Worrall brothers, Kerr, Lambert, Bates, Ellis etc etc? Tai has put a plan together to deliver and share his knowledge but needs backing from the BSPA. THEY'VE NOT SHOWN ANY INTEREST. Where do you think the problems lie in youth progression?

The worst example of this I can remember was (I think) when they had airfences on the straights in the GP's & Lukas Dryml got hooked up & just stopped from full speed

Calm ya skin Mr Angry Last night's meeting was garbage and everyone was within their right to express that opinion. Tonight was stunning. No reason to come on here all fired up looking for a fight hey. Find the nearest freezer & put ya had in it to cool down. Tonight and the next few days are about celebrating Great Britain's wonderful wonderful, fully unexpected achievement

Super super proud tonight of our British boys

Please please please stop the Woffinden bashing Those that say he gives nothing to British Speedway are deluded and that was 100% answered tonight. It's the BSPA that ain't interested clearly in Britain's future. If any pressure is required, it's on them

Woffinden dropped a point so far, the t**t should sacked. We should be looking to the others in the team that look terrific at the back

Huh
