Midlo should be suspended by the BSPA for advocating Darcy's behaviour. It's not the 1st time and would also class that man a danger to British Speedway. He's a big drinker himself and clearly sees no problem as long as there's an excuse. BSPA, sort your members out

Matt Ford did say that but with the push to the Play-Offs he will not see that threat through. Correct

Sounds like that will be the line of his defence. The FIM will not listen to that as an excuse. Their response will be he shouldn't put himself in a position where alcohol is available prior to a competition. They will dish zero tolerance.

Fingers crossed the alcohol & drug testers follow Darcy around for the rest of the year in the UK. We know he likes a drink with Midlo. Must be the right thing to do know it's known he's willing to put his fellow competitors at risk and race. Now down to the BSPA

1 thing I miss greatly from our Premier League days is the pride and effort shown by the riders whereas now it a case of race, win, trundle back to pits, fook the fans

I am obviously 1 of very few but I thought that was an enjoyable meeting but all thoughts right now go to Matthew Wethers. Left me breathless. I actually couldn't believe it andmI'm sure others had fears of the outcome. And also a speedy recovery to young Aaron Fox too.

Got to say, not a fan of Darcy but his team riding skills are above any other rider out there in this modern era. Keeping an old art alive.

I think the comments are more based on the fact of Harris getting the Cardiff wildcard last year, then because he qualified for the GP's this year it went back to the British Final again. He does, for some strange reason seem to be a favourite with the BSI.

Riders don't carry enough speed in a straight line to worry about Aerodynamic Drag but yes, they are camera's. GoPro cameras and they're mainly used for personal reasons. Woffy has used his a couple of times on Yevvo which allows people to watch him practice live (if that interests some people). During the World Cup though, I do believe it was only Monster sponsored riders using them for promotional reasons

Rob Lyon was the best man for the job too. He also had a 5 year plan. The BSPA wasn't interested so he quit as their way didn't interest him. I can only see the same happening with Rosco under the current BSPA management dinosaur's.

Steady will have his special AshTech underneath him so I'm not too worried about him. Good gater & I believe a very good rider. Woffy will will be Woffy. I'm more concerned about the standards of King & Harris. Harris especially who on big tracks in the GP's has looked like a snail. Let's hope that riding for our Nation gives them something extra. A medal is up for grabs and we're good enough to take it but everyone has to be on it. No passengers.

You can tell

Hancock isn't boring. He's just a very good gater, an accomplished racer and a clean overtaker. I use to think he was a little boring but this season I've watched him a little cloder and he certainly is not. What he is, is the ultimate polished professional, with all the vast years experience he's very calculated. And to think that a lot of us people's thought he should have retired at the end of last season. I genuinely think he's aiming to race to his 50th birthday. I'm convinced I have to say I'm confused regarding comments about the exclusion of Nilsson. ___________________________________________________________________________________ I remember a Sky meeting between Peterborough and King's Lynn. Pedersen (identical to last night) rode Bjerre up the fence and every man and his dog said Pedersen should have been excluded (apart from Peterborough fans obviously ). Racer's are racers. And during a race nobody should have to shut off. Nilsson knew where Krcmar was, came from an inside line and drove right across the front of him. Time and time again we here fans scream a rider shouldn't need to fall to call an exclusion yet we get one and now everyone is up in arms. It was a blatant obstruction from Nilsson and I applaud Jim Lawrence for making the call. I would have done the same as a referee

It seems BSI are struggling to shift tickets for the race off yet again. This time offering all Bydgoszcz season ticket holders free admission This is why the host nation should be in the race-off and not direct to the final. Then 2 from the race-off in the final

I think you'll be wrong but for sure hope you're right and GB have a night of their lives. Who's in and out of the opposition teams is neither here nor there. Fingers crossed Gollob is in for Poland too as they have a better 4 without him. Would be awesome if we can hit the podium. Being in the final was great but a podium would tip me over the edge

Right call as I said on the Danish SWC team thread

With you there. Considering Andersen was on his home Swedish track he wasn't awfully quick, often holding people up. Mads and Kildermand had more pace and would be more suited to Bydgoszcz as a throttle ringing race track.

Ok, your opinion is wrong, that's my opinion but other opinions welcome

That really was a meeting that should be shouted from the roof tops but right now I couldn't give a s#!¥te. All thoughts are with Andre

Hope Compton is ok, that is the worst thing the ever watch. Pleased Sky didn't replay that

So love to see Sheffield in the EL. Love this track

Virtually empty? I thought it looks quite a healthy crowd. Sheffield's back straight is closed to spectators by the way for health and safety of I remember correctly.

Since when has Alan Pardew been riding speedway?

The loss of Huggy was huge. Buster is an excellent track curator with pre-meeting preparation, i.e. blading, laying etc but Huggys use of the tractor was amazing. He created racing lines with a slick inside gradually getting deeper the closer to the fence you got. We don't see that anymore with the dirt consistent inside to out. The most evident to that has been the lack of riders being able to gain ground with an outside blasts. That certainly has been the case since our return to the Elite League.
