All I will add before going through that thread is all the fears have been laid to bed. Rider's and engine tuners have it nailed after a few years. No crashes or mechanical issues are related to the silencers at all. What we don't know is, are rider's still attacking these with drills? The reason I ask is that Eddie Kennett's form has picked up again

And during the Life of Tai programme as a kid he was wearing an England shirt Back to the topic. An absolutely sensational piece by Tai and Skysports. Excellent viewing

To be fair to Jack, he would call the rider's, helmet colours etc correct then get shot down by the expert Sudden Sam and his bloody CandySoft garbage only to realise he was right in the first place after reading the information that appeared on the televised screen. He just lost his train of thought as he had no idea what Sam was talking about. I've been around Speedway for years and he confuses me, let alone someone that doesn't have a scooby

If I was Chris I would't listen to you either

What do you need SCB for he'd only say it's a pathetic statement and he'd be 100% correct. They do it for their own pleasure and enjoyment and earn a good living doing what they love. The only bit they do for us supporters is maybe one of their show off wheelies. Then again, that may be an ego massage exercise. Apart from the odd autograph and chat during meetings there's not a lot else for the fans

I fully understood what you meant and my post wasn't meant to suggest that so apologise but I was just adding to why I think he was getting bashed. IMO it's down to the quality of the racing. When is good you don't really hear the commentators. Have you ever viewed a 'Nigel Pearson - Kelvin Tatum' thread? To be honest, it doesn't matter who does the comms they're gonna get battered by the anoraks. You did the Premier Sports comms?!?! on the Swedish Elitserien last season (I think) and some wasn't to pleasant towards that comms either. Some just can't get by in life unless there's something to complain about.

Crap at his job is harsh, he's very good when it comes to motorcycle racing and very new to modern speedway. It takes an age to understand our sport. I got use to Jack and I'm disappointed he's gone, not just laugh at him. IMO the biggest issue as to why Jack Burnacle has been getting ripped to shreds is the fact that the speedway itself has been absolutely garbage. After being told that the Swedish Elitserien knocks spots off the British Elite League, well I'm still waiting to see it because so far it's about the same.

No don't. I'd love to see chanting back at speedway but it needs to be modern. Listen to the Polish Speedway & football etc. Please not this 1-2-3-4 crap

Woffinden Harris King Cook Take the GB under-21's also Howarth Ellis Garrity Lambert Then at least they'll get to rip round on practice days (providing we get past King's Lynn). We need to start looking forward much earlier rather than keep going back to rider's that year on year go no further forward only backwards

Certainly looks like Watt ran himself out of room carrying to much speed into the bend. Smolinski not at fault at all

You're right, it is far fetched but I'm just stating we can not have referees throwing riders out for dangerous riding. It's a tough call to say whether there is intent or not. That call can only be judged by a panel imo

The card system is a great idea but- To do this every track has to have TV replays available at all tracks. We can't rely on referees making correct calls. At the meeting's referees can only issue yellow cards. If a rider receives 2 or more yellow cards then the video evidence is sent to an independent panel to review (a little like F1). If the panel deem the rider dangerous they're issued a red card and suspended for 3 matches. Clubs that have a suspended rider can only use a guest with a 20% lower average. 3 red cards in a season under 1 organisation i.e. SGP, SEC, British, Swedish, Polish league etc would result in a 6 month Worldwide suspension. Meeting referees can only issue red cards for violent conduct. I repeat though, this can only be achieved with full meeting recordings, not just some dude with a camcorder and an independent panel

We're constantly reminded how much better the Swedish Elitserien is compared to the British Elite League. The TV meetings have suggested otherwise so far this season.

People moan about the meetings on SkySports but bloody hell, this is dross so far. Will stick with it though just to annoy the wife

Mechanics will look like this soon http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i467/KLStars127/Mobile%20Uploads/8806_zps3vp44vte.jpeg

Think that's a bit harsh to put all the blame on Pedersen for that. He gets a bit shove from the inside which forced him high and wide leaving Emil nowhere to go. Unintentional incident

Great GP Pedersen acting the villain which he loves but acted a right pussy with his kick out and ride off. Zagar would of killed him Great GP series really hotting up Woffy with a stunning GP win, justifying his tag as World Champion

That is the correct answer. The death of dirty manufacturing, coal power stations, cleaner polluting vehicles, increased gas / oil / electric central heating over fossil fuel burning etc. This has made a tremendous difference over the last 10-15 years.

And it still is. I can't believe this is seen as an issue to be honest. At the end of the day, 4 blokes going into the bends at high speed and can't see the turn or each other and people really think that's ok?!?!?!? COOOOOOOOOOME OOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like it but I think 10 metre gaps may be to large. 10 metres is tough when a rider touches the tapes so would be extremely harsh on a rider who wasn't at fault for the restart, especially if they were right on the back wheel of the rider in front. 5 metre gaps may be better as it's enough of a start for the leading rider but also enough for the others to really get their teeth into chasing down those in front

All the passing in heat 14 was round the outside #JustSaying

Didn't see that coming from Andersson.

Vorsprung durch Technik

Absolutely, some good racing so far

It's an absolute myth that if all these guys turned up the crowds would increase. Certainly not substantially enough to cover the riders costs and be sustainable
