Ouch

They'd already made adjustments in 2022 but I guess you didn't notice

They've had 1 season

What did they promise exactly?? Did they ever promise changes were for 2022/23 or is it progressive change over time? Not forgetting that the time they balloted for the SGP rights the world was very different & 2022 became the start of a financial global crisis. Tell me a company or business that has done what they promised in 2020 now in 2022. Some people are bloody deluded to what's going on.

What changes were people expecting Discovery to implement??

The issue with Cardiff is hotel costs. People can justify the tickets as it's a one-off each season. Factor in the hotels, you can get a weeks holiday for the same. Last years ticket price + hotel for 3 (2ad - 1ch) of us currently looking at around £325-400. Unbelievably expensive for effectively 30mins of actual racing.

Result irrelevant, appreciation to those rider's that hopped on plane's for an 'out of season', 'out of contract' meeting.

I know it's early & some get giddy, especially after (yet another) awful season, but the suggestions of Woffinden, Lindgren etc returning to British Speedway is just laughable

Finally the King's Lynn promotors antics are starting to sink in with some. 100% the fans don't matter to this club, what they can get out of us under any circumstances is all that they're interested in. King's Lynn are a dead club, no ambition to win anything, no ambition to deliver a product for their fans.

Enjoyed that as a neutral. Close score, controversial refereeing. That aside, Sheffield can truly feel harshly done by, for me, the much better side on the night & could of / should of won comfortably. Congratulations to Belle Vue, enjoy it

It's very different riding against the home team than for. S.Lambert will do well to get 4 with only 3 rides expected too

Losing 2 rider's & winning the home leg by 12 is not choking. If R/R & Simon Lambert pick up 10 points, it should be enough to see them through. If the above happens & Belle Vue still lose, 100%, choking can be firmly pointed at the team, BUT, even had Belle Vue had their full 7 I did't see them scoring 40 points anyway. Lambert - Zagar - Kurtz vs Holder - Musielak - Ellis very even to call around owlerton but the winners of the meeting for me will come from Sedgman & Mountain. These 2 will be the difference.

Lambert with Belle Vue. It's a lad trying to reach the top so would be good on the CV. Unfortunately, I think Belle Vue haven't got enough in the bag to get over the line.

The guest rule again seems ambiguous. If still fit (with my take of the rule) Tero Aarnio is the best guest option with a PL green sheet of 4.55. The rules only insist that the league average the rider guests in be used. If fit & available, surely Belle Vue would be on the phone? Next best option would be Kasper Andersen (if fit & available)

You're absolutely right, I do. Life is not kind to all of us

You can call me out lad. It was my opinion & I still genuinely believe, had he stuck around British Speedway, he would have become the next Chris Harris. The best thing Lambert did was get away from King's Lynn & British Speedway. I'm certainly not embarrassed by those thoughts, he was annoying the s#!+ out of me with his curb crawling in the first half of the GP series. 2nd half, went up another gear. Couldn't be happier for him. Now, he HAS to become consistent but becoming World No5 I'm more than pleased to also never make that comparison again. Amazing thing has just happened for social media - 'Man 43 changes his mind'. Call BBC, ITV, Sky news quick sharp chap

Sheffield are very very much in it. 12 points is absolutely nothing & Lambert, 100%, won't be going through the card in the 2nd leg

It probably did but it doesn’t have to. All dependant on the amount of time a rider has when changing bike

No it doesn’t. Can use bike 1's tyre or any of his own teammates match issued tyre plus bike 2's worn tyre

Even with Lambert, Belle Vue need to hit a 53-37 minimum. Anything less gives Sheffield something to chase hard. 17+ points will force Sheffield to ride a little more desperate

Any rider taking tips from Masters has no future

Wolves should drop down a league

Would everyone accept this? SGP top 6 qualify for next series. GP Challenge should consist of rider's NOT in the current series. Top 7 qualify for....... New - GP Qualifier; Mid October, after the SGP series is complete, the SGP bottom 9 face the GP Challenge top 7. Then the top 9 qualify for the following SGP Series. The SGP Qualifier must be contested at an SGP circuits over 2 race weekends. Is that more acceptable than 'Wildcards' ??

Different times, British Speedway was the pinnacle of the sport. 1 off finals etc. Tight difficult tracks today get you nowhere if you want to reach the top. Zmarzlik, now 3x world champ is an absolute speed merchant, no trick track learning to be where he is. Any thought process pre 2000s is irrelevant

Absolutely, Belle Vue is the place to be, unfortunately, every other club is 2nd rate. With Poland & GP's every modern rider's dream Belle Vue offers the best training opportunity. No British rider with any ambition should be looking at trick tracks & those that are FTG's.
