That's some gamble on this years evidence. Exstraliga, Lambert 9th - Doyle 16th in the averages. SGP's, Lambert 5th - Doyle 10th.

Robert Lambert rocks up & makes him look very average, smoke that brudda's

Wolves v Sheffield PO Semi Final 3rd October 2022
Daniel Smith replied to Beowulf's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Hopefully that's Monmore not in the final -
Belle Vue v Ipswich Play off semi 2nd leg 3 Oct
Daniel Smith replied to Rob B's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I don't give 2 s#!+s about British Speedway as a competition any more, at least there could be a challenger so Doyle's not going through the card unchallenged tonight. I just hope Sheffield make the final, will be better meetings than Monmore. -
Speedway as a whole, across the UK, has no future. While I understand the anger towards GI, Osborne etc, absolutely massive, huuuuuge responsibility is on the BSP(A)L for their total lack of awareness, laziness, & self serving, in not pushing this sport in the right direction at the turn of the century. No sport can survive when it's reliant on others

The comment does say 5 of 7. Most likely these are the 2 that will be out. Replacements will be a struggle to find.

100%, I'd argue British Speedway stagnated Robert Lambert when he was here. It wasn't until he went to Sweden & 2nd tier in Poland he kicked on again. Now with Torun & GP's he's gone on again. Hopefully the progress will continue. I'd argue the same with Dan Bewley. He was going stale & really struggled in Poland, until Woffinden stepped in & gave him equipment. Both Lambert & Bewley have really really gone on to establish themselves as 'World Class' & they absolutely owe British Speedway nothing. For any rider that wants to reach the top of the game, they have to leave this island & head to the greater Europe

Stars v Wolves 22nd Sept
Daniel Smith replied to kelvinht's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Clearly protecting themselves for a more important Play-Offs. Can't blame them as they're the underdogs, they need a fully fit 7 to stand a chance. -
British speedway is a joke.
Daniel Smith replied to chrismorton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Think even the Play-Offs have taken a dive in recent years. The semi-finals no longer are rammed full, same with finals. The issue is, they're exactly the same as a regular meeting. There's no fanfare at all & except an extra £5 on the gate. Punters are turning away from the Play-Offs too in favour of watching on TV -
I find it odd some fans think the Stars are competing for the Play-Offs
-
That's not really the case is it. Wroclaw is home from home for Bewley That's probably why I respect Lambert's 3rd a higher achievement to be honest. Saying that, it really is nice seeing a changing of the guard in front of our eyes, watching the youngsters pushing Woffinden behind them & giving themselves a good showing against the world's best. Unfortunately, I just don't see any true English quality following these 2 to challenge in the next 5/10yrs. We as English, must saver these 2 while they're here

I don't necessarily think the commentators need updating. I think what's needed is this need to lie when it's a crap meeting. No other sport does it. Football, Cricket, Rugby etc, if it's a bad game it gets called a bad game. If someone's playing awful, they get called awful. The constant positivity has a negative effect. Take Cardiff yesterday for instance, it was a horrible watch, yet the commentary was bigging it up. If you're new to the sport & they're seeing the commentary bigging it up, why are these people going to give the sport a chance? They'd think "if this is good racing, I'd hate to see bad racing." JUST STOP THE LIES, WE DO HAVE EYES
-
Cardiff should be taken off the calendar. Crowds dwindle year on year, racing awful. SGPGB should be at Belle Vue, end of

Bet365 used to be the best one, not sure now though

Want to revise my Ipswich prediction. You're not winning the league, totally forgot you'z lot have Batchelor in the team
-
If Ipswich keep the rider's all fit, the league is done. Nobody's getting close to this team. Previously, I thought Belle Vue & Sheffield were the only choice, but the make-up of this Ipswich side now looks like it can get wins at these away tracks, also having a much bigger home advantage to witht rhe added strength. Still hurts alot seeing you'z lot doing well though

Kings Lynn vs Ipswich August 4th
Daniel Smith replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I just fear Andersen is Kerr's replacement. Going Iversen > Klindt & Kerr > Andersen is some serious downgrades. It'll be like the management haven't even tried -
British Final 2022
Daniel Smith replied to Hackett's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
With this years winner or runner up (if Bewley bothers) not getting a slot to the GP, I foresee a lot of withdrawals at it being a field of mainly National Development League rider's for the rerun, mainly Belle Vue one's too. It will be a farce -
Whilst I agree Woffinden is still No1 he is being caught, he certainly doesn't lead by far & away. Woffinden (7pts) with Lambert (6pts) before tapes exclusion heat. Woffinden (11pts) with Bewley (10pts) What Woffinden does have a clear advantage over the other 2 with is gating. Even in the GP's Woffinden is only 3pts clear of Lambert & 6pts over Bewley. That's nothing
