THE DEAN MACHINE

Then I don’t think lindgren will get one

I think Freddie will get a wild card simply because he is a swede and the only one in the GP, he is past his best but is still competitive

I like Greg, he is the best presenter on BSN and has the respect of the riders and because he has been there knows the why’s and how’s of how speedway ticks but on Friday night broadcast he announced that was his last BSN meeting this season

It must of been ok because I was quite surprised how many of my customers who don’t follow the sport but know I do mentioned watching it to me

I know how it works I’ve done it but I always rode in every meeting I was asked even if I was getting less money than my club money because I wanted to race my bike and rode in the hope I would win something which is my point, nobody seems to care about the prestige or the love anymore, it’s all about the money, I don’t blame the BSPL on this one, the sport is practically broke but riders just don’t seem to care

Set up nicely for the last round and with the qualifiers for the top seven also on the line should be some meeting, rooting for zmarzlik to become the greatest ever but hopefully if not him then lambert

Freddie is pulling some questionable moves, he isn’t just passing riders he is making sure they know it

Why is Greg Blair not on BSN for the rest of the season ?

I just don’t get the mindset of the modern riders, it’s like they are just doing it for the money now and winning,prestige and more importantly the fans just doesn’t matter

There are many cliques in speedway at all levels

And just to add from 2013 on I should of been offered the job of running the national league, it may sound like I’m blowing my own trumpet but as someone who was there at it’s conception and was there through all its guises I sort of know what it’s about unlike some of “experienced” faces who came in thinking they could run the show but when you ruffle a few feathers and prod a few bears in BSPL towers you are seen as an outsider, sadly those days are gone for me now, it doesn’t interest me anymore but it’s still sad to me to see the national league as it is today

Nora is the correct future for the national league and has been for a good few years now but will the scb/acu let it go ?the national league around the early to mid 2000s when the national league (Plymouth, Weymouth, Wimbledon cradley )started pulling in bigger crowds than the top leagues measures were put in place to decimate the league and it didn’t take many years to reduce it to the debacle it is today, short sighted, jealousy and bitterness and in some cases incompetence are rife in the bspl so don’t expect anything to change anytime soon, anyway a big congratulations to Martin and everyone at the IOW for an enjoyable short season that happily attracted good crowds

Doesn’t seem to have many good meetings anywhere recently

Rain would of put off quite a few and match is hardly a close contest with Częstochowa this year fielding a team that would struggle against Buxton and nothing really at stake in this fixture, the only jeopardy for this meeting is would the rain win

Not that’s it’s going to happen now but I do think the play down thing is a bit unfair on Zeilona gora, Gorzow and grudiadz, Częstochowa have been shocking all year but 2 good matches in the play downs could of seen them stay up even though they haven’t scored a point all season

Reading the reports from people who were there yesterday are saying this is solely laying the blame at the police door, it was one man being mouthy that started it but he was just one man that should of been dealt with calmly but it seems the police went all in and this didn’t sit well with some others who were close and then it escalated with the police pepper spraying

I use the extraleague app when watching on a fri/sun, it is a very good app and in English language too

Every team has their nutters including your beloved gorzow, worst I’ve seen was Gdansk when they raced Toruń a few years ago, think it was around 2014, we were there on a GP weekend,they were masked up ready for a fight from the very start of the meeting and they certainly got one, bit I didn’t understand was Toruń fans were in a fenced off pen surrounded by police but some still got into rest of stadium. Also like to add that Zeilona gora is one of if not the best atmosphere in any speedway stadium world wide, the noise from those fans is something else

I know obviously because of where it is located in the stadium

All going on tonight on and off the track, latest delay brawl in the stands, proper derby

Yellow card for drabik, not sure if it was his hissy fit in heat 12 or being a twit in general

What happened to Dudek at the end, taken out of his last ride and didn’t come out on parade at the end or get his medal ?

Anyone on here heard anything about Mr Osbourne ?

It’s me,I’m taking a break from all social media for a bit including BSF I’ve deleted my FB too so as of now it’s a case of see you soon f**kers

Not really a big crash, he just hit the ground hard, caused by his engine blowing mid turn, he didn’t leave in ambulance and was sitting in his pit bay with an ice pack on his shoulder when I turned over to the other match, I’ve got the video of it but I’m not posting it because of the Lilly livered that get on their moral high horse about such things, anyway tai speedy recovery
