  1. One "top league" with some rider control to ensure all competitive, (and guest free)... (Five riders per team if that is the only way of delivering it) And sell that to the wider media... And one "2nd tier" for those who cannot keep paying out money that they cannot sustain, but can be very, very useful in developing a conveyor belt of talent, whilst putting on an entertaining. night out for their punters, on a night their punters want to attend .. (In the 2nd tier using all the current make it up as you go along rules if needs be).. Sharing around the likes of Kurtz, Bewley, Doyle and Sayfutdinov, J and C Holder, and Max (and maybe others who wish to join in), would be a tremendous starter for ten for the top tier... Who knows, run the "flagship top tier" with credibility, so no Mickey Mouse rules, and you may get some sponsors from outside the speedway bubble who see it as a positive to their overall business model... Let's hope those in charge can see further than the end of their own nose.... What "is" clearly doesn't work, so let's hope and pray that the custodians of our sport can stop the current race to the bottom and innovatively grasp the opportunities that exist .
  2. Just a fact re the NSS is't it. It just delivers great racing time and time again, at all levels from NDL to GP..... However, Leicester does seem to deliver some very good racing more often than it is given credit for.. It must have a very narrow sweet spot between being too wet and being too dry, as it often will be one or the other .. Somewhere "Goldilocks" in the middle however appears perfect, and that "slingshot" you can get from the banking out wide, can be very effective and deliver some very good races .. Best of Luck to the Lions in the Final, let's hope it's a closely congested two legs... With the Lions narrowly coming out on top.... (120-60)....!!!😉😁
  3. And good that they do.... A bit of tribal rivalry is the big missing space that needs filling if you want to make UK Speedway become relevent .
  4. In Salou at the moment, so not got a stream.... So, for anyone watching ... Who has Simon officially blamed..?😁
  5. I know... And everyone else knows who I was alluding to... Apart from, seemingly you... I hope for your sake, Ipswich win... Or, if they don't, don't come on here for a few days after.... COYL.....
  6. In Max we trust... Now the same again please Lions... Let's get the second most slapped arse manager in the league as pissed off...
  7. Jack could ride around the track with his pointy finger in the air...😁
  8. There is a well above average rider in there.,. If he keeps maturing like he seems to have done the past two seasons... Always thought he enjoyed just being a Speedway rider a bit too much and settled for that. Another couple of years of hard graft and he could develop into a higher than most level rider.,
  9. The EL was also in a different league when Adams topped the charts... Truly World Class talent across most teams... Mr Consistent ... A great rider ... And probably a bit too fair for his own good...
  10. To be fair ... That is the usual fayre at most tracks in the UK... Hopefully the score can remain close enough to maintain interest even if the racing doesn't ... Add in a couple of decent crowds, with plenty of away fans in attendance, and hopefully we will get two events that actually resemble a professional team sport , and prick some wider interest.
  11. Best of Luck to The Lions tonight... Of the three managers left in, I would suggest most neutrals would be rooting for Stewart Dickson... Always gives an honest balanced appraisal even in defeat... Whilst naturally disappointed he was exceptionally sportsmanlike last year when hammered by the Aces, and magnanimous in defeat... Unlike some who appear to be about to burst into tears and just seems to moan about referees, when they fail, (again)...😁 Come on Max!!!!!
  12. He would have, but as he said all those years ago, he can't use a "compooter" can he?😉😁
  13. Magic (from Oxford), is riding for Sheffield in the semi final of the flagship competition over here .. Tells you everything about the status of winning the competition.. Wroclaw got battered by Lublin a few years ago when injuries decimated them... That's sport...
  14. Make it worth watching, like the Polish do, and maybe similar full stadiums would exist over here?
