  1. To be fair... In a HL position this year, not a SS/Reserve...
  2. Poor crowd in Wroclaw... I have just seen an empty seat.... That Polish bubble must be bursting.... Edit. On no, my mistake someone must have just gone for a Gerd/Erik....
  3. Do they have to learn that song that some KL fans put together a few years ago before they get their bibs??😁
  4. Get there very early... Form an orderly queue....🤣
  5. It's called the "changes to the atmospheric conditions prevailing above" regulation.... But only applies to left handed riders.. On Tuesdays... In May or June..
  6. Come on the Witches...!! They could win this!!!!! Edit. Or draw then,..!!
  7. No, you are supposed to keep all your named riders from the first match.... Even if you are getting hammered every week and your crowd levels drop...
  8. And the issue such things happen is that these riders then get used again the following year... There is simply no deterrent at all... For some, getting a 28 day ban at this stage in the season is perfect as it means no risk of injury in the UK, which could impact where they earn the most, and also, risk the wrath of, particularly, their Polish employers.. "You won't do this again will you?" "No" "Good, here is your 2025 contract"..
  9. 100%.. In a sport that the "ultimate prize" delivers big financial rewards and publicity, I would expect minimal, (but still some), "controls" in place to keel things competitive.. With UK Speedway delivering neither of the above then there really is no point in having teams so unevenly matched from the onset, especially given the, (in reality for a professional sport), very low attendance levels that exist across the whole of the sport, even for "successful" teams.. Just a couple of hundred missing can have a huge impact given the low starting point, so maintaining competitive teams has to be the No1 priority of the sport, not who wins any title... NB: (But not maintaining competitive teams by all sharing each others riders in virtually every match, like is done currently, as that just ultimately adds to the missing crowd numbers)...
  10. Great News!!! The council will bend over backwards to whizz through the planning permission and Gaming will double the overtime for everyone to get it built in record time....
  11. Best of luck to those plucky, injury ravaged, so brave, underdogs from Poole.... If they somehow manage to get 30 points it will be a moral victory. .
  12. Can't Brum give Pawlicki a 28 day ban for "withholding his services".?..🫡😁
  13. They cannot even get the start line riders correct... "Tactical Rides" seem to be Rider Replacement and any rider could be a "Rising Star" at any time...
  14. I think the track was in a perfect condition until someone walked around it sticking a bloody screwdriver in it...!!! Speedway in the UK is really poorly presented isn't it? Both the on track action and the off track commentary and atmosphere in the stadia..... Certainly no "FOMO" for anyone watching UK domestic league speedway on Eurosport is there? Someone, or something, needs to grab it by the throat and shake the hell out of it... And quickly...
  15. Which is amazing given the track record...
  16. Scott... Why do the Promoters think they can charge over twenty quid for this? Why is a Belle Vue rider helping another team to qualify for the play offs? Why don't the commentaters know the rules or be able to add up? When is the Kabbadi back on TV?
  17. Who cares?.. They will avoid Dan Bewley, who has helped them avoid himself...... Mickey Mouse nonsense... ...
  18. Well.. It is vitally important isn't it? A HUGE prize on the line...
  19. They must tailor their approach to the professionalism of those who deliver it...
