  1. Two reserve switches from lemo should have given Mulford his heat 14 ride nothing to lose but hey he is not a Aussie
  2. same pointless change of reserve in heat 4 just gives Mulford no chance after waiting six heats before second ride
  3. Good crowed at Sheffield , track was prepared for racing and we had some good heats. But were was the grader once the dirt moved out we got the one line follow the leader racing' Come on track staff drag the dirt back off the fence people dont pay to see riders following each other two foot rom the fence. More racing lines are needed first few races were good both inside and outside being used. Sheffield used to be a great racetrack and still should be if they pull the dirt back more often.
  4. Its about time we had a rule to stop teams using rider replacement at two,its not fair to put number ones in heat eight.What do people think
  5. Great to see Berwick giving Jack Smith a team spot, and that Jack is scoreing good points dont know wy teams seem to forget him when team building.Well done Jack keep it going
  6. Cant believe we have still got to put up with a stupid heat its a draw,both teams deserve to score a league point,get rid oft he stupid heat no wonder speedway is not taken serious by people
  7. just all go on British speedway network streaming great presentation by people who know speedway
  8. On tv the other morning there was interviews and some action of a game informing the viewers that the Netball season is about to start.Now i have nothing against netball fair play to them getting this coverage on main stream tv BBC. Got to ask were is the public relations officer regards to getting speedway a mention,if a sport like netball can do it so should speedway or have we sunk so low in the sporting world. Also i would like to see more crowd involvement lets get the old war cries back every team had one and it gets people interested when i was a supporter at Belle Vue when i was younger it was a highlight of the meetings shouting for your team with a war cry it made us feel part of the team,bring them back then instead of the crowd looking miserable between races get them doing something to keep the atmasfear going.
  9. Speedway is the only sport that penalise anyone who shows improvement, look what happened to Jack SMITH and Nathan Ablitt, both riders came up from N D L to reserves in the championship and both improved their averages ,and claimed places in the top five of their teams. Then after all the time and effort they put in sees them both frozen out of team places i would not be surprised if one or both decide its not worth putting all the time and money into speedway. I dont know of any other sport were improving goes against you surly something must be done to stop such ridiculous things happening to riders.
  10. Speedway in Britain will never recover fans until they stop running mid week meetings. most other sports run at weekends and attract large crowds football rugby would not be getting the crowds on week night except the top league teams.time to forget pleasing Poland and think about saving the sport in this country.
  11. That track at Sheffield used to be a great race track,but the air fence as narrowed it off but not slowed it down. They also need to drag the dirt back off the fence,only half of the track is used the racing is rubbish follow the leader all round the fence. Also its a danger for riders out on the fence Emils crash Holders crash and Lindseys crash all caused with riders chasing dirt four feet from the fence. Come on Sheffield sort the track out so all of it can be used
  12. Sorry but Tate was hanging on was wide and could not control the bike he hit deep dirt when that happens the bike picks up drive eg speed,the rider becomes a passenger.This is not a argument about how a crash happens,its about track prep by letting dirt build up on the outside and riders all try to use that part of the track.that then give us one line follow the leader racing. Just start early pull the dirt back across all the track lets get back to racing
  13. After the two crashes involving Tate and Emil i think the way tracks are allowed to let the dirt build up near the fence leads to riders chasing the dirt riding feet from the fence. the rest of the track is not used and we get follow the leader races. the dirt must be pulled back down over the whole track, its silly not to give riders the chance to pass inside and outside and all the track gets used. Scunny get great racing riders can use all the track M P T won heat 15 last Friday passing both Poole riders up the inside all the track was used,even at the N S S it sometimes ends up one line round the fence,come on track men start pulling the dirt back over all the track for safer and better racing
