  1. With the news that a city like Birmingham can't make the sport pay then it's looking very grim for the rest. Probably have an EL with Poole and Kings Lynn and the rest in a much smaller PL next year. Funny how the BSPA are rallying to the cause now the sh#t has hit the fan but were not there when they were needed. Their record of keeping tracks alive is not very good so sadly it looks like Birmingham will soon join an illustrious line of former tracks. As someone asked earlier does this sport deserve to survive here? No looks like the correct answer sadly
  2. Fair point it just seemed to me that way. I guess soon Brit speedway will be thankful if it was visited by the police never mind OAPs I don't think the sport here can be saved sadly but as long as Poole win the EL like David Mitchell would say 'everything is fine'..
  3. Do you have any actual evidence for this 'old' demographic assertion or is this just something you have pulled out of your arce? True in Poland there is a large element of young people but that was the case when I went to speedway when we had actual crowds instead of small knots of people milling around. Have you done any polling or research into speedway crowds to back up your claims? I watch Polish speedway all the time on TV and most times it is well supported and of a better standard but blaming old people for the state of British speedway seems to me as an old person a bit unfair British speedway is in a mess due to lack of investment, lack of vision from those in charge and simply Zeitgeist. The sport has never gotten to grips with the new century and as such many people have lost interest. But the idea that speedway tracks are populated by old age pensioners is frankly fatuous and mildly insulting I no longer attend as it's too expensive and as an old person I prefer to spend my money nowadays on more leisurely pursuits such as booze, foreign travel and heavy rock concerts but I am still a speedway fan and enjoy watching the many foreign leagues but hardly bother much with the EL on SKY as it's not very interesting. That's speedways biggest problem here in the UK it is simply not very interesting. It's demographic covers a wide spectrum of people but sadly there are not as many of them as there used to be
  4. The new bloke wasn't bad but did shout a bit. Sam started well but got excited and was inventing names right left and centre. McKorpie was my fave. He managed not to make a mess of Protasiewicz by calling him Pepe all night which by Sam standards was a stroke of genius. All he needs now are nicknames for all the funny sounding foreigners and he is quids in. Overall a huge improvement but I was disappointed not finding out how old some of the riders were
  5. Been a really good meeting. I like the new commentator he gets excited and even Sam had moments of lucidity Gotta fly after last heat so see you guys in Denmark
  6. Nightmare race for Sam. Buzerski did well but Prozacowicz was too much for him. Bloody good meeting tonight.
  7. I bet the rest of the league is disappointed at that
  8. Protasiewich is one of the best riders in the top leagues. Should be a odds on pick for the Poles in the WTC.
  9. Sam says Buczkowski very fast so nobody realises he calls him something different every time. Still some good comedy from Sam with anyone with a name with more than 2 syllables Nicki does not need to ride like a maniac as he is a great speedway rider. Is Chris Harris available?
  10. Sam is calling him Pepe as he has no idea how to pronounce his second name. They have to replace McKorpie in the next heat
  11. Sadly the rerun was the most boring race of the match Great race there and I wonder if Nicki has taken to heart all the stick he got after the Zagar incident and has become a pussycat You two will have to wear blindfolds as that will be men against boys without Laguta
  12. controversy from Sam They should not award that race
  13. Nice to see Linback back in form. Poor Nicki getting hustled out of first place The new bloke gets excited and shouts a bit so will get stick from those who don't like Shouty and Nicey and prefer speedway commentators to sound more dignified. Better than the other Dave. I like him. Even Sam has been gibberish free so far except for getting a bit mixed up with Joonas Kylmäkorpi's name at the end.
  14. I wonder if Sam realises it's a different bloke from last week?
  15. Why would they do this? The top leagues have no problems because of this so why they should care about one of the minor leagues is beyond me British speedway should learn to adapt but sadly is still 30 years behind the top leagues. It's like climate change far too late and simply staving off the inevitable. We will end up with one league at around PL level. Which will probably be the best thing to happen and shake the sport up a bit and start rebuilding the sport from the bottom up.
  16. It's matches like this we will miss the Jack and Sam show as Pepe's name would be a subject of much mirth as Sooty and Sweep cock it up time and again. Hoping for an exciting tight match tonight. Rospiggarna getting rid of Harris was a no brainer as he was useless last time he was on TV. Lebedev is a much more reliable rider and they should stick with him and not let harris whine his way back into the team the way he does the SGP He has now been dumped by his top Polish team and now his top Swedish team. He even got dropped by his Polish 1st division team. I used to really like Chris but he spends too much time making excuses. He really needs someone to show him the way back as he used to be a pretty decent man to have in your team instead of the passenger and liability he seems to be nowadays
  17. How could he be new to it when he said he followed it in the North East in the 70s and was a mate of Tom Leadbitter who as far as I remember was actually a speedway rider and a damn good one. He (Jack not Tom) was a first class idiot and having to turn to Sudden Sam for advice when Sam cannot even remember what his old team mates are called was pretty desperate. Comedic wise they were hilarious and we will miss that pairing but they make the sport look amateurish which it is compared to most but there is no need for Eurosport to rub it in Dave Goddard is a bit dull so I am glad he is not returning to Swedish speedway and look forward to what the new guy makes of the Sweep (Sam) to his Sooty.
  18. Can't say I have ever heard of the lad but it's always sad when one of those brave sportsmen loses his life. Damn shame
  19. LMAO. I have been to many meetings drunk but they never stopped the meeting It may get to the stage that the only way to get anyone through the turnstiles is trawl the pubs and promise drunken people sexual favours once they get inside. Bit like Hostel with speedway. Is this a new low for our sad sport? What next a blind referee? Oh I forgot
  20. Says it will have a go if the weather improves by 3 PM http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/wydarzenie/25280
  21. Why not have a million man march on Parliament and demand Nick Clegg saves speedway. After all he has nothing else to do other than make the cabinet tea. Nick could turn out to be the champion we need.
  22. Why would anyone slag you off for an opinion? Oh I forget this is the BSF Seriously though that was half the fun having a good whinge at Jack's buffoonery. He and Sam were comedy gold and the best thing about the last meeting they did together. WE will miss Him
  23. Exactly. Throw a few out of meetings and fine them and the worst offenders would calm down a bit. There are too few riders to go round as it is to ban people. Ban someone then the same people who moaned about Nicki P would whinge about guests when it happened to their team. Nicki was a knobhead and so was Matty for spitting on him. Slag them off by all means as they deserve it but ban them? That is insane.
