old bob at herne bay

Tatum is wetting himself - Germany have won 😀

If the Germans win tonight it will reverberate throughout the World of Speedway ......... steady on Kelv .....

That referee will need a police escort out of he stadium - why was the rider excluded ???????

TV company cock ups galore - Kelvin being tested

Neil Vatcher .

Not sure what the tractors are grading. Polishing a turd comes to mind. Theres nothing to grade apart from a small pile 2 feet from the fence.

chuffed to bits for the young man

I am "chuffed to bits" with the opening 4 races.

Poetry in Motion says Kelvin ....

Mmm apols for getting Bewley polish track wrong ……seems he likes it nonetheless😂 stand by my other two comments ….. “ anyone can pass” 😂😂😂 on a slick track prepared by Morris ?? Well yes SGP boys passed NDL standard riders …… but not much else. Australia still have a shout …. If Kurtzy’s partner be it Doyley or mad Jack can learn to gate. Not so keen on Poland as Smarslik not the most consistent gater . Bewdley and Lambo will struggle neither are great gater and Bewdley will find the outside strip blocked by the more savvy top riders Still Lady Luck will prevail …….😂😊 come on Team GB prove me wrong 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Well SoN semi finals are over , first time I have watched live speedway on TV this season. What a load of dross. Seen better entertainment at Hackney on a Saturday afternoon trainin session watching juniors practice. Possibly 2 races in the 42 heats of speedway. FTG rubbish on a very slick track, specially prepared by Morris. Unless the lad Morris gets some shale down on the track by Saturday looks like being a borefest with everyone riding 1 metre from the fence following each other around once they have got past bend 2 on the first lap. We havent seen the gating of the Poles , but on the performances so far , Kurtzty looks quickest from the starts so dont see anyone beating him on that track. All the others are pretty inconsistent gaters ... Maybe they will get a biger crowd for the "final" - at £90 a pop for the best seats the racing will need to be good or there will be a riot.

Lots of interesting and some irrelevant comments on here again at the end of another season of British Speedway. Hung up my programme board a few seasons ago I admit, and the demise of the few remaining clubs in the southeast of England didn't help ..... but isnt the problem that there is a lack of supporters who have an interest in the sport in the UK ? Too many other competing calls on people's leisure time . Blame who you like for the slow demise of the sport in the UK, but the bottom line is not enought people will pay to watch it.

Can't we have an engine failure or a fall to liven this up. ?? Think I have counted less than 1,000 there tonight. 🙂

big crowd in again tonight Lady Luck will prevail it’s all on the gate

And on we go to the second semi final……and just like last night ……. Lady Luck will prevail it’s all on the gate

So Australia and Denmark tomorrow to joind the final , wonder if the crowd will be as small as tonight ?

Isnt Francis Gusts a Latvian - not seected ??

Yes I thought that too - rode for Eastbourne a while back if its the same Timo ?

Waterlogging the track !

theres such a gulf between the ability of the teams makes for very predictable riding results

Looks pretty chilly out there jusging by the spectators clothing . Speedway in late September a bit chilly .

Grim attendance. How much is admission ?

1 Team GB 2 Poland 3 Australia

Australia have shout , but bad tempered Jack can be wound up with some gamesmanship, and Doyley is good but not as good as the Poles and "Team GB" . Lady luck will prevail - its all on the gate

got to say Lambo and Bewdy , 2 home Torun riders must have a good shout at winning this again. Poland look the biggest threat to taking the crown from "Team GB" . Aside from Kurstzy Australia look maybe a shade weaker than the rest. Lady luck will prevail - its all on t he gate 🙂
