Grand Central

Because David Rowe has done a damn good job for Eurosport for the last few years and doesn't deserve to be dumped just because the 'usual suspects' are at a loose end.

Yes. https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2020/06/22/sky-and-discovery-announce-carriage-deal/

What amounts to a wishlist of dates/venues is in the original post ... Anything that comes officially from BSI anytime soon will still need to be taken with a huge pinch of salt until much later the way things are going.

Ominous signs with Warsaw National Stadium now being turned into a Polish Nightingale Hospital ... Shades of Cardiff ?

Manchester next October ... So fingers crossed.

I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about. Thankfully.

I wish I was not a speedway supporter sometimes. Tonight was one of those those times. Nothing about this weekend or the SON will ever redeem things.

Whoosh

What a monstrous trophy they are using ...hideous

No. Thats just daft.

At least they have had the foresight to pencil next year's event in for a better time of the year ...

No need to reinvent the wheel. Just return to the (immediate) pre 2020 method. Perfect.

Oh FFS

Oh yes ... No one could moan and groan pre meeting as much about a wet track as him ... A right sour faced malcontent he could be ... So it was always satisfyingly amusing to see him have to cope for all those years having to run meetings in the p!ssing rain at Vojens.

Today, of course, riders provide their own helmet colours and can have them bespoke fitted to their helmet and securely fastened. In the GPs most have 4 helmets in the appropriate colour. But back in the seventies the helmet covers are provided by the track ... Many were in a very poor state of repair, tattered and loose fitting with knicker-elastic that would do Nora Batty proud. That why Olsen felt he had a right to moan about 'his' not being fit for purpose.

Yes and all with 3-2-1-0 scoring ... The absolute bedrock of proper speedway.

Yes. The app worked fine on my iPad from the start. But has always played up very badly on my Kindle Fire and never resolved. But avoiding the app and using the exact editions website and it all works fine.

No. it was fine for this year when extraordinary circumstances demanded a different approach. Hopefully next year the GP and domestic leagues can get back to something like normality. And then the following year under Discovery we'll be having GPs all over the world and everything will be very different !

We all know it's not going to work at all.

As far as I can see the FIM have pulled a blinder. They have sold the SGP for massive bucks to a second company/group that hasn't got the faintest idea about Speedway and it's limitations ... Just like they did with BSI twenty years ago. And they have done so on the same bogus premise of the bizarre idea that there is vast untapped market .... . All those countries who haven't shown a ounce of interest in the sport in almost 100 years of its existence are all going to be won over THIS TIME . Bonkers The truth is that they have not shown any interest in Speedway because ... THEY REALY ARE NOT INTERESTED. It is that simple. The FIM have actually sold the SGP at a massively inflated price, not based on what it actually IS but on a fictional 'what it might be' in a parallel universe. For the second time. Mr Viegas saw a bunch of mugs coming in and sold them a chocolate teapot for a King's ransom. Brilliant work that man.

Madsen £200 more

Errr .. Yes. Is that something we didn't know?

There have not been many - if any - rule changes brought in since Armando became head of the CCP that have NOT been crap.

No £12 would be too much for them all.

That seems quite revolutionary. Has it ever been tried ?
