Grand Central

Excellent meeting.

Not just that; he hasn't actually even been invited to compete; such is the magnificent organisation.

Really entertaining meeting. BSN really can put together a package that is far superior to anything Eurosport has ever produced. Great interviews as well with a real scoop from the very amusing Richie Worrall.

Lying about the state of of the track to this fictional 'new fan' who just happens to have already subscribed to BSN is your idea of positive PR to increase attendances. Are you feeling alright ?

But lying will ? And a new fan has managed to subscribe to BSN as well.

That's one small way in which BSN is so much of a better watch than the always-on-message Eurosport.

FIM, Eurosport and Morris ... I'm giving up for tonight.

I am watching a hooky feed for nothing. Imagine paying for this sh!te or worse travelling to experience this level of excrement live. Can we have a championship meeting on BSN please.

Surely this is a prime example of when the emotion and excitement of the moment gets the better of a young man. Then they do something really stupid just because at the time they thought it was funny and would impress their mates. Tai you're married with children. Grow up.

From TV Times for August 1, 1970

Mind you, the whole article could be condensed into one line. An unidentified lab has been given an unexplained testing task on the shale and then Ole will build the track in exactly same way he has done for years (including last year).

You clearly have no understanding of what you think a 'Tax Break' is.

Using one of those provided by racers and royals at lunchtime ... Top quality and in English.

Is there some sort of time delay for the commentators ? Every time someone did an obviously faster time they had no idea until about three or four seconds after we were seeing it on screen. It just makes them seem a bit retarded

It was great to get such comprehensive coverage of the Warsaw GP Isn’t it good to know that the people at The Star have their finger on the pulse of the Speedway public; regarding the most controversial incident since Tai got a new tattoo. They really got that just spot on with so much insightful input and discussion; plus the interview with Jason Doyle was a great scoop.

1954 … Brandon got 24k inside whilst in the same year they managed to cram over 102k into Odsal. Hilariously irrelevant in 2023.

When did Brandon last have the capacity to hold 24k ?

No disagreement from me. Very poor. Not only is the photoshopping dreadful, I want to scream at the hideous choice and mix of fonts. Mind you Chris Holder does look about 90 IRL.

I was congratulatory of the journalistic prowess of Peter Oakes to get this non-story in the national press. But I have now read his more personal take on it in todays Speedway Star and he seems to have lost sense of reality.

And that wouldn't pay the bills.

Hilarious nonsense. An object lesson in how a good journalist can get great coverage for the sport providing the word Wembley is attached … especially when a guy who knows absolutely nothing about the sport can be quoted spouting utter claptrap on a podcast.

That would explain it.

Integrity, Transparency and Perception… Phil is not wrong is he ?

I assume you were saying this in jest.

I don’t think anyone said he would be but it’s always helpful to state the bleeding obvious. So thanks.
