Having worked in the hospitality industry for 25 years it never ceases to amaze me how on the big day, when everyone should be on point. British speedway always manages to shoot themselves in the foot…. Every bloody time. forget the stupid, flash banners and just get the bare basics right….. it’s not rocket science. if you can’t do the basics to cater for your paying clients in the 21st century. Step aside or pay someone professional to do it for you.

These kind of videos need to be shared wider. The fun side of having different nationalities in speedway. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AkGxoSrVE/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The thing is ….. you don’t race on paper.

If Dan can get the scaphoid plated and screwed it’ll be 4-6 weeks.

This ……

I dislocated my left hip in a grass track accident in Germany in 96, it was put back in by the hospital and I raced again 3 weeks later. I’m not saying it will be the same for Jason, but I don’t think it will be in the frame of several months out of the game.

Looking forward to this one. I arrive in the uk at 09:30 on Monday morning so hoping to get there for it.

Brexit has thrown up all sorts of problems. Adam travels on his French passport and was refused entry once as he’d passed the 90 days in 180 rule…… luckily he also had his uk passport with him too and was waved through after the original confusion.

I think Wright’s bra strap was too tight ….

As the famous saying goes …. Yeah, but you don’t race on paper.

Got it. Merci very much.

I can’t see a link for the stream. Any ideas ?

He wouldn’t know… he never gets invited.

I’ve owned bars for over a quarter of a century and the reason they lasted so long was the constant influx of new staff and their musical tastes. some of the suggestions on here are 50+ years old …. And then people wonder why the new fans aren’t flocking in droves through the turnstiles.

He probably means that riders always know they’ll get paid on time. It’s not always the case.

I once had someone tell me I knew nothing about Adam and that he and Adam were going out for a beer together that night. Which struck me as weird as Adam and I were having lunch in Bordeaux at the time.

There’s lots of them about. I just sit back and smile.

It was truly baffling. To the riders ( of both teams), managers, spectators and TV commentators. There’s either a serious lack of talent or maybe a theory of a match fixing / betting scandal

I was only asking because in a serious sport there’d be worries about match fixing and brown envelopes

Just wondering ….. were you allowed to bet on these semis ?

I’d be embarrassed to win a meeting that way. Let’s hope Turnball retires this season. She’s clearly lost it.

My hotel is 1.6 miles from the track. They had no idea there was speedway nearby.

I’ve driven up from north London for tonight’s meeting, en route not one panel / poster / banner advertising the speedway. I checked into my hotel which is 5 minutes from the track , mentioned where I was going to the receptionist … not a flicker of recognition. They make it hard on themselves huh ?

I love the way British speedway more or less shuts down in the Summer as they are worried that crowds will be low… then reschedule for October when it’s so cold only 4 men and a dog show up and it gets called off at heat 10. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
