With hardly any characters in ANY SPORT these days Speedway needs to go back to basics and NOT FINE anyone who even thinks about causing a problem or raising his voice in an argument.Ian thomas bless him was not everyones cup of tea but did he get people talking about things in an meeting when the racing was boring he got people talking and WE NEED PEOPLE like him to bring an element of friction in a meeting.In the UK these days the riders just swan in and out of the country ,with no element of doing anything other to score whats good for them and get out again and onto the next meeting.WITH FINES making people scared to breath speedway has gone stale,bring back the telephone and make it bigger and better for the riders to talk to the ref WITHOUT the risk of being fined,we know he/she wont change their mind but it was all part of the banter at one time when the racing was rubbish at least you had that element of banter that kept everyone talking.why cant we just get back to the natural reaction of riders without the risk of being fined?

Has he got an early plane to catch for Poland on sunday or is his best kit in Poland already,that was dire from him not to trouble anyone with his scoring.

OK so i get everyones views that they dont mind riders mixing and having a laugh with their rivals,so when the racing isnt that good how do we make it a bit more cutting edge with a bit of spice to the meeting.The only rider in this meeting to show any zest for wanting to mix it with rivals was Josh Pickering who was busting a gut at least having a go.How do we get everyone busting a gut if its all toooooooooooo friendly?

WELL!!!!! That was good!! Only PEOPLE ENJOYING!!! the meeting were the home and away riders themselves who were not at all concerned with the cameras in the pits picking them up having a jolly up between themselves!!! What a joke uk speedway has become with riders mixing with the opposition.Not in any sport in the world would teams act in this manner,ONLY IN UK SPEEDWAY.SMAMBLES

Very bizarre from Batch,and Troy almost shoots himself again,because everyone knows he has top class equipment and always had and turned up with immaculate bikes ,maybe he was minus a pit crew member but even then to be given 4 rides you would have thought someone would have had a quite word in his ear about going out for his 4 ride,but that was his worst of the night.Can you imagine if this had happened in Poland what the reaction would have been?!!!

WHY give Batchelor 4 RIDES when the first 3 he rode like that.What the hell is the team manager doing.

Huckenbeck for me please £200 more

For the younger fans that watch speedway today here are some photos of the 1979 INDOOR Lada classic WEMBLEY 1979!!!! Im moving house but got a bit delayed looking at these classic Mike Patrick photos i ordered at the time.!!!

This final 7 riders has to be a bit of a joke surely!!! As a neutral i dont like to criticise teams normallybut i have to say apart from Sam Masters this Oxford team is going to get battered away from home and as a floating fan,when Oxford come to town i for one will not be going anywhere near their away fixtures.Just dreadful.

Are they really throwing the kitchen sink at promoting Speedway in the city and in the midlands in general? Only Birmingham fans will know the answer.Why are thet trying just to find sponsorship,go out there and drag the extra people needed by to make it work,Its great that the club has backers but Birmingham isnt a small city get the word out and about.

Rob Tilbury as a neutral going to watch speedway was great value for money,even his team mates didnt know what he was up to sometimes!!!!

anyone else having problems getting to this site?!!! Its toooooooo popular!!!. anywaay madsen for me please 300 more. Thanks

What a great start to the weekend with TEAM GB winning the SON ,and it was a shame the football team coulnt follow suit,but my question is does anyone outside of speedway know team GB are world champs,because quite frankly the press coverage of us winning the event is pathetic to say the least!!!Now i know there would be no talk of a public holiday!!!!!! i like they were talking about the England football team but surely MORE could have been done in the press to jump on the band wagon so to speak and raise the profile of the sport.Even the GB squad are sponsored by the daily star but they had little or n o coverage,so im just wondering if any of our friends from around the world had any mentions of the event in their country,either on national TV or the papers and what on earth Speedway has to do to get in the spotlight,it just seems knowbody is bothered.Now the question that most proberly people will fire back to me is speedway has lost the plot and is not popular enough,but then how do sports like hockey get a full page write up in the press when surely speedway has more going for it then hockey,or evan table tennis got a mention the other day in the press!!!!It would be interesting to hear any thoughts of fans in Poland ,Denmark or Sweden what the press think of speedway and what on earth can be done to change the way people in the press think of our sport as winning and being top of the world in a sport doesnt do a damm thing to get speedway in the spotlight.Im at a loss for words how speedway is looked at.

Will you be making a Swedish,slovak,GB flag so we can see your emotions during the GP?!!! HAVE a good one.

Just wondering what happened to Busters son ? Is he still involved in the speedway,and how do the chapmans make their money away from speedway?

Maybe Poole fans will put me right but i still cant believe how well Leon Madsen has done,I thought he was a very average rider,and didnt race in the UK that long,but the next thing i remember was watching him in Poland a few years later and i just thought what.............is this the same rider i saw in the uk.I never so that kind of progress coming and fair play to him,he still is producing top quality racing week in week out.
