What numpty designed the Torun roof? 90% of the track covered except the insides of the bends. Taxi for the architect! I should imagine its illegal but like sportsnationhd and sportsmania they will do their best to disguise where they are to keep going as long as possible. If they vanish I lose a tenner. Well less than that as I have had it a week.

Poole Pirates Vs Rye House Rockets 10/5/17
Steve Shovlar replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Really not funny. The guy had a nasty spill and hurt his shoulder. He might have had a poor start to the season but no need to laugh at a rider getting injured.- 285 replies

Poole Pirates Vs Rye House Rockets 10/5/17

KK crashed out on the first bend of his opening ride in Poland this afternoon and is out of the meeting. Bruised shoulder by the look of it on tv. Beat me to it PB. -
Batchelor gobbing off saying "we dont want to race". Riders whinging and have talked themselves out of it. Weather is fine ref made a call meeting on. We will soon see. Impressive main straight stand. What is the idea here, to have a stand like this all the wat around if funds become available? Riders again moaning led by the Aussies. Batchelor and Grazonek with Thomsen. Fans being treated awfully by all and sundry. Ref wants it on, riders say no. Fans now whisting, not happy with what is not going on. Looks like its off.

Cardiff Wild Card
Steve Shovlar replied to stevehone's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Absolutely. He should be told before the final that winning it doesn't mean he wins the wildcard. That will go to a Brit. -
Premier Sport Swedish & Polish League
Steve Shovlar replied to Trevor's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Well I watch the Polish Extraleague live on N Sports and as a complete neutral I watch for the whole event, not just the racing. Theres lots that British speedway could learn from the way the Polish league is run. If a meeting says it starts at 1.45 pm, the riders are at the tapes for heat 1 at 1.45 pm. Every time. In the UK riders shuffle out within 5 minutes of 7.30 pm, then faff around kicking the start line, then practice starts etc and the first race is at 7.47. Or 7.53. Or theres a delay as an old man in the crowd has tied the doctor up. Everything in Poland is gear for the max. Crowds, music, mic man, advertising, start girls wriggling and blowing kisses to the camera. Well worth watching. -
Lewis has done very well. Far better than most including me expected. But I think Kyle should come back. Having seen both ride there's little between them but just feeel Kyle has the edge. He seems more supple on a bike. Lewis tends to look a little stiff. Whatever the decision Lewis has done a very good job and I am sure if Matt can't offer him a place he will be snaffled up pretty quickly by another club.

So the massive project is that he has got his wife pregnant? Really? Thought that was the norm. Hardly a massive project. Building a house is a massive project. Starting a company from scratch and employing 100 people is a massive project. Having a baby is not. It happens to most people, from those on the dole to those with plenty of money. The result is sleepless nights and lots of joy, but massive project it is not. Its just life. If you stick your dinkle in a certain place enough times that is what happens. What a let down. Thought he had done a deal with the bspa, and was finally going to give something back to the country that gave him the break in the first place, by helping Neil Vatcher train up the kids. But then it was obvious it was nothing to do with anyone else. With Woffinden it seems its always woffy woffy woffy.

Poole V Swindon Ela 1/5/17 6pm

Disagree. Hans has been in dive bombing mode most of this season. He has come charging under riders entering the first and third bends since the start of the season. Quite agressive to be honest. -
Poole V Swindon Ela 1/5/17 6pm
Steve Shovlar replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
No there is nothing clearly wrong at Poole. Hans went to get changed but spent nearly ten minutes talking to the tractor guy about grading. That clearly delayed him getting changed and back for the track walk.
