Steve Shovlar replied to stevethelion's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well considering he hasnt missed a meeting other than the one where he wasnt wanted by Swindon, there cant be much wrong. -
Ticket Sales At Belle Vue
Steve Shovlar replied to KIRKYLANE's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
As its a Monday doubt the crowd will be huge. -
It was a bog standard race. We are lucky at Poole that we see great racing nearly all the time. Granted the track for the BV meeting was poor but even that meeting had loads of passing. The clips a couple of weeks ago from BV was far more entertaining.

Pretty much a bog standard race.

So Tungate was only injured for Swindon at Leicester, just as I thought. The points gained from hid rr rides should be deducted from the scoreline. Only fair course of action. -
Belle Vue National Stadium
Steve Shovlar replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Me and Rob also. More by luck than judgement though as the back straight had sold out. It was either west stand or expensive grandstand seats. If you are considering going better get a ticket there can't be many left by now. -

Should Tai Woffinden Ride For Team Gb ?
Steve Shovlar replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I would just like to make one thing clear. I am no Tai hater. I wish him luck in the gps and when he rides for TeamGB. My issue is not the person himself but his refusal to support British Speedway in any way, shape or form. -
Should Tai Woffinden Ride For Team Gb ?
Steve Shovlar replied to robert72's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
It would make no difference. I beleive he should be riding here full stop. To choose foreign leagues over the UK is just plain wrong. I can understand riding in Poland. Less so in Sweden but other top riders manage three leagues without issue. If he is tired, then drop Sweden. As a Brit he is letting down British fans. -
Should Tai Woffinden Ride For Team Gb ?

Absolutely. It seems Gavan's posts are fact and true and everyones elses opinion is trolling. A few days ago he said he was speaking for everyone.mhe wasnt speaking for me and never will. A shame he can't debate. Everyone has their own opinion, some think crapping on the uk scene is fine while others think it a disgrace. See, that's my opinion. Others will disagree and that's their perogative. I took no joy in writing that post. I don't dispise Woffinden or anything like that. Just believe he has let his home country down very badly. Surprised others can't see that but I don't revert to childish name calling. So you have a different opinion to me, but rather than counter my post with some constructive debate, you attack the poster calling me an imbecile, moron and a troll. I am neither of those things and have an opinion just like everyone else. To try and slur me by saying I know nothing about the sport is also false as you well know. It certainly is and makes the poster look like they are incapable of realising there are other people out there who don't have the same opinion. -

The British Final is a farce simply because Woffinden couldnt be arsed to ride. Too tired poor little mite. It makes a mockery of the event and reduces the crowd considerably. But Woofinden doesnt care. He doesnt care for British speedway full stop. It doesnt matter that British speedway gave him the opportunity to learn his trade. He has already stuck his middle finger up at league racing. Hell to all the fans from Wolverhampton that cheered him on. Now he has wrecked the British Final but not being bothered to ride. Yet all the apologists are out in force posting his schedule, which looks the same as the majority of the sports top riders. And lighter than nki, Jonsson, Holder and Zagar. Personally the crowd for the swc wont be affected as most of the tickets have now sold anyway. I would drop him from TeamGB. We owe him nothing. Let him take a holiday to give him the opportunity to get over his tiredness. He has disrespected British Speedway and for the life of me I struggle to understand why some people are still supporting him. The most unpopular British World Champion ever? We are not going to win anyway so give the spot to a youngster. -

Threat To The Elite League
Steve Shovlar replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The edr is one of the best ideas to come out of the bspa in a while. Trouble is they have completely messed it up this season with edr to heat leader. If the promotions are talking about getting rid thats wrong imo. Keep edr at 6 and 7 but change the heat format so they get some tougher rides. But not against heat leaders.
