I don't suppose you could take the time on here to explain what a mong is could you? Or is it just another name for a Spoofer?

A couple of years ago, we took a young lad who had never seen speedway before and he absolutely loved it. He pestered his parents to come again, but speedway being speedway, we closed down at the height of summer and didn't have a meeting for weeks (sound familiar?). In the meantime he was taken to the football for his first match and now never misses a game and has no wish to return to the speedway. For us two, after following the Lions (and Long Eaton during the fallow years) home and away for 57 years, we got fed up with sitting watching nothing happening during endless breaks, whilst listening to a guy waffling on about Blackbird Road, which means nothing to potential new supporters. We've got 10 Grandchildren and have tried to introduce them to the sport i've loved for decades, but they all say the same thing, the racing is great, but the rest is boring and they have no interest in returning. I still love my speedway with a passion, but i'm not missing going if i'm honest. We'll still stream the meetings though. Sorry i almost forgot to mention the weekly treat at Leicester of listening to Glad all over by the Dave Clark Five, followed by Que Sera, Sera..... come on kids, sing along...

Have they abandoned the meeting tonight? I paid to watch the stream, but so far have been treated to about 30 minutes of a previous meeting. After 57 years of following live speedway and being a season ticket holder, my wife and i decided not to go this season....and so far we haven't missed it. I've no idea how they expect to attract new supporters serving up this borefest every five weeks or so.

The worst thing he did for me, was throwing his crash helmet. Stupid thing to do, when you're relying on it to possibly save your life. I've never understood riders who do this.

Disappointed, but congratulations to Ipswich, you deserved it.

And Kemp pulls up yet again & costs us a point when King gets excluded 🤬

Ffs get rid of mardy arse Kemp & his continual pulling up 😡

️

Turnbull strikes again. How the hell has she been given a Grand Prix? I wouldn't trust her to put the cat out 😡

Sam Hagon's even smaller than i imagined he was 😁

I lost respect for him after seeing him smack his mechanic round the head after a televised race. If that had been me, I would have smacked him back.

Kim Nilsson anyone?

Lawson would have been my first signing if i was in charge. For me he was the rider of the year and him and Fricke were such a good pairing. Masters isn't a heat leader at this level i'm afraid and isn't consistent enough to carry Becker.

The Crewe track was round a cricket pitch.

Very sad news, one of my favourite riders. RIP Malcolm

I'm just reading the latest guff in the speedway star. Does anyone really believe that this will ever materialise? Absolute pigsh1t from Russell & that w@nker Osbourne. 😡

I was at the stadium today & it looks a mess. Fingers crossed speedway is able to return soon (by soon I mean next season).

I apologise for the idiot remark.

Well perhaps i'm just easily pleased. Sounds like i'll be the only one turning up for the next meeting, but if anyone else does bother, i'll be the one in the grandstand wearing rose coloured glasses.

I apologise for having an opinion different to yours. End of.

Well after fifty five years following my two teams Leicester & Long Eaton, I thoroughly enjoyed last night's meeting. To all those who continually slag off the track, racing & everything else to do with Leicester speedway, may I suggest that you find something else to do on a Thursday night, before you have no speedway team to support. And to all those idiots who said there was no overtaking last night, what planet were you watching from, because I saw plenty off overtaking.

Is anyone else having problems with the picture breaking up? Coverage has been crap tonight.

How come Simon Stead didn't get a medal? Very poor that.

I've always supported Lambert in the past, but tonight be confirmed what a jumped up little twonk he is. "The track was a joke" "I've already had a word with the referee about Thursday." I'm pigged off with these end of season mercenaries turning up for a big end of season pay day, who probably end up with a league winners medal, but don't give a chuff about British speedway. If you can't be arsed to commit to a full season riding over here, don't bother to turn up for a couldn't give a sh*t which team I ride for, for the last two weeks of the season, big bonus.
