I just can't believe that so many can't just accept that G.B. won fair and square according to the rules set before the event. Moaners is too kind to them they are just sad, sad people. I've seen Dan mature from his Comet days.....in 2018 he fractured his femur into 3 pieces..was maybe career ending..and yesterday... HE BECAME A WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!! Oh go on then find a moan..some will eh!

Rugby League, which is by far better supported than speedway, always have play-offs in each of their 3 divisions. And it isn't guaranteed that the top team win the trophy.......as indeed St.Helens RLFC did this year after being second in their lg table..teams lower than that have won the final in the past. It makes for a popular and exciting season's finale. G.B. did of course enjoy some luck in the final race...but they'd beaten Poland in Heat 3 so fair does. Incidentally I think I'm correct in saying that the 4,3,2,0 speedway pairs format was the brainchild of the late, great, promoter Ian Thomas who introduced it to the second division pairs event so many years back.....and his Comets outfit loved it.

And Carlisle Border Raiders RLFC were a very good team during their Gillford Park era.......Sadly the good sporting public of Carlisle preferred to support soccer so dwindling crowds forced Carlisle to merger with Barrow and move to south Cumbria.....the merger was basically just the end of Carlisle.

I see Championship Rugby League is to be shown live TV (Premier) on Monday nights for next two seasons 2022 and 2023. This will probably clash with Speedway coverage on same night, both being summer sports. There are Championship Rugby League teams in Manchester, Sheffield and Newcastle for instance, which may cause some fans of both sports commitment problems? Obviously the record facility will help.

Pardon my ignorance, if I've missed something, although I have searched a tad for info. However I'll ask anyway.....Is there, this season, going to be a PLRC, and a CLRC ? Presumably the Premiership being at the NSS and the latter as usual at Owlerton. Or given the 'doubling up' by so many riders are both meetings therefore too difficult to arrange accordingly? Anyone know?
