Thank you so much W9, fantastic info. Not sure if I'll have a beer or not yet but this gives me the option. Your help is much appreciated, see you at the start line.

Hello Lions fans, Monarchs fan here looking for advice for next weekend. Is there public transport to the track (bus or taxi) from the city centre area or is it best to just drive?

Thank you Steve. I was mixing up Heat 3 with Worrall and Josh, another close-ish finish.

Well done Poole. It wasn't really in any doubt and I'd be surprised if it was anything other than a Leicester v Poole final. Question for those watching on the stream - How close was the Worrall/Masters finish and was it the correct decision? Looked like Worrall just held on from my vantage point.

More faux moaning. Give it a rest.

For those who question the prices can I ask how much you pay per month on other sports. It's not a knock, but with Union/League/Football/Hockey amongst many other sports I'm just looking for a comparison. Me, I gave up football a couple of years ago but it ranged from 28-38 per game.

From my vantage point it looked like Bjarne locked up and Worrall had nowhere to go. Well done Plymouth on getting the point and it could have been more. Great to see a few fans making the trip and one of them won the 50/50 draw.....so hopefully drinks on them tonight. Good luck at Berwick tomorrow and for the rest of the season. Also thanks for being great hosts when I was down at Plymouth a couple of weeks ago. Lovely set up and great fans.

Thanks Jaizer, appreciate the feedback.

Possibly both. But this was definitely Tigers fans venting frustration at their rider.

Did he ever look like he wasn't trying?

Question for all Glasgow fans. When Richie Worrall rode with Glasgow what were his faults? He took some stick at the 4's at Redcar, amongst other meetings, but I didn't watch him consistently enough to understand. Was it simply underperforming?

Oh dear oh dear. You are not only making things up but also getting that wrong in the process too. Its hilt, not hills. It's clear you have issues so I'll leave it there and wish you all the best.

Can you show me where anyone has said Edinburgh will win the league? You really don't seem to like Lawson. Is it personal?

Cutting edge banter, you are such a hoot.

James, your 'thirdly' is absolutely nail on the head if you pardon the pun. Sadly.

There is nothing better in speedway than watching riders progress. One year Todd Wiltshire was winning an individual at Glasgow and the next year finishing 3rd in the world. Most recently Max Fricke transforming from a 19 year old for the Monarchs into a Torun SGP winner. Next hope is Josh Pickering, absolutely stunning value for money. I'll miss it all. Edit. Todd may have finished 3rd at Glasgow. Definitely top 3.

Apologies Hawk, I meant to quote you in my response.

It looks like you and I are on a similar page. I agree with most of what you wrote and thank you for taking the time to do that rather than the emoji format. In the current climate I do not see a way for speedway to survive. Maybe part time but by then many tracks will have gone. Let's build paper thin and poor quality housing on this land. Time has expired on speedway in the UK. Which is why I posted. I genuinely hope everyone goes along to a few tracks in the next few weeks because not many tracks/teams, if any, will be around next season. My local team will only survive if others do the same. Our stadium is looked at every year for property development and if there are only a few teams to race against then the door will close, forever.

You haven't been for 8 years. You raise many valid issues but it's too late. It's too late for opinions and it's too late for talk of 'evolve'. It's not happening and the sport is almost dead in the UK.

No surprise, cheers.

Can you discuss what I posted? It's just a little up the page if you scroll you'll find it.

Can you expand or debate please?

Can you respond to what I posted rather than something completely random.

As above

Speedway does not have extortionate prices and it never has. In terms of your own lifestyle, earnings or priorities then YES Speedway does have extortionate prices and is bottom of the feeding barrel. It's a dying sport and it'll be gone very soon in GB unless there is a massive shift in peoples thoughts. All I read is moaning about the cost being too high, not value for money, 15 minutes of racing shouldn't cost blah blah, not enough passing, riders doubling up, guests, rider replacement, rain offs, poor track conditions, poor stadium conditions and the list is endless. Well guess what, Speedway is almost finished in the UK so enjoy it whilst you can. Everyone go as much as possible for the next few weeks as it won't be there next season.p
