  1. I hope so. I dont believe Eurosport do anything to raise the profile to a newer audience. Towards the end of the GPs, Kelvin was forever banging on about Zmarzlik and it was getting boring. I'd say he was definitely been told to big up Zmarzlik as he has commentated for years & we all know he is capable ( and has the knowledge) of talking about other things & all things Speedway. Camera work is a joke. So many times the camera has panned into a rider miles ahead about to cross the line, when behind is2/3 riders battling out for an exciting finish. You lose the moment of knowing who won the battle & its frustrating. Who wants to see a guy trundle over the line himself when 3 guys are throwing bikes at each other! BSN, Canal, Eleven Sports are far far superior
  2. Pretty sure it was Ben Wilson who had a spat with Kenni Larsen after a race, revved his bike, hopped off it and fired his bike into Kenni.
  3. Yeah, he was way off the pace. I can only think he is deliberately getting his average down so he will be a bargain next season
  4. First trip to Redcar, a fabulous set up from a club that means business. Be grateful for that. (Particularly aimed at Redcar fans moaning about situation). Berwick were ( and imo are) the better team. Borke is a steal, and when you have 2nd string of Kemp & Hume, it bodes well for Bandits. Barker in H13 was key, would King have done that?...... Probably not because he is accustomed to riding with Wright around that track...the joys of Guests though. Been a tough start for Redcar with injuries, lets not forget that. Trigger done well & looks like he is improving which is good to see.
  5. Well done to Glasgow on engaging with fans during the off season & keeping interest alive. A load of clubs out there could do with following their lead.
  6. Might do if he starts agro with other riders again
  7. Fear not for the negative Brummies fans, plenty room for a mid season Robert Lambert signing. And for those having hissyfits........ Im sure it will be such a shame for you to be seeing top tier racing this season. Be grateful your team is still running.
  8. Any ideas who your last rider is going to be?
  9. Wow. This is why I dont come on here often. Anyone with a sensible response to the actual question here? ( Thank you HGould for the only reasonable answer here) I'll be in Tenerife the 3rd week of November, so will look out my Save Our Speedway banner and pack it with my Speedo's and Ivan Mauger book. As for this quote....what part of the Canaries have you been wining and dining in to conclude that it aint cheap? Defo not the parts I frequent.
  10. Bring Speedway back on Terrestrial TV would help - never gonna happen though. NORA IOW speedway will be the future. Speedway in its purest form is predominantly boring to the non converted. Anyone watch the BSN coverage when the GB lads were in the US? How refreshing was it to have the unique races throughout the main event. BSPL ( or whoever is in charge these days) need to cough up the dough and step in. Ownership of own stadium is critical, as is that club getting revenue from food & drink sold at stadium. (Nothing wrong with giving away free tickets if the people were never coming in the first place) Riders personalities/characters and fan engagement are key drivers to the success of the sport (no pun intended) Up to date and relevant Marketing
  11. Maybe they'd just admit it in their autobiography years later. Anyone who has read Triple Crown Plus will know what I mean.
  12. Basso is a good enough and talented enough. Doesnt need to ride like that. Good for the punter to see how future meetings between the 2 riders go. Also adds to the GB v Denmark shenanigans following Woffinden-Madsen & Kerr - Palm Toft clashes lol
