  1. What charity? 3rd behind Denmark and Australia in their SoN semi, 5 points ahead of the Czechs. They're there by merit.
  2. I didn't even know Ukraine had that many speedway riders.
  3. What a way to spend a Friday evening. If only the weather had been perfect all day...
  4. Leicester gone strength in depth but without much strength, and no depth.
  5. It's just another stupid rod that British speedway has made for its own back. Nobody is going to be bothered if Edinburgh get a guest for Dan Thompson - it's the BSN Series, effectively challenge meetings - but the rules say one thing and they decide to do another. Either enforce the rules as they are, or accept they need looked at and change them to better reflect reality.
  6. I thought Linda had done another video...
  7. Promoters have a long history of working together for the greater good, putting aside any differences to ensure the right outcome. I'm sure it'll go just perfectly...
  8. Blimey, never mind just the rider's health, 10% of that amount could do wonders for the sport's health!
  9. Any chance you can tell us how Northampton's first season went?
  10. Woffinden has apparently been promised a WC for next season, provided he rides well and avoids injury this year. I don't think they've learned anything.
  11. While I agree with your general point, I'd be interested to know what has made the biggest difference. Is it all of the additional fitness, psychology, etc., etc. or is it just the fact we now have 2 genuinely world class riders in an era where the top competition is a pairs one? Maybe the 2 go hand in hand, and Lambert and Bewley are where they are because of all the extras, but I think they'd probably be there regardless. We've won 2 SoN titles since its inception (one which was a bit fortuitous). It's an improvement on the past but it's about what you'd expect with the riders we have.
  12. The ticket prices don't bother me because I won't be going anyway. I do think it's mental that a child will be charged £93 more than another child sitting 10ft away. They'd probably argue (rightly) that people don't have to pay it, which is fair, but what are you actually getting for your £93 extra?
  13. You say it's incredible but we should've seen it coming a mile off. As said, Premiership teams can fill their 3-7 with decent riders who are subsidised by Championship clubs, and Championship clubs can get 1/5s who are subsidised by their Premiership club. Everyone* benefits at the same time as saving every club some cash. It's the sort of thing speedway promoters dream of. *aside from fans, who have to watch the sport slowly wain over years and years.
  14. Although it is south of the Watford Gap, so he could make home meetings.
  15. The "professional" bit is no doubt the defence we'll hear (if we hear anything). It's also strange that the rule was brought in, yet how many riders have made comebacks? I think it's a good idea, but you'd have thought they'd heard whispers of at least a handful of riders wanting to come back. Seems not.
  16. Waiting on Kathy Lloyd to join Cameo and do the video.
  17. https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/1233187/zuzel-wazna-decyzja-bradyego-kurtza-az-trudno-uwierzyc The Australian signed a contract with Belle Vue Aces , thus becoming the Briton's club partner. From the top eight of the World Championship, Jack Holder and Robert Lambert will also be seen competing for Great Britain. Must be Ipswich, surely.
  18. Come on, they're going to do something very special for the 500cc winner...doubtless including a nice sweetener to ride for Glasgow (if they're half decent). In the Glasgow sponsored Championship no less.
  19. I agree, but they were always going to take every possible precaution to ensure the big 4 are in Warsaw. Daft.
  20. Really? Germany don't have a single GP standard rider. If we can't beat a team of (probably) Huckenbeck, Blodorn, Riss and Wolbert on any track in the world, there needs to be serious questions asked. It's only the astronomically unlikely situation of Australia winning the SON, being seeded to a final already containing Poland, then Denmark/GB miraculously avoiding each other in the draw, that led to the likely final. Who knows what it could've been otherwise.
  21. That's alright, they'll be no worse off than 90% of other clubs in that case 😁
