Considering that anyone half decent seems wedded or linked to Poland then it'd certainly not even be a British style top standard to allow Sunday running.

It's annoying to opposition fans as well. Pointless heats. Can't call them races with riders to the standard of those named (no disrespect but they are out of their depth, well Bowtell especially despite somehow winning heat 8) as replacements.

Have you ever thought of entering politics? With that kind of logic you're certainly well qualified for the job

Made me chuckle when Rathbone said that you can't beat speedway under lights. Certainly no chance of that on a Sunday afternoon.

Usual speedway big secret then

I wasn't and didn't start it, was just making a couple of general points. I'm not fussed either way.

Speculation usually informs much quicker.

Problem being that March to October no longer applies to all which is why it's more a recent problem.

Didn't think that it's possible to miss anything coming out of that PA. My ears have just stopped ringing.

I just take a blank one and fill it in using initials when teams eventually get annouced amongst the waffle.. It used to be easy to be right most of the time pre meeting but it's just not worth the effort these days.

But don't forget your coat and a warm drink for your summer sport

Sunday speedway, you can't beat it!

Said it enough times so I don't think anyone listens. Any PA announcements can't be heard in the stand when bikes are on track which is why no riders should leave the pits until the line-up has been announced. Haven't noticed the DJ tbh but doesn't bother me and seems ok. Can't say the same for the pre meetng interviews.

Problem is presentation has gone backwards and become secondary compared to what it was (and that's not pining for the good old days. It's just that it wasn't broken and hasn't improved) and atmosphere is virtually non-existent. Yes it may be reasonable for big matches but for the bread and butter meetings it'd not take anyone's breath away. When you think that copious amounts of interviews are the answer then you're struggling!

our local rag says "Panthers go to Birmingham on Wednesday (September 12) for an inter-league challenge. Both clubs will track six-man sides with the sport’s bosses understood to be considering that format for all meetings next season.

Ignore it Rodders, he's got previous and a big chip weighing him down on one side.

It was over yesterday. That's a six week injury minimum unless he wants to do further damage to extend any recovery period.

Most teams I've seen this year already do, so does 6 mean 5 in reality.

Would have been a good question 13 months ago but it's been looked at and dealt with by the authorities (and debated on forums) so not sure where you're going with this. Time to move on or get your open would stitched up because it's clearly not healing after a year or more.

"recent history suggests that if there is one bloke not to ask a question"

Just advised that it was worth the risk which brings us back to the original point.

Must be a northern concept.

Definition of speedway these days. Do bus trips still exist

Who said it isn't a good thing. The question is what's the qualifying criteria. It's a great sport badly organised. Blaming people for picking fault when I'm sure that the majority would rather not isn't particularly helpful.

Seems a fair point though. Speedway's so good at giving people ammunition irrespective of the circumstances.
