FAST GATER

I want to see 7 El riders no protected heats for my money ,the draft is money saving nothing more "smoke& mirrors" !!!!

Simple if you have enough British riders who are good enough to ride in the EL but you don't ,all the moaning because Garrity actually wants to do what the system is setup to achieve merely exposes it for what it is a Farce .Lets have seven EL riders and the two lowest averaged riders at reserve and stop pretending in a couple of years we will have copious amounts of BRITISH talent coming out of our ears !!!!

FTR is and always has been a joke the system is complete nonsense !!!!

Simple scrap FTR and go back to the old format if the EL is to have any credibility as the top british league !!!

PK will end up at 2or4 you can't knock wolves for working the system for short time and if you have read any of my posts on the FTR system I am not remotely a fan as IMO it is the epitome of idealism at best or just money saving take your pick. Pk isn't just any foreigner who preys on the EL in an opportunist way or a GP rider filling the gaps in his calendar he has raced here for the best part of 25yrs ,so if he is able to pick up a few extra bob for his retirement fund I for one don't begrudge him a penny .

Your right a couple of years ago Bech looked the real deal now his career just seems to have stalled ,IMO PK is still a better rider and if he is a s/string should score a fair few points If he scores well a s/string in the EL at his age then I think that's all we can ask and I am sure he can still pull off the odd big race win

Hope scores plenty of points and stays injury free

MY biggest problem are fans who call riders "gating tarts " ANYONE who races a s/way bike in anger is anything but a tart believe me !!!

That maybe so but his GP series has done serious damage to it over the years not least destroying weekend speedway at EL level in this country ,so maybe his words are somewhat "hollow" to say the least !!

John Jackson has got to be up there !!!

11 from 5 last night for PK and the opposition was at least EL standard !!!

i beg to differ IMO provided everyone has the ability to roll how can it be cheating ? the ONLY penalty should be for breaking the tapes and no way should flyers be brought back especially under the current rules.The Refs used to know the rollers and it was a duel between them which added another dimention to the sport ,I believe that the like of Olsen ,Mauger and Kilby woud still have been the riders they were today even under the current rules ,riders can either "gate " or not regardless of the rules .

Is PK still using one in Swedish league IMO a lot of the improvement of the GTR is down to his imput which impacted on his EL scoring last season .

I was never put off going to speedway because of the starts ,I didn't considered it time wasting just part and parcel of the whole spectacle and hugely entertaining nothing better than seeing a top riders sent back to the pits for tape breaking .

Too right I loved it ( bit like marmite ) sheer theatre between riders out foxing each other often the starts were better than the race itself .

Great that the first EL match is over and I am sure that things will get better and better looking forward to many years of speedway in a first class setting .

Points money not all riders can afford not score to the best of their ability but I do think that the present method works

Was this not his first meeting of the season maybe a little "ring rusty" IMO would still be the best s/string in the EL

peanuts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really pleased for all concerned we now have a track that befits a team like the Aces and there long heritage looking forward to visiting many times in the future . Armstrong should be plying his trade in the PL IMO

You forgot ridiculous financial demands as well !!!!

So glad you had a great meeting i am so pleased for Mort & co hopefully B/vue will become one of best tracks in s/way now all the teething problems are behind you .

Could not agree more

Sorry is this a broadcast on behalf of the BSPA FTR is just to save money TODAY and will do nothing for the sport except haste it's demise !!!!

Will Tai be racing at 45yrs old never mind beating the current w/camp because we must remember he is feeling the pace( as he keeps telling us in his mid 20's) say what you like TG put on an amazing show
