  1. Some good advice from matt fraud? It's about time speedway was shut down for good. Individual speedway only.
  2. So will Glasgow be questioning this medical certificate with the authorities??
  3. Far too many happy clappers in speedway, but it's okay, it will all come good in the end. IN GED WE TRUST
  4. Thought Jack changed his flights out of his own pocket??? I remember reading that on here or somewhere just the other day. Never mind jack...everyone still loves ya.
  5. Ha ha okay. Same as most speedway supporters now .
  6. A very scantily dressed women with a flag, preferably under a certain age?
  7. What about a women with a flag?? Don't want to be sexist Most sports don't have as much problems
  8. You just proving my point why it's unfair, some get away with it and some don't. A transponder is a device the sends a signal to a box, you can get them for as little as just over 20 quid. If you anticipate., then it doesn't matter if you can see magnets or not. Riders start behind tapes..run to bikes and have le mans style starts
  9. Mmmmm🤔 I think I shall stick to my transponder idea
  10. You do realise with different rider set up the bikes are different lengths? Only matters about the bar obviously
  11. Nobody is forced to race, but I would like to see them get paid more. I've also done types of racing that could end in serious injury or death and didn't think about it and for no money at all, it's just the thrill and buzz that racing gives.
  12. No one ever anticipates the quick release, only ever the the 2 or 3 second release
  13. Some riders earn more a night than I earn a month..and good luck to them.
  14. Whatever they get paid isn't enough for putting your future health and life on the line everytime they take to the track
  15. Each track has 14 and a box ..simple Or just keep speedway in the dark ages...just as simple
  16. What I said and mean is..someone will anticipate perfectly and will still be pulled back. So just use a bit of technology to help, it's not that difficult.
  17. If you allow anticipating, it's still open not ideal, ref will let some go that he thought were anticipated but were actually jumped and some pull back some for a jump that were not. Transponders are the best solution in my mind. Or a different way of starting races. The worst ones are when a rider clearly mucks his start up and only hinders himself, but the ref stops it and gives him another go, does that happen in any other motor sport?? Not that I've seen.
  18. Trouble with allowing movement as long as don't touch tapes is..there is only one ref. He can't watch all 4 at same time. And they probably won't pick up the slightest of touches. So after a race a replay shows a rider did touch tapes..what then??? At least with a light going off its pretty obvious someone moved. Cos the light will stil be on and one of the riders isn't on the line anymore. Another problem with speedway and maybe one of its biggest, is most of the supporters live in the past and don't like change. And it's it's time for a change people. If ya gonna stick to tapes, it should be any movement and you are out. No warning or anything. Once it hits the pocket the riders will soon learn to sit still.
  19. Okay okay I meant as it is now. Red lights on off.
