Odds On

a very poor meeting, whether it was a challenge, league or a grand prix. The grand prix's should be a product to make the sport proud and exciting for everybody to watch, regulars or newbies, last night was little more than a exhibition of following the leader. Track looked awful before the first race, pretty obvious it was going to be a one line trick track, why didn't the track staff/organisers grade and grade the track whilst the presentation of riders took place, fans at the track and watching would rather a track to be properly prepared than see a yawn fest of rider after rider waving to the crowd! After Lodz this was a major disappointment and a very poor advert for the sport. Well done to BZ and Lambert, Kurtz will again feel he has dropped points when to be brutally honest should of been standing on top spot, Woryna did well to reach the final.

some way over the top comments regarding Woryna, "deliberately fencing a fellow rider"..."going to kill somebody". The sport is desperate for characters and excitement, there's more comments on Woryna than the guy who actually won it, maybe just maybe people need to start looking outside of the current box of boring follow the leader speedway.

100% agree, just imagine if there were sixteen riders in the series just like him! There will be those who love the gaters but give me Woryna any day of the week, pure box office.

can you not make a new thread for Eastbourne?....i come on here for regular Brandon updates and have to trawl through updates on other venues.

Decent meeting... Woryna is box office, tough as old nails and doesn't give an inch, he certainly brightens the GP series up. Kurtz will look back on that GP and will admit it was his to lose, he had the plum draw but was out ridden by Lambert. BZ looked way down on speed but is still joint leader in the series, Lambert is lurking in the shadows.

BSN commentators lovefest with the Lions riders and team manager is a tad gringy

Interesting reading the comments regarding the Poole track, they seem very unfounded and unwarranted...The Poole track has always been consistent, nothing has changed since the days of Schofield, Crump, Rossiter etc the only thing that has changed is that nowadays it is the likes of Lawson and Cook.

with the lovely beautiful weather we are having....will be very disappointed if we don't see dust before heat five and the Dorset blue line around heat eleven.

so who was happy with the result?... i doubt the Belle Vue promoters as it would of cost a fortune with that tally of home points....Belle Vue fans, good home win but the the lack of real close racing was at a bare minimum....BSN viewers, as above....Foxes promoters and fans, poor display by the team.

why the criticism for a new venture in Northampton is beyond me....Lets look at some of the facts. The stadium is mainly built around cars, no cars equals no speedway, now if that means there are times when the track isn't up to it then that's the nature of the beast I'm afraid, far from ideal but unless you have a purpose built speedway facility then that's what the Foxes have too work with. The promoters were late to the party in terms of team building, it's not rocket science that the team isn't strong enough, take a look at the other side of the coin if the Foxes weren't in the league. Instead of fans getting on the backs of a new organisation who are willing to take a financial risk why not try and get behind them...then again if you listen to some on here speedway is already in the final throngs of existence and appear to thrive on that negative mentality.

Hard riding?..yes.....dirty riding?...not in a million years! Some of us who have seen more sunsets than we would like to admit, back in the day you would get 3 or 4 instances like this in one meeting, however if there was instance of dirty riding, it would certainly kick off either on the track or in the pits, or the victim would have a notepad in the tool box with the culprits name on it...then in twelve months time fans would think "jeez that was a bit uncalled for".

please ignore i am being a d#ck..

reading the forum on a pc the font size has reduced drasticaaly...is this just my pc or common with others on here?..it is fine on ipad!

Nothing but a Ipswich win, Bomber will do very well to score anything over 8pts.

all three of them came from grass track racing.....saying that the likes of Wiggy, Kelvin Tatum were good gaters.
