I'm going to Leicester though... how can we be at 2 different places at once?

@TTT is worth 8 of us though... I'm going to miss his posts on every clubs thread with his mock 1-7's 😉😂

Because it's 2026 and not 1986

👋 Surely the likes of Dan Thompson can't make a living from watching Speedway sat in the pits in Poland? And he needs to remember that when signing his contracts.

Crowds will probably return for the pay offs (the effort matches)... and who can blame them? Where's the jeopardy in the rest of the league meetings when the top 4 in a league of 6 qualify🤷‍♂️ It's truly laughable! Although, perversely, the injury to Jack Holder has probably made Sheffield's season a bit more interesting with King's Lynn on their heels for the final pay off slot.

He's had a bit of a nibble 🤬

Does this mean you'll be leaving the forum? 🤞😉

I'll still attend, probably until the bitter end, but I'll no longer be attending matches where a rider has decided that he'd rather be elsewhere. Dan Thompson did that when Lions visited Sheffield earlier in the year and I made my protest then by not attending. Injuries are part and parcel of the sport, but riders not showing for their clubs due to riding or being sat in the pits elsewhere is the final straw for me. The reasons why attendances are down are numerous and have all been discussed ad infinitum across this forum, so I'm not going to rehash them

Wasn't serious though was it? Thought he was thinking about riding last night? I don't know to be honest

... and it's not about filling the stands, it's about not making a loss 👍🏻

Just as likely to get 1+1 on Thursday... it was either him or any other Fox or Ace based in the UK though so slim pickings really for those that can perform around Foxhole... I wonder if they asked Doyley 🤔 😉

Klindt for Jack Holder 😂😂😂😂

What's the track like?

To be fair his kit may be top notch, we don't really know, but it's often not been cleaned 🤷‍♂️

It's not a rumour... you only have to turn up and watch him often come out for heat 1 with dirty bikes and race suit... fair play to him though he scores the points... which makes you wonder whether all the meticulous lengths a lot of the other riders go to, especially at the lower levels is really worth it?

Don't forget you can purchase the PPV through a VPN (Europe) for 14.99 (£13.28) euros 👍

It'd be interesting to compare that to a Richard Lawson Vlog 😂

Same here... I've been "flying solo" since the 2018 season

Oi! Be a little more grateful... it was us who have given you your only win so far this season! 😉

"That's all she wrote"... does my head in!

Yes, they have 😁

... and who's going to spaff £100k on Speedway sponsorship, look at last night on BSN it was a Rowe Motor Oil Premiership meeting and unless you heard it mentioned by the commentator at the very start of the transmission you wouldn't have known it. No prominent banners, no sponsor board for any of the interviews conducted 🤷‍♂️ Or come and sponsor Leicester along with JCB and you'll get a couple of banners on the in-field... face down.

Which is exactly why they should have gone one league this year without the "GP Stars"... they're just not replaceable when they get injured, where as if a Lawson or Bomber got injured it'd be far easier to tempt a Lahti/Bellago level rider over for cover. Still, they've made their bed and now they have to lie in it.
