  1. Why are we having another break for track grading and again there is no track grading?!?

  3. It's a tricky one, I wonder what Wroclaw fans thought about the possibility of guests last season when they were heading into the play-offs without Woffy & Magic and with Connor Bailey & Charles Wright? It made the final if not a farce, certainly a foregone conclusion
  4. Remember that Tai fancies himself as a bit of a UFC fighter, he was trying to get something sorted out either last year or the year before with Leon Madsen, everybody else blanked him by the sounds of it. Like I mentioned his last "fight" was an unprovoked cowardly attack from behind on a fan. The name of this YouTube channel tells you all you need to know, the guy's a gypo!
  5. I've watched some of the live F1 presser's, generally they're turgid affairs, but occasionally there's language used, Fred Vasseur was rather fruity during the Las Vegas GP last year.
  6. Personally, I couldn't agree with you more, but... they do say any publicity is good publicity, rightly or wrongly. It was even mentioned during the conference, actually in Woffy's F bomb outburst bit, that the Emil/Nicholls handbags was the most viewed Speedway content online. People often say, do the talking on the track, but as Woffy doesn't seem to be able to do this anymore, he has to resort to more and more extreme tactics to gain some attention, don't forget he attacked a fan last year, shame he couldn't follow that up with a profound announcement like "When seagulls follow the trawler it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
  7. Depends, what kind of generation we're trying to attract, does this sort of language resonate with the yoof? I don't know, with the best will in the world though, Woffy is now a middle aged man.
  8. Well, I think he's very big and very clever After all, we're all talking about him (again) and that's what he wants. How many of you can remember what everybody else had to say? I must admit though I do like Jack Holder's style more, he's got the cheeky arrogance, with his finger waving and all that, just a little less X rated.
  9. What happened to Sports Insure? Are they still involved?
  10. It's probably easier to get from and back to Rawicz than it is trying to navigate the British motorway network after 10pm in 2024!
  11. Difficult to believe, i know, but actually Chris Harris was the fastest on the night! Those transponders seem about as reliable as the tyres
  12. Why do you think loads of Polish people have come to Britain to work? https://livingcost.org/cost/poland/united-kingdom Just looking at the monthly salary after tax a £15 stream here would be more like a £40 stream in Poland. I wonder how the crowds would be in Poland if they had to pay around £50 entry for every league match
  13. They did, Hagon won them all as you'd expect, nothing too note worthy, Hagon was well on the pace in Heat 4 though when he came in for Doyley
  14. I thought it was enjoyable without being a classic, one thing I did struggle with was 7 Belle Vue riders in the meeting all wearing the same race suit and throw in Woj who was wearing something very similar it was quite difficult at time to tell who was who. You have kind of answered a question I was asking myself, in I wondered how much the stream was for people not in the UK. When you factor in things like cost of living and average income, I would suspect that £15 for somebody living and working in Poland for example would be quite a stretch.
  15. When you compare it to the £4 or £5 per meeting that the season passes represent, £10-£15 does seem a bit of a rip-off for one offs, of course we don't know what Belle Vue charged for the "rights" to stream this meeting and market forces will ultimately dictate the prices of streamed meetings. Like I said earlier my trip cost me £55, take off the £15 that this would have cost me to stream and it brings it down to £40, was it worth it? Head says no, heart says YES! Sometimes life is just more than a financial transaction.
  16. That'll do it! The ref was obviously half asleep during this one as he couldn't even see that Lindgren clearly packed up causing Woj to come off in an earlier incident!
  17. As a cost cutting measure have you thought about leaving the wife at home? I've just totted up my costs for this meeting at £56.76... I wish I hadn't! So yes add another £25 and I can see where you're coming from. Arguably the line-up for this meeting is as good as you're going to see in this country this year, the 6 rider final is truly spectacular to watch and as comfortable as watching it from the home can be, you can't beat live Speedway! Horses for courses though, I was able to travel up there at the time I wanted and on my own.
