Don't forget Hinge & Bracket's appearance at Wolverhampton!

After your posts on Tuesday I'd choose a different weather forecast app if I were you 😜😂

Due to clear by 7pm.

Bomber! Going for a world championship next weekend, hit the deck tonight, has had a poor night but still fronts up in front of the camera with a very honest assessment... meanwhile we're still waiting to hear from the Belle Vue captain after last night 🤔

3-3 strong 💪

Edinburgh must be commended for having a light on their tractor... unfortunately it's not flashing as per the requirement of SCB Reg 05.1.8 It maybe Glasgow's last chance if they were to point this out to The Weasel

I've been hearing all week how special the Edinburgh/Glasgow derbies are... I've seen better tbf

"He's getting pumped in front of the Glasgow Tigers fans"

That was my nickname at school 😂

Another semi final spectacle ruined thanks to no track covers 🤷‍♂️

Absolute idioting amateur hour!

Scoring system shines again!

The save Coventry crew won't be running the speedway though Cedric from Poole will be and I can't see him being interested in Northampton or surely he would have already done something.

May have been wise to have waited at least for the rain to have passed though, seems pointless to have had track covers on and then take them off as soon as it starts to rain, or did fireman Phil want a flooded track 🤔

I thought they had the track covers on?

There's a yellow weather warning in place for Leicester on Monday, we should do a Poole, call it now and get the 2nd leg 😁

tbf the Ippo merch is pretty uninspiring... I've never got on with their black and day glo yellow colours

Piotr Pawlicki and Oskar Polis? 😁

Bizarrely, some BV fans seem to love that though 🤷‍♂️

Reminded me of Ashton Boughen!

I do think there are solutions but nobody brave enough to implement them

Greater Manchester has a population of 3m on the doorstep of the National Speedway Stadium but couldn't attract a crowd for a POSF... no doubt there'd be some novelty to the opening of a new track but inevitably crowds would eventually drop off.

Some of the riders with certain attitudes are a cancer in our sport and like all cancers they need removing. To have riders minds (and often bodies) elsewhere is not what the fans pay to watch. There's no buy in from many of the riders and if they don't buy in why should the fans? Come and support your team... but your Captain is really only interested in another competition, your number 1 earns more money on a Sunday in another country so won't be riding on the Saturday night... and there's far too many examples to continue to list on here, we all know what goes on. I DO NOT blame the riders, they have to do what is right for themselves as self employed participants but in effect they are competing businesses! But are there any other team sports that operate with self employed participants? Like I said in an earlier post, riders should be salaried employees it's the only way to get buy in. I know it will never happen and for that reason team Speedway will probably die a lingering death. The days of understanding that your rider had bigger things on his mind are now unfortunately a luxury of the past and has probably, in part, led to the dwindling crowds we see today. It's just not acceptable in todays age of league only Speedway.

It'll never happen but riders should probably be salaried, this would solve a lot of issues.

So much entertainment that you don't attend your local track until it's play off time, I don't blame you for that, it's your choice, the sport needs to be making you want to attend every week though.
