Leicester vs Peterborough 06/07/23 PREMIERSHIP R2
IainB replied to IainB's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Was the ref even watching the first running of heat 6? Sedgeman goes down coming out of bend 2 because he wouldn't shut off... and Tarasenko clearly left the track and went back into the pits... all 4 back? If it was an unsatisfactory start shouldn't Tarasenko have been excluded? -

Was queuing up to get in tonight... Not sure what the correct words to use are, so forgive me if they're wrong... 2 mentally retarded men were with their carer and were being refused admission at a reduced rate. The carer was being offered a carers rate but the 2 mentally retarded chaps were being charged full price! If you're physically younger you get reduced admission but not if you're mentally younger? I know it's difficult to prove but it was not a good look at all! I saw them all coming in later on, not sure if they were charged full price or not. -

I wonder if we'll be pressuring him to not ride for his Polish club? -
After the meeting at Leicester the whole team and manager come out on the track and gather in front of the crowd on the home straight for interviews, photo's, chat's with the crowd etc. I know they've done this for a while, I've never really stayed behind before as it was a Saturday night and I had other things to get to, but I have stayed behind and listened to the rider/manager interviews this season and I must say it's something that's done excellently at Leicester and they bring the team out immediately after the last race so there's no real hanging around for it either

Sheffield v Peterborough Monday 3rd July
IainB replied to InTheDeepStuff's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
You've not seen the guy at Oxford with his leaf blower then? I remember when the budget used to extend to bags of sawdust being thrown around to soak up the water. Sadly zero effort went into getting this meeting to continue which is what we've come to expect these days -
... and also their only opportunity to see F1 in this country this year. I love my F1 but I've only been to Silverstone a couple of times, for the experience. Personally I think that F1 is a sport better watched on TV

And if they do... I doubt there'll be a single (real) fan that says I'm not going to that because it's not BSPL

It was very different times and well before my time... but wasn't Speedway in the UK on it's arse before back in the late 50's early 60's after a period of huge post war crowds? Weren't they down to about 10 or 12 clubs and some Lord carried out a report into the problems and the whole sport was reset and restructured and this led to the boom of the 70's. Now all of that could be completely wrong, others on here will know exactly what happened, I'm just piecing together bits I've remembered from reading the SS from years ago that I wasn't really that interested in, but I do believe there has been some kind of reset before, but like I said very different times

Speedway On Tv And The Internet In 2025
IainB replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
It is a lighthearted comedy show though, they never talk seriously about anything other than Football or Cricket... so unless you want Speedway mentioned in the comedy slot, you're never going to hear about it on that show unless Tai is in plugging the British GP. Didn't talkSport(2) used to have a motorsport show hosted by Andy Jaye (the guy that used to present the SGP on Eurosport) and Scott Nicholls on for a short run? -
I believe he lives in/near Long Eaton

I went to Ully's farewell today... 4 full teams, no guests, no R/R and all on a Sunday afternoon... it's the future (and the past ) -

Easy... Get your money back at the end of the season or roll it over to the next season -
