  1. Sadly we'll never know but how many World titles would Darcy Ward have had by now. Bartek has certainly been fortunate in the era he has ridden
  2. Done! If everybody who has viewed this on Twitter donated £0.52 they'd be there already
  3. That's what they say about it on the Hawksbee & Jacobs show on talksport... it's a sport for people who don't like sport
  4. Yes we saw about 10 seconds of it on Discovery+ Tony Rickardsson is behind it you know. And when Jamil was pictured in the crowd waving the trophy aloft he was completely ignored by the commentators. But Tony Rickardsson is behind it you know
  5. Phil Morris said on the podcast that a new promoter was in place but he wasn't going to name who it was... this was directly after talking about how he wanted to be transparent about the King's Lynn situation!
  6. 2 questions: 1) What are the race suits made of these days? They seem to tear more easily than they used to, I thought they were made from Kevlar 2) Who is the highest paid sportsman in Poland these days? I've got a gap in my records since Tony Millard left us
  7. Well done Dan after a tough week pulls a move as classy as Lindgren's was reckless
  8. Great race from Tai... thought I'd mention it as no one else has, sorry to interrupt the drone chat
  9. Oh I totally agree with this, it's never going to happen, not in a million years
  10. I can't completely agree or disagree with you either as I'm not technically minded at all when it comes to machinery, we can agree that today's 500cc machines are too powerful though. Not so sure about the size of the rider though, Mikkel Andersen was bigger than his dad! Take your point though... I know I've seen the last 2 SGP3 meetings, last years was the best speedway racing olIb think I've ever seen anywhere, and the performance of the bikes was a lot closer to those of the 70's & 80's where they appeared to be operating at max performance for the size of the track, you get the feeling that today's machines would be more suited to the long tracks.
  11. If he's suspended from British Speedway only at the moment, what would happen if he's found to be guilty of whatever charge is being made against him, would any ban imposed be worldwide or just for the UK?
  12. Have you seen the 250cc racing? I truly believe this is the way the sport in the UK should be heading. The bikes look a hell of a lot more rideable, watching the kids ride them yesterday they were having no bother at all, imagine what the experienced riders could do on them and they're not that much slower than the 500's
  13. Rumour has also said that Laguta was going to Leicester and Hans Andersen had left Peterborough
  14. I wonder what the haters will have to say about this? @chrismorton I may end my KL ban for KL's next home match
  15. It's a statement isn't it, it's saying look we're big time, don't look at the events we hold in forests in the middle of nowhere, this is big event, big stadium stuff, get the fans into this and they may be more inclined to travel to the arse end of Germany to have a look at what's going on there... it's basic marketing stuff
  16. Major event? Held on a Friday afternoon in a forest somewhere in Sweden... in front of a meagre crowd? I agree it's good move to have this meeting broadcast but let's not kid ourselves it's a major event. I don't quite get how WBD seem to be promoting SGP3/4 as feeder events, do they really think that riding in one meeting 1 or 2 meetings a year will get you into SGP?
  17. I don't know the ins and outs of the bidding process but I assume that any other parties IMG and or One Sport were simply out bid by the might of WBD on their spending spree to pick up sports to fill air time (when they choose to) on their new TNT Sports channels.
