Of course... I was forgetting that

Even cheaper when you consider the Rouble ain't worth rubbish at the moment

And therein lies the issue, visually I'd say the crowds, while they've been OK, have been down on the last couple of seasons. Is that because of a losing/drawing team or because of Thursday night racing? Probably a bit of both and a stuttering start because of the weather. I hope they're not going to break the bank in search of increased numbers based on a name that nobody outside of the sport will ever have heard of. Though if it is the Ruski we're all thinking of and not Bendybonko maybe a few more will turn out to see a World Champion... hope so

Bendybonko! YES!

This isn't from the same bloke that told you Max Fricke handed in a transfer request is it?

22nd May

Dunno... just keeps saying oops something's gone wrong, tried different browsers, and on my phone, maybe there's something wrong with my account, maybe should set a new one up. Gonna go old school and pay cash today anyway.

Maybe because the online ticketing system doesn't seem to be working (for me) anymore... I've tried to buy a ticket for this and the PCMT and wasn't able to either time. Don't know if there's a wider problem or whether it's just me. Never had a problem before this season

He does deserve a true world championship that's not heavily weighted in his favour I'll give you that.

You've missed the biggest "asterix" situation ever... the whole 2020 GP season!

Didn't it happen at the end of last season when nobody realised Tragic had got the bronze medal? It happens quite a bit with this ludicrous scoring system

Nobody knows... and if even R&R can't get it right, the ultimate test, the scoring system is not fit for purpose

I did say similar... not the same

Ah, I was watching it on discovery plus where they cut to Scott Nicholls in the pits during the ad breaks

The only time I saw Greg again was later in the evening "helping" Tragic Janowski

Watching him at work was probably one of the most entertaining things about last night... he was doing his job and he was doing it really well, British Speedway are lucky to have him onboard... I just hope it's not too late! It's amazing what a positive can do attitude and a few brushes can do! Similar to when Tai was winning his world championships and the other best rider in the world (Emil) elected not to ride in the GP series Robert "Daniel" Lambert came good in the end

Looks like they're turning Phil Morris into a cyborg! Hope he remembers to turn his camera off when he goes for a waz

This has also been built over the back of the PMA https://www.dmu.ac.uk/campus/leisure/beaumont-park.aspx You have to wonder why it wasn't built on all the wasteland outside of the PMA as was always originally intended? And why we aren't working alongside one of the city's biggest investors

It's not his land to sell though

The same kind as the piece of paper that Nicki P wrote his name on for Peterborough. If his Polish club don't think his performances are up to scratch the answer is simple, bin him off! Then he can concentrate his efforts on the Lions

... and not only not owning the tracks, increasingly clubs don't own the riders with them being at the whim of the mood a Polish promoter is in

So, do you know what happens if David Hemsley falls out of love with Speedway or god forbid something happens to him and his company is wound up or taken over?

The thing is the Leicester and Workington models are not the same. I believe the Leicester stadium is Council owned and leased back on a long term agreement. Workington on the other hand is still at the whim of a private owner and I don't want to p1ss on their parade before they've even started but nobody knows what the future holds, just look at Somerset. It only takes an offer that can't be refused to be made to the owner and you're out of a home

Personally I'm OK with it even if the rain hadn't turned up, which it has, it was certainly forecast to, a large band crossing the country. And they left it until the day of the meeting to make the decision. What annoys me is when clubs call off the day before based on a forecast of showers, which we all know can be hit and miss.

I live a mile and a half from the stadium and it rained from about 3pm to 4:30 then dried up a bit and it's currently raining again with it looking set in for the night... totally correct decision. You must feel a bit silly
