  1. Complete 5h1t show which ever way you look at it!
  2. Great! Captain misses the meeting to chase his own deluded personal dream! Personally I'd strip him of the captaincy for that! Or... was this a fixture change? If so why on earth did Leicester accept it knowing their captain would be missing?
  3. Amazing isn't it that not one so called promoter had the gumption to put an event on and promote it. I used to think that Speedway in this country would continue with American style individual meetings when league Speedway finally collapses, as it inevitably will if the closure of tracks continues at its current rate... but now I'm not so sure.
  4. Yet again last night, the best night of the year so far, weather wise... only 1 Speedway meeting on... and that was a junior match
  5. I predict a massive sun delay at around 19:45
  6. Do Leicester get a 4-2 in the final race and win on this thread?
  7. Interesting that you'd come on here to advertise your podcast (which is excellent by the way) only to slag us off on it... thanks! "Only in Speedway!"
  8. Stop being a "Keyboard Warrior" and go to the pits and ask him
  9. Wasn't Mervyn Stewkesbury the one that developed the "blueprint" for the 5h1tshow of a sport we have today?
  10. Cov rode for a season with "In it to Win it" on the back of their race jackets, around the Bob Tanser/Colin Meredith era... I think they may have finished bottom of the league!
  11. Yes, those are the ones i remember... now you've mentioned them, some new ones on me though
  12. We had a season with all teams running R/R and 18 heats(?)... it was a disaster
  13. Chris Holder used to have "Doin Eetswa" a few years back
  14. I think Erik Gundersen used to carry that too
  15. He did... isn't that the Rolling Stones logo?
  16. Like @Bagpuss said you don't see many these days but I've seen a few riders recently with "cheeky" messages. Simon Lambert has something on his bum
  17. Didn't Simon Cross have something like "Jesus Loves You"? Because of his surname I assume
  18. Good... now I've got your attention, some riders have little messages on the rear end of their race suits. Any that spring to mind (past or present) and maybe the meaning "behind" them? Scott Nicholls has "put her on Kevin!" on the back of his suit? What's that all about?
  19. Don't forget Laguta is coming to Leicester
  20. Hans has been a loyal servant to British Speedway when many have disappeared. He may not be the rider he once was but if you take him for what he now is you know he's going to be there for fixtures when many others won't be
  21. His usual co-commentator for GP's. Last years league coverage had him with a different co-commentator each week. Scott really should have been with him in the "box" as it was pretty pointless him standing in front of a large TV doing more or less what could have been done from the box
  22. It's been the same for the last 23 years though, we MUST see the winner cross the line and we MUST see the scorecard result after the race, it doesn't matter if all hell is breaking loose elsewhere on the track we MUST see those 2 things... and when a rider or a team win something meaningful we MUST cut to the crowd for their reaction... even if it's one man and his dog waving a flag of that riders country! I've noticed even BSN are starting to fall into this trap
