Shut up, go to work and pay your taxes!

As far as I remember Ward was banned for a full year from August to August (ish)

Mugs Lane?

Oh no, please god, not again!

On no, please god, not again!

Gutted at hearing this news, I was under the impression this was signed and sealed the way they were talking earlier in the year... seems about as watertight as Birmingham's "verbal" agreement they have with their landlords for next year!

That's good for British (world) Speedway as it's the start of the decline of Polish Speedway. Soon their fans will realise they're starting to be mugged off

Don't really care tbh, it's a sporting integrity issue

I've not been following this too closely, but correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the landlords build a new track which was used for a while before Covid hit, then it was the promotion that elected not to run in 2021 & 2022. Is there something other than the promotion not electing to run stopping Speedway from running in Swindon?

Nothing! BSPL should step in and either give Poole a bye or order a postponement due to understrength team. It maybe in the interests of Poole to run tonight but it's not in the interests of the sport imo

It's made a mockery of the WHOLE league season for Plymouth! As if it wasn't farcical enough with the Ed Kennett situation. What's the incentive for the fan to turn out week in week out to qualify for a play off... then this?

Ben Trigger has done well to get that 8.00 average! 1 Rider Replacement 3.73 (the total of the other 6 riders divided by 6)2 Ben Morley 5.073 Ben Trigger 2.004 Anders Rowe 5.215 Dillon Ruml 5.476 Lee Complin 3.087 Connor Coles 1.56 Total Combined GSA Rolling Average: 26.12 This match should be postponed due to Plymouth fielding an understrength team

about 2 or 3 weeks ago on a Twitter poll about the CL points scoring system

I saw at least 2, wearing Anlas coats at least, unless they brought some free "merch" over with them

It did look like there were a few people from Anlas in the pits on Monday night with a lot of scrutiny of tyres going on in between races

Will still be a drawn out affair thanks to TV... I'll probably make the trip though, it'll be like the good old days at Cov

To be fair I do like and prefer the Live experience... but I must say that the way televised matches draaaaaag on with no regard for the attending spectator doesn't encourage people along

Belle Vue produces consistently the best racing week in week out on possibly the best Speedway race track in the world yet can't get anywhere near filling the place. Not surprising really when they stage their event on a night when most people can't get to it.

I know the British like to talk about the weather but this must be the longest thread ever about the topic!

I think the Birmingham head said they were getting 300-500

They'll be in for a shock when they turn up and find out they're out in heat 1!

If the super heat is to stay I'd like to see the format changed so you can't use the same riders as used in heat 15, makes it more of a team effort

Somebody ought to have told the ref!

Think he was checking his tyre was still on!

I thought there was a maximum allowable time for riders taking 2 on the trot?
