British Final 2022

How many times were they in and out of that media room? Can somebody clip it up and put it to the Benny Hill music? -
UK speedway slowly dying
IainB replied to old bob at herne bay's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I don't blame them for maximising their earnings... but they could go and get another job like millions of others have to do when they have their careers ended through redundancy etc. Why should they be any different to the rest of us? -

British Final 2022

I called this before the start, Ellis to Cardiff and British Championship rerun in October. It's the common sense decision and hopefully it won't be on Eurosport and will be on a Saturday night so I'll be more inclined to actually attend. What is unacceptable though is the inability of anybody to make a decision that I reached half an hour before the start. Again the fans are at the very bottom of anybody's concerns. Which is pretty much par for the course with the current and every other regime. Eurosport running their show as if no rain was forecast at all, despite everybody saying rain is forecast didn't help things either -

I'm sure it wasn't just to annoy me -

IainB replied to IainB's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
We do like our tractors at Leicester, we even got to see it after heat 2 last night and a heat earlier than normal for an extended interval -
A common denominator with all of those you mention is Heritage/Ethnicity... I don't think it's any coincidence that Tai gets the same

Leicester vs Redcar 30/07/22 Summer Jubilee League Trophy
IainB replied to IainB's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Absolutely it can if you can watch it out of the context of it being meaningful to anything other than just Speedway racing, making your match on Friday an "official" fixture just devalues the competition completely -
Leicester vs Redcar 30/07/22 Summer Jubilee League Trophy
IainB replied to IainB's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It was just your average run of the mill meeting Lisa, which seems to be far too rare an occurrence these days, nothing to comment on like a team of guests etc. -
In slightly related news, I'm not technically minded at all... but did anybody else notice the "gizmo" attached to Max Fricke's machine? You could see it in the gap in the engine cover, a box with some red lights on it with what looked like a data cable plugged into the top. Not everybody had one... what was it? And do any other riders have one?

IainB replied to IainB's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It was strange, because as a layman the track looked in the best condition it has done all season... just didn't produce any real close Speedway racing (except 10 and 14) with riders generally strung out 20 yards between them
