Because they've only got an extra 30 minutes to prep the track in probably the hottest conditions of the year, a track that's reportedly been a bit on the dodgy side all year and with kicking off at 8 it may bring the curfew into play if there's any faffing about

Will they be supplying deck chairs and free ice cream?

Where have you been... did you miss the big announcement across all the media outlets?

Yes, the start has been put back by 30 minutes to allow for extra track work as they can't get on there until after 6pm, because of the doggies... doesn't bode well

I must admit I thought this thread would be a bit busier today, perhaps people have just given up... All of what you say is absolutely spot on of course... how many times do you hear the phrase "circumstances totally beyond our control"? They'll probably wheel that one out for the re-wiring of the starting tapes, coming up with some excuse about how it's the stadium owners responsibility. If it's effecting your business, you sort it out! Reading the match report on the Sheffield website, it was just bad luck, so there you go.

Now I may have misremembered, but when I attended my first match at Leicester back in the 1977 season the admission price was £0.75, if you run that through an inflation calculator it equates to that being around £5.75 in today's money. To go to watch a film at the cinema, you can watch any film at any time for £4.99. The price of going to Speedway has spiralled out of control

Yeah I know, but there are some people on here insinuating that Glasgow just take who they want, it takes two (or 3 of you include the rider) to tango

Puk replacement

Have they snapped him up as well?

I thought Basso was a Poole asset and they decided not to use him because of Danish commitments on a Wednesday night? So Poole let him go to Glasgow As an asset of the club they can refuse to loan the rider out and demand a full transfer fee

One: "any adhoc Speedway", regardless of credibility, integrity, or relevance... NO! I won't have this, we have the Jubilee Trophy! How relevant is that! much better than the irrelevant Summer Trophy... which appears to have never existed. Secondly: we have tracks doing "their very best", some tracks don't even do their very best, they just expect people to turn up. Thirdly: Although Speedway GB Team has achieved well deserved success in the SoN, the rest of the time they only seem to ride on the continent with a rag tag bunch of riders who are available. A proper national team has first call on ALL of their riders and hold proper test matches home and abroad. Successful sports have successful leaders in charge... don't forget we have the Scummy centre green presenter running things from his caravan in deepest darkest Lincolnshire making things up as he goes along to suit his own club, which ain't bad when compared to Liberty Media running their F1 operation from a tent in Denver or the Premier League directing operations from a Nissen Hut next to Paddington station

I thought that if he signed for Berwick first in this country, he's their asset and won't be going anywhere without Berwick's say so. It won't be any fault of Glasgow's if he ends up there next season, Berwick will have sold him or loaned him out... that's if the asset system is the same as it's always been.

If he's signed for Berwick why would Glasgow be snapping him up? I don't get it?

Summers punching the air there as his team gift another league point to the Bandits

Not as much as the Cheetahs! They've pressed the self destruct button. Brilliant!

Brilliant! Now I'm sure Lee Kilby is a nice bloke, he really seems it... But... The Edinburgh match last week... Brilliant! The Berwick match... Brilliant! Berwick, bottom of the league... Brilliant! I wish somebody would tell him not everything is Brilliant... BRILLIANT!

New signing soon according to JP on the BSPL podcast

12 days I think, could be wrong, defo more than 7 though

Yes Yes 4 Dan Thompson R/R 4.97

A reminder that start-time is 6.30pm. CHAMPIONSHIP: WATLING JCB LIONS v EDINBURGH LEICESTER 1 Nick Morris 9.13 2 Connor Mountain 5.43 3 Richie Worrall 8.53 4 Dan Thompson R/R 4.97 5 Kyle Howarth (c) 8.47 6 Max Clegg 4.52 7 Joe Thompson 3.92 EDINBURGH 1 Sam Masters (c) 9.61 2 Lasse Fredriksen 4.00 3 Kyle Thomson 6.07 4 Paco Castagna 5.72 5 Josh Pickering 7.75 6 Jacob Hook 4.00 7 James Sarjeant 3.93 NDL: LEICESTER LION CUBS v ARMADALE LEICESTER 1 Alfie Bowtell (g) 9.93 2 Mickie Simpson 4.50 3 Connor Cole’s 8.74 4 Tom Spencer 5.83 5 Joe Thompson (c) 8.71 6 Vinnie Foord 3.86 7 Max Perry 3.00 ARMADALE 1 Lee Complin 6.94 2 Josh Embleton 4.33 3 Tom Woolley (c) 6.77 4 Elliot Kelly 4.19 5 Danny Phillips 6.54 6 Gregor Millar 3.00 7 Lewis Millar 3.00 Leicester not named a No 8 despite using R/R and the Cubs also on site, hope they don't come to regret that. Armadale look exceptionally weak despite tracking star of the future Lee Complin. Could be a long one with a sun delay, though the forecast at the moment says cloud cover on Saturday night.

It's funny that pure statistics don't always tell the whole story, the one that caught my eye Kyle Howarth 7.13 9.38 -2.25 Hans Andersen 5.97 8.19 -2.22 On the face of it you'd say that Hans has had a disaster of a season, but Kyle a great season

if it's against KL... probably yes

Wouldn't worry about London too much, it's basically a different country to the rest of the UK... British Speedway may not have an app, but it does have an excellent podcast, very 2022!

Not every rider goes round shooting his mouth off that no one can beat him when he's at his best though, occasionally you have to back those words up with actions. Don't get me wrong I'm a big Tai fan (although he lets himself down sometimes) and all he HAS done. Still hope he's got a few competitive years left in him yet

DO not expect any reply from any speedway promotion!
