A bit early for that i would have thought... we've still got that to look forward to!

UPS should be on order now

I think they're doing a CTRL ALT DEL

Picture froz for me, start delayed until 7:40 anyway apparently

Pictures gone now

Sounds gone for me

... and only 2 in August!

yes... where do all those extra people come from that have been missing all season?

Personally I see things the other way around... At the current rate I can see Speedway becoming more like a Grasstrack setup in the future with individual meetings being held up and down the country. Like stock cars

It surprises me these days that people say they don't like individual meetings as much as team meetings, team meetings made up of individuals that ride for a host of other teams not only abroad but also in this country... each to their own though

I thought previously the Pay Off places had been placed in the calendar, it's quite conceivable if we get a wet spell that the Lions won't be riding from the 6th of August until early October by the time the other teams sort their fixtures out and of course if we finish in the top 2... not ideal

Have to say it was great to see a Speedway meeting can be run in under 1 hour 45 minutes with a 10 minute parade, a 10 minute interval and both teams running R/R. A lesson many other promotions could learn from

Leicester did run against the SoN last season... but I take your point. So we could finish our fixtures on August the 6th and then...? Do you know when the Pay Offs are scheduled for? There's a KoC fixture to be crammed in somewhere IF we can beat Scunny

That's because we've been used to him in his "office" so far this season... he's a much more natural in commentary imo

Very good... but does anybody know who Berntzonsteen is? He only appeared in one race

Thanks guys

Is this still available to watch anywhere does anybody know (with English comms). I thought it'd be on Discovery+ but it's not

I wonder if we'll have a hastily arranged Late Summer Trophy & Autumn Trophy?

Just looking at the Fixture list for the remainder of the season and it's a bit of a Joke! Only 5 home fixtures left, 4 in July and only 1 in August on the 6th and then a looooong wait for the "Summer" Trophy and Pay Off places to sort themselves out... not great

They probably think he'll be so crap in Poland (again?) that he'll get dropped (again?) which will free him up to return to Lynn again?

Actually he's been better than that 14, 12, 6, 18, 10, 14, 11 in his home meetings! Which has surprised me, I suppose when you see him riding here there and everywhere coupled with the below par performances from the rest of the team sometimes his performances can become a bit of a blur.

I would suggest that the only reason he's still in the team is due to the lack of riders willing/able to ride in the UK at the moment, under "normal" circumstances he'd be long gone He said earlier in the season, just after his 18 pointer, that he's riding an engine bought for him by a sponsor. If you remember, before that he was just as bad as the rest of the team... let's hope it doesn't go pop anytime soon!

Too much trouble probably

Sadly you're probably right

Yeah... there's a load riding in the U24 league though that seem to have bypassed British Speedway altogether.
