Play offs are OK, IF... the league is big enough and they're completed in a timely manner, neither of which happens in Speedway. This season we have a 6 team top league and 4 play off places, which makes the whole league programme more or less a waste of time especially when you have the top 4 spots pretty much concreted by June! Then in the CL we have clubs who have not qualified seasons over by the end of August and those in the top 2 waiting around for everybody else to complete their fixtures and get their play offs done and a 6 week hole in their season. We seem to have the worst of both worlds

I'd like to see staggered restarts but only after the ref has excluded a rider. It's almost a discussion for a different thread. But I'd like to see riders rerun a race in the positions they were in at the time of the stoppage to disincline riders from committing the "professional foul"

Seems to happen with most brothers in Speedway, they seem to come as a job lot, probably to do with support resources I would have thought

"Peterborough Speedway would like to thank supporters for their patience whilst the discussions were ongoing prior to the abandonment. The meeting is declared as a result with ten races having been completed, with Sheffield 32-28 winners, and as a club we will do all we can to help supporters who attended the meeting." ... Still waiting

I went to the semi and final at Peterborough last year and there was no increase in admission price for either

But we've entered a "new era"... of poor promotion and low crowds

Yep, we finished top of it

OK... how about, Ryan Douglas is crap and should be binned?

I'm glad you've come around to my way of thinking

I think I've worked it out... you're a wind up merchant

How do you explain the fact that he's put 1.5 points on his average this year if he's so "crap"? Are there many other riders that have improved so much this season?

That's fair enough, we're all entitled to our opinions... just don't know why you'd come on here and rubbish a podcast you'd not listened to.

A 2022 average of above 5 isn't too bad is it? Put 1 and a half points on his starting average... he'd be knocking on the door of being a heat leader at some clubs!

After 2 consecutive fiasco's... Sam Ermolenko comes to town

Some miserable old buggers on here... somebody has taken the time and trouble to create some extra Speedway content for fans to listen to, costing him time (and probably money), just comes on here to publicise it and all anybody can do is be negative about it. If you don't want to listen to this FREE podcast, don't download it, move along. Why would you not want to listen to Dan Bewley talk about his maiden GP win and his career in Speedway? How about giving it a listen before condemning it? Come on cheer up fellas, you're better than this

He did very well on Wednesday, much better than I expected... but by my reckoning he's ridden his bike competitively 3 times in the last month

How many times has Joe been on a bike in the last month?

This sounds like domestic abuse... you should be ashamed of yourself!

Google podcasts is working, mine downloaded this morning

I think watching Speedway while p1ssed might actually make some of the goings on more palatable

but 250cc engines already exist... do 500cc 2 valve Jawa's? I don't know

Not really comparable, Poland have proper teams their fans can identify with... we don't know who's going to turn up from one week to the next!

I caught up with the SGP3 last night and it reminded me of the sport I fell in love with in the late 70's... maybe 250's are the way to go?

Was non alcoholic bubbly at the SGP3 last weekend, which I caught up with last night, the best Speedway I've seen in a long long time!

I can't believe what I've just seen! I've just managed to catch up with this after hearing good reports and I must say it was one of the most entertaining Speedway meetings I think I've ever seen... it was much more like the sport I fell in love with in the the late 70's. I'd love to see a full meeting with the senior's riding these 250cc machines, don't suppose it'll ever happen though. Well done to Axeman jnr!
