You're bloody obsessed with commentators! BSN are looking for a new presenter if you fancy it?

Why do BSN always cut away from a crash so quickly? What's wrong with them? -

Was brilliant for Leicester too when we had him, shame his tv commitments got in the way of him returning for us... and of course he did miss a Saturday night match for us when he elected to do tv work instead... so let's say 109% -

5.1.8 Track Preparation Equipment As detailed on the Homologation Certificate, must be available in working order. Vehicles must be fitted with rotating flashing hazard warning lights. Well, it's fitted but not switched on 🚨 -

Can't help but think Richard Lawson would have been better off staying with Leicester this season, he's dropped a point on his average. -

Super Heat - Why its not right!!
IainB replied to dontforgetthefueltapsbruv's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
While not particularly caring one way or the other, one thing I will say is that a number of people have mentioned a home advantage, I'd say that if an away team has achieved a draw then that team will be pretty "dialled in" as they say and there has been no real "home advantage". The aggregate bonus point home advantage is a different matter though! -

Same here about Jimmy Savile, I worked with somebody that used to work for the police and she said they knew about Savile, that was in the year 2000 she told me that and he wasn't outed until 2012 Anyway back to the Speedway -
JT signed for the rest of the season.

It very much depends on which way the wind is blowing

Numbers wise it seems closer to the current Leicester team, though that does have a big hitter in Fricke, somebody capable of winning heats 13 & 15 and generally beating the opposing teams number 1, that's all Lynn are short of really. The legacy teams in the PL Ippo, Sheffield, BV have all managed to build with some astute signings, of the 3 newcomers only Leicester have really managed to compete thanks to the signing of Fricke. For Lynn, since Lambert left they've made some poor signings in Laguta & Musielak (tbf who knew that Musielak would do what he did) as number 1's... and don't really have one this season.

Yes, I'm one of those that have proposed it. That then does at least then make it more of a "team" effort. -
Birmingham v Sheffield Mon 4th August PL2
IainB replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think it's just a payday for most of the riders, sadly -
I stopped attending KL after the fiasco a few years back against Leicester when they only had 1 ambulance at the track and the meeting was held up for over an hour before being abandoned... I then gave them a reprieve when they ran into difficulties after the Brady/Laguta issues to show some support and solidarity and started going again, only to be rewarded by going over from Leicester 3 times last season and not seeing a single meeting raced... needless to say they are back on my banned list again.

It's not something I can get too excited about either way tbh... on the one hand I do enjoy an extra heat with pretty high stakes, a whole league point... but on the other hand it seems a pretty easy way to get a league point with the one race that normally would take 15 to achieve and is obviously stacked in favour of the team that has 2 big guns. On balance, it's probably not something the sport "needed"
