Can you believe that speedway promoters expect people to turn up and pay to watch speedway racing like this?

Ooh I wonder which Scunny rider has just lost their job live on BSN

Seems a strange day to run this, especially with a 3pm start, when the likes of Chris Harris, Steve Worrall, Danny King, Richard Lawson & Leon Flint are riding later the same evening... especially when there are some blank Saturday nights coming up with no fixtures in the height of summer!

Yes, the slowing in heat 15, I think some tracks, the smaller ones, lend themselves better to this sort of thing than the big Peterborough track where the speeds are so much higher for longer. I can't understand why it's not being made a thing though, it's not everyday we hear a rider calling another rider dirty, not in the media anyway. You'd think the promotions would be trying to stoke some local rivalry up out of this... but nothing

Surprised to not see anybody comment on Ostergaard twice saying that Pickering's riding in heat 15 was "dirty" and he was pretty p1ssed off with it on the British Speedway podcast

That's a good thing then, you won't have a gap in your fixtures between the beginning of August and the beginning of October!

It's a good job the scores were close until the end because as a spectacle of Speedway it was total rubbish... except for heat 15, Picko almost doing a Joe Screen wheelie at full speed!

I've not been to Armadale but it seems like a good little setup, good shaped track, looks nicely prepared with a decent amount of dirt... yet we're 7 heats down and haven't seen a decent race yet, strange

For me... the track needs to be "right" from heat 1... what's the use in waiting for the track "coming to the riders" in heat 12, there's only a handful of races left and riders that had a difficult night up to that point have probably lost interest by then. The track needs to be like it was in heat 12 from heat 1 and kept in a similar state to that all night

Yes, I'd say there were 3 genuinely good Speedway races... question is, is that enough for your £20 these days? especially when you factor in a 20-30 minute delay for the sunshine.

What's his form like abroad, do you know?

At last! A decent race!

He's probably got 100 off Hans

I blame Rob Godfrey

And i was hoping to watch the referee(s) watching the sun

What a terrible race track King's Lynn has become these days

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
