Firestick uses Fire OS I think, an adapted version of Android. Not sure an app designed for Firestick would work for general Android
-
though not for Android

Insurance... for when the French Open Tennis or world tiddly winks championships are on. Eurosport are being very ambiguous with their statements, leaving them room to move the coverage when they see fit
-
You would hope that the promoters would promote this event as some kind of competition worth winning... rather than just a fixture filler

I get up there whenever I can, bank holidays etc or "special" meetings -

Tell that to the promotion at Belle Vue, they've got the best track in the world, consistently produces top class speedway racing and yet can't get anywhere close to filling their stadium for a league match with a catchment area of around 2.7 million people -

Doggy, what is she looking for from Speedway? -

IainB replied to justathought's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It's difficult to know what your friend is looking for then... The match against Scunny had some of the best racing I've seen at BP in years, if she wasn't entertained by that I suspect she doesn't like Speedway and prefers maths -
I totally agree!

Can't see many paying for that... I'll catch whatever they put on Freesports I think -

I'm all for clubs assembling a team to suit their budgets but there has to be some minimum standard to compete in whatever league. There used to be a minimum limit, not sure there still is though? Didn't Milton Keynes get booted out of the league in the late 80's/ early 90's? Somebody did. This Newcastle team should be in the NL. Some of the names might be recognisable but only because they've been around for a while and not for any achievement: BWD: Never shown anything to suggest he's anything other than a PL reserve, not a CL heat leader Wethers: Solid team journeyman, good for No2 James Wright: Who knew that Charles was going to be the good one! James is a long way off from being the rider he used to be Cleggy: Been around for years, has never moved on from being a decent reserve Starky: Solid team journeyman, maybe a good 3rd heat leader Lee Complin: I'll give him a month Congreve: The next Ivan Mauger? -

Don't teams have to build to a minimum strength anymore? -

I wonder if we'll get to keep these 3 league points? -

That's the benefit of starting earlier at 7pm... as long as you're not stood there waiting for the sun to go down -
You do get the feeling that they could be a key press from it all going horribly wrong one evening though... at least it'll be a new way for me to be deprived of watching a meeting for my bingo card

A commentator that doesn't commentate... that'll please some

Another shocker from the ref! Bomber clearly won that!

Brummies v Leicester KO Cup 2nd leg Wed 6th April
IainB replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
you reap what you sow -
from what I've been to so far: Josh Auty - about the same as a League Match vs Leicester Peter Craven - almost a sell out Leicester vs Scunny - a little disappointing, well down on last year Ben Fund - about the same as a league meeting Peterborough vs Ippo - disappointing for a local derby

KL never slow to pat themselves on the back when they luck into getting it right... but strangely silent when they luck into getting it wrong -

maybe if they made the meetings more attractive to attend in the first place they wouldn't have this problem -
