I do have an agenda and that agenda is British Speedway, if riders want to come from abroad and live here and build a career, great! They shouldn't then be picking and choosing the meetings they ride in at the expense of British Speedway. Speedway is on a knife edge in this country at the moment, we're not in the Peter Collins/Kenny Carter era when punters would turn up pretty much regardless of who was or wasn't riding, in fact you maybe able to point to the personal antics of riders through the years as one of the main diminishing factors in British Speedway and it continues to this day... and it should be stopped. I really couldn't care what riders do elsewhere, I follow British Speedway, I follow Leicester Lions and that is where I spend my money following this club home and away and I expect when I hand my Β£23 over at the turnstile to see the rider who I watched only 5 days earlier lift a 2nd place trophy in the SGP, completing all of his rides after his off. I don't expect him to be missing and then turning up abroad the very next night and reeling off a 12 point maximum and then only dropping 3 points at the very highest level the next night. I'm not going to rake up what happened last year, that's been done to death... but he did effectively receive an ultimatum from the SCB... who have been strangely quiet on most issues this year. If you finish your full rides in one meeting unless you sustain a non-Speedway related injury then you should be expected to be competing in your next scheduled meeting. It's a real shame that you should choose to sign off your comments with insults, I thought you were better than that, "a disgusting speedway fan and a disgraceful human being" and a troll wow! I actually felt a bit sorry for you when a section of Ippo fans were giving you abuse earlier in the year, I'm inclined to agree with them now. I hope you enjoy your world travels following Brady Kurtz when British Speedway has failed.

Gavin Parr always going on about "Keyboard Warriors"... or paying punters as I prefer to call them. -
Berwick v Redcar 21/06/25 Championship
IainB replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Where does it go? I remember watching it gushing out of the tank of Jason Crump years go in the GP's at quite some pressure as he was leaning it over to one side... maybe over the rider next to him lol -
Berwick v Redcar 21/06/25 Championship
IainB replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I've often noticed fuel gushing out of the top of the fuel filler caps on many bikes over the years... I saw tonight that Erik Riss seems to have a tube coming out the top of his filler cap leading back into the tank? -
Apparently... who knew? π€·ββοΈπͺ

In short... if you finish your full rides in one meeting unless you sustain a non-Speedway related injury (or catch Covid π€) then you should be expected to be competing in your next scheduled meeting... end of! Kvech did not tonight, so I fully expect him to miss at least his next meeting.

Are you "Cooking" up a conspiracy theory? π€

They said there was a problem with the water truck, whether that was a mechanical problem, pilot error or bad instructions they didn't say... Say hello to Sarah Desert for me lol π

Don't worry... Phil's all over it, setting the record straight π

Bewleh! Bewleh! Picked himself up off the floor at Leicester on Thursday to ride Wroclaw last night and win the Sprint Race this afternoon... a true inspirational Ace β£οΈ

I'd say he should have 28 days off ππ»

If Robert Lambert had been riding in the UK, Birmingham, last Monday, he'd be well capable of handling a poorly prepared like this π

Tatum making a compete plum of himself again, calling the stats wrong where it clearly states they're 2025 stats π

Cool

Is there a sprint race at the end of this?

I don't know why you're just highlighting league meetings... well actually I'm pretty sure I do. But to answer your question, Kurtz clearly fit to continue riding last Saturday night, gave the club he's the inspirational captain of a miss on Thursday and turned up for the Zloty the very next night and scored a 12 point maximum. You're very selective (much like Kurtz) in the meetings you think Kurtz should and shouldn't be riding in, as a Belle Vue fan I find this difficult to fathom, maybe you're not a fan of Belle Vue or British Speedway? Just coming on here and calling everybody a troll who doesn't agree with you is not great.

For me Dudek and Morris are not really comparable for Leicester. Dudek didn't let Leicester down, Morris did. I don't know if Dudek issued any kind of apology to Zielona GΓ³ra fans, there was silence from Morris, Dudek only received a 1 year ban and went on to become a world class rider, Morris never showed any signs of improving to become any where near world class and had reached his level imo. If Morris were to come back to Leicester he needs to show some contrition for the many people he let down.
-
As @40-38 eluded to, I can't ever remember Morris addressing the fans re his misdemeanor and 2 whole years off takes quite some coming back from I would have thought, for me I'd rather stay with R/R if it was a toss up between the 2.

Just catching up with the BSN meeting... and I can't believe that Nick Morris is even in Mr Dickson's thinking! Has he learnt nothing from the Craig Cook episode?!?

... and it's all gone quiet in Manchester πΆ

That's all very well and good and I really hope he does it and gets as many watches as he can fit on his weak dainty little wrist... not at the expense of British Speedway though. If he doesn't want to ride over here, he shouldn't have signed a contract... This behaviour is part of the reason you don't attend the "qualifiers" isn't it?

That's because Brady Kurtz keeps producing his sick note every time he breaks a finger nail π π I think you should change your user name to π€ mikebk ππ
