  1. I think you'll find that if you turn the TV/Radio off you'll find that the world is not such a bad place after all.
  2. Thanks, I've been on to PS about this and they came back to me blaming my equipment, I knew it wasn't, good to have confirmation though. Thanks for replying, I'll get onto them again, telling them I'm not the only one having issues
  3. I'm experiencing the same choppy picture and sound with the Swedish Speedway on PS now! Is anybody else? Or am I the only fool on here that actually subscribes to PS?
  4. Still unable to buy tickets for a week on Sunday...
  5. The trouble is there are now only 25 team places available to him, 20 if he burnt his bridges with Peterborough
  6. I wouldn't worry about it too much as there are no gays in Speedway... much like Football. I don't think there are any gays at all in motorsport is there? There's only 1 in Rugby.
  7. See you next week I've given up taking new people along, the opportunity for something like this to happen is too great. It's exhausting enough trying to explain to new punters what's going on under normal circumstances without having an hour to "fill" They should be charged with bringing the sport into disrepute... but this seems to be something reserved for the riders I had a particular bee in my bonnet about this very subject a couple of years back and started a thread on it on here (which you may find an entertaining read) this was after a couple of incidents within a couple of weeks at KL & Peterborough (from memory). I have never been back to KL since and won't again until it's their policy to have at least 2 ambulances present on site. Not really a laughing matter
  8. For me this season Bewley looks like a man on a bike where in the past he's looked like a boy on a bike. Whether that's natural growth, the result of a training programme or my imagination I don't know.
  9. Was anybody else experiencing the same issues as me with the PS coverage?
  10. But you're not getting the choice of which match/standard of rider you want to watch... which is the point. The only choice is take it or leave it and on this occasion I will leave it. I hope you enjoy it though
  11. Something to do with bike covers being in the club livery... Then for almost every other rider to not adhere to those terms
  12. Was just watching what was going on in the pits after last nights match while I was waiting for the traffic to clear (crowd was surely more than 1,000!!) and there were a lot of "known" faces have a long look at and discussion about one of the rear tyres. I wonder if it'll become a story?
  13. Never say never but Buster has binned Cookie before he even raced for Peterborough a year or so ago and after 1 match for KL
  14. Will you be streaming it live for the rest of us to watch so we don't have to pay to watch it?
  15. It's great to be back at the tracks, I've been to 3 now with very different procedures: Scunny: QR contact tracing code seemingly optional, was attached to the fence at the entrance, I was the only one I saw checking in with the app Belle Vue: Contact details compulsory, either using the QR code and the app or contact details taken down using pen and paper Peterborough: No QR code to be seen anywhere, no contact details taken... and the crowd "seemingly" more than 1000
  16. I'll wait until I hear the other side of the story
  17. The last time I went to a similar double header was a couple of years ago when they were riding CH in the 2nd meeting and it got cancelled because they were faffing around so much that the rain cloud that was heading to the stadium all afternoon finally deposited its contents on the track, that was the match that got me blocked from their Twitter account lol. From memory it was only £3 or £4 extra and as I'd never seen NDL racing before and it was CH I thought it was good value as a taster. After that debacle I shall not be attending another double header, totally happy to pay £17 to watch the seniors, junior racing is just not my thing. I understand that for many who attend the cubs meetings this will be an attractive meeting. For me it's just too much of a marathon, no doubt the track will be dry and dusty after a few races and I can see this dragging on and on. I also notice that the away fixtures at Berwick, Newcastle & Eastie are also double headers and I shall also be giving these a miss if the price is in the same region. If the club can't afford to run the cubs as a stand alone outfit should they be doing so. Perhaps I'm wrong and they'll get a bumper crowd, I hope they do and as punters we'll all make our own individual choices.
  18. Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh yes, I must admit if they've not ridden in this country I do get a bit mixed up on who's who especially when they're all in the same race suits with unpronounceable names. I've just double checked... I thought Orgacki was replacing KK, so my mistake.
  19. You've got to wonder what the value of replacing KK with a complete no hoper is. Unless you're replacing him with the next best rider not racing in Poland then you may as well roll the dice with him, he may just win you the match if he reels off a 15 point max... If you include him in your team at the start of the season you know what you're getting.
  20. Yeah, I've been in contact with the club about this. The Berwick match is a double header with the juniors and they're not selling separate tickets, so I'll give that one a miss at £26! as I have no interest in the NDL team. I think they're having a few teething troubles with the booking system as the Scunny match on the 12th is actually a KOC match and they're showing it as a league match with nothing showing in the KOC ticket section... you're unable to actually buy them anyway so I'm not actually sure what the purchasing policy is
  21. After watching the so called coverage of Friday's matches, I'd say a categoric NO! It's no exaggeration to say that almost every broadcast this season has had some sort of fault with the coverage. The quality of the picture has quite often been abysmal with pixelated images, jerky movement, garbled, choppy stuttering sound, race highlight music playing during races and on Friday there being a 10 second delay between the sound and commentary and the pictures being shown. Quite frankly from a subscription TV service I expect and demand better than this! At least when Eurosport was cr@p it was free
