And I though British domestic speedway was boring....
IainB replied to JamesHarris's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
You should take a look at Swedish Speedway on Freesport... you'll love that! -
I don't think it's about learning from Cook and Harris, it's about learning from everybody, all riders... If you're not going to treat it as something worth winning, a world final, it becomes not worth winning, not the example to set. Kemp is nowhere near the quality of justifying a place in a world final, there's many more ahead of him. We're lucky this year in the fact that we can use Lambert as "reserve" next year Cookie is not going to get a look in and will be standby reserve should Lambert or Woffinden not be available, that will be the time to blood young Bewley, when hopefully he'll be back to full form/confidence after his injuries

It's a world final, you put your best team out regardless of age, every other country has, even Denmark and Sweden, it's over 2 days, it only takes an injury for any team and they're up against it. The answer for lack of test matches is to arrange some and not chance youngsters who are nowhere near international class, yet, and possibly set them back a few years. Who knows what the likes of Bewley or the rest are going to be, they may just turn out to be club journeymen like so many before...

Don#t forget this is a senior "World Final"... We've already got Robert Lambert in the U21 slot and the other 2 slots should be filled by the best 2 riders you have available, no matter the age. The youngsters are getting their opportunity at U21 level. The format of the SoN has been changed to be able to blood youngsters and Bewley will probably get his chance next year. The problem really lies with the lack of international test matches these days, which in my opinion is where the young kids should be fed into the international arena.

Peterborough v Belle Vue - Prem Mon 15th July
IainB replied to bigcatdiary's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Are you black listed at the turnstiles then? -
Oh dear, stalking him on Facebook now, lol. You should go along and shout abuse at him from the terraces, create some atmosphere... I gave Ole Olsen a dressing down he'll never forget from the 2nd bend at Blackbird Road many years ago when I was a young nipper. You've already missed the match of the season, he'll be out the club soon when they realise he's a liability

What happened with Jack Smith, after reading his comments on twitter he seems to have some kind of beef with the management???? -
Speedway On Tv And The Internet In 2025

Eurosport always have been and always will be a joke... the clue is in the title "Euro" -
world u21 team final Belle Vue 12th July
IainB replied to davidba's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I've got to say the promotion for this event is absolutely shocking, non existent... BSPA Website: "The page you have requested is currently unavailable. Please try again later.." Belle Vue Website: 1 Line header, top of screen SpeedwayGB Twitter: Nothing It's only because Shouty B's mentioned it on BT Sport on Monday that I'm even aware it's on... and this is the future of British Speedway... perhaps they realise there is no future. Anyway, I'm planning on coming along to support the Lions, traffic permitting! -

Kings Lynn v Poole Prem. 8th July 2019 BT Sports.
IainB replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Not strictly true... I used to go to KL quite often over the last 30 years, to follow Coventry and as a neutral, and I live in Leicester, as it was generally always good value with the quality of racing... these days I vowed never to return after the Leicester match last season, but would struggle to muster the enthusiasm to attend if I lived a mile away. While the facilities have improved (the sand pit on the back straight!) the racing certainly hasn't. Anyway doesn't the track sit on a hard base? Wasn't this more due to the "new stadium" For how long though? He's hanging on until he can off load it for a reasonable price A lot less! -

The racing at Kings Lynn these days is a shadow of what it used to be back in the 80's and early 90's... It's really living on past glories -

The age of some of those that are there... Looks like some of them won't see the meeting out! -

Why is nobody there? -
Yeah quite a few more came in the 10 minutes before the start and what a corker of a match it was (despite the sun delay), some great racing and any number of incidents that could have decided the match one way or the other... Dougy's 2 unforced errors, Kerr's fall, Mountain's fall, the ref's shocking double decision in heat 11, the manager's decision not to use Harris in heat 15...
