Risk...acceptable Or Unacceptable?
IainB replied to customhouseregular's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
It's dangerous, always has been, always will be. This doesn't however mean that everything that can be done for safety shouldn't be done. Perhaps the biggest innovation in the last 15 years has been the air fence... yet this still lifts when a rider hits it today the same as it did on day one and nothing has ever been done about this fundamental design flaw. Also these air bags need to be installed down the straights, all it needs is for a solid membrane (a thin solid plastic barrier) to be placed between the bags and the riders so as not to "suck them in", this way they could still bounce against the fence and the airbags still absorb the impact. I can't believe the finest minds in the sport have let either go unfixed -
NO! I won't have that... we do know that the 50/50 hasn't been claimed

IainB replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Actually I thought it was quite healthy considering the weather and it was a nothing match with made up teams... just think what it could be if it was run properly -
Leicester V Lakeside Sat 1st August
IainB replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
So that's what the interval is for... I'm glad at least your dog enjoys it So... I'm walking up the hill in the rain approaching the stadium and I can already hear the announcer banging on about the bloody interval, there's a 15 minute delay to let the rain clear, fair enough. Quite a long delay after heat 9 for Leicester to blade all the dirt off the track, that didn't really need it as it had been alright up until that point, I wonder if the fact that they were 8 points down at the time had anything to do with it... then a bloody interval as well after heat 11. All the shale dumped on the outside of the track seemed to cause 2 accidents involving Hall and Lawson, how the ref allowed it is beyond me?!? The ref didn't have a great night at all getting the exclusion wrong in Heat 12, there was also another incident that the ref missed, I can't remember the heat number (6?) when the rider in red definitely left the track after an unsatisfactory start yet wasn't excluded... At least there wasn't a sun delay -

IainB replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
My point exactly! As a floating fan if I was going by the website, I wouldn't be going tonight... but I've had to put on my Sherlock Holmes deer stalker and get my Mystic Meg crystal ball out to find out who's actually riding ... and they wonder why they can't get a crowd! -

Taken from their website Teams Leicester: 1. Jason Doyle, 2. Thomas Jorgensen, 3. Grzegorz Walasek, 4. Szymon Wozniak, 5. Piotr Swiderski, 6. James Sarjeant and 7. Dan Greenwood Lakeside: 1. Hans Andersen, 2. Mikkel Bech, 3. Edward Kennett, 4. Richard Lawson, 5. Rider Replacement for Kim Nilsson, 6. Richard Hall and 7. Adam Ellis Who do you believe? -
What surprised me was that 3 riders weren't excluded from heat 13 for leaving the track after an unsatisfactory start, the ref called them back immediately and put the 2 mins on and only Nicholls stayed out on the track. It would have been farcical but rules is rules

Anybody interested?

Doesn't seem to be the case at Cardiff though, the crowd mix always seems a lot younger there to me, I wonder where they're all coming from
