Looking at my planner yesterday evening and both matches were on PS1 -
Time to have an enquiry into the death of Speedway
IainB replied to HackneyHawk's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
You could say the same about CL & PL compared to the SGP series... Imagine watching it on BT Sport, thinking I like the look of that and then turning up at any of the tracks in Britain (BV exempt) -
Time to have an enquiry into the death of Speedway
IainB replied to HackneyHawk's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was nationwide -

I seem to remember such a questionaire paper being issued in the late 90's early 00's. From memory it had a load of contrived questions on it not really addressing the real issues... also not everyone buys a program so maybe just a customer suggestions box located somewhere around the stadium... maybe directly above the skips -
F1 has been classified as "Elite" though... Speedway (Domestic at least) has not. It makes me smile when people say Do whatever it is next year... unfortunately there's no guarantee that we'll be in any different situation by this time next year.

I wonder if it has anything to do with a certain sponsorship that Dudek has but Laguta doesn't? -
Swedish Elitserien 2020
IainB replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Wow... there's a real lack of British riders there. I would have expected to have seen a few more names amongst that lot -
1 of them is no where near GP standard and is actually riding in this years GP series!

but still managed to decamp from Buck house to Windsor Castle and then more recently to Balmoral

The commemorative battle of Sedgemoor race jacket
-
Why originally use the American Confederate flag as a logo then? Was that the flag flown at the battle of Sedgemoor by the rebels? Please explain.
-
... and that's why they're called the rebels? I believe you...
-
Almost sounds like you're retrospectively trying to make the story fit the club name... I must admit I missed the press release explaining the change of logo though

If you read what I wrote "the chance of earning a few hundred quid to a grand a night" -
... And what about when he uses "Veroni", "Varoynie" or "Veranda"... in the same race? Has Kacpker been joshing about with him?

Rest of the GP series
IainB replied to james1234's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
"Absolutely no point in making it difficult for him to post here by insulting his employers excessively, unless that's what you enjoy. It's just a matter of using a bit of intelligence and, if it's not too much to ask, respect?" -
Swedish Elitserien 2020

I wonder if that's why Jason Crump has returned to these shores? -
and whether he was training or dicking about

I'm not sure these riders are securing highly paid jobs in the city, I think the chance of earning a few hundred quid to a grand a night compared to minimum wage driving a van is a pretty easy decision to make. -

Free pass for Dave then... Can't pass comment on the way Premier Sport change their schedules and mess everybody about? Just pay my money over and keep quiet? -

Unlikely as he get's 80% of his commentary content from here and Twitter It's racers and royals who keeps people informed on here -

IainB replied to HackneyHawk's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I went to Glasgow for the PO Final last year and from the moment you turn up at the stadium it feels like you're going to be watching a professionally run sport, it's the standard all other clubs should be aiming for... it's just a shame they can't make it pay! I went to the first GP at Hackney and started off by standing on one of the "grass banks" until being moved on... then the best viewing position I could find was actually below the track and we stood there looking up at it, never went again. They should have called themselves the London White Elephants -
Speedway On Tv And The Internet In 2026
IainB replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The presenters have both been on Twitter indicating they will... but as we all know that's no guarantee
