That's the trouble when many of your peers miss speedway meetings in dubious circumstances it reflects on the wider profession.

Why no Klindt? The Plymouth website seems to have shut down since June the 10th with not even a mention of their new signing!

Maybe a dental appointment... and he's got a letter from him mum?

How about 1 bend? 😂

It's not an English entitlement thing, it's really not. I do agree that riders riding in Poland should try and learn the language, I think Robert Lambert has hasn't he? Isn't his Mrs Polish though? But like it or not English is the international language in the western world, there can't be many global sports where all the participants don't have a decent grasp of English.

I was thinking more of World Speedway than British Speedway, although British Speedway would benefit from a higher profile if World Speedway were more successful. The SGP series is at its lowest ebb pretty much since its inception... Havvy & Woffy English speakers? Lol, they both did have mainstream cut through though as did Nielsen, Crumpy and Hancock all of whom I've seen on non Speedway specific media. I dare say that if Nicki and Trick had been champions in the current social media age we'd have heard a lot more from them. Totally agree with your last couple of sentences.

I do get your point... but for a sport that "was" trying to break into new territories having world champions at junior and senior level who don't really have a great grasp of the English language is not great for marketing. Brilliant for Poland, not so much the rest of the planet. I'm afraid that trying to sell a GP in the US or Aussie with "me score big points" doesn't really cut it. Rule Britannia! Britannia waves the rules! 🇬🇧

Do Worky season ticket holder's have a right to know?

He walked out on Peterborough, he walked out on Rybnik... what could possibly go wrong at Birmingham 🤔🤷‍♂️ It'd just be another chapter in the psychodrama that is Birmingham Speedway... more plot twists than an episode of Crossroads!

It was abandoned after 12 heats though

Bred for export 😁

Long covid? 😂

Kelvin said "he's A okay and will be out in his next race"... just like Brady Kurtz in the Manchester SGP 😁

He's called Kevin... it's a while since we've had a Kevin riding Speedway... and who would have thought he'd be Polish!

Probably thought if his shoulder could stand up to all the holes in the Poole track it could stand up to anything!

1H1A instead of 2H2A

I'm not exactly sure who's happy with this at the moment... Poole?

At the beginning of the season you could have expected that your £25 admission, £3 parking & £4 programme fee would have allowed you to see Jack Holder, Tai Woffinden and Michael Jepsen Jensen 🤔

"Bike rides and runs" around the forests of Eskilstuna sounds a lot more favourable than around the concrete jungle of Birmingham!

Worky get their BSPL membership back today, yay! When's their next meeting?

Can I interest anybody in a League sponsorship package? You'll get your company noticed by all the earthworms and grasshoppers in Leicester...

You don't like talking about money do you... if IoW were doing as well as they said they were a ferry price increase should have been coverable, I suspect it's more to do with crowd levels outside of the holiday season.

Please elaborate

Okay, if that's what you want to believe...

Ended up on his arse in the first one... just like the mascot before the meeting 😂
