I agree with you he shouldn't be in the series based on recent form... I did say earlier though that he should in to generate some much needed publicity for the series, he can do that more than the rest combined imo. -

You can keep him... and Morris... add in a pinch of Craig Cook and you almost have a team that won't finish a match π -
Everybody has you on ignore though ππ

It's taught him a lesson he'll never forget π

While Speedway is very much a numbers game it is also about completing 4 laps. As I've said before I absolutely hate riders not completing 4 laps when they are clearly able to do so and last night it all came home to roost, some will say it didn't make any difference in the eventual outcome, but sport is all about the moment and had Lions needed a 5-1 instead of a 5-0 in that last race that's a whole different ball game mentally. Kemp has displayed attitude problems throughout his career, will he learn from last night? Personally I doubt it, his attitude is in his make up, I do hope he learns from it... just not at Leicester. Whether Mr Dickson sees it the same way I wouldn't be so sure... he looked very prepared to take Nick Morris back during the summer and did so with Berwick. -

Okay, there's a bit to unpack here... I don't agree that BZ's high appearance fee is nonsense as a self employed person myself I adjust my prices according as to what my customers can afford, I don't charge the factory down the road the same as I charge multl-billion pound financial institutions, not if I want the factory down the roads' business. Yes I do want to see the World Champion in emerging Speedway nations like Argentina & France. Apart from Australia tracks can be found in Poland, United Kingdom (Great Britain), Sweden, Denmark, Argentina, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa. I gave you 2 examples of individual events BZ has yet to ride in the PCMT in UK and Czech Golden Helmet, 2 prestigious individual events and you could argue that the decline in the other big events like the Gold Bar etc is due to the high appearance fees from riders. I agree if riders are riding over in Poland and taking the Polish coin the least they could do is learn some Polish language effectively enough to communicate even if it's only "jestem bardzo szczΔΕliwy" (me big happy? π) You may not like it but English is the international language and generally used as the international standard, if you want to be a world star and have cut through with the media around the world you need to be speaking in English. Cristiano Ronaldo didn't have a great grasp of English when he played for Manchester United but as he became a world star learnt it and has a much better media cut through than Lionel Messi because of this. Look at F1, all press conferences conducted in English and all drivers completely fluent in the language. If Speedway wants any media cut through at all and wants to expand its reach it's essential that the World Champion at least speaks English and is also seen outside of Poland. -

Does anybody know if TNT replay the 2nd leg or show highlights, my "recording facility" failed so unfortunately I'm unable to relive the pain π’ -

As gutted as I am to see the Lions lose I think that a Witches victory is probably the best for British Speedway, first of all that size crowd doesn't deserve to be sent home unhappy and hopefully many will return. Ippo have been the team to beat for the last 3 seasons, they took the financial gamble in bringing Emil back 3 years ago to partner Doyley and we've all benefited from that, they've worked the rulebook to within an inch of its life this year (and fair play to them for that) and they've got a true local legend captaining the club which is rare to see these days (even though he comes in for a bit of stick from certain quarters) Well done Witches, well deserved and earned... our final was the semi final again (we've got to stop celebrating semi final victories like that!)... it's our turn next year- 425 replies

You can't blame Tatum for milking the golden twit... it's up to somebody at Sky, Eurosport, WBD & TNT to realise he just ain't up to the job. They finally did with Sudden Sam took long enough though. Apparently he's even doing MotoX commenting for WBD now π -
