  1. Puk's getting carried away he's actually got a crowd cheering for him and he's lapping it up!
  2. Kelv might lose his dirtometer on the outside of this track tonight!
  3. Looking at that I now fancy some chocolate mousse!
  4. And on BSN Greg Blair said that Picko had told him to always stick a microphone under his nose... then, when Abi Stephens does it he turns down the interview.
  5. Every single one of us knows it makes total sense to postpone both pay off meetings until next week... commercially
  6. What you talking about... they even "invited" Australian Max Fricke to compete in a round of the European Championship! If they want to have a feeder series, you're right, it should be open to all.
  7. A Belle Vue fan as in she doesn't attend for the whole season but turns up at pay off time? 😁
  8. Interesting to listen to the BSN interview with Scott Nicholls after the Oxford vs Scunny match as to why he wasn't there at the CLRC. And despite being tee-ed up to say that he was carrying an injury niggle he instead opted to commendably tell the truth and cited "logistics" as the reason he wasn't there. This brings up a number of questions, assuming "logistics" means that he was in Vojens the previous evening, which he would have known about at the beginning of the season when the GP fixture list was released, then why leave it so late to pull out of the meeting? Scott Nicholls would have been one of the top name draws to the CLRC, a draw that was "confirmed" on the 8th of August! I suspect the whole truth behind these late withdrawals is not always as it seems.
  9. Catering? You worried about what time your tea is being served up? 😂
  10. There is only a single reason for pay offs and that is to satisfy the TV companies. The ONLY team sport that is big enough to call the shots to the TV companies is Premier League Football as they know there would be an outcry from the fans if pay offs were to be introduced... just like there is every time they try and introduce a "super league" What these sports have to weigh up is the benefit of the TV contract... in Speedway's case their "broadcast partners" are probably doing more harm than good to the sport for the pittance they pay for it.
  11. I notice you went viral you won't want to interact with the likes of us soon
  12. As somebody who squeezed into Brandon to watch the double header league decider vs Hull & Leicester I can attest that pay offs are not needed to completely fill a speedway stadium
  13. Hopefully next season they'll do away with the wretched things altogether! They've caused nothing but trouble in every league, fixture and rider availability wise, ever since they were introduced. After what has happened this year they've lost any credibility they may of once had.
  14. Nah... rule change, table toppers are now crowned Champions Well done Sheffield!
  15. They should hold the first leg at Glasgow, forecast looks fine... for commercial reasons obviously 😜
  16. Where were all of these so called fans when the Eurosport cameras were in town showing the King's Lynn match? The part time glory hunters all come out of the woodwork at this time is the year
