It has as far as I can remember. Definitely not to the level it is today. It started to increase when they banned the rolling starts. A great decision imo. When you look back at some of the TV footage the starts were much more cringeworthy than today’s gardeners. The problem today is the inconsistent 2 min allowance. It should be 2 min or out. They would soon learn. Riders are given too much leeway.

For sure Gambo. The kids will be here very soon 😉. Have a great weekend 👍

I agree. That dig about in the dirt as the bikes tick over has always been a lead up to the heat. It’s up to the ref / start Marshall to bring them to the tapes in time. I like the race build up. Often more watchable than the race.

A change in format / layout is a norm we eventually get familiar with. Good intention but badge / newbie rewards feels somewhat childish.

We’ve seen riders have career impacting injuries, wrong place, wrong time or dangerous opponent. It can’t be coincidence certain riders often end up on the sidelines virtually every season.

Exactly, out of control not knowing the outcome of the move. That equates to very dangerous. That’s not how it should be done.

It’s a fair enough thread open for discussion but as per usual ends up personal. Usually due to others forced preference. I remember the Ben & Ronnie feud well, in person. It did get too personal which escalated the altercation. I attended all of these meetings. Of course I was on Ronnie’s side as a biased Peterborough supporter, fully understand the opposition view. So here goes my opinion to the thread question, which will open up the floodgates again. Apart from the Boyce punch that seemed to calm Tomasz down I have to say NP is the most dangerous rider I’ve seen. Some of the moves he made were deliberately dangerous.

One post and received more badges than when I was a Cub Scout 😆

C’mon Mods, why the need for this rank progress? It’s not a competition on how many times people post. I rarely do now as sensible posts can often lead to insulting confrontation by the usual suspects. You can view the sign ins and reads. You’re just opening it up to Trackprats. There are many good posters on this forum, focus on weeding out the planks.

Here’s a picture of it, what more do you want? Lol

Thanks people for the advice. Tried it again tonight and it is now all good. Even better than I expected. Can watch last night(s) meetings and fast forward.

Thanks. I have Sky Q and could get Discovery Premium last year. I tried last night, logged in but it kept stating I’m not eligible for this channel. As you say seems like an hour on the phone to Sky. Thanks again.

I don’t want to pay for something I can’t record.

I’ve tried this tonight and it still kept stating I am not eligible. Previously was always available with Sky Sports package. Disgraceful that they can’t put a World Team Championship on Eurosport. To which I can record and watch when I’m free. I have no interest in The Tiddlywinks and Tractor pulling. I will be cancelling my Sky package as the main reason was for the Speedway. Eurosport has always been so unreliable, changing live World Final events to Discovery is goodbye Sky, save myself £££ per month. Understand it’s not Sky’s call but it’s they I pay.
