  1. While Monster sponsor (control) over 25% of the riders is any of this anything but a farce
  2. As said by others on this thread, the decline started earlier, but without a doubt, Matt Ford caused the sport more problems than the contributors on this forum care to admit
  3. The flashing light is due to a rider, I believe it was Swindon, running into a tractor on the parade lap.
  4. I have posted similar on this forum before, only to be shot down by those 'in the know' that. Throttles never stick, cut outs always work, it's no risk. Despite the rule book stating the lanyard must be attached whilst the motor is running. It is, after all only a rule
  5. Speedway in the media never recovered from the Sunday People's proven race fixing articles, most people saw speedway as a circus act, the fixing of results just reinforced their view.
  6. Sadly the thousands that attended in 1977, but no longer do, disagree.
  7. Has the feel of one of those 70s end of season challenge meeting, all we need is the promotor being flour bagged
  8. Sad news, met him several times on my travels in Europe, he will be missed. R.I.P Tony
  9. With the support levels the "professional" leagues get, amateur racing looks the only way British speedway can run. The fans will just have to accept it or walk away
  10. What a complete mess of a meeting, promoting club losing money, 2nd and third better than a win, whatever happened to speedway. What attracted me to the sport was winner takes all, first past the flag wins, sad day for the sport as it dies a little bit more
  11. There was an item on YouTube with interviews, but not much of the racing sadly
  12. Nothing wrong with the qualifying system, all riders should be in it. Too much dross back in again
  13. Not qualifying for the GP challenge final from the semifinal, may not have helped
  14. Lambert saving himself for the important meeting monday
  15. Was it Raba who helped Malc Holloway ride in a team event at Lezno ?
  16. The only difference between eigth (there are seven worse) in the GP series and Kvech, Pawlicki, Becker and lebedevs is a lack of opportunity nothing more. Until the chance happens we will carry on with the same old dross.
  17. This is exactly the thinking that holds speedway back. Today two of the top five in the GPs showed their class, but Lambert who is currently eighth was soundly beaten by Kvech and Becker. This is on track that Lambert is the current track record holder, yet people want to stay with the same old faces.
  18. From where I was sitting at the end of the 4th corner lambert was rightly excluded, it looked like a desperate, dangerous move
  19. With two semi finals and the final, I would not be surprised to see him ride for all four.
