  1. What other sports has she presented, I had never heard of her before her appointment.
  2. It was always taxed as an entertainment, which is why it should be compared to the cinema on price
  3. Congratulations to Paul Cooper, great result
  4. On social media, there was an Xray of the plates and screws in his leg.
  5. Championship Clubs, forced up into the " higher" league, have always had to run with "left overs" so no change there
  6. This is the only way forward, as you say the premier clubs have nothing to offer
  7. We had Lambert last year, Kurt's this year, who will be next year's flash in the pan runner up to Zmarzlik
  8. While Monster sponsor (control) over 25% of the riders is any of this anything but a farce
  9. 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
  10. The flashing light is due to a rider, I believe it was Swindon, running into a tractor on the parade lap.
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. Sadly the thousands that attended in 1977, but no longer do, disagree.
  14. Has the feel of one of those 70s end of season challenge meeting, all we need is the promotor being flour bagged
  15. Sad news, met him several times on my travels in Europe, he will be missed. R.I.P Tony
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. There was an item on YouTube with interviews, but not much of the racing sadly
  19. Nothing wrong with the qualifying system, all riders should be in it. Too much dross back in again
