Well, for at least the last 2 years, the riders have been consistently unable to put bums on seats, the same goes for the GP's.

have you heard the story's coming out of las Vegas how places there are going down hill, they are pricing themselves out of buisness.

Yet some of the owners of British betting companies were the biggest UK tax payers last year

Simon Stead has stepped down as joint-manager of Team GB to spend more time with his family.

No DJ Woffy...

I didn't even know Ukraine had that many speedway riders.

[Neila]

Don't know why Charles Wright has been picked when he told the crowd at Redcar on Friday that he will be on the sidelines for many weeks, slight possibility of summer before fit

They didn't until Russia invaded....

This could be a banana skin for team GB, some of the foreign riders will be used with tracks like Landshut, where some of the Brits may struggle, and our top 2 maybe too focused on the GP the next day 

[Triple.H.]

I honestly don't see the point in naming a rider, CW who is out injured and says he won't be fit for a good while yet. 

Plus Adam Ellis, will he have recovered by may 1st ?

Maybe shows that the only GB team manager now is not up to speed what is happening in the north of the country 🤔

[Bagpuss]

Charles Wright rides for Landshut, I expect he's been named in the squad just in case he is/was fit ahead of schedule as unlikely as that may be.

[Fozzie4388]

I'd like to see Dan Thompson get a chance he did pretty well in the SoN2 last year and anything is better then watching Ellis fail for another year.

[Mr Blobby]

That Squad just shows the state British speedway is in. Outside of the top 2 we’ve got no form of Depth at all. 

[gjcone44]

i think Brennen is getting there..

I hope Ukraine gets knocked out and this charity of having them in purely due to politics can stop. I don’t really care about the war when I’m watching speedway, I’d rather Russian be in it, whether that upsets people or not.
