It will be a struggle to be worse😂

Ranks amongst the worst meetings ever.  Mostly down to a poor Sheffield effort

Wow.... that super sucked.

Not sure what was the most embarrassing... the overall Tigers points tally, Stead putting Holder in heat 15 rather than Brennan or the lack of interesting heats for TV.

Or Scott Nicholls not being able to toss properly.

Only PEOPLE ENJOYING!!! the meeting were the home and away riders themselves who were not at all concerned with the cameras in the pits picking them  up having a jolly up  between themselves!!! What a joke uk speedway has become with riders mixing with the opposition.Not in any sport in the world would teams act in this manner,ONLY IN UK SPEEDWAY.SMAMBLES

After the pressure on them in Poland at the weekend's, every week, during the season, it must be light relief to turn up at UK Speedway venues  and "enjoy" their evening's racing...

Racing with a lot less riding on the result, with, for most riders, zero chance of getting replaced regardless of performances..

(In fact, sometimes the worse you do can actually help you get a job the season after!)..

It does all seem very "matey" though doesn't it?

Which isn't a good look if you want the viewers to believe they are watching top level professional sport that has some jeapordy, and consequence for winning and losing..

Let's hope the GP's deliver some proper sporting drama and excitement to help showcase the sport...

I get all teams are to be shown on TV,, but is it not possible to do a bit of research and show as many meetings they can when the away team have a decent record or atleast keep meetings close. 

Both TNT and BSN seem to be showing poor match ups at present and totally wasting their time at tracks like Birmingham, Leicester and Kings Lynn where the tracks are not known to provide decent racing.

Even it's heyday riders mixed with other. In Gps riders watch races together etc .in Poland over the weekend riders were mixing together.. its always been the same.

It’s due to rain in Gorzów when the race start at 18:15 UK time.

This sport attracts the most miserable b@stards ever I swear to god 🙄

Not trying to upset everyone here on the forum but I wouldn't say this is the main fan base for speedway, it’s just a voice for a few fans, half the people on here pick and choose meetings and aren’t loyal ‘every week go to support your home club’ fan. FYI I go to every home match at foxhall and try to go to what I can away  again… people can decide to go to what they want, this isn’t a dig at anyone, just got to take everyone’s comments on here with a pinch of salt and don’t think this is the same view of the mass people who go to meetings.

I find that the case at the tracks as well. Generally a bunch of miserable old sods 😜

You often see F1 drivers mixing, especially on the drivers parade truck

It's certainly a more competitive league than the PL this year

Do you think fans on the “main base”thought that was great.Loyal fans are decreasing because of what they being presented with most weeks .IMO.How many fans were there last night.

Nah I’m not saying it was amazing speedway, but I think British speedway and English people are really negative. For one positive post here you’ll see ten negative. It isn’t Polish speedway, we don’t have tracks, riders, stadia, facilities, money etc here in Britain. It is what it is, with the above mentioned and the fact the guesting system is flawed (I was annoyed that Brennan was helping our rivals!) we just have to take whatever we have and try and make it work. All I’m saying is at least we still have speedway, people can be moa about it all they want, but you’ll be moaning more in 10 years when the sport doesn’t exist here, like all things in life, enjoy it whilst it’s here.

In the 60,s and 70,s there was a far more competetive edge to league meetings but there wasnt the situation where riders were team mates one night and opponents the next, i think that has taken away the intensity there used to be.
