Doesn't help when you don't start until 7:50... a dose of British Speedway reality being served up tonight.

Was Phil Morris the only one in UK Speedway leadership team with a watch?

And now he doesn't appear to be involved no one knows what the time is?

You think they should start while people are still queuing to get in?

They should stick to the advertised start, if people miss the start then maybe they will turn up earlier next time, if not then the late starts will continue.

Just seen the crash on social media as I'm not watching it live but that's an absolutely appalling move from Rushen. He was absolutely aware of Harrisons presence and made an obvious and intentional move to ride right down the middle of the track to block the move - WAY off the racing line.

I know he's a young lad and obviously a massive talent but that kind of frankly dangerous riding deserves some kind of actual and considerable punishment. He can't continue knowing he can get away with something like that. At one point Harrisons head is almost 180 degrees in the opposite direction, he's lucky he's not dead.

An Amalagoto... or whatever they were called? Or a Mickey Mouse watch? 😂

I agree if was an established track...

However, as only the second meeting the staff will still be finding their feet, in the Speedway Star they said those on the entrance gate were still getting trained up to an hour before letting people in last week...

And as some punters tonight will no doubt be new you want to try and not pee them off by missing out on the racing...

Maybe a 7.45 start time would be better for this season?

I seen it and hoped it was his helmet that had just come loose because if not, then it could have easily been the worse. 
 

Awful from Rushen, I really rate the kid and think he’s going to go far in the sport but that was down right dangerous. 
 

If that was in Poland, probably would have been thrown out the meeting for dangerous riding. He makes the mistake in 3&4 and tries to over compensate but it’s the look before he does it. Referee has had an absolute shocker. 
 

Hope Luke will be okay, sounds like concussion, and speedy recovery to Jody aswell, the innocent party in it all.

A punch on the nose can often rectify those kind of moves 🥊
