Removing guests won't add anything in improving the product, adding sponsorship and spectators through the turnstiles. Guests is bottom of the pile to fix British Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just covering their bases and pointing out how 'tin pot' the rules are so that they can undermine our title win if we are succesful. Just a pity they spent most of the last few days bigging it up on the other thread and insisting that any win is worth celebrating. 😉 * Disclaimer - we are still capable of throwing this away at Leicester next week. 😂 Edited 33 minutes ago by DaveWayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Man United reach the champions league final ( unlikely I know) and Man City don’t, with it being the last game of the season, can united sign Erling Haaland to play in it and help them win it ? Robert Lambert was a different case. He hadn’t ridden for anyone before the play offs whereas Fricke has already had a failed attempt at another club. Not that any of this matters because as witches fans are quick to point out, the seasons a sham , a write off and pointless anyway. I take your point but if you use the speedway rules, the player that Haaland replaces would have to be of similar standard, Man Utd clearly do not have anyone of similar standard. Max is replacing Jack who is a better rider than Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going backwards towards a dead end. The rules are comical at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame KL didnt have another rider in the semi final as they may have got second.. Still, I am sure all the KL fans will be delighted to see Max doing so well after an indifferent season, and it looks like they will have more riders in the final than their rivals Ipswich... "Welcome to ITV4's coverage of the UK Speedway Play Offs, and, if you haven't watched Speedway in the UK before, Yes. This is perfectly normal"... Sometimes it is just for the best it doesn't get any real notice or publicity... I am pretty sure the bike Max used last night was not the same as the one he has been using for Kings Lynn, it was probably his gp bike. I expect he is on an extra bonus at Sheffield. If Max was guesting for Belle Vue we would have someone talking about the play off curse! Edited 1 minute ago by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I’m waiting to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
