1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,280 Welcome to the Seaway Tavern. Enjoy your city. 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,240 Welcome to the Seaway Tavern. What's the news? 3 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:19,800 Today, have a dream. Have you saved all of minions 4 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,040 here today? Welcome to the Seaway Tavern. 5 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:53,280 Enjoy your city. So when I do this diatribe at 6 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,640 the beginning of the show, it's usually to spout off about 7 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,840 something in the Speedway world that is nutty or stupid or just 8 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,120 plain ridiculous. Well, tonight it is nice to be 9 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,720 able to say simply welcome back to the Speedway world, Buxton. 10 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,840 We're all going to need coats only in Speedway. 11 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,040 Good evening and welcome to the Speedway Tavern. 12 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,520 We have as per normal Chris. Good evening. 13 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,400 And Matt, good evening. And myself. 14 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:39,200 Gah. GI. 15 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,040 Gah gah gah. I like that. 16 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,160 Yeah, I like that. Pantomone villain. 17 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,520 Himself. Absolutely. 18 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,920 Well, there's a lot been happening. 19 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,040 I'm just reading some of the comments we'll get. 20 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,560 There's been a lot happening in the Speedway world, but I think 21 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,080 it's probably a nice place to start is the fact that Buxton 22 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,400 are coming back into the Speedway. 23 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,200 It's great news. Obviously Buxton are, you know, 24 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,080 smashing little club, one of those clubs really that deal a 25 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,080 lot of things to sort of produce rods and then maybe sell them on 26 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,320 the profits. And I think the removing of the 27 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,760 assets at the time from National League clubs really badly 28 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,480 handicapped them. And I think the the power, the 29 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,680 power struggle with a lot of the clubs, you know, the crate 30 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,400 leaves the Eastbourne Birmingham area. 31 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:27,960 I think that's sort of undermine boxing a little bit. 32 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,200 And so that sort of fell by the white side. 33 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,320 But it's it's going to be good to see it back. 34 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,840 I only went there the once. Unfortunately it was for a 35 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,400 meeting that was abandoned, but I'm certainly intended to go 36 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,120 there again this season. I'm just gonna make sure I pick 37 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,800 up a a big coat. Yes, it's very cold and windy 38 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,160 there. It's on the sort of on the top. 39 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,960 It's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting off 40 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,240 the rods that have never ridden there before because someone 41 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,200 have to point out to them it's actually on slope. 42 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,320 It's on a slope, yeah. You go, you go faster down, 43 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,240 downhill. I think the picking up spade 44 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,720 don't the when the car into the bones. 45 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,840 Pete Clark makes the point. It's a track in a beautiful 46 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,240 field. Yeah, it's a nice part of the 47 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,840 world, really. It's a nice part of the world. 48 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,600 It's a lovely journey up there. So we've got we've got on there 49 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,400 at the moment, Chris Butler and Pete Clark, who are some of you 50 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,200 on there were volunteers at Birmingham and now the 51 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,680 volunteers at Buxton and are gonna help him put the fence up 52 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,200 and that fence looks a little bit. 53 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,320 You're going to be volunteering, or is it a bit too far? 54 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,160 Too far for me, unfortunately. I mean, I will go down there. 55 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,440 Where is it, Duxton? Derbyshire, Derbyshire, that's 56 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,960 in the Peak District. So it's really, really quite 57 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,840 nice and really coldest part of the world so. 58 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,600 I hope I put something better surface on that track if I can, 59 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,600 because that I didn't never like this this it sort of looked like 60 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,240 look. Like Cinders didn't get off the 61 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,720 old tracks that you saw years ago. 62 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,800 But yeah, but I mean, it's there and that's the that's the thing. 63 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,960 Chris Butler says. It was cold and wet on Sunday. 64 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,360 I think it was everywhere, mate. Yeah, it wasn't club. 65 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,960 Is it a club? That's been around for a long 66 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,240 time or was around for a long time. 67 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,760 No, it's, I don't know what. This history is but I think they 68 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,680 started around about 95. Right I. 69 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,520 Think that's relatively new then? 70 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:04,760 Really. Yeah, yeah. 71 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,000 It's been, it's one of these clubs that have always been been 72 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,840 about bringing on new riders. Yeah. 73 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,200 And that's right down Lawrence Rogers St, of course. 74 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,360 Yeah, so. Obviously, obviously Lawrence 75 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,120 will be delighted to be sort of, you know, still still straight 76 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,280 back into sport after after the departure of Birmingham so. 77 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,360 It's, it feels a little bit strange for me to see all the, I 78 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,760 mean, some, you know, I do recognise some of the track as 79 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,240 it was going up, some of the fencing and stuff in it. 80 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,040 It's not very, you know, I think I'm pretty sure if it's come 81 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,280 from Birmingham, I'm, they're talking about the air fence. 82 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,360 I'm wondering whether that air fence is going to be red and 83 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,480 yellow. We'll find out so that they're. 84 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,880 Close. They're close to sweet for 85 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,960 black, weren't they? I think Buxton Sagan, sorry, I 86 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,560 think their colours were yellow and black, weren't they? 87 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,000 So. I think so, yeah. 88 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,600 Yeah, a bit sort of Wolverhampton. 89 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,880 Paint over the paint over the red. 90 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,520 So, yeah, yeah. And take and take off the the 91 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,840 red on the the tractor because they'll be black and gold 92 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:01,080 underneath that because that came from. 93 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,200 Wolverhampton in ginger. But anyway, yeah. 94 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,760 But we certainly wish them well. It's a, it's a good positive 95 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:07,840 news story. It is. 96 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,640 Quite bittersweet for me, yeah. Which I know you weren't. 97 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,000 You would understand. But you know, and I will get 98 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,280 down there when I can, just to meet some old friends. 99 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,560 Yep. Friends. 100 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,640 Your friends. Yeah, Fred, Sir, Yeah, yeah. 101 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,480 I'll explain to you about that later, because I know that's a 102 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,280 mystery. For the I don't know. 103 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,280 He's the friend, but. OK, Jeff Daniels says thoughts 104 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:35,200 on Waffington back in the GPS. I'm going to take you over to my 105 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,920 mate. You too Mattie. 106 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,920 You've been a little bit loud on the BSF for once. 107 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,600 What have you been saying? Well, once I've been naughty on 108 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,280 the BSF, I'm very rich. Long time since I've been on the 109 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:50,800 BSF, to be fair. But I've just posted this on 110 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,480 about 20 minutes before I came in the room. 111 00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:57,080 One thing you can never recuse is Ty Wolfington of is being shy 112 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,760 about publicity for himself and him being back in the GPA year 113 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,160 after almost losing his life will undoubtedly generate 114 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,360 headlines, at least in the short run. 115 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,920 I'd waited that more non Speedo fans have heard of him than they 116 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,000 have bought a smiles like on recent form. 117 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,760 Shouldn't be anywhere near the GP. 118 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,280 No title or even GP wins since 2018 and his last three attempts 119 00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,480 have seen him finish 8th, 11th and 18th. 120 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,680 Plus by the time the 2026 GP season rolls around he won't 121 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,160 have ridden competitive for the best part of 18 months. 122 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,600 It's worth remembering that 20 years ago the great Tony records 123 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,440 and also had a completely unsatisfactory end to a 124 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,320 successful World Championship career as well. 125 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,680 If he proves us wrong and has a strong season with the top six 126 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,200 finish and maybe one or two wins, brilliant. 127 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,720 But the odds are heavily stacked against him. 128 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,080 Yeah, I mean, I was surprised to see him coming back, if I've at 129 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,480 all, if I'm honest. He seemed to be making noises 130 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,800 which were more, I might be retiring sort of noises. 131 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,520 But obviously he's got on a boat bike and thought, and I still 132 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,960 love this. Yeah, I, I, I guess the, the, 133 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,840 the, the flip side of it. I mean, you know, I hope he 134 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,240 does. Well, obviously I think we all 135 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,400 do. It's good for British Speedway. 136 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,040 If he do us or what? I don't think he's going to be 137 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,240 riding over her from what I can gather. 138 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,720 Very surprised from what I've heard as well. 139 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,520 Yeah, yeah. But somebody else that possibly 140 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,440 was more worthy of that that at this point in their career. 141 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,240 Yeah, I think you could certainly say something. 142 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,120 You could say something like Michael Mickelson, I think will 143 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,640 probably feel a bit hard done by not to have even been put on the 144 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,400 reserves list as far as I'm aware. 145 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,160 And as Thompson is on, obviously, obviously we've seen 146 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,400 Leon Madison's back in the JP, Michael Yepson, Jensen who shows 147 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,520 certainly showed in the last Grand Prix that he's more than 148 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,240 capable of that at that level. And in the Speedway nations, he 149 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,080 did quite well. He. 150 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:58,480 Did. Yep. 151 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,360 So we've got to talk about that at some point as well. 152 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,360 So yeah, so I wouldn't. I'm in on the face. 153 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,760 We'll just have a quick run through the field for next year. 154 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,760 So you've got Barter Smiles, Nick Brady, Kurtz, Dan Bewley, 155 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,760 Freddie Linger and Jack Holder, Andre Levadev's Robert Lambert, 156 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,240 Max Frick, Jason Doyle, Dominic Kibera, Leon Madison, Michael 157 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,680 Jepsen Jensen, Patrick Dyrdek, Casper Varina and Ty Wolfington 158 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,640 on the, on the face of it, pretty strong field, I think. 159 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,480 I mean, I mean, I think I think we've proved the point, really. 160 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,480 In fact, there's three picks and we've only talked about one of 161 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,840 them so far, so. Yeah, Yeah. 162 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:35,960 I've, I've heard a few. I mean, I mean, before we talk 163 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,880 about that, it it still no place for Saifudin off in Laguna and 164 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,640 that's a bigger mission. And and and we need, I think 165 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,960 we'll have a chat about that at some point today as well with 166 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,080 what's right and proper about that. 167 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,400 So the other two picks, of course, I mean, I've heard a few 168 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,240 P few which you say moans about the fact that Doyle's back in. 169 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,440 Yeah. Your thoughts on that? 170 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,280 I think generally last season he had a poor season didn't he in 171 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,240 the J PS? Finished fairly. 172 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,400 Strong, fairly strongly. And let's not forget of course 173 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,960 the previous year he started very strongly, didn't he? 174 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,080 Because he had a bad injury and I think at the time he was 175 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,960 injured he might actually have been leading the series. 176 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,320 I think he was only after about 3 or 4 rounds. 177 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,920 But no, he's he's been more successful in recent years than 178 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,560 Ty has so. Less controversial than. 179 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,840 Lesson yeah. So you know, he doesn't, he's 180 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,480 not really one that courts headlines is a Jason Doyle. 181 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,400 It was always a classy rider. So it'd be interesting of 182 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,400 course, to see whether he's back in the UK next year as well. 183 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,920 I mean, obviously we don't know what the structure of the 184 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,320 leagues. Are. 185 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,320 No, we don't. That's going to be very 186 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,280 interesting this summer. We say that every year, yeah. 187 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,400 Yeah, and of course, the other one, Max Frick, probably not 188 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,920 really a massive surprise. No, I think he's he's possibly 189 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,800 earned, earned to place it with his performances this year. 190 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,440 Doyle was still going. Don't forget Doyle. 191 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Might disagree after last night. Doyle was still getting into 192 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,440 getting into one or two finals as well during last season. 193 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,640 So I mean, obviously say he's had a put, he had a didn't have 194 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,800 a great season, but he still shows long. 195 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,480 He's still proving on his days. He's definitely a rider that can 196 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,120 still sort of mix it with him. I don't think he's a realistic 197 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,520 contender to win the championship, but you know, he 198 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,760 certainly, certainly he'll want to be want to be competitive in 199 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,160 it, lock the other two will as well. 200 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,880 Do we think Brady Kurtz is going to be a challenger next year? 201 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240 Well, the disadvantage that Kurtz has now is that he's lost 202 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,960 that sort of surprise factor because not everybody knows what 203 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,280 to expect of him. And he's going to be under 204 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,600 pressure next year because everyone's going to expect him 205 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,080 to do exactly the same thing again. 206 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,920 You know, I mean, what won against him, and I mean, we can 207 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,880 talk about the Sprint races and and things like that. 208 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,000 What what ultimately went against him, of course, was 209 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,680 crashing out in in Prague, make the final. 210 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,320 That was the one that he missed. And that's come back and and bit 211 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,440 him in the long run to lose that by a point. 212 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,000 Because very often when people have their second season, they 213 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,720 don't do as well as the first season. 214 00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:10,720 It's always dying. We've seen that with rods that 215 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,080 have come over and been brilliant the first season and 216 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,160 it's always the second season they find the hardest one. 217 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,200 Robot's had sort of suffered from that a little bit. 218 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,840 Yeah, second two years ago, but really had a poor season last 219 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,880 year, just about managed to hold his place. 220 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,960 But then in the speed of nations, yeah, he's pretty good. 221 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,960 He was. Yeah, and Dan Beard, they 222 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,920 certainly and Dan Beard was very, very fast for certainly 223 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,320 in. The in the in the semi final, 224 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,080 yeah, not so much in the final, I don't think, but, but 225 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,320 obviously that was a higher class of calibre of riding that 226 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,040 they were up against. But we will talk about, about, 227 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,360 about that. Congratulations to Australia, by 228 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,360 the way. We should say I'm quite pleased 229 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,320 for them, quite happy when Poland doesn't win it because 230 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,320 they I feel that, I feel that they they have the right to win. 231 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,680 They're still they can't win that split on nations, can they? 232 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,160 Seems to be the way with Poland that you know, World Cups, 233 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,680 fantastic in world, fantastic record in the World Cup. 234 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,120 Of course they won the last World Cup, didn't they? 235 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,640 But when they have to rise as a team in a proper team situation 236 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,880 with two riders there or personally, I wouldn't want to 237 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,720 be in in the same rise as a teammate. 238 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,560 We bought a small because he's proud to take his own teammate, 239 00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:21,080 I. Didn't never know where he's 240 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,360 going to go he makes. Instant he goes. 241 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,640 He just goes where it goes, where he wants to on the track 242 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,320 if somebody's in the way. Yeah, tough. 243 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,960 Yeah. So I think it's just got, it's 244 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,120 the skill factor he's got. He can make instant decisions 245 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,000 and do it. And this anyway. 246 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,960 Yeah. Shall we go through some of the 247 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,160 shouts that we've got on the show box and you think you have 248 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,880 to go back an even bit further than that? 249 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,000 I would. Oh the fence is red and yellow 250 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,120 for books and by the one okay, Fred Graham says. 251 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,360 Evening gents. Waiting for my next Speedway fix 252 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,040 with Glasgow Tigers in action in the BSN semi final at Red Car 253 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,200 Sunday then playoff final against Paul and we will have a 254 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,160 chat about that as well. What a match bit by the way 255 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,920 between Glasgow and Edinburgh. What a match. 256 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,960 Yeah, I didn't see it live, but I have seen yes, I mean proper 257 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,080 meeting, wouldn't it proper upgrade atmosphere as well? 258 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,120 Yeah, yeah, it it mentions that the playoff semi final against 259 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,480 the Monarchs was sensational with a huge crowd. 260 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:20,720 Ashfield, proper Scottish Derby with proper Speedway, as 261 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,720 somebody called Calvin would say. 262 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,800 I just think Edinburgh will look back on that performance in the 263 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,000 first leg and Armadale and they'll think, oh, we let guys 264 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,760 go off the hook as they. You meant you called it. 265 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,320 You called. It they had them on the ropes, 266 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,160 didn't there for a long period of that meeting and they sort of 267 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,080 just took the foot on the glass in the last few heats and 268 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,440 Glasgow just nibbled away at that advantage and I'll just 269 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,160 come away. I'll just come away from that 270 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,080 meeting thinking they'll, they'll, they'll probably 271 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,120 literally regret that. And they missed out by two 272 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,160 points in the end, so. Susan Jordan says bring your 273 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,400 coat even in the summer. That's Buxton and I can vouch 274 00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,600 for that. I've been there a couple of 275 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,720 times and. And it's been bright sunshine 276 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,240 and I've been dithering. Yeah, yeah. 277 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,600 Brian Reeson says Ipswich witches are in the driving seat 278 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,600 after a brilliant performance last night despite losing Adam 279 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,520 Ellis and up against the ref as well. 280 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,080 I disagree about that. I I think the ref actually got 281 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,080 those spots on I I I. I have seen Rice's awarded after 282 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,680 a couple of laps, so it's not not a completely new one, it's. 283 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,920 Just I mean, it was the, the the there's almost half of lapping. 284 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,240 Yeah, Brendan, Brendan, Brendan was, there was no way. 285 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,960 But in years, Brendan was going to get back. 286 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,320 No, he was going to pull that one back. 287 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,400 I mean, yeah, you could say that engine failures and things like 288 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:36,760 that. But even when Rice stopped on 289 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,560 the last lap, however, you could have an engine failure. 290 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,040 However, I am now going to outcome. 291 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,040 I mentioned this about Emil Saifuting off affair. 292 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,960 I said I was going to mention something not about Emil Saifud 293 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:54,560 enough as such, but in heat 15, Emil Saifud enough decided he 294 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,080 was going to go up the inside. The space was there inside Ryan 295 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,200 Douglas and he and he was, he went, I mean really tight in on 296 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,920 the inside. Ryan Douglas was, you know, a 297 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,600 couple of bike lengths away from the inside of the curb. 298 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,360 And I don't know whether some when something went wrong or, or 299 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,040 what happened with Ryan Douglas, but he seemed to slow down and 300 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,680 and catch, catch his back wheel or something. 301 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,880 And he moved in to just where Emil Saif Utinov was just about 302 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,840 to be. And Emil Saifudinov went into 303 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:32,680 him and was excluded. Now, the referee made the right 304 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,240 decision under the rules of Speedway. 305 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,800 However, are those rules right? Is that not actually Ryan 306 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,440 Douglas fault? Should he not have given him in 307 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,840 Formula One? It would have been Ryan Douglas 308 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,880 fault because you have to leave if somebody is there. 309 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,040 If somebody is there, you have, you have to, you have to leave, 310 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,120 leave from space to be there because you can't just suddenly 311 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,400 disappear. I've seen seen it many, many, 312 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,840 many, many times all the years I've been watching Spider. 313 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,600 When you think, oh, he's, he's looked for that. 314 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,720 Yes, Yeah, yeah. I don't, I don't think, I don't 315 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,080 think Ryan Douglas did look for it. 316 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,160 I think he made a mistake, Yeah. No. 317 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,680 No, I'm not. I'm not saying, I'm not saying 318 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,920 that anybody that thought from a rider point of view there. 319 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:22,600 I just think the rule is wrong maybe, or that referees need to 320 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,760 be a little bit cleverer and more aware of what's going on on 321 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,720 the track. Yeah. 322 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,040 Well, I mean, I mean, I mean, we mentioned there, obviously I 323 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,760 think, you know, Brian Douglas, in fairness, made a mistake. 324 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,720 But I think there have been other occasions where I've seen 325 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,880 rides who have looked for it. But at the end of the day, the 326 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,200 referee I suppose has got a second guess what the ride is 327 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,520 thinking. So the ride the referee doesn't 328 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:42,640 know whether they're. Right. 329 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,720 Whether? They're wrong. 330 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,640 But if, but if, if a rider is there and the gap is there and 331 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,760 then the gap's taken away, yeah, surely it's the rider taking the 332 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,760 gap away that's at fault. In that there is, I think there 333 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,560 is. I think there certainly is an 334 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,040 argument for that. So send an e-mail to the BSBL 335 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,880 and they'll ignore it. Yeah. 336 00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:08,359 OK, there's a few more that we we need to go up a little bit 337 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,359 for, for OK, yeah, we've done that one done that now back 338 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,440 down. We don't know that that and 339 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,079 you've gone past. It. 340 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,079 No, this isn't. Oh, tears. 341 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,960 I beg your pardon? Yeah, I'm sorry. 342 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,440 To keep up to date with Buxton, follow our social media Buxton 343 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,079 Speedway 2026 on Facebook, Instagram X and the YouTube for 344 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:30,240 updates and progress on the renovation work. 345 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,400 That will be 20 lbs for that advert. 346 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,520 Yes, Jeff Daniels, Keenan Rue guesting for Ellis on Thursday. 347 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,600 That's not a bad. Well, you know, it's the track 348 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,720 doesn't? It yeah, that's not about. 349 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,600 To say it was a very, very professional performance from 350 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,160 Fitch last night against a Leicester team that I thought 351 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,760 turned up with completely the wrong attitudes and when, when 352 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,320 you've got Stuart Dixon calling his right, is that for? 353 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,440 Being on the mobile, on the mobile it's. 354 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,360 Not a it's not a good sign, I don't think. 355 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,040 I mean they have done well at it fits this season Leicester, but 356 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,480 I think a player file is going to be completely different. 357 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,320 They'll they'll have definitely wanted a lead to take down to 358 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,120 Foxtrot. Yes, I mean, it's not. 359 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,760 It's never over until the fat lady sings. 360 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,960 You never know what's what's going to happen, as we found it 361 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,560 with Adam Ellis. Yeah, I mean Leicester, 362 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,560 Leicester 151 away from levelling the time and then you 363 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,720 know so but can't see. But they need to turn up. 364 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,120 Yeah, they need to turn up and they didn't. 365 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,720 I mean, I've been sinking investors prizes in in recent 366 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,760 weeks. But you know, they did this last 367 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,840 season, didn't they, in the playful, they didn't turn up. 368 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,520 They didn't turn a lot of that Leicester team of course used to 369 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,440 ride for walls and of course they had a habit of not turning 370 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,400 up in the semi finals against Sheffield for two or three 371 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,520 years. So whether it's a mentality 372 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:45,960 thing from some of the Leicester Ryders. 373 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,840 And there's a lot of the Ipswich team of ex Brummies. 374 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,440 Yeah, we mentioned, I mentioned that to my dad. 375 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,480 It was almost like a Birmingham Walls Macy, wasn't it? 376 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,200 Some wise. Pete Clarke says congratulations 377 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,400 to Germany for winning son too. With speed of nations too. 378 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,640 Yeah, absolutely. Is that a? 379 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,720 Shock. Is that a shock? 380 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,480 Little bit. Yeah. 381 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,400 Is it? Yeah, a little. 382 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,040 Bit they are, they do seem to be emerging though. 383 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,240 Germany, you know, they didn't do quite somewhat in the scene. 384 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,320 You won this year. Blood own isn't blood own isn't 385 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,680 what you would call. He's a decent rider, but he's 386 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,520 not what he was. He'd call it the the top tier 387 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,200 rider. Is he? 388 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,240 Yeah. He's a good little rider though. 389 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,640 I do what? He puts him, he's nice to put. 390 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,600 He knows how to put himself. And then and the the other 391 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,080 German rider, his name has gone from from my head, Kyle 392 00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,480 Hookenbeck. There was somebody else as well. 393 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,880 But really, Yeah. But he's he seemed to have a bit 394 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,160 about him and maybe. Not Kyle. 395 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,880 Kyle Korog in the scene you wanted. 396 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,720 Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go, Rich Thomas says 397 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,680 and this is his opinion. The ref was awful last night, 398 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,160 thought it was Christine Turnbull. 399 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,040 I'd be interested to know what decision you thought he got. 400 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,720 He got wrong. I understand why the people 401 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,760 would be upset him at him awarding the race, but actually 402 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,440 there was no race at that point. Yeah. 403 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,480 I think it would have been very unfair really on Leicester to to 404 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,160 rerun it and then if I forgot that. 405 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,640 Tom Brennan had won the race. Calvin Calvin titles Lock a dog 406 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,880 with a bar for about 10 minutes. After that decision, wasn't he 407 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,080 just? Didn't want to let it go so. 408 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,120 Bless, bless him. So I mean, it's a matter of 409 00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:18,320 opinion, isn't it? It is a matter of opinion, but I 410 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,160 don't. Yeah, I did hear. 411 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,760 I did. I did hear you commenting when 412 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,400 Ryan Douglas was walking off the track after that crash with with 413 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,880 Edward, he said, well, Ron Douglas just seemed to be 414 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,280 Olympian. Well, he's got steel. 415 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,000 Sean Kelvin, you. Should have that you should 416 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,600 write. Your own for 20 odd years. 417 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,840 Yeah. My speed it all is Lib when 418 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,880 they've got the steel sheer 1. Brian Reese and he 13. 419 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,640 Emil was world class in that race. 420 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,560 He came to race yesterday, didn't he? 421 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,480 He was, he was on it in a way that he is it and he hasn't is. 422 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,880 It maybe a coincidence that the Polish playoffs have all been 423 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,440 done now are. You I bet. 424 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,640 I just think you're so cynical, he said, nodding his head. 425 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,160 Yeah, I do. They alluded to this decision. 426 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,880 The commentary didn't know that. They just seem to be in elements 427 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,160 of Polish clubs putting pressure on their riders around this time 428 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,600 of the year when they got playoffs so. 429 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,360 OK, Fred Graham says the referee last night did not put the 430 00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:11,760 lights on until the riders were on the third lap and Tom Brennan 431 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,920 was well behind at the time. Correct decision by the referee 432 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,840 Marie. Wholesale was. 433 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,680 He he was. It's worth a go for. 434 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,080 Something very interesting headwear. 435 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,400 I don't know if everybody else noticed that in. 436 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,320 What way? Sorry. 437 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,760 Yeah, right. He's had a word on that wrong 438 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,080 with my surname but. Oh, right. 439 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,760 Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah. 440 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,920 He was actually on the he was actually on the on the caption 441 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,280 as well. It was, it was lovely. 442 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,520 That's a lovely. That's an interesting piece of. 443 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:42,560 Headwear. Well done. 444 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,680 I want him in my club. I damn, I ain't got one. 445 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,240 Well put, by the way. Yeah, they must. 446 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,680 Yes, yeah. Well, it's not quite 9:00 yet, 447 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,840 is it? Not quite, not quite. 448 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,800 We're working towards it. Okay, so yeah, we've caught up 449 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,160 on all of those. So let's talk about Speedway 450 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,480 Nations or last night. What should we go with? 451 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,760 Speedway nations, we have the Speedway nations first. 452 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,000 I think so. First of all, from a British 453 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,640 point of view it was a disappointing performance really 454 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,400 as AI mean. I don't think you could have 455 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,400 faulted Robert Lambert much. He was probably he was the 456 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,680 better of the two. But felt a felt a semi final, 457 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,080 felt a little bit sort of like a bit of a bullying performance, 458 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,920 wasn't it really? But against the top nations 459 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,600 again, you know. And was it 1994, the last time a 460 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,160 British team won a major event on foreign soil? 461 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,240 Which I think was. The pairs in 84. 462 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,640 Peter Collins and Kenny Carter was Morton. 463 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,800 Chris Morton. Wouldn't be Kenny Carter and 464 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,560 Peter Collins in and I think so we're exactly the best of 465 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,880 friends about that were they? But yeah, so I mean, obviously 466 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,240 we've had two great Speedo and ocean wins on home saw that 467 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,240 Bellevue. But you know, again, I just 468 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,920 think it's a it's a competition that hasn't really captured 469 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,080 people's imagination. I mean, even for the final with 470 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,920 Poland in it, a lot of empty seats there weren't there 471 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,720 serving. But just it's anything I would. 472 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,200 Say is it does make the actual World Cup more important with 473 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,440 the only been four years every year, everywhere out three 474 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,920 years, isn't it? Everywhere else? 475 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,120 That's what they do, yeah. Although the World Cup, Nick, 476 00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:20,320 obviously we've got a World Cup next year and it's in Poland 477 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,480 again. Well, another fall. 478 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,040 Obviously the falls in Poland. It's, it's, it's on a temporary 479 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,360 track. Of course it's, it's, it's the 480 00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:28,480 Warsaw track which is obviously used for the JP. 481 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:34,440 So, you know, World Cup in the same final in the same country 482 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,520 that it was for the last one. I thought the idea was to share 483 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,080 them out like they're doing other sports, but. 484 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,480 No, Phil Taylor's just brought that up per crates for the speed 485 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,960 of nation, especially the final. Watch your thoughts about that, 486 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,680 guys. Yeah, I mean. 487 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,920 Well, I mean, there's certainly the two semi finals. 488 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,320 There's no Poland involved, so the stadiums were pretty much 489 00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:57,840 derelict, yes, Yeah. Lovely stadium and and maybe. 490 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,200 Beautiful. You know, was it purpose built? 491 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:00,880 Was it for? Yes. 492 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,000 Do we? Think. 493 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,000 Do we? So this is a double edged sword 494 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,160 of course. Do we think it's wrong that the 495 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,600 nation that's running the thing gets a free go into the final or 496 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,000 do we think they should have to go in the semi final as well? 497 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,600 There is a danger cut to that, of course. 498 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,760 That they don't qualify. And then you don't get the 499 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,200 crowds in the. Yeah, but they must a lot. 500 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,440 They must have lost a fortune on those two semifinals. 501 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,760 There wasn't. There was virtually nobody in 502 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,960 the stadium. There was, yeah, it was. 503 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,400 It was, yeah. Yeah, for a major event like 504 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,360 that's not a good look, I don't think so. 505 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,280 Yeah. Argentina, were they worthy of 506 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,320 their inclusion? Says Pete Clark. 507 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,640 They were danneman, weren't they? 508 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,600 Karate they would have done better with, with. 509 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,960 Oh no, he, he writes for Italy, doesn't know what I'm talking 510 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:53,040 about. The only thing I would say to 511 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,160 that is who would you have put in their in their place? 512 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,560 No, I looked quite impressive. They. 513 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,160 Did. Didn't. 514 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,960 They obviously just missed out on the end so. 515 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,960 They did, yeah, David James says for a reason. 516 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,400 I don't know Paul Speedway, probably because we haven't 517 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,400 mentioned them for a while and he feels like we should. 518 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,400 We will be coming on to. That because we're down to the 519 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,960 championship, the. Championship final. 520 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,760 We keep talking, we've talked about Paul and not having a 521 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,680 great season, but I think they're still on course for a 522 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,240 treble on this. David James says why? 523 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,400 Is it Paul Speedway or away in both cup finals? 524 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,520 Answers on the postcard I mean. I presume he means first for the 525 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,560 first leg. And the playoff final thing in 526 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,400 the in the knockout Cup final there in the their away as well, 527 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,960 Yeah. Again, is that against red car? 528 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,600 Yeah, red car. I mean, that's going to be a 529 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,520 real signal for red car, isn't it, because they're going to be 530 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,840 down about Paul beating them in the semi final even if. 531 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,920 It depends on how. It depends on how they, how they 532 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,240 approach it. If they come and say right, 533 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,640 we're going to get the bastards. Excuse me, I said. 534 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,320 Can't say. That bastards. 535 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,560 It's like a bird. What are you talking about? 536 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,680 That's that's the Michael Harris of 2013. 537 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,000 Yeah. So, yeah, well, I mean, we will 538 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,080 come to that, but we shouldn't possibly go now to the 539 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,120 Premiership final, which second leg on Thursday. 540 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:22,120 Yeah, you've got to say tips which have got one hand and 541 00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,160 another fingertip on that trophy, you would have thought. 542 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,200 You would have thought so. It's going to be, I mean, I've, 543 00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:30,760 you know, didn't, I mean, there was a big crowd at Leicester 544 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,880 last night but seemed a bit down in the the atmosphere. 545 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,760 Well, they never got going there, did they really? 546 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,840 They never really got going. Yeah. 547 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,880 So it's, I mean, and as I said, Leicester have done well with 548 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,680 Ipswich this season. I think they won there earlier 549 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,880 in the season, although it was when Ipswich had a few rods 550 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,560 missing. So I suppose they've got that 551 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,720 and I'm sure, I'm sure Stuart Dixon will have that that lesson 552 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,000 team fired up because he was clearly not happy with some of 553 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,520 their riders last night. And I wouldn't be surprised if 554 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,520 some of those riders aren't riding for Leicester next 555 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,720 season, depending on what the foot structure of the league is. 556 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,760 I don't, as I said before, it's not a very good look when you've 557 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,360 got riders in the player final sitting there on the phones 558 00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:14,760 during the meeting. I think there's, I think people 559 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,560 like Peter Adams or Graham Drury would have probably fired off 560 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,160 and I actually. Thought that that was against 561 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,640 somebody who'll get get the rule, can get the rule book out, 562 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,960 but I actually thought they was not actually allowed to be on 563 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,640 the phones. I was wondering that actually 564 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:34,240 thinking about it at the time. So I I know that as a centre 565 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:39,760 greener that I can call myself that, that we were told that we 566 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,120 shouldn't have our phones out, including case we're we're 567 00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:46,600 sending resorts to betting places and stuff like that. 568 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,280 Well I know if I wanted to before me at work and my geffer 569 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,040 walks past me and sees me on my phone. 570 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,520 Also get a severe reprimand if I'm not doing my job so. 571 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,960 What's the difference? I I don't see one if I'm honest, 572 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,920 Brian Reeson says Ipswich will be up for it on Thursday evening 573 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,800 in front of a huge crowd supporting the team over the 574 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,680 winning line. I mean, all of that is true. 575 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,480 Yeah, they've waited a long time for it, haven't they? 576 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,760 Ipswich, you know, obviously they're. 577 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,360 How many, how many years have we in the patents? 578 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:15,880 Said oh, Ipswich will win this year. 579 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,320 Oh, Ipswich, it's. Just never, I think, yeah, it's 580 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,520 it's really now and ever for think for Ipswich, isn't it? 581 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,800 So but you know, obviously they're the all power, the all 582 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,840 conquering time of 98 and that was the last time they won the 583 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,680 league. So it's been a it's been a long 584 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,680 time coming for the witches, but they'll I think when we Fox all 585 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,320 the way packed on them in the Fox all has had some good crowds 586 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,720 this season. You know, not surprisingly, with 587 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,600 the strength of the team. Ipswich you've added though, the 588 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,480 results they've added the previous three or Four Seasons. 589 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,720 Yeah, So they'll that applies to be packed as I would have 590 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,600 thought on on Thursday for the final and Ipswich definitely 591 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:55,760 warm favourites. OK, Ian Brennan says Paul gave 592 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,360 up the second leg for the knockout cop to get it moving 593 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,320 the league playoff final. Glasgow finished top so they get 594 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,240 second leg. Paul will have second leg for 595 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,040 the BSN series final. So there you go. 596 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,760 There you go, that question answered. 597 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,200 And David James says Waffington has no place since SGP after 598 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,160 major injuries and he's shouting about it. 599 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,200 Major injuries is neither here nor there. 600 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,600 First of all, because you could otherwise you could say the same 601 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,880 about Jason Doyle and then he went. 602 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,760 He came and won the damn thing after he had major injuries, if 603 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:35,640 you remember. So that's neither his previous 604 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:41,400 performances in the Grand Prix is leading up to that for were 605 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,240 purr. And that's, you know. 606 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,480 I think since he won the championship, his last 607 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,520 championship been 20. I see. 608 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,760 And I think he's been on the pot in the top three once and that 609 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,720 was 2020 and even that season he never really got anywhere in the 610 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,160 small league. Don't think he didn't win the 611 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,720 Grand Prix. No, he's just, I mean, at the 612 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,040 end of the day, if you were going to pick a British rider, I 613 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,200 think he would have to be in one. 614 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,600 I think TomTom Brennan's made a lot of progress, but don't think 615 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,040 he's anywhere near ready for that. 616 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,760 Do you not think he might be better than what not? 617 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:16,880 At the moment. Yeah, and we've got 22 British 618 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,800 riders in there. So it's not as if we've got, you 619 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,800 know, dearth of British riders. Certainly one of them is is is 620 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,120 sort of lining himself up in the next few years. 621 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,440 I need to become a big contender to win it so. 622 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,200 I think both of them could do that, some BB in that position. 623 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,920 I I call off thinking that Robert Lambert needs to come 624 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,560 back and race in the UK. I think that would would benefit 625 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,040 him. Obviously we had that one season 626 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,160 where Beauty didn't ride in the UK and he he's forming the top 627 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,000 level. Suffer didn't. 628 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:43,920 He did. He's come back. 629 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,440 To the Grand Prix. He's come back to race in 630 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,040 Britain and obviously third this year so. 631 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,960 David James points out the Waffend and nearly died with 15 632 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,960 broken bones in a coma. Yeah, yeah, I understand. 633 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,160 I understand that. I just don't think that's that's 634 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,320 that's not the main for me. That's not the major reason why 635 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,560 why I think it's possibly the wrong decision for him to be 636 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,360 included. It's the form coming up to it. 637 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,360 I've never been totally comfortable with the idea of 638 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,040 giving wild cards to riders anyway. 639 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,720 Well, this is the next thing that that there is something 640 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,240 wrong about that and that one of the things that I think is wrong 641 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,520 about it and but that they never do is explain why. 642 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,720 Why have these riders been picked? 643 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,440 What's the reasoning? And they that that that should 644 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,120 be done or. Do you wonder as well how much 645 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,960 of this is influenced by by sponsors? 646 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,440 So. So Pete Clark has just said to 647 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,440 help any Bromley fans coming to Buxton, someone will be spraying 648 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,080 the car park with dust. Thank you for that peace. 649 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,240 As I say, yeah. As I say, though, wild card is 650 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,520 something that's never really come to me. 651 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,360 With me, I think the only I think wild card you could you 652 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:10,600 could say in in sort of extreme circumstances trying to think 653 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,280 was it about 98 when Billy Hamill broke his back in the 654 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,760 last Grand Prix and missed out on qualification by points and 655 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,840 he was given a wild card for the following season that that I was 656 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,560 on board with because he clearly was going to re qualify for the 657 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:28,040 following season. But I mean, I've, I've said many 658 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,160 times, the first, the early years of the Grand Prix, the 659 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,840 qualification system was top three from the Continental 660 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,360 championship, top three from the Intercontinental and then the 661 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,840 World Under 21 championship winner. 662 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,800 I thought that was the fairest way to do it so. 663 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,480 How many real contenders are there in SGP? 664 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,320 3 or 4 at the most separate. Last year there was 2. 665 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,080 Wasn't there, Sir? I mean, that's just the nature 666 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,040 of the beast, isn't it? It's just the way it works. 667 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,720 Matty Peacock. Be interesting to see who the 668 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,040 Bears have as a guest tomorrow for Jodie Scott as Daryl 669 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,680 Richings has apparently broken his hand. 670 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,640 I didn't know that. I hope get well soon Daryl. 671 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,000 Yeah, well I think we ought to start building up to that one 672 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,160 now. Shouldn't be the camp 673 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,560 championship playoffs. So from the pool perspective, 674 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,440 their hopes of a double treble are still very much alive as a 675 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,360 semi final win over Red Car last weekend took the defending 676 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,560 league champions into yet another championship grand 677 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,760 final. The Parks were only 6 points 678 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,520 ahead after the first leg at Wimborne Rd, but they recorded 679 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,040 another six point win at the Echo Stadium to set up a title 680 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,200 showdown with Glasgow. Car boss Gary Havelock said he 681 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,840 was a thoroughly professional performance. 682 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,360 We came here and the plan was that we didn't have a six point 683 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,240 lead. It was the first leg and we were 684 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,360 going to try and win the match. We put a lot of importance into 685 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,320 starting well and obviously getting the five one in heat 2 686 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,000 took the pressure off. To be honest I wasn't under any 687 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,280 pressure or stress all night and that's a testament to how well 688 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,600 the lads rose. It's going to be, yeah. 689 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,760 I think it's going to be a good two leg mate. 690 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,120 Definitely going to be getting the stream for that one that's 691 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,480 got the potential to be a cracker. 692 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,199 There's been a good Rover I think built above the seat as a 693 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,840 couple of seats with Glasgow and. 694 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,840 Couldn't have two further clubs from each other. 695 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,440 Good, No, you couldn't. So, yeah, but I mean Glasgow, 696 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,960 obviously they won the league a couple of years ago and they'll 697 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,679 they'll really be keen to get it to get it back. 698 00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:32,520 And you know, we've seen the so the atmosphere that they 699 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,760 generated for the semi final, OK, obviously was against their 700 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,120 their local rivals, but they're going to need something similar 701 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,600 again. And they're going to want to go, 702 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,280 they're going to want to go to into the second leg with a with 703 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,880 a good league last go. But that's got that's got the 704 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,719 potential to be an absolute cracker. 705 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,360 I'm looking forward to to watching that one. 706 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,880 OK, so John Hope says there's any news on Adam Eckis and 707 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,280 David, Adam Ellis. I beg your pardon, Rich? 708 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,200 Tom. David Jones says, yeah, he's got 709 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,240 a bad back and it's really sore, so. 710 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,000 Yeah, yeah. He's had a couple of tough few 711 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,880 weeks and he's been nothing. He's been battered and bruised 712 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,840 anyway going into that, so yeah. Yeah. 713 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,520 I, I, I did wonder a little bit really whether, I mean, 714 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,640 obviously he only had one race. I just wonder whether he was 715 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,360 overriding a little bit of that. He did look a little bit like 716 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,600 that. He made a mistake, didn't he? 717 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,760 He's like, oh, I'm going to get back at you, sort of. 718 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,600 And he just went too far into the key. 719 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,760 Maybe been too sort of socked up for it so it's. 720 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,240 Going to happen, it's going to happen. 721 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,560 Rich Thomas makes the point that the SGP needs new riders to 722 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,560 spark some interest as it's becoming very stale rider wise. 723 00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:45,120 I mean, Brady Kurtz was the breath of fresh air last year, 724 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,400 but it wasn't I. But it's it's who you know, it's 725 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,320 who you can't just do it for the yeah. 726 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,720 You can't just keep picking different riders every year. 727 00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,120 You've got to you. Know, I mean, I tell you what 728 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,800 would give it a lot of interest. I said it at the beginning, 729 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,080 didn't I? Emil Saifudinov and Laguta. 730 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,640 That would give it a lot of interest. 731 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,320 Yeah, I just wish they'd get. I just wish they could get them 732 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,200 back in the series, Yeah. I don't see why the cards, No, 733 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,600 it makes no sense to me now. Because you, I mean, ML 734 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,800 Saifudinov is riding in Britain, yeah. 735 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,080 Hasn't faced any hostilities. No, no hostility whatsoever's 736 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,880 been nothing in the newspapers, nothing at all. 737 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,920 So yeah. And I know from from when 738 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,600 Saifudinov came to it, which came to towards when he was 739 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,360 riding fruit. So it was a massive queue. 740 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,200 There was obviously there's always a lot of people in the 741 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,360 pits anyway, they're getting autographs and chatting with 742 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,920 riders. There was a huge queue for for 743 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,600 Emil. And in fairness to the guy you 744 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,480 talk to every single supporter that you spoke to. 745 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,280 So, you know, I mean, obviously you've, you've obviously met him 746 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,320 at Birmingham. Really nice guy. 747 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,560 Yes, absolutely. But you know, Hoppity, a very 748 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,160 hard rider on the track but a lovely guy off it so. 749 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,640 Yeah, you've said it all, really. 750 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:05,320 Plymouth is further from Paul. Geography. 751 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,240 It's just geography. Yeah, Jeff Daniels says the new 752 00:37:09,240 --> 00:37:11,720 GP promote need to change the point scoring system. 753 00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:14,600 That's one thing we do need to talk about, of course, the GPS. 754 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,640 What I would like to know is if some if there's somebody out 755 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:22,640 there that has looked at the the points scoring system and and 756 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,760 done it for the old way of doing it and whether it would have 757 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,400 changed, I bet it would have results. 758 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:33,160 I bet it would have done that. Would that would be interesting. 759 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,280 My question is, why did it? Why did they change? 760 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:43,640 It must have been a good reason. Well, I think they did it 761 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,720 because they're trying to go and do it in line with Formula One. 762 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:52,320 That's what they do that that copied Formula One I'm sure. 763 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,000 I'm sure I've read somewhere that there's there was some talk 764 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,160 about the the next season the Grand Prix is going to be on 765 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,560 Sundays. I'm sure I've seen that 766 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,560 somewhere on Saturday. Somewhere, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 767 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,200 Somebody out there will now and we'll let us know I. 768 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,320 Can't see it happening to be honest because I think the what 769 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,360 would be the point? Yeah, and isn't that when the 770 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,240 Polish league, right. Yeah, I don't think the Polish 771 00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:13,960 league provides to be too impressed, but. 772 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,040 Wasn't it? Wasn't it on a Sunday? 773 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,080 But except for in this country. Except for this country, because 774 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,120 obviously you've got, you've got the, the plan is obviously to 775 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,000 have the Saturday and Sunday for the, for the Bellevue Grand 776 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,800 Prix. So, but obviously we have 777 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,920 overlooked the fact that the Grand Prix is going to have a 778 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:34,080 new sponsor, new Global Marauder in Mayfield Sports Events 779 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,920 Limited. They've reached an agreement 780 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:41,840 with Warner Brothers, Discovery Sports and the FIM as the new 781 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,640 Global Mariter of the Grand Prix series until 2031. 782 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,600 Warner Brothers remains committed to the sport as the 783 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,600 global broadcaster and rights distributor for the next six 784 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,520 seasons. And sure in the FIM will 785 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,800 continue to reach millions of viewers through their channels 786 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,640 and platforms such as as it's streaming services HBO Max and 787 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,760 Discovery Plus in Europe. Meanwhile, Mayfield will assume 788 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,720 the role of a global provider determined to deliver a fun, 789 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:09,600 focused and stable and sustainable future for a Full 790 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,640 throttle Sport by Rice 500CC box without brakes. 791 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,160 Sorry, faster than Formula One car. 792 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,840 That old legend I'm. Not so sure about, I've been a 793 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,440 bit underwhelmed really by by Warner Brothers's development in 794 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,600 Speedway. A lot of it seems to be some of 795 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,640 it seems to be more about cost cutting than a lot of other 796 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,120 things. I mean, I think the obvious one 797 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,080 of course is obviously losing Cardiff. 798 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,480 I mean, yeah, don't get me wrong. 799 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,360 We had certainly you had one exceptional meeting at Bellevue. 800 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,120 But we know I, I didn't, I didn't go to the either the 2 801 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,480 Grand Prixs. I would definitely would have 802 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,400 gone to the Cardiff Grand Prix, but just felt like another 803 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,600 meeting in a sense. I know, I know the Bellevue 804 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,120 track is obviously fastly period to them what the Cardiff track 805 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,000 was. But I think it's just the 806 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,360 atmosphere. It's everything that goes around 807 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,120 it really. So. 808 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:09,160 And yeah. So we should have a fanfare 809 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,080 because we've we've got a YouTube contributor and he's 810 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,200 remembered to look, Darren Reynolds says evening chaps, 811 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,720 riders on their phones, whatever next knitting, crochet. 812 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,560 If I were a Lions fan, I would be furious. 813 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,800 Name and shame them. Well, to be fair, Darren, I 814 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,000 think they probably will name and shame them because they're 815 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,960 probably the ones that won't be riding for Leicester next 816 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:35,520 season, so. Yeah, got a chance. 817 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,480 Yeah. I mean, that's a fairpoint. 818 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:40,840 If I was a Lions fan, I would be. 819 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,760 I'd be annoyed about annoyed. About that. 820 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,480 So I don't, as I said earlier, I don't think someone like Peter 821 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,960 Adams or. Grand Drury would have Grand 822 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,880 Drury Jesus. I don't think the phone, I think 823 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,000 the phone would have gone somewhere a bit dark. 824 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,840 Wouldn't you see one of his riders on a on a phone during 825 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,520 the maintenance? Yeah, in the Oil Drum, Yeah, 826 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,480 Pete Clark, who are the new GP promoters have never heard of 827 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:04,760 them. OK. 828 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,080 Hopefully we've already answered that question for. 829 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,800 Your sports events limited so we'll see what they we'll see 830 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,920 what they bring to the party so. Nick Skippy, Matthew says 831 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,320 Saifudinov, Laguna and the Under 21 champion should have been the 832 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,000 three wild cards. I can't argue. 833 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,880 I know, I know. Obviously they've given the the 834 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,480 place obviously goes to the European champion. 835 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,760 I suppose some ways you could argue that they should go with 836 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,640 all this all the the national championships and take the top 837 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,760 scoring non GP rider from each one of them and. 838 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,200 But you know what, what that would do, I mean, you could have 839 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,760 what what that would do would make those championships very, 840 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,240 very important. Being the British champion would 841 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:51,400 be that for instance, got you on a do you know, do you know what 842 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,360 I'm saying? That would make them very, very 843 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,800 important meetings for fans and for riders alike. 844 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,720 So I I quite like that idea actually. 845 00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:08,280 Fred Graham says. They just used the dates from 846 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,440 this year for 2026, so the dates all became Sunday's. 847 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,480 Hilarious from new SGP promoters. 848 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,240 Touch the guy, she's not the best of stars. 849 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,280 As in no. It's not. 850 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,920 Yeah, whoops. The time is coming up to quarter 851 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,240 2, so we obviously need to have a OK. 852 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,400 We have got quite a few fixtures of things coming up this week as 853 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:26,800 well so. Yeah, yeah. 854 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,600 We almost need a show every night. 855 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,960 And we didn't talk really talk about the championship, but we 856 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,000 did a little bit. But are you going to say, well, 857 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,520 we're going, we've got the the yeah. 858 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,680 So we'll find out who you're going to say in this, won't we? 859 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:40,840 Yeah. Okie, Dokie. 860 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,720 I do believe it's me to start this. 861 00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:45,640 Week, so the first one is the first leg of the Knockout Cup 862 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,800 final tomorrow night and that is pool against Red Car. 863 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:55,760 OK. I will say Paul by 12 points. 864 00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:02,680 Also Paul by 8, Paul by 10. My gosh, your sign is that you 865 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:07,760 knew what you're talking about? OK, also in the tomorrow night 866 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,280 in the National Development League, it is the Steelers 867 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:15,040 against the Leicester Lion Cubs. Yoga, we should say. 868 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,600 Well done to the Leicester Lion clubs, by the way. 869 00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:23,120 Yeah, yeah, go. Steelers by 4. 870 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,560 I'll go Leicester by 4. Draw we. 871 00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:30,640 Haven't even talked about Sheffield of course being up 872 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,760 going up for sale as well. So I. 873 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:38,600 I sort of had an inkling that that was going to happen about 3 874 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,440 or 4 months ago, but. Yeah, I had a rumours early in 875 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,120 the season, so OK, so the next one is Ipswich against Leicester 876 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,440 in the second leg of the Premiership final on Thursday. 877 00:43:50,040 --> 00:44:00,560 Leicester Leicester by 6. Really, really that would that 878 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,440 would take it to it because they're they're down by 6 879 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,640 amorite 4/4, but that would. Make it interesting. 880 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:11,120 It would make it interesting, I would love it to happen, I would 881 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,000 love it to happen. But however, I actually don't 882 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,320 think that those riders deserve it after yesterday, so I'm going 883 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,040 to say Ipswich by 12 again. I'm. 884 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,200 Going to say the sounding Ipswich by 12. 885 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,680 I just think I just get the impression really that there was 886 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,720 sort of the Labour nap, the balloon a little Leicester. 887 00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:33,120 OK, so on Friday, the second leg of the Cup final in the 888 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,160 Championship, it's Red Car against Poole. 889 00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:38,320 Why do I get red cup all every time? 890 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:39,960 Oh yeah, get your riders all week by. 891 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:45,360 The I'll say red car by 4. I'll say pull by 8 that one, OK. 892 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,360 I'll go red car by 8.

So some Mcgurkers rule as we've 927 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,000 drawn from the meeting to Harry Fletcher merger into the main 928 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,400 lineup with Harrison Rogers coming in as a reserve. 929 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,120 So we'll go with the full lineup then. 930 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,680 So you've got Luke Harrison, Ryan Ingram, Ace Piper, Jamie 931 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,680 Etherington, Will Cairns, Ben Trigger, Harriet Fletcher, 932 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:59,400 Freddie Hodder, Max Perry, Jodie Scott Cooper, Russian Stein 933 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,640 Piper, Vinny Ford, Charlie Southwick, Jordie Loftus and 934 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,040 Ashton Vale with Luke Harrison with Lee Harrison and Horace 935 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:13,320 Harrison Rogers as the reserves. Would you would you say Will 936 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,200 Carnes is probably the favourite? 937 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,080 I'd say he was, but I wouldn't rule out Russian. 938 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,920 Say, I wouldn't remember Cooper Russian. 939 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,840 I was seriously impressed with him when I saw him at 940 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,000 Birmingham. Yeah, I was too. 941 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,240 During the season, Freddie Hodder's obviously got quite a 942 00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:27,080 bit of experience now as well, so. 943 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,280 You know, and then you've got Ryan Ingram. 944 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,720 Ben Trigger Also Ben Trigger ride at Birmingham this season. 945 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,160 And he was quite impressive. As well. 946 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:41,520 When you're out for Lewis, Yeah. And you got riders like Ryan 947 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,280 Ingram hasn't got the experience, but he's been doing 948 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,120 this. As Phil Taylor's been saying, 15 949 00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:51,840 is his rider of the week is Ryan Ingram has been scored really 950 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,040 well at Plymouth for the Centurions and picked up some 951 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,040 good points as elsewhere as a guest. 952 00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:03,600 So David Albrighton says, thought Speedway was a summer 953 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:08,280 sport season getting longer. Let me tell you about long 954 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,200 seasons. Oh gosh, just. 955 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:11,680 Seems to have gone on this season. 956 00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:15,600 But you could you, I mean, you can remember seasons when we 957 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:21,680 had, what, 20 plus teams in the league, more than that even. 958 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,560 And those seasons were long. Yeah. 959 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:25,720 We. Didn't have great big long gaps 960 00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:28,080 in the fixture list, so you do now so. 961 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,400 I still need to get to the finals. 962 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,400 Just need to Michael for bring it there. 963 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,640 Just a very important thing. Just still on behalf of speed, I 964 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,920 haven't. I did post it during the 965 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,560 weekend. Just pass on our sincere 966 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,320 condolences to the family of Ron Terry Daily who passed away 967 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,160 obviously the weekend at the age of just 31. 968 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,320 Had ridden in the UK for a decade, racing in the NDL for 969 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:53,840 Mildenhall, Coventry, Stoke, Plymouth and Leicester and he's 970 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,440 spelled with Leicester in 2019 and was in soaring part of the 971 00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:01,160 team that lifted the NDL title. Still racing as well in the UK, 972 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,320 in New Zealand as well, even though he wasn't racing in the 973 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,280 UK. So vaulting and dances with with 974 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,040 Ryan's family. I did. 975 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,640 I did interview him a few years ago when I was doing work for 976 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,200 everyone and really nice guy. He was quite a tidy rider as 977 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,080 well. Quite. 978 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:22,240 Talented little rider so. Jeff Daniels going for Kurtz is 979 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,040 Right of the week. Yep, seems to be. 980 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,120 We seem to be even better. Yeah, yeah, we're even. 981 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,480 We've got a coin. Or have you got Scott Nichols? 982 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,600 His little gadget that he uses instead of tossing a coin? 983 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,000 You've seen that's I. Have seen that. 984 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:44,320 I mean, get a life, Scott. I think they already did it 985 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,400 because he he he tossed the coin and he lost. 986 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,360 Lost it. Yeah, it's. 987 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,400 A bit became a bit of a running joke, but yeah. 988 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,160 Well, there you go. Nobody in British spirit can 989 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:57,720 toss a coin. Then we've got real problems, 990 00:49:57,720 --> 00:49:58,120 haven't we? So. 991 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,360 I wondered where you was going there. 992 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:08,840 OK, so it's been an eventful couple of weeks since you've 993 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,160 been away. Yes. 994 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:16,960 The next time we see you, we'll be able to do a sort of end of 995 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,320 season report because we're not going to be on air for now for 996 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,200 another two weeks. I'm afraid folks, and this one's 997 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:24,880 my fault. I'm afraid but. 998 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,640 Because you never used to have any holidays and then you just 999 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,880 have too many holidays. Yeah, same like like you. 1000 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,040 It's what? That's what having a wife does. 1001 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,720 I don't have any choice in this. No, that's great. 1002 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,440 I just, I just, I just come home and she goes, we're going on 1003 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,520 holiday. Where are we going? 1004 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,280 Oh, OK. By the way, you're paying for 1005 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,480 it. Yeah, now, by the way, you've 1006 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,000 paid. For it, yeah, that's. 1007 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,520 Right. Yeah, Yeah. 1008 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,920 That's the way that. That's last four digits. 1009 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,680 But when we come back after two weeks it all the dust will be 1010 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,720 settled, we hope. We hope. 1011 00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:04,720 For meetings and we can sort of say Congrats to everybody. 1012 00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:07,760 We'll we'll have some sort of end of season a show and Yep. 1013 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,560 And a. Nomination we'll we will crown 1014 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,760 the prediction the winner. We will keep putting your 1015 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,400 predictions over for the next couple of weeks. 1016 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,040 Where are we with that? Who is? 1017 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,560 Who is? We currently have, we have a new 1018 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,120 leader at the moment and that's Elliot, who's managed to climb 1019 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,560 to the top guys but could. Be the only thing the Brummies 1020 00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:30,760 have won this year is this the. Yes, that is the So that's the 1021 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,120 one. Yes, that's the one. 1022 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,520 So Elliott 203. Skippy 201. 1023 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,600 Andrew Garner. Two, safe to say whatever else 1024 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,280 happens, it's going to go on AI think it's going to go somewhere 1025 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,720 different this year which. Is, yeah, yeah. 8. 1026 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,320 Points beyond Does this mean you've got to make another mug? 1027 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,080 Yeah. No. 1028 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,240 Does this mean you've got to fight someone and get it back? 1029 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,440 Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you. 1030 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,840 Can put elastic band over his name and scribble his eyes. 1031 00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,960 Yeah. So it looks like it the mug will 1032 00:51:59,960 --> 00:52:01,400 be going somewhere else this year. 1033 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,200 I'm stopping here. What you want to bet? 1034 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,720 I'm sorry. OK, OK. 1035 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,480 Only three points between that top 4, so 4 points between the 1036 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,040 top six points between the top 6. 1037 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,280 So it's. It's not over till the fat lady 1038 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,280 sings. I'm looking at those exact 1039 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,920 scores as well because that could very well come into play 1040 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,520 the way things are going and he's going to be the the decider 1041 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,640 so. And once again, I could be on 1042 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,800 top if you don't, if you point for pardon the button. 1043 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,920 There's only four points in it, so you pulled the point back on 1044 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,560 him last week, so. Well, there you go. 1045 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,200 I didn't. Do anything last week. 1046 00:52:34,720 --> 00:52:36,080 You got nil? Yeah, he got 1. 1047 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,800 He scored one point and you finished joint tops. 1048 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:39,960 So did I. So. 1049 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,600 Yeah, so you lot of useless predictors. 1050 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:50,240 Yeah, yeah, Good stuff. Good stuff, Shane Rowling says. 1051 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:56,600 Are the Brummies gone forever? Well, we certainly hope they're. 1052 00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,840 Not they're not. I don't know. 1053 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,840 I know, I know, things are being worked on, but how? 1054 00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:06,760 Yeah. I think it's going to be a 1055 00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:11,520 longer a longer and involved plan for birth Berg and I think 1056 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,280 for walls as well, really. So I know there's there's 1057 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,040 obviously hope at Coventry and and hope at Crowley as well. 1058 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,440 There's obviously a lot of noise been coming in recent months 1059 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:23,400 about Crowley. That's yeah. 1060 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,600 But Beacon from Scott, because obviously, you know, talking to 1061 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,240 John McGinnis last night, he obviously did mention that he's 1062 00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:30,920 going to ride again next season. So. 1063 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,800 I will say a. Hint about the structure of the 1064 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,000 league because I can't see Scott roising, you know, in the top 1065 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,280 league. But if that's the only league? 1066 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:41,440 Who knows? Who knows? 1067 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,920 I mean, he probably doesn't know what's going to happen yet. 1068 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,680 I don't anybody actually has sat down and said, well, this is 1069 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,240 what's going to happen. As far as far as other Brahmins 1070 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:56,360 gone forever, I don't know. I, I do think that Sheffield is 1071 00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:00,160 significant. I can't say how, but I just, I 1072 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,960 feel that that is significant. I don't think Sheffield need to 1073 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,840 worry. I think they're going to be OK. 1074 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:11,480 But yeah, we'll see. Never say never. 1075 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,680 No. Well, we thought they'd gone. 1076 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,600 I've got to be honest, I never expected to see them come back 1077 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,720 when they did in 2007. I thought they'd gone, you know, 1078 00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:22,400 from in 1984. Did we? 1079 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:23,920 Was it 86? I thought. 1080 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,640 I thought we'd gone then. I thought that was it. 1081 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,440 There's no way it can be come back. 1082 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,280 Yeah. Some, obviously somebody else 1083 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,160 that I know disagree. Yes, yes. 1084 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:32,400 Yeah. Got his way in the. 1085 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:33,520 End and thank. Yeah. 1086 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,400 And. He's trying again now he's the 1087 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,280 letters have already started going, you know, should point 1088 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,760 out. Rich Thomas says the show is 1089 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,480 getting like Speedway, long gaps between shows. 1090 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:47,520 Yeah, I do apologise and and and I mean on a personal net, a lot 1091 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,080 of that this year was because of there's family problems and 1092 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,720 stuff that was going on that I'm not going to go into, but that's 1093 00:54:52,720 --> 00:54:58,800 what happened. We'll end up doing 1717 shows 1094 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:03,960 this season and we normally like 2425 S yeah. 1095 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,040 We're we have mentioned this before, but we are going to be 1096 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,960 coming back next season. I've heard a lot of a lot of 1097 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,960 people have said to me, oh, I'm going to miss it when you're not 1098 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,120 doing it next season. Well, we. 1099 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,080 Are we are coming next? Season, it's going to be a very 1100 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:18,200 different show obviously because neither of our clubs are going 1101 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,240 to be riding so but we are going to be sort of, it's like more of 1102 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,760 a holistic view also we don't. Know what What clubs will be 1103 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:27,200 riding. Well, that, that's right. 1104 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:32,800 And we, and we will at some points round about Christmas or 1105 00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,840 whenever we'll do a show because we'll find out what's happening 1106 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:38,880 about next year and we'll, there'll be a big show about 1107 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,760 that when we when that actually happens and we know what's 1108 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,760 happening.
