1
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,440
Well, good evening and welcome 
to this week's Speedway Tavern, 

2
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,840
myself, Chris Brown, the one and
only MacBook. 

3
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,320
Good evening. 
And. 

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,040
And the empty chair in front of 
me. 

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,520
And of course, not GI, he should
be joining us very, very 

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,440
shortly. 
So what's? 

7
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,720
The company fine for the 
lightness listen. 

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,840
Just can't get this stuff. 
I mean, after 15 years, you'd 

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,840
think you'd remember. 
Well, you'd think so, but he's 

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,400
just never mind. 
But as I say, GI should be 

11
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,280
joining us very, very shortly. 
Yeah, Yeah, I think we've got a 

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,840
bit to bit to talk about, 
especially this. 

13
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:55,400
We have well at the moment 
obviously as you know, the first

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,280
leg of the championship semi 
final between Paul and Red Car 

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,080
is underway at the moment and 
it's been very nip and tuck so 

16
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,920
far. 
We've got it on on the industry 

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,800
and it was Paul 15 Red Car 9. 
But the bears are currently I 

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,800
think is it a 51 there or not? 
Just a good look. 

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,000
Yes, they are. 
They're on A51. 

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,760
So Reg are going to claw it back
to just two points down to a 

21
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,560
Wimborne Rd. 
So very close first leg so far. 

22
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,720
Of course this was the one that 
was supposed to be being staged 

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,320
last week. 
But of course the rain as it has

24
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:28,320
been on quite a few times over 
the last week has intervened. 

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,600
So we will be keeping a close 
tabs on the on that one. 

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,280
Yeah, the the rain seems to have
played a part in the playoffs. 

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,640
It certainly does. 
It's, it's just a frustrating 

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,040
thing or there's a not pulling 
apart. 

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,640
So I think the I think the the 
manager's office turned up, but 

30
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,520
no, it's it's been frustrating 
really over the last few, last 

31
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,840
few meetings because the place 
has obviously all been set in 

32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,080
stone for for scheduling and the
rain has has intervened. 

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,000
Yeah, Ben, Ben's right. 
You do need a lot of. 

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Replacement. 
I think so. 

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,360
I mean, he's on a low. 
Average unfortunately, so we 

36
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,600
have to we've we can't be a bit 
you can get really but. 

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,360
Apparently you can't get a lower
average than that, so. 

38
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,720
Yeah, it's about an assessed 2 I
think or something like that. 

39
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,120
So. 
Speaking of below average. 

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,680
Stop talking about it though. 
Is it so? 

41
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,520
Are you doing all right? 
Go on, get your beans on and so 

42
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,560
I'll sort about it. 
Hello everyone. 

43
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,960
We started. 
Yeah, we have. 

44
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
I've made your apologies. 

45
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,280
Don't worry. 
OK? 

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,920
Yeah, sorry. 
I had what can only be described

47
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,280
as a decorating accident. 
I'm not going any further. 

48
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Than that that's OK. 
Oh, OK, She saw a pot of pot of 

49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,200
pints at you. 
Yeah. 

50
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:45,160
Something like that. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,880
Something involving my son. 
That's all right. 

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,200
OK. 
Let's just, yeah, yeah. 

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,880
It's not in my good books. 
Let's put it that one. 

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Been said about something. 
Calm. 

55
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,240
Yeah, so I thought you could 
spend this, spend an hour with 

56
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,720
us then. 
So calm yourself down. 

57
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:01,680
So where? 
Where are we? 

58
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,040
We just we just actually started
to open show and Ben's Ben and. 

59
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,520
Ben said we need a Rod reply. 
Yeah, yeah. 

60
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:13,000
So. 
We've just obviously. 

61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,560
Been nobody good enough you 
couldn't afford them, Sorry. 

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,360
Couldn't get anybody on a low 
enough, but we have just been 

63
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,320
talking about this. 
So we've got the first leg of 

64
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,760
the finally being. 
Of course, it's finally 

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,600
happening after the rain off 
from last week. 

66
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,000
Pool against red car, nip and 
tuck so far. 

67
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,320
Series of five ones between each
times and it's currently 1614 in

68
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,160
favour of pool at the moment. 
Interesting, keeping it tight. 

69
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Pretty class. 
I think red car will will really

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,320
want to keep it class when they,
you know, pool have got a 

71
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,040
tremendous record at Wimborne 
Rd. 

72
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,360
I think Ray Carl lost their by 
12 earlier in the season. 

73
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,080
So they I think they'll probably
want something similar to to 

74
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,400
that and certainly not any more 
than that. 

75
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,560
I think to to to Ray Carl later 
next week. 

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,240
We should talk about what a 
great job Edinburgh did. 

77
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,720
I'm not sure I I personally 
think they've let Glasgow off 

78
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,240
the hook a little bit at. 
The end of the meeting. 

79
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,200
You know, I think I did watch 
the meeting. 

80
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,360
I don't know whether you did. 
I'm not. 

81
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,720
I wasn't able to. 
I can't even talk. 

82
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,760
Yeah, I did. 
I did watch the meeting. 

83
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,959
Yeah, it was, you know, again, 
Ryan affected. 

84
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,840
Edinburgh were dominant in the 
early stages of the meeting. 

85
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:24,960
They were. 
Glasgow's guising was absolutely

86
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,400
atrocious. 
Obviously Chris Harris is the 

87
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,880
Glasgow #1 so I presume he was 
giving guiding lessons. 

88
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,360
It was their guiding was that 
ball, but I think like Edinburgh

89
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,000
left the level hook a little 
bit, you know, 12, that's 14 

90
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,480
points. 
Yeah, I think they would have 

91
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,880
taken that at the beginning of 
the. 

92
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,440
I think they would have taken it
at the start but you know at one

93
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,280
point, at one point there were 
20 points in front. 

94
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,440
So I think they'll be the 
support that they've let the 

95
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,800
local rivals get back in a 
little bit and Glasgow are more 

96
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,160
than capable pull in that back 
of Ashfield. 

97
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,680
Still makes it interesting 
although. 

98
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,640
I think we've done OK at 
Ashfield this season. 

99
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,120
The times they've been there, I 
mean, obviously they've been 

100
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,600
quite a few times this season 
so. 

101
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,480
And the other person we should 
congratulate, of course, the new

102
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,920
world champion, 6 times world 
champion Bartus. 

103
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,760
Mosley, Yeah. 
He couldn't have done any more, 

104
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,600
could he? 
Brady hurts. 

105
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,240
Really. 
It's, it's crazy. 

106
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,320
You think he's won. 
He's won 50% of the Grand Prix 

107
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,480
this season and he still hasn't 
won the world championship. 

108
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Yeah, a lot of people are going 
to look at the Sprint races and 

109
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,960
and things like that, but what's
ultimately cost him was that 

110
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,160
losing that chain. 
It's Prague, which obviously put

111
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,560
him out of the, the final in the
Czech Grand Prix. 

112
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,680
I think that's, that's the one 
that subsidy come back and beat 

113
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,280
him in the end to, to be as 
dominant as he's been in the 

114
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:42,000
second-half of the season and to
miss out by one point. 

115
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,360
You know, he took it very well 
to be fair. 

116
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,640
But I think he, you know, as 
I've said last week, smiles like

117
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,280
I needed to finish second in the
Grand Prix. 

118
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:51,160
Even if smiled, it wouldn't take
the title. 

119
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,640
And again, it was a it's it's, 
it's the Grand Prix, as it's 

120
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,480
been for much of the second-half
of the season. 

121
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,560
Easily the best 2 riders 
dominant to the rest of the 

122
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,600
field and they were the best 
tier orders on on Saturday. 

123
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,320
In terms of the meeting itself, 
the Foot saw the first day. 

124
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,280
First day, it was tremendous and
rubbing around. 

125
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,760
And then it wasn't. 
Yeah. 

126
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:17,120
You know, I don't know what it 
is with the JP track 

127
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:18,800
preparation. 
It just seems to me at the 

128
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,320
moment that they just seem to 
flood the track with water every

129
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,200
single track ride and it 
doesn't, it doesn't really help 

130
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,880
the track, unfortunately. 
I've always been an advocate of 

131
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880
with the Grand Prix, they should
just give the regular track 

132
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,680
staff the job and it's really 
like you prepare the track as 

133
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,560
you would prepare normally. 
So if you screw up it's on you. 

134
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,480
But not not to sort of try and 
do it for them because at the 

135
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,360
end of the day, the track stuff 
that these tracks know the best 

136
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,720
way to have their tracks. 
You would think. 

137
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,160
You would think. 
OK, so Paul, just been another 

138
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,080
three all and it's another three
all at the moment. 

139
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,880
You think number six with 
Richard Lawson leading the way 

140
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,880
for the Pirates. 
So that is still going to remain

141
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,320
2 points in that one. 
So that's the fact. 

142
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,360
That's just a a rerun of heat 
number six. 

143
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,840
So we're going to come into heat
#7. 

144
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,320
So as I say, we'll be keeping 
close tabs in this race you see 

145
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,200
on this meeting during the 
course of the show. 

146
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,720
There's a few few more things to
talk about Harry Redknapp. 

147
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,440
We've just. 
Been discussing that so. 

148
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,960
Who knew we was going to be 
talking about Harry Redknapp? 

149
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,480
Yeah. 
What? 

150
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,920
What's what's people's thoughts 
on that? 

151
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,080
Good thing, bad thing, 
indifference. 

152
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,680
Can I, can I put you on it? 
I mean, I do know. 

153
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,160
I've heard you've. 
Obviously met him a couple. 

154
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,040
Of times yeah, he's I should say
he's a bit of a dreamer, I. 

155
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,840
Don't want to? 
I don't want to play on 

156
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,240
anybody's parade, but I mean, 
it's got to be good for Speedway

157
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,560
because even even even now, like
he's got people talking about 

158
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,040
Speedway. 
So, I mean, he's probably done 

159
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,600
the job, hasn't it? 
Well, if that, if that's if he 

160
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,040
does that, then he has done the 
job. 

161
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,040
But yeah, is is it the thing we 
need to be sorting out at the 

162
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,720
moment? 
We need tracks. 

163
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,320
We need tracks and. 
With the best rule in the world,

164
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,560
he's not going to be able to 
open new tracks, as they say. 

165
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,680
I, I, I must say, nobody talking
about plans on that. 

166
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,200
You know, we, I mean individual 
clubs, yes, I know, you know, we

167
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,200
know Coventry's trying, we know 
that this thing's happening in 

168
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,840
the Cradley world, etcetera, 
etcetera. 

169
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,160
But there's no this is what 
we're going to try and do to 

170
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,920
encourage tracks, encourage 
people to buy tracks, to get get

171
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,880
there. 
You must become to make Speedway

172
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,520
a wider sport. 
I, I have to say I did. 

173
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,559
I did read his his press 
release. 

174
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,679
So I don't for one minute 
believe he's written that. 

175
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,720
OK, no, I don't you. 
Know I think the the wording of 

176
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,760
it, it feels a bit like it's 
been done by on on AI, to be 

177
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,080
honest. 
No more him, but and. 

178
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,040
A regular at Paul. 
Sorry, Clive. 

179
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,560
Yeah, although I've lost a lot 
of pool fans on them on the BSF 

180
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:52,880
have said that they've never 
seen him there. 

181
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,040
So unless he goes in disguise or
something. 

182
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,040
So, but you know, it's, it's got
a few of the mainstream. 

183
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,640
Yeah, yeah. 
You know there's. 

184
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,400
One bit of public some of the 
vote, the national newspapers. 

185
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,520
There's not. 
Pictures there's a certain 

186
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,240
there's a certain sports based 
radio station in London news now

187
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,640
we. 
Want a bit of an accident I 

188
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,200
think. 
We might mention who've been 

189
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,080
talking about that. 
So yeah, at the end of the day, 

190
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,360
we'll, we'll have to see what it
what it brings. 

191
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,040
You know, it's brought a little 
bit of publicity in the short 

192
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,840
term, but long term is what 
speed do I need to try and get 

193
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,040
itself sorted out? 
So we're just looking at the 

194
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:34,160
first spending heat #7 I. 
Do agree what David said that it

195
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,400
does need to be back on 
mainstream TV. 

196
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,560
Does need to be? 
Back on mainstream TV? 

197
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,840
Yeah, absolutely. 
That would be huge, but I I 

198
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,560
don't see any scope for it at 
the moment of things made. 

199
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:50,400
For the BBC, isn't it because 
motor BBC, it used to be the 

200
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,600
home of motor sports? 
Yeah. 

201
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,000
They've got nothing. 
Got nothing. 

202
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,680
No, no, Yeah. 
So. 

203
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,440
That's right. 
He's got up and he's walking 

204
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,520
away. 
That's good. 

205
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,840
Just. 
First classic first bend instead

206
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,800
of that one. 
So yeah, trackless looks fairly 

207
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,400
doesn't look like what's rain 
down there. 

208
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,160
So he doesn't look particularly 
wet so so it isn't as wet as 

209
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,480
Edinburgh was on Friday, so. 
Yeah, we seem to have got into a

210
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,520
big spell of wet weather at the 
moment, just at the wrong time, 

211
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,120
but it still looks OK at Paula, 
the ground looks fine, so 

212
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,160
they're. 
Still out for Peterborough 

213
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,080
Panthers after the council 
meetings as Brian Racing. 

214
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,360
Yeah, I did read that earlier. 
Sounds like, you know, there's 

215
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,920
things that have have gone on 
there that sort of have gone not

216
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,400
gone through the correct 
protocol. 

217
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,440
So I think it's still think 
it's, it's a long shot, but you 

218
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,960
know, there's you know, it's 
still there or what's what's 

219
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,040
left of the place. 
He's still there. 

220
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,680
Obviously. 
I think the track is now has now

221
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:56,560
gone and of course the stadium 
is now derelict. 

222
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:01,400
So we'll just have to see. 
It'd be great to see Speedo back

223
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,240
in, back in Peter Brook. 
It's a fact. 

224
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,360
It was a fabulous race track. 
I mean, obviously you went to 

225
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,560
Peter Brook couple of times, 
didn't you? 

226
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:08,720
You left. 
Peter Brook, really good. 

227
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,360
Racetrack. 
Hopefully there'll be something 

228
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,120
to come with that, but we'll 
have to wait and see. 

229
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,200
We should also mention Team GB. 
Congratulations one. 

230
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,240
Is it the pairs? 
Wasn't it? 

231
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,960
Yes. 
World long track champions name?

232
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,760
Oh yes. 
Yeah. 

233
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,080
Where was that held? 
Oh, good question. 

234
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,080
I hate you for France to ask. 
Grant me because I can't 

235
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,400
remember, somebody out there 
will tell me was in the states 

236
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,240
that. 
Was in the States. 

237
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,080
No, no. 
It was in Europe, wasn't It was 

238
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:34,920
in Europe, I think. 
Oh, right. 

239
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,840
OK, was it might? 
Have been in France, I think. 

240
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,520
Was it France? 
I think it's going to be. 

241
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,120
France or Germany probably isn't
it. 

242
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,720
I did see. 
Clips of it, decent crowd at 

243
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,360
all. 
Long track picks up good crowds,

244
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,600
but then it's it's a sort of 
it's a bit like stuck car race 

245
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,520
and it's a once in A and a 
while. 

246
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,040
So what's the difference? 
Between long track and and I bet

247
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,360
you. 
Can't guess from the from the 

248
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,320
postal authority, just a long. 
Track is it? 

249
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,880
Is it just one long track? 
It it's, it's it's not, it's a 

250
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,040
Oval, but it's big. 
Yeah. 

251
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,280
It's big, yeah. 
And I think they even have gears

252
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,880
on the bikes don't they do have 
1st and 2nd I believe it used. 

253
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,480
To be huge, it was huge, wasn't 
it a one time long track, you 

254
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,560
know, every every top speed or I
used to used to do long track as

255
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,320
well, didn't I? 
So, but it's really since the 

256
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,800
emergence of the JP, the long 
track scene is sort of, you 

257
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,080
know, gone back a little bit. 
So maybe maybe it's making a bit

258
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,400
of a comeback. 
So been a few. 

259
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:33,240
British riders have won the 
thing, haven't there? 

260
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,920
There's been, I think Peter 
Collins has won it. 

261
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,720
Yeah, Calvin. 
Tyson won it three times. 

262
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,200
I think Simon Wig obviously was 
the dominant, you know, God rest

263
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,040
his soul. 
He, I think he went five times, 

264
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,800
didn't he didn't. 
The flying hairpin win it. 

265
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,040
You, you, you don't get the 
regular blank there. 

266
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,840
Michael Lee, Michael. 
Lee. 

267
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,760
Yeah, I think Michael Lee, I'm 
not. 

268
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,920
Sure, somebody out there will 
tell, will tell us or be might 

269
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,800
just go so. 
I mean, I'm guessing they're 

270
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,440
gonna they're gonna have special
tracks as well. 

271
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:01,400
Where are they? 
Where are they in this country? 

272
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,120
We don't have. 
Any in this country we haven't. 

273
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,320
Got any ice? 
Actually, France and Germany are

274
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,840
the the staples. 
Yeah, just just to confirm, Paul

275
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,600
Stott was excluded in in #7 he 
was a judge to have come off on 

276
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,760
his own. 
So he's leaving currently at the

277
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,040
moment. 
That looks like it's going to be

278
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,920
another 3 all in that race #7 
down the pool. 

279
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,400
So. 
It's a tight old meeting. 

280
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,480
Yeah, this will suit red car, I 
think. 

281
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,080
Absolutely, absolutely suit red 
car. 

282
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,400
They don't want to. 
I've got a few. 

283
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,360
To go through comments through 
to go through on the chat box. 

284
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:41,640
So let's see if we can let's see
so Reginald Barker, the 

285
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,760
$1,000,000 question is going to 
win the playoff final or presume

286
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,160
it means the Premiership. 
So well, we don't even know 

287
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,120
who's in it yet. 
Do we know Ipswich are in 

288
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,360
congratulations to them. 
It was a bridge too far from for

289
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,000
Bellevue as we thought it would 
be. 

290
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,840
Yeah. 
It was, I don't know whether you

291
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,000
watched it, did you on on 
Thursday, so. 

292
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,000
I've watched it since. 
Yeah, poor mate. 

293
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,480
It wasn't really poor mate in 
Bellevue were never really in it

294
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,480
were they? 
Very wet track as well. 

295
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,480
I think it was pretty clear. 
Certainly from Brady Curtis 

296
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,800
point of view that he obviously 
had one eye on. 

297
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,440
I think he probably had one eye 
on most of his second eye on on 

298
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,120
Saturday to be fair. 
Didn't say it really seemed to 

299
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,160
be taking any. 
Yeah, I think it was that sort 

300
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,560
of track as well where you're 
going to get filled in. 

301
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,400
Wet wasn't it? 
And you? 

302
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,200
I suppose the last thing he 
wanted to be doing was was being

303
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,040
going off to going off to 
hospital 2 days before he was 

304
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,200
due for a date of destiny. 
Possibly in Voyens. 

305
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,080
As Rich Thomas says, at least he
puts a bit more effort in the GP

306
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,360
than for Bellevue. 
I presume it means Brady Curt's 

307
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,960
there. 
Yeah, it's understandable, 

308
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,680
really, given the state of the 
the track. 

309
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,480
I mean, the track was racable. 
Don't get me wrong. 

310
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,800
It's typical October track, but 
if you get filled in, it's. 

311
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,880
Understandable. 
But I think, you know, I think 

312
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,080
certainly, I think if you were a
Bellevue, if I need paid money 

313
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,760
to go all the way down to it 
should you'd probably be told to

314
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,920
feel a little bit miffed, really
so. 

315
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,520
But he. 
Wasn't the only reason they 

316
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,520
lost. 
You can't lay lay the blame on 

317
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,560
totally on that doorstep. 
Yeah. 

318
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,840
Brian Reese and said mildenall 
first meeting of the season this

319
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,160
Saturday. 
Better later than never. 

320
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,000
It is lace lighting of 
September. 

321
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,360
So Ben Creswell says he's going 
to be going to Mildenhall. 

322
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,040
Rich Thomas says Speedway would 
go totally against the BBC 

323
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,960
climate crisis agenda unless it 
was electric bikes. 

324
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,400
Is that true? 
These got these things that not 

325
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,880
run on petrol, they're run on 
methanol. 

326
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,960
And as I understand it, the only
product of side product of 

327
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,640
methanol is water. 
So does it go again? 

328
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,040
In fact, it would seem to me to 
totally go in line with pair. 

329
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,040
Depends on how educated people 
are, I guess. 

330
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,600
Well, I guess, but you know. 
Whatever happened to electric 

331
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:56,720
bikes? 
I think that I thought was going

332
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,400
to be the next big thing I did. 
They're still. 

333
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,080
Doing it, I'm still, they're 
still. 

334
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,240
That's about 10 years ago. 
I remember I I personally think 

335
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,240
it would be a good idea, but I 
know I'm in I'm in a minority of

336
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,280
1 manamana. 
I know I'm in a minority of one 

337
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:20,720
on that one, but I just So what,
let's get into that argument. 

338
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,760
What people have said to me is 
that that that it wouldn't be 

339
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,760
Speedway because you wouldn't 
have the noise. 

340
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,480
And I say you've got to look at 
the positives of that. 

341
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,560
Wouldn't be great to hear the 
riders talking to each other, 

342
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,840
shouting to each other and 
saying you do you get up the 

343
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,720
inside of it? 
Yeah. 

344
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,920
And all of that. 
And, and you know, it would, it 

345
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,880
would be, it wouldn't be 
Speedway as we know it now, but 

346
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,480
it would be different. 
And maybe both could exist. 

347
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,840
I don't know. 
But it would be, it would be an 

348
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,160
interesting thing, I think that 
it's all going to. 

349
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,680
Come down so I'm just having a 
battle to put this top OK, it's 

350
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,360
it's all going to really come 
down to cost I guess as well, 

351
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,160
isn't it? 
So if if you get to a situation 

352
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,240
where E box work and they bring 
down the cost, cost singing 

353
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,800
speed, right, then you've got to
be looking at it. 

354
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,400
So and people talk about talk 
about the noise. 

355
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,960
I mean the box are a lot quieter
now than the word anyway really 

356
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:22,640
with the the new silences so. 
Brian Reese's asked us what do 

357
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,760
we think of witches versus 
Bellevue last Thursday. 

358
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,400
I believe we've answered that 
question. 

359
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,520
It was a. 
Question professional jobs of 

360
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,160
Ipswich, but Bellevue didn't 
really put them. 

361
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,280
They didn't, really. 
Turn up did that no I. 

362
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,600
Don't. 
I think I've got the impression 

363
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,720
really from the first leg 
Bellevue fit. 

364
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,680
I think it was pretty clear 
Bellevue didn't really feel 

365
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,080
they'd done enough in the first 
leg and. 

366
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,920
I didn't imagine it, Phil Taylor
says. 

367
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,200
Michael Lee won the world long 
track final in 1981. 

368
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,560
There you go. 
We haven't asked the answer, the

369
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,000
question that we was asked 
though, which is who do we think

370
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,200
is going to win the title? 
Are we still favouring 

371
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,280
Leicester? 
I'm still going for. 

372
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,240
Leicester, yeah, I just think 
they've come to form at the 

373
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,800
right time. 
Linda Buck has some somebody 

374
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,720
I've never met. 
I think it might be somebody. 

375
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,080
Else on her page. 
Ipswich seemed to make hard work

376
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,840
of overcoming Bellevue last 
Monday. 

377
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,080
Not sure I'd agree. 
So I'd personally write the 

378
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,400
winners of the Leicester 
Sheffield semi finals the 

379
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,080
favourites, but I would agree 
with that. 

380
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:29,120
But I think Leicester, that just
come into form, haven't they? 

381
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:30,520
Yeah, they've been. 
The best, they've been the best 

382
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,040
team over the last few weeks. 
But you know, I think you'd be, 

383
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,680
I think you'd be foolish to 
write Ipswich off and I think, I

384
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,400
think you'd be foolish to write 
with Sheffield off as well. 

385
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:43,320
But to me, I would be leaning 
towards the Lions really. 

386
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,480
Didn't they have a long track 
meeting at host at horse racing 

387
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,080
site in Cannock in the 70s? 
I think I have a major 1 I 

388
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,240
think. 
I think what's happened to that 

389
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,200
site I. 
Don't remember whether they 

390
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,880
don't know. 
About that, but I know about 25 

391
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,440
years. 
Ago Chris Van Stratton was 

392
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,720
looking at getting along 
tracking to Dunstal Park, who 

393
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:15,080
was told quite emphatically no. 
So I don't know. 

394
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,640
I certainly don't. 
I don't think anything long 

395
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:22,640
track, making finals, being 
staged in in, it was late. 

396
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,920
He's done well. 
He's 21 minutes. 

397
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,720
It's so much. 
Money docked out of his wages 

398
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,200
this week. 
You know what I mean? 

399
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,040
Wages. 
Wages. 

400
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:37,840
I dream of wages. 
Well, I'm sure somebody out 

401
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,600
there will do a bit of research 
on that for us. 

402
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,360
Clive would. 
You Major Olson Michael Lee won 

403
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:48,200
the world championship Lawrence 
Rogers chats water held a long 

404
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,120
track meeting when that was it 
was obviously it was for me 

405
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:52,880
before I was born. 
I would imagine that was 70s, 

406
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,120
wasn't it so. 
John Hope, Yes, I was there. 

407
00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:00,560
I think Agan Muller won it. 
Track there still at Chase 

408
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Water. 
Wow. 

409
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,640
It was a trotting track. 
OK, OK. 

410
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,800
And is it like, is it like shale
or that I don't know, I've 

411
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,200
never. 
Actually been to it looks like 

412
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,760
shale when I've seen when I've 
seen. 

413
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,440
Footage of it? 
I've only ever seen older 

414
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,760
footage of it from years ago 
maybe. 

415
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,400
Somebody out there will have the
answer to that. 

416
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,240
What's the? 
What's the surface on a? 

417
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,120
Normally on a long track. 
Do you know what I think I'd 

418
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:26,720
like to go and see a long track.
All this talk. 

419
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,720
I know. 
Yeah, I think I. 

420
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,960
Would have Oh yeah, different. 
Got excited about it yeah, yeah,

421
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,680
it sounds interesting. 
Perhaps there was a long 

422
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,040
travelling. 
Hill above Exeter in the 70s 

423
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,720
yeah. 
So Alden, I think that was where

424
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,760
the Exeter were looking at 
reopening after the lost count, 

425
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,360
after the lost of the county 
grounds. 

426
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:44,920
So I know I've gone past it a 
few times on the way down to 

427
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,640
Plymouth. 
So there's quite some way out of

428
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,120
Exeter, but that would, you 
know, fit obviously. 

429
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:53,040
I mean, obviously we know I've 
been major, of course I had a 

430
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,520
lengthy spell at Extern, luckily
one of his most successful 

431
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,760
spells of his career. 
So we're into heating them 

432
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,120
bright now at Wimborne Rd. 
It's still just the two points 

433
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:07,680
in it between the Pirates and 
the Bears. 

434
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:13,880
So I think at the halfway stage 
red car with the the ones that 

435
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,120
they take this in a shot, 
wouldn't they? 

436
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,080
Yeah. 
At the moment. 

437
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,760
So yeah, OK, they expect to 
start. 

438
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:30,240
Let's have a chat about Mr 
Bartok Schmidt, the only 

439
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,000
Birmingham world champion. 
I'm going to claim it off. 

440
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,560
Hands, Nielsen Apart from hands.
Nielsen and Jason Doyle, only 

441
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,880
one of three Birmingham Yeah, 
people. 

442
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,960
Forget Jason Doyle. 
Jason Doyle that one season of 

443
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,040
Birmingham, didn't he? 
So. 

444
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,320
He did on the in in the air that
we nearly won the damn thing 

445
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,240
until. 
Let's not talk about Mr Greg 

446
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,000
Hancock. 
Come on, Red car. 

447
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,720
Yeah. 
So is he the greatest of all 

448
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,960
time? 
It's difficult, isn't? 

449
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,040
It it's always a difficult 
comparing years, isn't it? 

450
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,280
You know, I mean the obvious 
pedal, the obvious pale storms 

451
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,720
of course, is with Tony 
Richardson and Ivan managing 

452
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,480
because they were the only other
two that won 6 championships. 

453
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:24,040
You know, would he have done as 
well racing the sort of Speedway

454
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,360
that and the sort of box that I 
haven't had in the 70s? 

455
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:27,600
We don't know. 
We don't. 

456
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,120
Know you can only ride the 
Speedway that you can, that 

457
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:35,640
you've got, yeah. 
It's so suddenly a lot of ways 

458
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,960
that you know, I've major isn't 
around and he walks. 

459
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,440
It'd be great to get his opinion
on, on, on Smarsley, because I 

460
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,680
always, I always thought he was 
a little bit dismissive towards 

461
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,600
Tony Ricardson when he equalled 
the record 20 years ago when 

462
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,760
obviously Ricardson was there. 
Because obviously he's involved 

463
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,080
in the, in the Grand Prix and 
he's, you know, he's, I think he

464
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,240
was very, very generous in his 
congratulations with Smarsley. 

465
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,080
Whether he, whether he probably 
felt like that, we don't know. 

466
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,160
I think he was interviewed, 
wasn't he on the on during the 

467
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,280
meeting? 
And he said he, you know, he 

468
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,360
wished he'd he wished he hadn't 
caught him, but quite as quickly

469
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:09,280
as he asked. 
Because I think there's every 

470
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,840
chance that smalls it might not 
just equal the record, but go on

471
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,560
and. 
But has he now got somebody that

472
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,200
can give him a run for his money
is are we about to see a really 

473
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,280
big 10 year rival? 
I don't know whether this is 

474
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,560
Marshall, it's got 10 years left
in him, but you know a rival to 

475
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,920
Chip to compare with some of the
great rivals of not Panel and 

476
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,720
Carter and etcetera, etcetera. 
It'd be nice to think so, yes. 

477
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,000
I mean, he's been the one thing 
that Kurtz won't have next 

478
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,200
season. 
He won't have the element of 

479
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,840
surprise because I think he's 
probably caught a few people as 

480
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,640
this season, You know, next 
season's going to be different 

481
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,440
sort of pressure because people 
are going to expect him to to 

482
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,280
push on. 
You know, I think he's just hope

483
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,240
that he's going to be not going 
to be one of those rods that's 

484
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,320
just going to find himself in 
the right place, but at the 

485
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,760
wrong time. 
Or someone like Freddie Linger, 

486
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,120
for example, or or going further
back, Lee Adams, who outstanding

487
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:06,120
riders but just riding in an 
area where there was just 

488
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:09,200
someone that was else that was 
just so much more dominant if 

489
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,080
he'd. 
Got the same results like two 

490
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,880
seasons ago. 
Yeah, he would have won. 

491
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,520
Absolutely, yeah. 
And. 

492
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,520
That's is that something that 
they need to look at? 

493
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,480
Yeah. 
I think it's this format. 

494
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,560
Favour smarsh like well I. 
Always. 

495
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,000
You always feel that they're 
trying to Formula One went 

496
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,360
through this little route, 
didn't you, many years ago, of 

497
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:29,840
trying to negate Michael 
Schumacher's dominance. 

498
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,200
In the end, of course, they did 
managed to succeed in doing it. 

499
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,480
So whether the FIM is still 
trying to do the same thing with

500
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,000
with with smiles like remains to
be seen. 

501
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,680
But you know, they've changed 
the format a few times, haven't 

502
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,960
they? 
And smiles like still proven 

503
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:50,160
that he's able to to go out on. 
He's definitely not been the his

504
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,160
normal dominant self this year. 
He hasn't. 

505
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,120
Needed to be really though, as. 
Well, that's true. 

506
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:58,240
That's true. 
He's nearly needed to burn. 

507
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,200
He's back close. 
You know, I mean, he's, as I 

508
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,600
say, he was one. 
Sprint race away from not 

509
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,960
winning it really when you think
about it, and Kurtz is as. 

510
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,360
I say Kurt has won five Grand 
Prix, the only rider did in the 

511
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,000
history of the JP's over 30 
years to win 5 grand prize in a 

512
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,320
row and he's, you know, 150% of 
the grand prize. 

513
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,640
But he's never managed to get in
front of small Stick and small 

514
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,800
stick had the advantage of being
able to get in the lead early on

515
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,680
and he just said enough to just 
about keep him a Bay. 

516
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,200
But you know, he's been in the 
fight this season. 

517
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,440
I suppose in some ways you I 
would probably say that of the 

518
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,640
six, this is probably the one 
that's going to give small to 

519
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,680
the most satisfaction because he
had a real. 

520
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,240
Genuine. 
Rival for the Championship this 

521
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,680
season, he did seem. 
Quite happy about it, yeah. 

522
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,960
Absolutely, yeah. 
So it's it's a, it's a great, 

523
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,400
you know, a great villain for 
him to obviously now, because 

524
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,840
he's ultimately going to be 
probably in terms of numbers, 

525
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,960
he's probably going to go on to 
be the greatest rider of all 

526
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,760
time. 
You know, I don't, I don't see 

527
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,800
anything stopping him from 
adding to the six championships.

528
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:02,800
Yeah. 
And. 

529
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,840
He's one, doesn't he? 
And he needs one to be the 

530
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,960
greatest. 
If you look at the score, it's 

531
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,200
actually 2 point lead to red 
car. 

532
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:18,200
At the moment so interesting so 
but Paul are on the five one at 

533
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,720
the moment through Louis Kerr 
and Zach Cook in the number 9. 

534
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,320
So they are going to turn that 
round and go back in front by 

535
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,680
the looks of it boring barring 
anything major happening in the 

536
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,280
last lap or so doesn't look like
that's going to happen. 

537
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,600
So that'll. 
Be two point lead to pull, yeah.

538
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:35,400
So. 
Nip and tuck. 

539
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,360
Yeah, looks like a class 
meeting. 

540
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:40,320
So we haven't, we've obviously 
been dipping in and out of it 

541
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,480
obviously what the what the 
actual racing is like. 

542
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,720
But in terms of the score line 
after some pretty one sided plus

543
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:53,160
that we've seen so far then? 
Right, right. 

544
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,040
So there's a few more questions 
turned up here. 

545
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,600
Who would you guys like to see 
as the wild cards for next 

546
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,480
season's GP series? 
If you'd have asked me last 

547
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:08,760
year, I would have said e-mail 
Emil Slifutanov an Arsene 

548
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,280
Lagusa. 
Yeah, that'd be a good one. 

549
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,720
It's, it's a biotic attention 
for a lot of people, isn't it? 

550
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,600
That's, you know, because 
especially with Ligurti, because

551
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,840
Ligurti has never had the chance
to defend the championship that 

552
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,040
he won. 
It almost, it's almost, there's 

553
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,320
almost a little bit of mistake 
really about Ligeti because you 

554
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,680
do wonder whether that was just 
a one off thing or whether he 

555
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,080
could have done it again. 
Can't. 

556
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,160
Really see him coming back at 
the same level. 

557
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,600
Can you? 
It'd be. 

558
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:36,480
Difficult, very, very difficult.
I think I'm also off. 

559
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,160
I don't think he's been quite as
quite himself this season. 

560
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,920
You know, the times I've seen 
him roasting fruits, which he 

561
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,640
hasn't been at the sort of level
that he's done over the last 

562
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,120
couple of years. 
I thought he he was sort of I 

563
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,840
mean, he was very off killer at 
Bellevue in the first leg and he

564
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,880
wasn't much better, I don't 
think in the in the in the 

565
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,800
second leg alone. 
I don't wonder whether he's 

566
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,040
Polish club must have. 
I mean, don't forget, of course,

567
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,640
he injured of course, last 
season in the playoffs and he 

568
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,000
ended them not riding in the 
blast. 

569
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,160
So it was ultimate for by all 
accounts. 

570
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,320
But he's he's Polish club sort 
of put pressure on him to do it,

571
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,200
not to come and ride over here. 
So David O Brox has lost about 

572
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,560
smiles, and they've gone 15 
versus to give others a bit of a

573
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:19,640
chance. 
It's not. 

574
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,360
Unheard of. 
No, they do it. 

575
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:24,160
Then they. 
Do it in the 60s with 15 metres 

576
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,120
funding. 
They put them on. 

577
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:28,920
There was there was a sort of. 
A Barry Briggs. 

578
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,080
There's some of the Australian 
riders, yeah, they used to put. 

579
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,960
Them on handicaps, didn't they? 
Because those four, those five 

580
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:40,000
were completely dominant. 
Wow. 

581
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,160
So, yeah, only in Speedway, as 
we say. 

582
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,760
That's incredible, Ben Reeson 
says. 

583
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,000
If Emil Saifudinov can sort out 
his bike chips, which will be 

584
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,120
powerful in the playoffs, Well, 
I certainly. 

585
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,400
Don't think you can write it 
switch off. 

586
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,560
They are I mean they are I've 
I've this season, they have been

587
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,360
the best. 
I mean we. 

588
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,640
Did say at the beginning of the 
season that that was head and 

589
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,360
shoulders above everybody. 
Yeah, there always just. 

590
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,720
Seems to be something goes wrong
for it. 

591
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,200
Fish doesn't. 
It's almost like it seems like 

592
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,960
they get to there and then 
they're in the wrong place. 

593
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,400
Right place, but at the wrong 
time. 

594
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,760
Ben Creswell says Tom Brennan 
for a wild card. 

595
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,200
Not sure I I. 
Think he's I think his time's 

596
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,920
going to come. 
I think he might be the next. 

597
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,240
Couple of years, I think his 
time. 

598
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,280
Will come, obviously. 
We've got 2 in there in in 

599
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,840
Danbury and. 
Robert. 

600
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,000
Lambert or Lambert, after the 
highs of of last season, has had

601
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,640
a very disappointing season. 
I think he's probably quite 

602
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,360
fortunate that he's managed to 
get back in automatically really

603
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,280
so. 
Maybe that'll give him a kick up

604
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,160
the bottom, yeah. 
And so, I mean, the one man that

605
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,000
we probably should talk about, 
it was looked like, I thought 

606
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,920
towards the end of the, I think 
he was going to be a real 

607
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,080
spoiler, and that was Michael 
Gibson Jensen. 

608
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,720
He's writing exceptionally well,
didn't he? 

609
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,120
He did very. 
Very brows and colourful 

610
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,280
Leathers on artists. 
So he stood out. 

611
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,880
But he was he was excellent. 
And you know, he managed to beat

612
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,560
smiles like in his last ride. 
And you know, going into that 

613
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,800
final, you just have the feeling
that maybe he could be the one 

614
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,840
that could decide because. 
I think looking. 

615
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,920
At looking at the final, I just 
wonder whether Kurtz was maybe a

616
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,920
little bit too fair on on 
smalls. 

617
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,200
Like if I'd have been in curt 
shoes, I would have made sure 

618
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,040
smalls it was was hanging off 
the fence the first corner. 

619
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,160
That's what he had to do. 
And then he just, he just 

620
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,760
disappeared off, got his head 
down and then just had a chance 

621
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,080
to look 2 laps later and smiled.
It was behind him so and. 

622
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,000
And wasn't trying. 
Yeah, I mean you can. 

623
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,560
See from you can see from his 
body language when he when he 

624
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,200
crossed the line to win the JP 
you could you just saw his head 

625
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,080
sort of go down a little bit. 
Just think all that's enough. 

626
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,920
Still not doing so but. 
Possibly the most successful 

627
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,480
rider not to win a world 
championship. 

628
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,400
Oh, we've got. 
Another another big off at I 

629
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,400
think that's Tobias Thompson. 
I think that's come off on the 

630
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,280
first bend that's in heat #10 
down at Wimborne Rd. 

631
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,440
Just a little bit of bunching 
between him and the Roger in 

632
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,840
yellow. 
So we'll. 

633
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,080
See what the referee decides 
about that. 

634
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,880
I believe there was something up
on the the YouTube don't forget.

635
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,360
To get your ride at the weekend 
as well, please. 

636
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,720
Yeah, I think you have a good 
thing about that. 

637
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,400
Hello, long time no see. 
Not been to Speedway since 

638
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,680
Newcastle closed. 
Is it true that Harry Ritner, 

639
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,680
Harry Redknapp is getting 
involved? 

640
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,200
Yes, it is true. 
Yes, it is true. 

641
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,680
We've been having a little chat 
about it. 

642
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,680
He seems to be there in more in 
a sort of media role, trying to 

643
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,480
get us in the publicity of the 
thing up. 

644
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:45,000
Yeah, there it is from Talk 
Sport. 

645
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,240
Harried Rednapp has in his 
sporting role, but it's nothing 

646
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,160
to do with football. 
The legendary English manager 

647
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,280
has joined the management team 
of Speedway Futures Limited. 

648
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,480
This company holds all the 
rights for Speedway in the UK. 

649
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,360
Speedway's the sport and it 
tells them that you know about 

650
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,480
the sport. 
Apparently there are 4 divisions

651
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,680
of Speedway in the UK. 
Really. 

652
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,160
OK, He's he's working already. 
He's got 20. 7 clubs. 

653
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:13,560
There's not 27 clubs. 
Speaking about it, he told The 

654
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,800
Sun I watch it on TNT Sports and
it's fantastic entertainment. 

655
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,360
These guys are going from nought
to 60 quicker than a Formula One

656
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,560
car with no brakes and they risk
life and limp every time they 

657
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,120
race. 
I think that was written for him

658
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,240
as well. 
That's what I. 

659
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Said yeah. 
I ended up a few miles from Paul

660
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,480
Stadium and back in the day I 
often took my my boys Mark and 

661
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,120
Jamie to the Speedo to watch the
brave daredevils in action. 

662
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,400
It's still a grace evening out 
that it always was. 

663
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,240
It really is a breathtaking bad 
sports on on your door, 

664
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,440
Stephanie. 
It's the same all over the 

665
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,400
country. 
Places like Bellevue, Sheffield,

666
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,880
Oxford, Leicester, Italy's 
Glasgow and England to name but 

667
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,520
a few of the iconic venues and. 
Nearly all of them it's not. 

668
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:52,480
It's a name. 
It's a name. 

669
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:58,400
The ones that's left, basically.
So, yeah, interesting. 

670
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,160
So, well, we, we, you know, I 
mean it's already getting yeah 

671
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,280
coverage. 
So we, we will see what happens.

672
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,080
We will see what happens. 
OK, right of the week, Dan 

673
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,720
Thompson, says Phil Taylor. 
Right of the week Dan Thompson 

674
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,760
says Brian. 
Racing like Dan Thompson, like 

675
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,000
Woody's, Donford Patrick. 
Dudek as a wild card? 

676
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,600
That's a definitely a 
possibility, I think. 

677
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,360
That's a good show, Patrick 
Dudek. 

678
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,880
He hasn't really hit the 
heights. 

679
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,400
They're just showing the gates 
that's there. 

680
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,800
So the outside gates at the 
moment to a pool, I mean gate 

681
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,960
falls 144% to the Rice, Rice's 
gate ones 133%. 

682
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,600
So it's definitely the inside or
the outside that's got the 

683
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,000
advantage so far in that one 
just. 

684
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
For the record, my ride of the 
week will be Dan, Dan Thompson. 

685
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Thompson, there we go. 
He's certainly of. 

686
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,760
The. 
Come on a bit this year isn't I 

687
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,840
think. 
Purely for the achievement, I'd 

688
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,040
have to be off a bottle 
smoothly, you know, to win, to 

689
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,160
become on in the third. 
That's not a bad call either. 

690
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,360
Six World Championships and now 
I'm thinking about it. 

691
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,360
Maybe I should go for Brady 
Curtis 5 GPS. 

692
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,760
Not just five GPS in the sheets,
but on the Truss on the truck. 

693
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,480
Yeah, nobody's ever done. 
Nobody smiles. 

694
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:07,920
Even smiles. 
He's never done it. 

695
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,560
Rick Artson never did it either,
son. 

696
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,840
Yeah, I'm. 
Actually going to change my 

697
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,639
mind. 
I'm going to say Brady Kurtz. 

698
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:16,719
He's writing. 
All the stones. 

699
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,320
That's some. 
It's news to me that he can 

700
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,320
stand. 
Writing as well. 

701
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,920
Dan Thompson's still the White. 
Head so you know well. 

702
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,440
There you go. 
What you're worried about? 

703
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:35,840
OK, so I mean, we're coming up 
to the the pointy end of the 

704
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,280
season there the. 
Business end so. 

705
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,600
I'd like to know you guys, well,
who do you think's going to win 

706
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,239
the premiership and who do you 
think's going to win the 

707
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:52,920
championship? 
Dudek is set to to win the SEC, 

708
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,679
so we'll qualify for GOP Direct.
So. 

709
00:34:56,639 --> 00:34:59,560
This Championship play for, it's
going to be tight, isn't it? 

710
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,320
Because you, you would think the
Winkies team would be Edinburgh.

711
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,200
I mean they did shock Glasgow a 
little bit on on Friday. 

712
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,640
Although I'm as I say, I'm not 
totally convinced. 

713
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,120
I certainly. 
Wouldn't rule 1414 it's a good. 

714
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,600
Lead, but Glasgow I think are 
capable of putting that back 

715
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,440
because they've had some 
thumping winds up in Asheville 

716
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,800
this season. 
I think a lot of that's going to

717
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,560
depend on on Edinburgh and keep 
it tight in the early races and 

718
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,120
just frustrate Edinburgh a 
little bit. 

719
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,200
It's the place is. 
Going to be rocking because if 

720
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,160
you're an Edinburgh fan, Oh 
yeah, you've got, you've got to 

721
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,320
be there, haven't you? 
You've got to be. 

722
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,400
Yeah, it's. 
You know, it was seemed a bit 

723
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,040
low key the atmosphere on the 
they came across when we watched

724
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,600
it on Friday. 
So but he'll be you know, I'm 

725
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,920
sure there'll be an absolutely 
raucous atmosphere upper dash 

726
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,240
field. 
I think it's not until next week

727
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:48,320
actually this semi fall. 
So there's a bit of a long wait 

728
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,040
as well. 
So there's quite a long wait for

729
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,800
Edinburgh to sort of, you know, 
Stew over their lead a little 

730
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:54,600
bit, really. 
So. 

731
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,400
But this one at the moment is Is
this anybody? 

732
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:58,440
Is this? 
Yeah. 

733
00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,840
So I mean you, Paul, I mean 
this. 

734
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,880
Leg is anybody's, let alone the 
red. 

735
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,600
Red Car will if you give. 
If you asked Red car before the 

736
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,040
meeting, 2 points. 
Lose defeat by two points. 

737
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,200
You'd snap their hands off. 
Haven't. 

738
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,560
Got it yet so haven't got it yet
so. 

739
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,840
But Paul, you know. 
How many hits have we got? 

740
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,240
This we were just on to hit #10 
so it's a bit. 

741
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:22,040
Slow at the moment, yeah, so. 
Would you like to say sod well? 

742
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,680
I think you've just said it. 
OK, so because you're talking 

743
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,840
about Duncan Pemberton, do you 
want to read it? 

744
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:33,080
Sod Dan Thompson I had a £3 each
way on him at 55 to one on SGP 2

745
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,280
and came forth. 
Sounds like a you problem. 

746
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,440
OK, 810 about to start. 
So we've got. 

747
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:49,040
Lawson Thompson, Jason Edwards 
and Nick Morris blaster in the 

748
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,880
past there for the Birmingham 
fans and for Wolves fans as 

749
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,160
well. 
Of course it's all gone. 

750
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,280
Quiet about Nick Morris now, but
he's really. 

751
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,480
Now it's sort of been forgotten 
about, doesn't it? 

752
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,960
Doesn't Been strucked under the 
carpet and just pretend it never

753
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,240
happened I think. 
That's how it should be. 

754
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,120
He's done his time, as they say.
Yeah, it's all. 

755
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,400
Forgotten about? 
Probably. 

756
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,560
Possibly. 
Never Speedway. 

757
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,440
Funds don't forget. 
No, they don't forget. 

758
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,560
Anything do they, Brian? 
I've still haven't forgotten 

759
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,720
Greg. 
Greg Hancock. 

760
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:30,480
So how long ago was that? 
That's 12 years ago. 12 years 

761
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,400
ago didn't feel like 12 years 
doesn't so it's happened since 

762
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,320
then so. 
From Birmingham point of view, 

763
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,720
not anything much good really. 
Well, 2. 

764
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:42,440
National League wins, of course 
fantastic and or. 

765
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,120
Another one they're they're not 
taking any prisoners on that 

766
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,360
track tonight, are they? 
Yeah. 

767
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,160
Paul did get that red car, 
looked like they got it on A51, 

768
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,200
but Josh, Ned was just went a 
little bit too wide there I 

769
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,640
think. 
He might have been helped a 

770
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,040
little bit wide there, I 
thought. 

771
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,080
He looked like a camel on his 
own a little bit, to be honest. 

772
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,800
I just think he went into the he
went in and got it all wrong. 

773
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,360
We're just going to see the 
replay now. 

774
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,960
So just got it there. 
So yeah, so so they're both 

775
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:12,720
Morris and it looks like his 
team has just paid him a little 

776
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:13,840
bit. 
So he was in his. 

777
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:14,600
Way, wasn't he? 
Yeah. 

778
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,080
So he was somewhere else. 
What? 

779
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,880
Do you reckon? 
I think you've got to exclude 

780
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,080
somebody for that myself. 
Are you going to exclude 

781
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,840
difficult one? 
I think you well as far as 

782
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,200
ultimately it's going to be 
somebody. 

783
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,520
From red car you'd have to. 
Exclude Edwards because he was 

784
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,960
the one that came off the fallen
rod to stop the race, didn't he?

785
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,040
So let's. 
Find out what's. 

786
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,800
Yep, it is. 
Justin Edwards has been 

787
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,600
excluded, so that's a huge blow 
for the red car. 

788
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,400
So there's a jump as well from 
Thompson. 

789
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,000
I don't know whether he touched 
the types there. 

790
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,560
Look like he touched the types 
as well. 

791
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:45,680
So we'll have a look at this 
again. 

792
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,720
As he touched the types, it's 
peaks, touched the type, peaks, 

793
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,680
the peak touched the type. 
It's exclusion, isn't it? 

794
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,480
So let's have a look at it 
again. 

795
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,080
I'm sure he's just, let's just 
have a look. 

796
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,400
They've slowed it right down. 
So I have to say I've been 

797
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,680
really. 
Yeah, yes. 

798
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,080
God says it's the first time in 
the world that I've seen that. 

799
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,440
Will that mean that Edwards will
be put back in? 

800
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,520
Well, the white, the white light
went, so it's gone up now the 

801
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,960
blue lights come on so. 
It's all happening, people. 

802
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,720
The phone's going to be red. 
Hot phone's going to be red. 

803
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,280
Yeah, Middle. 
O0 we're already in the the in 

804
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,720
the office of notice with the 
phone so. 

805
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,840
What good will it do? 
Has anybody out there, I'll put 

806
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,760
this question to you? 
Has anybody ever seen the 

807
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,840
referee change his mind after a 
phone call? 

808
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,840
Are are they allowed to I, I. 
Have seen it once, I think 

809
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:40,560
they're. 
Allowed to, yeah. 

810
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,240
I have seen it, I have seen it 
once. 

811
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:45,000
It was in the Grand Prix, I 
can't remember which Grand Prix 

812
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,760
it was. 
And the other Odders all 

813
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,200
threatened to walk out the 
meeting. 

814
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,520
So we have to change his mind 
back again. 

815
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,520
No. 
And I think that referee, I 

816
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,880
don't think that referee referee
the Grand Prix meeting again so.

817
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,400
Point in being a referee, I'm 
not. 

818
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,920
Surprised. 
I'm not surprised. 

819
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:01,120
It's like saying. 
We're not playing. 

820
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,120
One says no. 
He's definitely touched it 

821
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,120
there. 
We're just looking at it again. 

822
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,480
He's definitely just caught the 
peak. 

823
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:14,520
So this one, I don't know 
whether the referee, you don't 

824
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,680
know whether the referee stopped
the rice because we can't see 

825
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,360
the red lights from the well he.
Can't stop the rice because he 

826
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,240
he did exclude the white 
initially. 

827
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,160
So we'll see what happens. 
Let's see what happens. 

828
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,240
I've got to say, this is the 
first time I've first time in a 

829
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:29,600
while I've seen bears since 
coverage. 

830
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,480
Their coverage is fantastic. 
It's great, isn't it? 

831
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,960
I think. 
This is, I mean, considering the

832
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,880
budget the TNT got, I think this
blasted out of the water that 

833
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,320
should. 
Be shown to themselves, yeah. 

834
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,720
OK. 
Well, the time is coming up to 

835
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:44,880
quarter to we have got a few 
meetings that are scheduled. 

836
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,720
Whether they'll go ahead, yeah, 
we don't know. 

837
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:49,520
So how are we? 
Doing with the the old table. 

838
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,200
How's that going? 
It's Monty. 

839
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,400
Tyson the top Still there's only
a couple of points between the 

840
00:40:54,400 --> 00:41:04,200
top four or five South Skippy on
187 Elliot 186 Andrew 186 as 

841
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,600
well Rich Thomas 185 and Simon 
still in there 183 as well. 

842
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,120
Chris the rig of 182 Bill Taylor
182. 

843
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,400
So I think any one of those 
seven much still fancy the 

844
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,880
chances of winning it and looks 
like it's going to go right down

845
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,200
to the last couple of weeks. 
I still. 

846
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,360
Think I'm going to win it so. 
I think I've been that high for 

847
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,520
a long time. 
Consider I'm missed about. 

848
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:25,920
Sorry, what? 
Have you been doing 3? 

849
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,160
Or 4 meetings I missed? 
Yeah, OK. 

850
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,880
So let's have a look at the 
fixtures then for this week and 

851
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,040
we will start tomorrow night 
with the semi final of the BSN 

852
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,400
series, the second leg Oxford 
against Pool. 

853
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:51,960
That's up to you, man. 
I will go pull by 4. 

854
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:58,440
Pull by 12. 
Where'd that come from? 

855
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,320
Yeah, I don't know where that 
come from. 

856
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,720
I think Paul are going to be 
smart enough to this whatever 

857
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:06,440
happens. 
So I'm going to say Paul by 8, 

858
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,120
OK. 
Then Next up on Thursday is the 

859
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:13,760
now the first leg of the semi 
final in the Premiership, 

860
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,440
Sheffield against Leicester. 
That's. 

861
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:23,800
Up to you, me. 
I'm going to go Leicester by 4. 

862
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,800
They have one at Sheffield, 
already have the session, so 

863
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:28,960
yeah. 
Yeah, I thought so. 

864
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,080
I've got to do it. 
I've got to say, Andrew, you 

865
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,520
know I'm going. 
To say that as well, OK, I'm 

866
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,920
going to say Andrew, OK, 
wouldn't surprise me. 

867
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:43,360
So OK, Next up is Edinburgh 
against Oxford. 

868
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,840
So Jason Edwards, he's back in 
the region, he's back in the 

869
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,360
rear. 
And by the way, so obviously the

870
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,200
race Will Cairns, obviously he's
gone in as the reserve 

871
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,280
replacement for Tobias Thompson.
It's not a bad. 

872
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,480
It's not a bad replacement, is 
it? 

873
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,520
So you've got 2. 
Points So far you've heard this,

874
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,280
but. 
If you've just seen that red car

875
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,920
manager just said ref seen blue 
helmet peak touched the tapes so

876
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:09,360
change his mind. 
OK, so Dave's obviously watching

877
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,760
the meeting for us, so yeah, 
yeah. 

878
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,400
Edinburgh against Oxford in the.
National League. 

879
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:19,560
This is up to me, isn't it? 
Edinburgh by 10? 

880
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,080
I've actually put Edinburgh by 
16 so I'm going to change it to 

881
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,240
because it just came up as 
Edinburgh by 16. 

882
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:32,000
It's a Freudian slip. 
Should I go that? 

883
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,840
Edinburgh by 14. 
I'll go Edinburgh by 12. 

884
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,920
OK, and that's the first of a 
double header at Armadale 

885
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,040
because you've got the. 
After that you've got another 

886
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,640
National League meeting and 
you've got Edinburgh against the

887
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,920
Leicester Lion Cubs. 
That's that's for you, Matt 

888
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:57,520
Edinburgh. 
By 4. 

889
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,680
Leicester by 4. 
It's almost, I've almost got to 

890
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,080
say, a draw there, haven't I? 
Really? 

891
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:13,600
Edinburgh by 4 as well. 
OK meanwhile on Friday in the 

892
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,800
BSN semi final, first leg 
Glasgow, Glasgow against Red 

893
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,440
Car. 
All the major competitions in 

894
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,680
the Championship and they're 
still not decided. 

895
00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:25,920
Just so many. 
Of them up north as well. 

896
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:30,000
Yeah, you're, that's not, it's 
Chris Cisco. 

897
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,600
Who was it Glasgow versus Red 
car Glasgow. 

898
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:39,480
Glasgow by 6. 
Glasgow by 14. 

899
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,320
Glasgow by 8. 
I'll say on that one, OK? 

900
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,600
The second leg of that semi 
final is the following day. 

901
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,680
That's 1:00 on Saturday 
afternoon. 

902
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:56,360
Red car against Glasgow? 
And I'm going to say red car by 

903
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,680
8. 
Red car by 6 I'll say on that 

904
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:05,840
one. 
Red car by. 4. 

905
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:08,520
OK. 
Yeah, Rear on the feet 10 has 

906
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,400
just taken place. 
By the way, that was won by 

907
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,080
Richard Lawson. 
So that was a three all with 

908
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,160
Edwards and Morris packing in 
the minor placing. 

909
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,920
So still 2 points in here at the
moment, that's what. 

910
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,440
They've got to do no last 
places. 

911
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,160
Isn't it all? 
Right, so moving on to Monday, 

912
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,160
we've got the second leg of the 
Premiership player semi final, 

913
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,000
Leicester against Sheffield. 
OK. 

914
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,320
That's for you, Matt Leicester. 
By 10. 

915
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,520
Leicester by 12. 
I fancy Leicester by 12. 

916
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,680
OK. 
And finally, next Tuesday, 

917
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,320
second leg of the car cut semi 
final, I think this is on base 

918
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,080
and so obviously we won't be on 
next week. 

919
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,760
So we'll be obviously we're 
keeping an eye on that one. 

920
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:58,760
Glasgow against Poole, which 
could be a dress rehearsal for 

921
00:45:58,760 --> 00:45:59,960
the for the Championship 
platform. 

922
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,840
At the moment it's what's that? 
Me. 

923
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:12,520
Yeah, let's. 
Go Glasgow by. 4 Glasgow by 8. 

924
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:18,880
Glasgow by 6 right in the middle
and that's it. 

925
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:24,040
That was quick and easy. 
We have a few. 

926
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,640
You can't call them tweets, can 
you? 

927
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,680
We have a few messages on the on
YouTube. 

928
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,280
Wife was watching old Bike Grove
shows. 

929
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,240
They went to Speedway. 
Good to see Mark Thorpe going 

930
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:43,040
round the track back then, I 
bet. 

931
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,680
Do you know Bike Grove? 
Bike Grove. 

932
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:45,840
OK, You know bike. 
Yeah. 

933
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,120
Well, I should I should know 
bike because my mother was born 

934
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:56,200
a couple of straight away from 
Newcastle Speedway so. 

935
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,120
OK. 
Never went there I don't think, 

936
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,200
but. 
So Duncan Pemberton says, have 

937
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:07,000
you mentioned the race night at 
the Pavilion Club showing the 

938
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,600
Wolves versus Cradley Dudley 
Wolves trophy, even providing a 

939
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,000
scorecard 19? 
99 Dudley Wolves trophy. 

940
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,800
I've got that meeting on DVD. 
That meeting has to be seen to 

941
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,800
be believed. 
I mean the Wolves Cradley 

942
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,480
meetings were always hard fought
anyway but that one was was 

943
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,120
brutal. 
Definitely. 

944
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,240
Definitely recommend watching it
if you can get a copy of it. 

945
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:29,640
So, well, I can. 
Get a copy of it. 

946
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:32,800
It's not. 
Yeah. 

947
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,360
So the first, the first leg of 
that opposes anybody who 

948
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,840
remembers The Dirty wolf strife.
It was always on a Bank Holiday 

949
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,000
Monday with the first leg of 
Duddywood at 11:00 in the 

950
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,200
morning and then strides over to
Monmouth for the second leg at 

951
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,200
7:30. 
The first leg was a draw and the

952
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,040
second leg was one by one point 
where. 

953
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,360
So. 
It's how class it was Eric Gun. 

954
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,360
I think that was Eric Gunson's 
last ever Darby before before 

955
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,400
his crash at Bradford and he got
a 19 point maximum. 

956
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,200
We should mention that Eric 
Gunderson may well have gone on 

957
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,480
to get a few more world titles 
that we have, and that is. 

958
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:08,880
You say you're somebody who 
doesn't agree with you. 

959
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,040
Eric Gunderson. 
OK. 

960
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,560
Yeah, I. 
Remember reading because he did 

961
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:19,240
an interview with Backtrack a 
few years ago and he feels that 

962
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,200
if he's, I mean, he's he's since
admitted that he probably 

963
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,960
wouldn't have been riding in the
British league after 89 anyway. 

964
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,560
So and he would have probably 
just come back and ridden in in 

965
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,120
testimonials or world 
championship events. 

966
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:37,280
But I mean, I think you could 
probably argue by that stage of 

967
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,840
the 80s hands, Nielsen was 
beginning to sort of pull away 

968
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,600
from him a little bit in terms 
of his dominance. 

969
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,360
And Gunnison really didn't have.
I mean, Gunnison didn't even 

970
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:46,960
finish top of crowd, his 
averages last scene. 

971
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:53,160
He was young at Pedison, so 
yeah, so but yeah, one point and

972
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,000
that was the last last time the 
Wolves won the Duddy Wolves 

973
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,000
trophy during the the years that
crowd were at Duddy Wood. 

974
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,840
I think the last one we did when
was 96, but it was when crowded 

975
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,480
were running good stock and none
of the top riders rode in that 

976
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:06,960
one. 
So Paul have. 

977
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,680
Pulled away a little bit more. 4
point. 

978
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,920
I got a four two in the heat and
bread thanks to a great win by 

979
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,920
Anders Row and he's unbeaten so 
far I think. 

980
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:16,840
He's got a job now. 
Yeah. 

981
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:21,280
OK, OK. 
I've got a stupid question of 

982
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,960
the week. 
OK this week as well. 

983
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,720
Don't laugh. 
But why I got a laugh now? 

984
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:29,480
Haven't I? 
What? 

985
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,040
Why no brakes? 
Why no gears? 

986
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,440
OK. 
So, I mean, I think you've asked

987
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,880
this question before, no brakes 
because it would be dangerous to

988
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,400
have them. 
Why that? 

989
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,560
Sounds ridiculous. 
Doesn't need to say that. 

990
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,000
Yeah. 
You, well, if you imagine you're

991
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,680
going around the corner or even 
if you're not going around the 

992
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,320
corner, even on the straight and
you put your brake on, the 

993
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,560
bike's just going to go from 
underneath you because it's not,

994
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,000
it's, it's just shale. 
It's loose, right? 

995
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:01,040
OK, this And why no gears? 
Because they don't need them. 

996
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,840
If they, you know, they can't 
go, they're not going to go any 

997
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,720
faster than that. 
Speedo is the only motorsport 

998
00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:09,600
where you accelerate going into 
the corners. 

999
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,800
You don't, you don't pick, you 
don't slow down, go into the 

1000
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,040
corner. 
You've got to pick, speed up to 

1001
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:15,480
get the back wheel round, Sir. 
Yeah. 

1002
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,880
Oh, OK, this. 
Ends this week's stupid. 

1003
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,840
Questions a week. 
It wasn't a stupid question. 

1004
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,680
This is where Paul are going to 
have a bit of an advantage going

1005
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,080
into the Big Heights course 
because both Richard Lawson and 

1006
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:31,080
Anders row and beaten so far. 
Charles Wright's only got 6 from

1007
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,720
his three rides and Danny King's
got 5 from his three so. 

1008
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,880
Yeah, it's beginning. 
To it's looking a little bit 

1009
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,280
ominous, the pool, I mean, Red 
Car of minor days and Fist of 

1010
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:42,800
it. 
And as long as they can sort of 

1011
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,560
restrict the damage, they should
be quite happy with it. 

1012
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,520
But it's difficult really at 
this point to see red car. 

1013
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:49,080
What are we up? 
To. 

1014
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,400
We're on to heat #12 that's 
coming up next 14. 

1015
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,120
Seems like that might be 
critical as it is. 

1016
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:01,400
OK, so. 
If you're a red car, what sort 

1017
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:02,800
of lead do you want to take 
back? 

1018
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,760
Yeah, what sort of deficit do 
you want to take back? 

1019
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,720
I think they'd well, four 
points, I think they'd take this

1020
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:10,320
and wouldn't they? 
So I think the. 

1021
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,520
Weight's coming up. 
You're not sure they're going to

1022
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:16,240
get 4 points. 
OK. 

1023
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,240
What will happen about the 
Sheffield versus IPIC meeting 

1024
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:21,320
that hasn't been run yet because
of the weather? 

1025
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,160
That's a good question. 
Yeah. 

1026
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,680
I mean, they will have to, they 
will have to try and run it. 

1027
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,160
We've got to probably do it. 
So they have to, they have to 

1028
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,760
try and run it. 
I don't know when we're running 

1029
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,320
out of dates now, coming up 
towards October, it's probably 

1030
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:36,560
going to. 
End up being run in the last 

1031
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,160
week of October, isn't it? 
You know, there has been a case 

1032
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,320
of course where you have split 
our meetings run in November, 

1033
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,360
but those are, you know, fall 
between, aren't they so. 

1034
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,920
Really. 
Yeah, watch this space is all I 

1035
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,040
can say. 
What's What's the latest you can

1036
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,000
ever remember Rice being held in
a season? 

1037
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,800
What? 
In a normal season in November? 

1038
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,680
Yeah, Really. 
We have had meetings run in 

1039
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:02,720
November in the past haven't we?
So it was cold. 

1040
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:07,320
Wasn't the last meeting at the 
old Penny Bar on in November in 

1041
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:13,160
83? 
I don't know, it didn't feel 

1042
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,600
like it was a cold match from my
memory. 54 then. 

1043
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,560
David is going to. 
Remember that I've never been 

1044
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,400
54. 
I've got a. 

1045
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,240
Feeling when Bellevue left Hyde 
Rd. 

1046
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:27,320
Their last meeting was on 
November the 1st, which I think 

1047
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,280
was against Cradley, our last. 
Meeting was against Cradley. 

1048
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,800
I. 
Remember that because we lost. 

1049
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,760
I was so Everly as well. 
Yeah, absolutely slaughtered. 

1050
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,400
So basically. 
It's all Cradley's fault. 

1051
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,720
Yeah, yeah. 
Everybody knows that. 

1052
00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:42,240
Everything. 
Everything through speedways. 

1053
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,840
Before, before. 
Before sort of the 90s, it was 

1054
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,800
Cradley's fault. 
After that, it was Paul's fault.

1055
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:50,440
That's the way it works, isn't 
it? 

1056
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:51,360
I think so. 
Yeah. 

1057
00:52:51,720 --> 00:52:52,760
Ever been? 
Coventry's fault? 

1058
00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:58,640
Well, it's been Ollie Olsen's 
fault also. 

1059
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,600
Excuses while we rack over a few
goals. 

1060
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,000
Your biggest disappointment in 
Speedway Speedway related. 

1061
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,200
I don't mean like I'm asking 
you, I'm asking everybody. 

1062
00:53:15,720 --> 00:53:18,640
I don't mean, I don't mean I 
don't mean to be the Brews 

1063
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,680
disbanded like that is my. 
Biggest. 

1064
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,800
Disappointment. 
Speedway related. 

1065
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,640
I mean, it doesn't have to be 
about the brews. 

1066
00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:28,960
I'll let you go for the World 
Cup, it's a difficult one. 

1067
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,000
Grand Prix Probably an easy one.
For me, that's losing the lead 

1068
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,000
title to Bellevue in 93 on the 
last night. 

1069
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,280
Well, one. 
You just made it easy for me, 

1070
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:41,680
haven't you, on the last night 
when we when we lost the player 

1071
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,920
final to that guy Paul? 
Yeah, to Paul, because they got 

1072
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,120
a ringer in which I wouldn't be 
out I'll. 

1073
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,360
Tell you a little story about 93
because I mean, at one point we 

1074
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,360
were about at one point we were 
about 15 points and there was no

1075
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,640
playoffs in these days. 
We were about 15 points in front

1076
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,240
at the top of the table. 
And then we just completely got 

1077
00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:05,120
decimated by injuries. 
But about six weeks before that 

1078
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:09,800
meeting, Bellevue went to Criedy
and got a bit of a fluky points 

1079
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,480
and we was all there on the 
backside jumping up and down and

1080
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:14,360
wanting to go the Criedy fans 
up. 

1081
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,440
And it turned at that point when
Bellevue of the league. 

1082
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:22,880
So he came back in business. 
Oh dear. 

1083
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,320
Oh need. 
Speedway Need Speedway? 

1084
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:33,840
What was your happiest moment? 
I think winning the league at 

1085
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,960
Swindon in 2009, that's my 
favourite ever memory. 

1086
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,840
Having finished rock bottom in 
the season before, it was a 

1087
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,000
complete turn around so, but I 
remember that vividly. 

1088
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,360
I mean, I've spoken about that 
Knockout Cup final against D 

1089
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,120
Spawn, which was a tremendous 
74. 

1090
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,280
Was it something like one of 
those lines? 

1091
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,000
But actually it was when Andy I 
might get emotional, it's when 

1092
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,600
Andy Graham won the British 
final. 

1093
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,600
Yeah, just. 2 Two days after 
Stanette Codron had died, that 

1094
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:11,280
was, you know, we all thought 
he's done it for he's done it 

1095
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:18,000
for Kermit, you know, Yeah. 
It was what you'd call a 

1096
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,680
bittersweet moment. 
Especially of course with with 

1097
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,680
if Alan finishing second as 
well, even though he wasn't a 

1098
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,320
Birmingham rider then. 
So he's always. 

1099
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,640
Been thought of as a Birmingham 
rider. 

1100
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:33,800
He always will by Brummies fans.
We were, absolutely. 

1101
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:40,640
When we heard that he'd gone and
where he'd gone to, we were 

1102
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,520
spitting feathers. 
Joe Thurley was not popular at 

1103
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,000
that point in his career. 
He was justified to go out there

1104
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:50,280
though, wasn't he? 
Because he won everything 

1105
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,000
acquiredly, you know? 
And he. 

1106
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Oh yeah. 
You can't blame Alan Graham but 

1107
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,800
you would, you know, if Joe 
Thurley had put him back in the 

1108
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,560
team when he said he was going 
to put him back in the team and 

1109
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,800
not said no, you need another 
couple more weeks to get to 

1110
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,320
heel. 
Who knows what we would have 

1111
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:09,200
achieved having Andy and Alan in
the same team when they were at 

1112
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,320
the best. 
I hate 12 so I. 

1113
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,440
Got Louis Kerr, Paul Stark 
against Josh Edwards and Jodie 

1114
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:23,920
Scott I think record if they can
they need to strongly the heat 

1115
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,400
advantage on. 
This one I think so because 

1116
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,480
real. 
Those two big hits, 1315 coming 

1117
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,360
up. 
And just before we go right of 

1118
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,600
the week, Dan Thompson it. 
Is Dan Thompson OK? 

1119
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:36,240
Well. 
Done. 

1120
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,240
And we're rich, unfortunately. 
Of course, we are not going to 

1121
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:43,840
be here for the next two weeks. 
We're not going. 

1122
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,680
To be next week and nor the week
after because unfortunately I'm 

1123
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:47,640
on a holiday. 
I'm sorry. 

1124
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,280
I'm really sorry. 
No, you're. 

1125
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,000
Not, you know, I. 
Really don't want to go in 

1126
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,240
Lionel Beach for seven days, but
you know. 

1127
00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:00,080
You shouldn't talk about your 
wife like that, but umm, who? 

1128
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,200
You are. 
But we will be coming back 

1129
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,280
afterwards to finish the show 
and we will continue to keep 

1130
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,080
putting the predictions on as 
well over the next couple of 

1131
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,320
weeks and the show. 
Will continue to the end of the 

1132
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,600
season. 
That's the plan, unfortunately. 

1133
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,400
You've you're stuck with us. 
You take care. 

1134
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,120
Goodnight. 
Goodnight, Goodnight.
