    There must be big doubts over Klindt, Holder, Bewley and Kurtz at least. Becker rides in Poland too, presumably Masters also? These riders are going to find getting in and out of Poland regularly very difficult.

    From what i can remember his man management skills with the riders was his greatest asset.He reminded me of a John Berry outspoken at times but cared greatly about the sport RIP Jon.

    As some one else has stated the crowd for the 85 belle vue meeting was quite a bit more than half of 6385. But the rest of your post is spot on and just bolsters my opinion that a return to The Shay in the nineties was NEVER a realistic possibility no matter what others are saying now, due to the changes already occurring to the configuration; and greater changes in the planning process as well.

    I am not sure about this statement, the rumours Allen was coming back and wanted more money started well before we signed Josh Macdonald.

    The attendance seemed very big for the Belle Vue meeting, run after the 1985 word final. At the time i thought it was Halifax's biggest crowd in years.

    Read the club statement and was wondering who the three heat leaders are if we are sticking by the announced 7. I see 1 heat leader 3 second strings and 3 reserves . That on any given occasion could be 1 second string 4 reserves and 2 number 8s it's going to be hard going at times but never mind its only speedway and nobody really cares anyway . Having said that can't wait to see some action

    The closure of all terraced areas at The Shay in 1985 lasted just three early-season Halifax Town FC games. By January 1986, Halifax RLFC, hiring the ground on a one-off basis for a First Division game with Widnes, because of problems with the Thrum Hall floodlights, attracted a 6,385 crowd to The Shay (more than double any crowd Halifax Dukes attracted during their final season, 1985). The speedway club, incidentally, were sub-tenants of the football club, who chose to hike the rent circa 1985 - one of several factors in the Dukes leaving for Odsal. £25,000 is the figure that sticks in my mind. The Shay was reconfigured quite a few years before the rugby league club began sharing the stadium in 1998. The first and second bend area was removed circa 1990. It was replaced with a gently inclined open standing area. In 1996, a stand was built on the site of the third and fourth bends. Later that year, an identical stand replaced the open standing area at the opposite end of the ground.

    They are probably the extra catering caravans in case the glass grandstand/ restaurant isn't functioning?!

    I just hope that Eurosport show ALL the races. I seem to remember in the past they have just missed heats out while showing much of the time they has showing riders messing about at the tapes and gardening. I do not even mind not seeing the meeting live but showing the same day with all the messing about edited out but ALL the races shown in full.

    Yeah well there is the chance I read it wrong during the day and really am an idiot...

    Perhaps they haven't realised that a 1930 meeting start time actually means no earlier than 1945hrs?!

    Surely the admission price can’t be increased. A team with only one heat leader , Lambert replaced by Bridger can’t justify a increase.

    Premier Sports havnt shown live speedway for last 2 weeks. They keep showing repeats or they don’t bother to change titles. Not impressed

    Mine was on the mat at 0500 when I got up, that's three weeks on the trot with no problems now after issues arising during the first three weeks, I suppose there's always glitches with a new service, the service at present is faultless to be fair, hope it's the norm going forward, magazine is always a great read, what a job the team have done during lock down
