You might like to get your hearing tested then (no offence!).

Unless it's top riders in the individual meetings (like the Championship Riders Championship etc), fans don't seem interested (and haven't for a while now), so how that would work would be a worry. For instance I felt really sorry for Stuart Robson, as his Farewell Meeting was poorly attended and, for a servant to British Speedway, I thought he deserved better than that.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's less exciting/entertaining, though.

I think they are in it for the "long term," so I don't think they will be going anywhere soon (just my opinion, I could be wrong).

Using the Prem Lge footballer analogy, it's a bit like a former PL footballer wanting to play for a Lge Two side and not being able to because he once reached a much higher standard.

They could organise the fixtures to only ride when the footy team are away early in the speedway season (March, April and up to mid-May), then they only have to worry about August & September (the start of the 2024-25 footy season), but their season could almost be over at that point.

No. ARC own Sunderland and, seeing as they made it quite clear they didn't want speedway at Brough Park, speedway at Sunderland ain't gonna happen any time soon.

3x3's: 1) Glasgow, Edinburgh & Berwick. 2) Workington, Redcar & Scunthorpe. 3) Oxford, Poole & Plymouth. If they want to stretch it out 2 groups one with 5 (Glas,Edin, Ber, Work, & Red) & one with 4, but I doubt they will have Scunny in a Southern group! So, I'd say the 3x3's with the winners and the best runners-up going into a Semi Final.

Sometimes (it has been known) promoters/managers get the track staff to grade the track when a rider needs extra time (usually to repair a bike or the like) before the next heat.

It's OK though.... one or two are bound to be called off due to poor weather forecasts...... LOL

8.52 with the reduction in a "watered down" league could be a bargain.

A quick genuine question for all Oxford fans on here. How many of you are intending to watch all three teams in all three leagues in 2024?

I know this is a Scunthorpe thread, but I wonder how many Oxford fans can afford to watch three teams in 2024? Some other teams can hardly attract fans to watch just one team in one league!

Just as well, look what they are doing for Man Utd......

If they have to re-grade the track after the main meeting, they won't have an interval as well, surely?

Perhaps it's been postponed and will now take place at the end of next year.....

Sixth. They are in the National League South.

It depends on what that budget is ! LOL !!

So, you are saying Kyle is lying, then?

He's said on Facebook that most other team spots are already filled, so he just has to wait and see what happens.

What are they going to do? Lock the doors and hold them in as hostages? Doesn't matter where it is, people can walk out if they want, just means they will be able to go on the beach (weather permitting, but it's bound to be sunny !!) or back to their hotel.

Are they bringing back the green helmet colour????

How about waiting until the actual 1-7 is announced before making predictions on the coming 2024 season?
