Just a quickie to settle an argument. If after the qualifying heats were completed and prior to the semi-finals are taking place one of the top eight riders have to withdraw from the meeting would the rider in ninth be promoted to the semi-final or would it be completed with just the three remaining riders. Thanks in advance.

Yes, many a happy Saturday afternoon were spent watching ITV's World of Sport. Personally I think the demise of the show - that had made many riders of the time household names - it also had a massive detrimental effect on the sport itself, as Speedway not only disappeared from our TV screens (for a number of years) it also disappeared off the radar of many people's minds, this coupled with the damaging News of the World scandal a period the sport has never recovered.

Has anyone any idea when the fixtures are released? I am looking to schedule some away tracks to coincide with a few other trips.

Thanks for the reply. We are going to try and make it quite early in the season before the Eurosport coverage starts. Ideally would love to go back to Belle Vue but if for some reason - weather/other we can flip over to Wolverhampton. Well that’s the plan.

Has anyone looked into creating a Speedway Supporters Trust with a view to bringing back the sport too Brandon. Supporters from all over the country could buy into the project regardless of club alleigiences. This trust could call itself the National Speedway Trust with individuals paying a monthly fee. It’s aim would be to bring defunct tracks back or help bring new tracks to fruition. The trust would have stakes in any track that was bought back until it was deemed to satisfactory to sell - once tracks are back they simple wouldn’t be handed back to a individual or promotion.

Any news on how the meeting went?

Thanks for the reply. I should have added the rider scored 6pts - 2 race wins, but only competed in two of his qualifying heats. where as the other rider scored six points from all his programmed rides. Thanks.

One other thing. If a Grand Prix rider scores 6 pts - 2 race wins - but only competes in two races is his score better than a rider who scores six points, no race wins, 2 second places, 2 third place and one last place in the qualifying heats?

Thanks for your replies.

For individual Grand Prix’s can you tell me what number race jacket a wild card would use or are they able to use their own riding number? For example Zmarzlik is 95, Madsen is 30 etc. Thanks.

Many thanks.

Don’t forget Eastvile (Bristol Bulldogs) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42958113 when it was sold to Ikea! Plus Poole who come under the Stadia UK banner! https://www.poolestadium.co.uk/ How long will it be before Poole will have to miss a season whilst the Stadium is being developed only to never return.

I don’t think anyone is surprised. Should Torquay United be worried - https://www.devonlive.com/sport/football/football-news/torquay-united-scrap-plans-new-3412818 - sounds similar to the infamous Reading Racino! Club appear from the outside to be being wound down! Lost their Football League status in 2014 and now sit at the bottom of the National League and attendances around the 1700 mark. Of course nothing as grandiose as those plans will be required if the direction they are going in continues.

It was the Stadium.

I purchased my tickets over the phone but have had no confirmation. The person who took my order said the transaction had gone through and the tickets would appear on the app but as of yet nothing. Has anyone else had the same experience?

Hi, does anyone else get this page when they try to log on to the official SGB website? If they do, what is it and why?

Thanks.

Does anyone know what time the SGP2 starts on Sunday?

With the Speedway Grand Prix I know the top eight scorers progress to the semi-finals but how is it decided which riders go into which semi-final?

Many thanks for the replies - a great help.

Thanks for the replies. Out of curiosity in the unlikely event that a reserve scores enough points too get into the semi-finals are they allowed too take there place? If not would the semi-final take place with only three riders? Thanks.

Is the pairs included in your season pass?

Same here, signed in but nothings happening - PS, It did state you could log-on from 6:30pm.
