    Swindon Stadium

    If, and it’s a big If, you believe that statement, then no doubt these “various legal and planning actions necessary “ will include a significant number of houses on the “potential” site as part of the planning application. I can see it now, the applicant will build “xxx homes with the consent for a further xxx homes subject to completion and operating of said stadium” xxx homes get built whilst the land for the stadium lays dormant, just like Wallyford stadium.
  2. FOR INFORMATION Just in case anybody uses public transport, there is an issue with the railway bridge over the River Derwent, which means there are no trains from the Carlisle direction. Rail Replacement Buses expected to used, so add an extra 30+ minutes to your journey time, trains from the Barrow in Furness direction are unaffected.
  3. Line-up for CLRC This is the latest draw (as of Thursday 24/8/2023. 12.55pm), but there’s still a few days to go, so could change. The line-up is as follows: 1 Rory Schlein (Berwick) 2 Justin Sedgmen (Birmingham) 3 Troy Batchelor (Birmingham) 4 Scott Nicholls (Oxford) Kye Thomson (Edinburgh) 5 Richard Lawson (Poole) 6 Richie Worrall (Plymouth) 7 Kyle Howarth (Plymouth) Paco Castagna (Edinburgh) 8 Lewis Kerr (Oxford) 9 Charles Wright (Redcar) 10 Ryan Douglas (Scunthorpe) 11 Craig Cook (Edinburgh) 12 Ben Cook (Poole) 13 Chris Harris (Glasgow) 14 Jake Allen (Scunthorpe) 15 Danny King (Redcar) 16 Leon Flint (Berwick) With it being at Redcar, all of the above were/ are capable of going through the card unbeaten, and equally, all we’re/are capable of dropping points at Redcar. I just hope the weather plays ball, because it should be a cracker.

    CLRC

    There was a short sharp shower forecast for 2.00pm, with the rest of the day forecast to brighten up and stay dry. It’ll just save having to send the bowser out. Plenty of time to sort things out.
  5. There is a thread in the “Speedway News and Discussions “ section dedicated to “Speedway On Tv And The Internet In 2023”, which I would think is a more appropriate place to read/ ask the question.
  6. Quite correct, had a bit of a senior moment, I shall edit, thank you.
  7. Seeing as nobody has stared a thread yet, here we go. REDCAR “Bears” 1. Charles Wright, 2. Danyon Hume, 3. Connor Bailey, 4. Erik Riss, 5. Danny King, 6. Jason Edwards, 7. Luke Harrison.BIRMINGHAM “Brummies” 1. Richard Lawson, 2. Stefan Nielsen, 3. Troy Batchelor, 4. Alfie Bowtell, 5. Justin Sedgmen, 6. Sam Hagon, 7. Paul Starke. Birmingham bring in Richard Lawson as a guest at No 1. Bit of a cloudy day here on Teesside, with occasional drizzle but no heavy rain forecast till late evening (after 10pm).
  8. Adults. £22 11-16 £5 Under 11’s. Free Gates open. 3.00pm Tapes up. 5.00pm It’s a shared event, so the program will be priced accordingly (£4/£5 ?).
  9. Looks like theirs been a subtle name change, it’s being advertised as the “Championship League Riders Final “ on the Redcar FB page.
  10. Probable teams:- Redcar “Bears” 1. Charles Wright 2. Danyon Hume 3. Conner Bailey 4. Erik Riss 5. Danny King 6. Jason Edwards 7. Luke Harrison Edinburgh “Monarchs” 1. Craig Cook 2. Bastion Borke 3. Kye Thomson R/R 4. Paco Castangna 5. Josh Pickering 6. Dayle Wood 7. Max Clegg A gorgeous sunny day here in Teesside, with just wall to wall sunshine forecast for the rest of the day.
  11. Just seen this on the Workington thread in the National League section, and I thought it was worthy of a greater audience as not everyone looks in the National League section. This should be used as a blueprint for all future tracks in the UK.

    Redcar 2023

    All riders get one ride off each gate, so I’m not sure how you came to the conclusion that being at No2 has more inside gates than No4.
  13. If Poole have a long term future at Wimborne Road, and if the greyhound racing has ceased, can the safety fence be moved out by a few meters to create a better race track?
  14. I assume, The covers covered the greyhound track surface to prevent shale getting on it, if you don’t have speedway, you don’t need to protect the greyhound surface from flying shale.

    Wembley

    Having read the article, I’m not to sure of the seriousness of the suggestion, especially when it’s suggesting an event in “November or December “.
  16. Been raining most of the day, it’s due to stop raining around 2am. The saving grace is it’s a 7.30 pm start, so if the weather plays ball, the track staff have most of tomorrow to try and get the track ready, but I still think it will be “touch and go” as to whether it’s on or not. I’ve just noticed it’s due to be streamed on BSN? So every effort will be made to get this meeting on.

    Workington 2023

    For anybody who’s interested, the latest satellite images on Bing Maps show the new track in all its glory. Nothing yet on Google Maps.
  18. It’s doesn’t say “no rider guarantees”, it say “This includes a Limit to rider guarantees” That’s two different things. It will all be down to the fine print, which going off past experience of “rules and agreements” will be open to interpretation.
  19. Might I point you in the direction of… British Grand Prix, Silverstone, 2018.

    Redcar 2022

    Is that confirmed? The original fixture, on Sunday 11th was 5pm. Redcar website currently just says TBC for next Saturday 17th.
  21. Probable Teams Redcar Bears Richard Lawson (Guest) Jason Edwards Charles Wright Jordan Jenkins Lewis Kerr Kyle Newman Kasper Andersen Edinburgh Monarchs Sam Masters Lasse Fredriksen Kye Thomson Paco Castagna Josh Pickering James Sarjent Jacob Hook With only 4 pts separating the teams, it should be a close contest that could go either way.

    Redcar v Scunny

    Unusually, they brought out the big water bowser. I guess the trackman identified a potential problem and acted quickly to prevent it becoming bigger issue (dust?) later in the meeting.
  23. Sorry about that, I completely misread things based on the poor graphics, and the reference to Scunthorpe. That’s what you get for posting about one subject when your mind is also thinking about another subject, apologies to all.
