Can we still buy any of the GRT media DVDs anywhere?

It'd be better than nothing but any champion would have a massive asterisk against their name and wouldn't be a true champion.

I see the horse racing authorities are looking at a limit on field sizes and only allowing more experienced/competent jockeys to ride - could British speedway try this as a means to get through? Only Premiership speedway with a strict criteria on who can ride? Injuries are part and parcel of the sport but anything that can be done to limit them, and in turn NHS resources, must be considered.

It's so tiresome. He isn't just a negative speedway fan, he's a negative speedway fan who goes to the ends of the earth, and is often wrong, to attempt to prove his point.

Has any speedway meeting *ever* started on time?

Would love to know what baggage Pedersen and Gollob have to be lumped in with that lot.

Posted this on twitter yesterday, a speedway slant on the football game going around social media - anyone fancy a go? A speedway slant. 7 riders, 7 nationalities, must have ridden for at least one British club and none can have ridden for the same British club at any point in time (inc 2020). Holder Lindgren F Zmarzlik MJJ Bellego Bondarenko Fox Any more guesses?

Interesting piece on Garrity's pre-season preparations https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/man-charged-after-vulnerable-woman-18119394

Big fan of Edinburgh putting on the most obscure matches as opposed to a run of the mill league match.

What problems do they cause, Philip? Not a dig, I'm just genuinely curious as it seems fine for TV subscriptions, car tax and a lot of other things.

So much negativity. Every post I see you put on here is negative or putting a downer on something. Everything might be cancelled but no harm in some positivity.

Too true. I've been quite happy with BT until now and I've never really been fussed about moving to Sky, but this has changed all that. 30 days notice going in as soon as I can get through to their xal centre!

The statements that have been made about this year's Ben Fund, including those above, have been nothing short of a horror show. The principle of the meeting is great and I'm sure everyone would like to see hundreds of thousands raised, but the line up is shocking, and to expect people to just turn up is not a great advertisement. Never mind the fact it's in Scunthorpe, in March, in the middle of a global pandemic.

I'd say that considering his career that's quite a poor line up, hopefully there's a big crowd.

Has an actual speedway official honestly just said this in a press release? "In a few years time people will have forgotten about Danny (Ayres) and his family, Ricky (Ashworth) and Garry (Stead) but the Ben Fund won’t. And like all the paraplegics from speedway in the country they will be looked after on a regular basis." Absolutely disgraceful. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.37968
