    Brummies 2024...

    Not true. Premier clubs have Monday as an alternative race night - next Monday Leicester v Ipswich ko cup and remember, Monday is TV night for speedway when it’s on.

    Brandon Update

    More than likely speedway alone would not be able to provide the necessary financial resource to support any form of worthwhile development. The answer is more likely along the lines of BE being a partner in developing the site as a National Motor Sport facility with funding being provided by the combined financial involvement from the likes of various motor sport governing bodies, Local Authorities, National lottery and private/commercial enterprises, leading to BE exiting the partnership at some reagreed stage having made an acceptable profit.
  3. Value for money can only be calculated when compared with the next best alternative. You mention the prices of Discovery & Eurosport, but they weren't showing the meeting. The only alternatives to choose from were to go to the actual meeting, watch via BSN or give it a miss. No doubt live speedway is (on most occasions) the best alternative for the actual experience, however, the lowest out of pocket cost for two adults to attend would have been around £50.00 whereas via BSN it was £15.00. So for "value for money" comparison. The choices for 2 adults were, a) attend the live meeting for £50.00, b)stream the event for £15.00 or indeed C)£0.00 to do neither.

    Brandon Update

    Maybe, rather than continuing to regard Brandon Estates as the enemy, time now for all vested parties to work together with the aim of forming a resolution to the current stalemate. One route could be to explore how Brandon Estates could partake with others in creating/developing/building a "National Motor sports Arena" to accommodate such sports, Speedway, Stox, Go-kart's, MotoX, Drifting and stunt events etc. Maximising utilisation of the facility would be based on regular events for the paying public to attend as well as training and experience based events across most if not all of the sports featured. lots of hoops to jump through, but maybe this suggestion is worth considering?
  5. Maybe because there hadn’t been any significant rain in Oxford for at least a day, whereas by 6.30pm the Leicester track was totally unridable.

    Brandon Update

    Absolutely "spot on". A tremendous achievement by all concerned in the Battle to keep Brandon away from the clutches of developers and maintaining hopes alive for the eventual return of Stox & speedway. Unfortunately, the war has yet to be won so no doubt more fights will arise. However, it does look like, at least, the end of the beginning as been established!

    Brummies 2024...

    A none starter for a number of irrefutable reasons. At least it generates some publicity & awareness of the future plight facing the Brummies of not having a home for speedway.
  8. Will this be available on UK television?

    There is very little kudos (if any) to be gained by the BSPA making effort to promote the scenario you refer. The BBC correctly understand what is newsworthy i.e that they have a contestant whos runs a business that provides pies to Manchester City FC (currently the most successful club in world football) this is significant in a competition aimed at finding a business entrepreneur. Conversely they would see little relevance in saying one of their contestants use to ride for a speedway clubs junior team.

    Super League ruling

    To be clear. The ruling addressed a “pre-existing shortfall” in UEFA’s framework which it had corrected in June 2022 So yes, a new super league could now be formed but would need to have promotion/relegation to avoid falling foul of the same “closed shop”issue faced by UEFA. However, as both UEFA & FIFA would legitimately be allowed to ban clubs & players who joined a Super League from competing in their own competitions (including the World Cup) there would be nowhere for the clubs to be promoted/relegated to/from. A Super League May happen one day, but not independent from UEFA/FIFA

    Leicester Lions 2024

    Just the same as Max said when he joined Lions last year. The same Max who is now the track record holder. They’ll be no issues for Becker at home.

    That’s the point I was making. The rider has no sanction he can take if he’s not being paid. But if he does withhold his services he faces sanctions.

    There's quite a bit of that. The most noticeable one being a rider who withholds his services because of not being paid can be suspended from riding anywhere in the UK!

    When a rider "agreed" to become an asset of a club, he received a form of compensation/payment. The terms of this payment reach beyond a riding contract. This approach does not restrict the rider from signing for whoever he likes. However, It does prevent a club from signing whoever they want if a fee is due to the asset owner.
