Sadly this really changes nothing. Brandon Estates still own the site so little doubt they'll try again and again. Might take 10-15 years, but they'll get pp in the end.

Ludicrous that Birmingham and Workington have decided to move up a league when neither of the could make it pay in lower leagues last year. Even more crazy is Oxford running in 3 leagues! Predict all 3 will be gone before end of next season.

The fact that it's at Monbore will put people off

Showed his true colours in the last heat. Didn't look for Doyle once. Shameful and selfish from Sayfutdinov

He can report on audience figures, but kept repeating "I can't tell you". Sorry, but that won't wash in a public inquiry and you could see how uncomfortable he looked during his cross examination.
The guy from sport England was woeful, but Morris wasn't as brilliant as posters here are trying to paint him.

A depressing fact as well.That changed a lot today for me.
Phil Morris really really impressed me.
British Speedway. World Speedway is very lucky to have him.Not so sure his repeated "can't give you details due to confidentiality" was very helpful. It's supposed to be a public inquiry. Surely this should be in the public domain.

Good riddance

2 hours ago, ytsejam said:You are correct, Cardiff is, most years, the most over hyped and boring GP of the year, so last night's "decent" GP made a pleasant change from the rubbish we normally get. The racing WOULD be 10 times better at Belle Vue but sadly, quality exciting racing isn't the main concern of the GP series anymore, even more so when it comes to the British GP, it's all about the "glitz and glamour", as you say.
Glitz and glamour?!
It's Cardiff. Probably the grubbiest and most boring city in the UK. It needs binning.

2 hours ago, FAST GATER said:I think that's harsh the track held up much better than last year ,IMO Cardiff often gives the less favourable riders a real chance of winning a GP and with the roof is guaranteed to be on .
The rider of the night without doubt was Holder ( just can't warm to the fellow myself ) my worry with him is he has to ride beyond himself IMO at times to beat Bart , I think that Tai was under huge pressure from Bart when he came to grief.
Even on a poor night by his standards he is the one they all fear people go on about him having all the luck but as Gary Player the golfer said "the more I practise the luckier I get " , imagine what he could do if he gated more often rather than having to do it the hard way !
Not harsh at all. Look at the crowd and that tells you all to know. People are sick of the rubbish that place serves up. Belle Vue MUST stage this event next year. Cardiff is pants. I hate it.

Fine. Trivialise something that, if it happened on the street, you'd be spending a night behind bars. Woffinden is an utter disgrace

Should face a long ban and a criminal assault charge. Despicable behaviour from someone who should no better.

I also heard that a site was being looked at in South Staffs, closer to the M6. But there were problems with that venue being too close to a motorway junction.
Pie in the sky. Absolutely no chance of any new speedway tracks being built in the UK in the current climate. Its over. Accept it

Lindgren should get a life ban for that. Disgusting move solely intent on trying to hurt someone.

Lindgren and Thorsell must think they're back at Monbore. Awful racing so far

Yes. For some reason Eurosport would rather go to Monbore than a proper track

On 5/18/2023 at 6:19 PM, Call me wolfie said:No wonder speedway in this country is dying if we get comments like that from so called speedway fans……….idiotic
Not idiotic - realistic. We're in the middle of the worst cost of crisis in living memory, and a sport where tracks are dropping like flies. You seriously think the local council are going to allow money to be blown on something that, with the best will in the world, appeals to a couple of hundred people in the area?
It's utter fantasy

43 minutes ago, MattB said:Wolves Speedway owners are in talks over a potential new home after the team was given notice to leave Monmore Green.
Under-threat Wolves has been told its tenancy agreement will not be extended beyond the end of this year, leaving the riders homeless after nearly a century of racing at its historic home, in Sutherland Avenue, Wolverhampton, which it shares with greyhound racing.
The club is remaining tight-lipped over the unnamed location, but team promoter Chris Van Straaten told the Express & Star: "There is a site which we are investigating, but it is the very early stages of consideration and we're unable to say any more at the moment.
"We have had a lot of interest and have received a lot of help from MP Pat McFadden, councillors and others. We are working towards a site and we're quite confident about and hopefully it will come to fruition within the next few months."
No chance

Quite fitting for a boring rider to win a boring meeting. Surely the end has to come for ignoring proper traditional tracks for rubbish venues like this?

Wish someone would show some common sense and get rid of these temporary tracks. 4 heats in, not one pass. Awful

1 hour ago, Marksman said:Probably stating the obvious here but almost every time I watch the Premiership I can’t help think that the make up of most of the tracks make it awful to watch.
We can get all the top riders we want over here, but on these tracks it will still be boring to watch.
Was the same last week at Sheffield, far too narrow, and the leader just clears offIt's Monbore. It's what it serves up. No surprise to read yet again of a garbage meeting with not one single moment of excitement. When will someone do something about that place?!

Streaming isn't stupid at all, it's one of the few things British Speedway does that isn't stuck in the twentieth century.
Yea, lets have something that will put even more people off from going to their local track.
