Totally off topic of the AGM but odsal is being prepared so that a speedway promoter can jump on board at any time. Steve rees has been pretty categorical on that since day 1.

Lost it from last May, hadn't booked anything for next May yet. I have tickets, everything else will be last minute jobbie unless the world changes drastically over the next few months.

Already lost my DB trains money, they were offering cash refunds up until the day of my travel, no provision was made after that. Eurostar have extended my vouchers twice but atm have to be used by April. So gonna have to pay that again as well. Hoping hotels will be a simple transfer over though. Having experienced Warsaw in 30 degree plus heat (may 2018), i can only imagine how nice it may be in August. Still one of my favorite cities in the world.

so Kent need to find a replacement for Covatti but all other Kings and Royals team members committed for 2021. Additional banking has been added to bends 3 and 4 to hopefully produced even more passing

Huewan was very good at studio presenting but can't remember him commentating (not saying he didnt) Could bring back Jonathan Green for the pit interviews too...... I think the combination of his poor commentary, lazy knowledge base, and his sheer desire to bleed money from our sport at every turn, Getting Nigel Pearson out the commentary seat would be akin to speedway getting its own bank holiday.

Thats unfair on Rowe tbf, his commentaries will never seem great when he is constantly either having to correct Sams errors and overlook his pronunciations. I make little secret that Dave Goddard is my fav commentator, and paired with a genuine speedway officinado in Kelv Tatum for me would be the dream ticket. For me Pearson is just annoying to listen too, and for someone so experienced, having to laugh his way through his own errors on a weekly basis is embarrassing.

Tbf to Polish clubs, the amount of time, money and expertise invested in young Poles is immense. So its not like they hunt out young foreign prospects. Its the star names they poach away, but again. If you could earn 1500 a point plus 50,000 signing on fee vs 100 quid a point and a spares van voucher signing on fee. If you trained for years to become a store manager at McDonald's and then Burger King offer you ten times the amount, I would suggest 95 percent of people would see security for your kids over loyalty to the company that trained them, every day of the week.

I am normally the first one to say about giving brits every opportunity possible. But its unrealistic to expect a team who loses a 9 point imported rider, to replace them with a choice of NL riders. Would make that very uncompetitive.

Realistically the BSPA have so much to discuss. After the Polish ran a full league, and Swedish a limited one in 2020, whilst in the UK we were spectators from a far.... The bspa need to plan for a full season. A full season with limited capacity. A full season behind closed doors A stop start season with ever changing restrictions. A season where non UK based riders may become unable to travel Etc etc etc. Basically the BSPA have to try and make a viable plan a,b,c,d,e,f,g,and h Whether we will need to enter speedway team and mechanics into social bubbles. In an ever changing world, the BSPA need to have total flexibility. Think Ben91 said it best. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.

As spot on as it gets.

I ve seen a few people say this, but I couldn't disagree more. The riders in heat 16 knew they had made semis and therefore could settle for positions. Had the 4 riders known that race would decide the title they would have almost certainly approached the race differently... Hope Dan Gilkes is feeling better today, and Drew Kemp is ok after his heavy off. Would loved to have seen another angle of the Rowe pass on Lawlor to see how tight that really was. Having had a year on big wide slick tracks in Poland, a grippy narrow Berwick must of felt a bit strange but felt he continued to demonstrate his continued development. Also worth noting that the vast majority of riders involved last night have multiple years left at this level... so if we keep them all fit and improving over the coming seasons I still feel there is plenty to be excited about.

What Anders Rowe has done this year is what so many young bits should have done over the years. Done it tough, up sticks and gone sink or swim in the exact way the aussies and yanks do coming to Europe. Yet in typical British speedway style he has gotten little to no recognition for what he has done. Beating proper riders out there too, and gets overlooked for the British final and SON!!! All this when only himself, Tai,Dan,Rob and and Adam Ellis were the only brits to see regular competitive racing in 2020.

He has offered up plenty of competition.

Afc Wimbledon have cheated and scammed so many non league clubs on thier "fairytale" climb. You honestly won't find many in the football world wishing them a great deal of success, let alone those in the Banger, stock car and greyhound communities.

I had not even heard of it....

Nothing but praise for this deal. Those struggling cam chuck a few pennies in and not miss, and the more fortunate chuck a few quid in... really hope people buy into it and actually pay in... An affordable streaming model is what is required, this looks promising.

The lorry Park is Ashford (my home town) has been desperately needed for ages. Far better then operation stack closing the M20 down.

The dogs are kept and access the track via parts of the stadium not in use during speedway. So in effect if a positive case closed the stadium side of the operation. In theory the dogs could still run behind closed doors.

Again rdc promotions (who until the court case with the neighbours, owned Mildenhall stadium and promoted there) ran bangers and stock cars there for a couple of years late 90s early 00s and I believe they did infact run a few Robin events at the home of the Robins.

They used to hold the Robin world championship there, even had a yank from the air base race one year.

You joke, but look on You Tube for Robin Reliant banger racing.....

Saturday is not one of our 2 race nights had the initial staging been Monday and therefore UK racenight then the British would have had priority.

National unlimited Banger World final, dont believe any of the major stock car formulas are running world championships this year.

I dont think you can garuntee any event will happen atm, not until the days leading up to it. Even then another announcement from the PM could still pull the rug from under it.
