Wouldn't that mean they would miss that weeks weekend Polish matches if their test must be earliest 5 days from Swedish match?

All the more commendable and to think that Tom was only third choice after one of the selected riders turned down the opportunity to compete, who cited lack of racing in 2020. I would have thought any under 21 with aspirations would have jumped at the chance and gone out practicing in the UK as much as possible before the event. Looks like the future is looking bright for Tom.

Well done Tom Brennan, not easy in Europe without experience of their tracks.

I found that link was best, but yesterday wouldn't work. I had it on full screen and if you put curser on bottom right hand corner it brings up a playing menu along the bottom, had to change it to N Sport and worked fine. Had to do the same today. Hope that helps for the future.

There seems an awful lot of hoops to jump through for professional speedway to return if you read through this. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-on-phased-return-of-sport-and-recreation/elite-sport-return-to-domestic-competition-guidance

Very sad news, lovely guy and good team manager, RIP Maurice.

I have noticed that since the change to the clear envelope that my copy has been late, sometimes up to 7 days, here in Kent. It's strange that the odd time I have phoned Dave at subscriptions that the one he posts out, in the brown envelope, arrives the next day. Maybe during this virus situation, and the short staffed postal service in some parts of the country, the sorting offices can see that it is a magazine, as opposed to maybe a more important document, and decide to not overload their postmans rounds and hold on to them until a traditionally quieter day.

Very sad indeed, much admired, liked and respected. Condolences to all his family and friends. R.I.P. Eric.

Mine usually comes on a Thursday, not had it yet so hoping it comes tomorrow!

Seems UK football cancelled until 3rd April at least https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/coronavirus-england-vs-italy-denmark-cancelled-wembley-tickets-refunds-a9399686.html A statement from The FA read: “The FA, Premier League, EFL and FA Women’s Super League and FA Women’s Championship have collectively agreed to postpone the professional game in England until 3 April at the earliest. “This action, which will be kept under constant review, has been taken due to the increasing numbers of clubs taking steps to isolate their players and staff because of the Covid-19 virus. “It will also apply to all England team fixtures at every level and all FA competitions including the FA Cup and the Women’s FA Cup, along with academy and youth-team matches.

Ask Redcar...

Eurosport is part of the sky sport package, but if you want to watch the gp's then you still need BT sport.

In the mid to late 70's Exeter had a tie up with Canterbury as Wally Maudsley was co promoter, with John Richards, at Exeter and Promoter at Canterbury. In those days ther was no doubling up but it was usual for 2nd division #1 & 2 to be linked to a 1st division track. You could only be used as a #8 or to replace an injured/ill rider. The 1st division was so strong then that 2nd division heat leaders were on a par with the 1st division reserves.

Seems Charles Wright has changed clubs according to todays Speedway G B press release " British Champion and Cardiff wildcard Charles Wright represents Glasgow ". Maybe Glasgow can pick up a trophy with two riders in it !!!!!

Any candidates for the job? How about Pete Adams?

Schlein pulled out of heat 3 on third lap when last. Still waiting for rerun of heat 4, crash on first turn, all up ok but that was 15 mins ago.

I think Becker has a bright future in speedway to, but while he scored a few last night for Wolves, looking at speedway updates, he only beat Vissing and Perks from the Swindon. No doubt he will be even better next year.

£3k is what some clubs have to pay to rent their stadium, aside from all the other costs!! If those clubs who are paying £3k in rent are surviving now with what they are paying the riders, which I suspect is more than £5k a meeting, they should be able to survive on mikebv's suggestion.

But g13webb didn't say there were 4 heats with no overtaking, he did say " 4 heats were won from the gate " So in 2 of them there was passing for the minor places. 13 - 4 = 9 + 2 = 11 Heats with overtaking.

I think that both Zach and James Shanes, while both having progressed to a certain extent, have suffered by riding grasstrack / longtrack and speedway at a young age. They are desciplines that are apart in riding technique. Years ago many very good speedway riders could be seen in Germany, every Sunday, winning and doing very well in longtrack / grasstrack meetings, but only after they had established themselves as very good speedway riders. Wiggy told me it took at least 3 years to master Longtrack. Yet at the same time very good grasstrack riders were riding in the second halfs at speedway and not turning out to be the next great speedway rider, with a few exceptions. Many have said it takes a couple of races to get back to riding a speedway track after competing at grasstrack / longtrack. If you're good on the grass/longtrack on the continent it's hard to let go of the money to improve your speedway. How many true longtrack riders have won the World Speedway Championship? How many true Speedway riders have won the World Longtrack Championship? Just my thoughts.

Do you mean " Rye House Rockets Ltd " the newly incorporated company, on 30th March 2019, with James Mead as sole director?
