And FAR less riders

Wouldn't that also be the case if a decent Swede, Brit, Aussie, Ruskie or Yank wanted a ride? By your own admission, Newcastle appear to be up the creek without a paddle!!

Many thanks.

Has anyone got any news on who is the final rider for Scunthorpe this year?

It would be very interesting to hear Jon Cook's side of this story, as I'm convinced Stuart Douglas would unaware of any such goings on at his club!!

Bill Maxwell who rode for Berwick in 1969 has sadly passed away. RIP

This was certainly the case when Sky covered EL meetings, and I'm almost certain BT also compensated the staging track.

It won't be the BSPA, it's now in the hands of the SCB.

Would he be allowed any official involvement in the future?

I believe that the television rights for football over the next few years are being announced next week? I'm sure BT have given priority to this and the speedway deal will be revealed in good time (sometime after).

The terracing to the right of the building suggests that the CGI has been produced from the track side :/

Particularly when Wednesday is the declared day for Premiership meetings!!

That's not what he has been quoted as saying in this weeks' Speedway Star.

or Hampel?

How many points do Rye House have left for their last rider?

Damian Drozdz it is then!

According to Peter Oakes, there is big news about 'Lakeside 2018' in tomorrow's Speedway Star.

Seems like it

Kasprzak and Morley announced, with Sedgmen heading out of the door.

A proper cock up all round then

Kenny Wennerstam?

You have just underlined the root cause of the demise of speedway in Great Britain......and exposed the BSPA who have allowed/encouraged it to happen.

That doesn't mean Leicester couldn't retain the same team.......you are assuming the riders would remain at their current Championship teams, whereas they could choose to represent the Lions, and Nilsson might want to ride in the Championship! The fact is, Leicester COULD retain the same team if they were relegated.

With respect, he's hardly a complete unknown. Anyone who follows speedway in Sweden will tell you what a talent he is. Remember that Tommy Jansson, Anders Michanek, Tony Rickardsson and Peter Karlsson were all "complete unknowns" at one time.

Why?
