    How come this is still dragging on? How can riders (and teams) encourage sponsorship when they still don't know if the sponsors will get TV exposure. Surely by now race suits, bike covers etc need to be sorted.

    Coventry 2017

    Tony Steele, who has a vast collection of old speedway films, showed this race a few months ago at an NSSC meeting. It was a terrific race in front of a packed Brandon stadium and even though most in the room would have known the result it still drew gasps and cheers and a spontaneous round of applause.
  3. We are very pleased to say that we have managed to organise some great evenings for the next few months. All these guests are giving up their time to help support British Youth speedway.

    Denmark 2018

    Thanks for the link to the fixtures but I'm disappointed to see that there's hardly any fixtures in July. There's no meetings between 6th July and 8th August. Is this normal? We've booked a holiday in Sweden and Denmark from 14th to 28th July. We appear to be lucky in Sweden with meetings on the 17th & 18th but no Danish fixtures on 25th July has left a bit of a hole in the plans. Is there any chance of any speedway in Denmark from 24th to 27th July?
  7. The FIM SGP Race Director, Phil Morris, will be the next guest at the NSSC on Thursday 25th January, start time 8pm. Our venue is just down the road from Brandon stadium. Everybody is welcome at these events which comprise of a Q&A and questions from the floor. Non-members are charged £3 with all funds going to Neil Vatcher's GB Young Lions. For directions, future guests and all information please visit our website; https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk Thank you.
  8. Can anybody confirm that this is correct. Smederna's website also shows fixtures on both days. Then there's no fixtures on 24th July? Also in the Allsvenskan league there's a gap between 5th and 26th July. I was starting to plan a 2 week holiday in Sweden in July but it's all looking a bit odd. Thanks.
