I won a heat at Foxhall after gating first. I was only cutting across the track to get a burger and ended up winning the heat as I “impressively blocked all attempts to pass”. Not my families only claim to fame there as Mum won heat 7 there one year on her scooter when she was desperate for a pee.

He didn’t you’re right, but he’s picked up form elsewhere in recent weeks and is riding very well. I guess availability was an issue and they thought with his good form, he was the best option available. 

Should be a cracker.  I’ve asked if they will name the final in your honour as they have used your ideas to run the show.  No expensive GP stars. Check. Run at weekend. Check. Cheap entrance fee. Check. Appeal to families. Check. Quick turnaround in the 30 odd heats, so no getting board in between heats. Check. Bringing on the next generation. Check. An event where you don’t need to worry about guests or du’s. Check. Jeopardy. Check, or as much jeopardy as we get in the other individual meeting Belle Vue run (PCMT). Nice modern facilities to view the racing. Check. The only thing holding us back this weekend is the podium, unless you can think of anything. The golden era starts here.

That’s all we can do really isn’t it? They’ve tried all the “five year plan” nonsense before only to rip it all up 12 months later and change things.    There’s so much uncertainty in British Speedway unfortunately with developers/Tracks closing, that we can only really view things short term and take each year as it comes and see what clubs come to the table for the following year.    Nothing much is really going to change while the current incumbents are still ruling the roost in terms of taking the sport forward with fresh plans and ideas also. 

There has been numerous mentions of significant dropoff of attendances within the Premiership clubs. This would be of have concern to many clubs but why? Will you / won't you continue as a fan in 2027 under the current structure? Why are attendances down? Why are Promoters so blind to public opinion?  

Why have we got a rising star in Will Cairns replacing Kevin Juhl Pedersen at 6, didn't exactly go that well when BV were here a few weeks ago.
