Cross Roads replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Terribly sad day for Midlands speedway, will be there tonight. Hoping for a Lions win to keep the momentum going into the play offs. -
Well they were wearing Glasgow Tigers race suit with #3 on the back but it doesn't look big enough to be Dan Thompson.

Just another throttle jockey 😂

Who did a few pre meeting laps? Looked fairly accomplished.

Interesting rut developing in line with gate 3 going towards first bend.

Oops... this was meant to be Brummies v Lions thread, forgot to edit topic fully after copying title of other thread.. Sorry! Been away for weekend so first time I've had chance to look at forum. Are there no longer any mods operating here? -
Track looking well watered at the moment. Haven't been to midday BHM fixture for a while, looking very busy. Bad timing for the roadworks on Kirkmanshulme Lane! Hope no problems getting here for Bewley & Kurtz after late meeting in Poland last night.

For anyone interested the following in Poland this morning: After the game, it was reported that Wtókniarz decided to protest Anders Thomsen's engine, on which he achieved this impressive result. In addition, the carburetter from the Vaculik motorcycle was also reported for inspection. Wtókniarz had to pay a total amount of 17 thousand zlotys for filing a protest, which, as it turned out, were thrown into the proverbial mud, because everything was fine with the Thomsen engine and Vaculik carburetter and Wtókniarz's protests were rejected. Interestingly and ironically at the same time, a large part of the deposit paid for the protest against Andersen Thomsen's engine will go to the Dane's bank account. - They checked what was with my engine. They thought I was cheating that my engine was too big. They opened it, they started checking. I thought it was even smaller. And so it was indeed. 500cc power is allowed, and I had about 495. It seems to me that no one in PGE Ekstraliga is cheating. The money stays with me. - the Dane commented on the situation

Ian Thomas was a top promoter of speedway. And presentation was a strong point of his. I'll always recall the 1970 season when packed crowds at Derwent Park saw and heard the Comets (and away 7) march from the pits to starting area with the track staff to the Radetzky March by Strauss...that tune is still my fave classical piece. The sometimes downside was when you only counted 6 Comets - Ian would explain Bob took a fall last night, at Sheffield, so R/R will operate (naff to hear this about Bob Valentine). Although sometimes riders had just arrived and missed the aforementioned march however made their heats. But most certainly great days to live on in the memory bank. UTC.

Oxford Chargers v Steelers 24/8/25 3pm
Fozzie4388 replied to NumberEight's topic in National League Speedway
As szkocjasid has said it's due to lack of Volunteers basically the updates team has got less and less over the years there used to be 10+ of us now really it's down to me and Lauren but after doing it for 20 years I've recently decided to step back because i feel I've done my time and getting no help from elsewhere I've had enough. In all honesty I'd be very surprised if there was a speedway updates site in 2026. If you ever want to see the scores though 90% of meetings are now covered by the BSN stats website also -
Bank holiday Monday meetings were always packed Rayleigh with speedway in the morning and Stock cars in the afternoon where Chick Woodroff was the promoter. One particular speedway meeting always sticks and it was Rayleigh versus Boston. I cannot remember which race but the Boston heat leader Arthur Price was out and Rayleigh had one Ivan Miller who I believe started off on grass track. On the final lap Miller who had come from the back passed Price to win. Price was not a happy chap. Some of the best meetings involved the local derbies with the likes of Romford, Crayford, Canterbury Eastbourne and Ipswich. Packed stadia and leaping uncle Len and terrific rivalry and atmosphere.

Very sunny, complete blue sky today. Will be 24 degrees by start time. Racing is usually better when its drier and slicker but they will have to dump a lot of water on it during meeting to keep dust down and that will affect it. For those who can't make it BVTV.live - Belle Vue Speedway Live Streaming is the live stream very good quality.

Hope Charles Wright will be helping out.

Hopefull they are to shrewd to do that unless the new top league is championship standard and division 2 is national league standard.
