Are they doing Stock Cars next year? Following the Ed Kennett career path 🤔

Just can't warm to this pair not doubting there ability just something about them !

I care for the wellbeing of the sport and that’s all,as of this moment mayfield have been anything but credible about their speedway venture, they haven’t even said they are the company doing it. So forgive me if I don’t share your enthusiasm for another possible speedway disaster, I’ll be happy to be proved wrong

I first thought CHolder was peering through a hole in the poster, like what you do at the seaside, being the O in Northampton!

With all due respect, where are they now flagrag? And now Dean is sticking the boot in too. Come on people at least give them a fair crack of the whip before writing them off as disasters waiting to happen ffs. They’ve at least shown up to keep the show on the road whilst those that lay on an excellent buffet have buggered off. Bizarre. Anyway, veering off topic here. Northampton. Can anyone upload the pics of the Holders there today? I don’t do Faceache. Edit: Just seen Haza’s post. Thank you

Is it you that’s representing UK at Eurovision?!

Bit harsh . Flirting with others will get you nowhere

When are Ipswich announcing their “great new GP Number 1” Flagrag? Mayfield seriously need to up their sausage roll game before anyone will take them seriously!!

Yes photo on facebook outside the stadium

The NSSC are very pleased to announce a very special extra meeting on 3rd March when the Glasgow Tigers Director, Peter Facenna, will be the guest. Should be very interesting to hear first hand about all the improvements and future plans for Glasgow Tigers and Allied Vehicles investment and support for British Speedway including recently revealed backing of the GB Young Lions. Everyone welcome at all NSSC events.

Maybe Easter is prime in some areas for crowds but Ipswich haven’t ridden at home for about 8 years on Good Friday.

Oh look. Polish troll is back. The one who said The SGP wasn't happening in 2026..... A few weeks before the 2026 SGP Calendar was announced. Now it's claiming that Companies House says Mayfield only came into existence in August 2025, even though Companies House clearly shows it was formed on 1 October 2014, and merely altered its name in 2025 to reflect its new move into MotoGP and Speedway

They certainly seem to be a company batting above their average or at least projecting that image

The holders have been at Northampton today ?

Dont give up the day job, as if you are trying to be a comedian, you wont even be able to sweep the stage ! I never worked in banking, and was fortunate enough to be able to take early retirement, so you trying to be a smug little grass fell flat, unfortunately for you !

Steve Irving seems to have developed a mild allergy to facts when it comes to Richard Coleman and Mayfield Sports Events. A quick look at Companies House shows that Mayfield only came into existence in August 2025 — meaning any “track record of success” is, at best, still in the paddock. A quick Google confirms that while MotoGP’s Tech3 team has a long list of investors, Richard Coleman is not among them. Mayfield hasn’t even staged a single Speedway Grand Prix heat as event controllers yet, but somehow found time to slice riders’ prize money by up to 30%. Yet Steve calls their involvement “huge”… and he’s right, just not in the way he thinks. It’s a huge gamble — a huge leap into the unknown. Meanwhile, the much‑rumoured Mayfield takeover of Ipswich Speedway still looks some distance from the chequered flag. With February 18th upon us and no deal in sight, we’ll probably see the Easter Bunny before that contracts get inked. Maybe Steve’s just still got stars in his eyes from his favourite little‑known TV show, Track Idol, where he votes for Richard Coleman week after week — while the rest of us prefer the factual series Unblinkered. You have also never considered that, being born in the late 1960s, I have been in and around speedway for a very long time, nor have you considered that I have crossed paths with Coleman and know how he operates... For the sake of speedway, and people, fans, riders and others, potentially left high and dry by Coleman / Mayfield, but history says otherwise... Have you seen Flagrag's comments later in this thread ? : "Unfortunately Mayfield don’t have a great record with Speedway organisational skills. The GPs that they promoted operationally were a disaster with a number of important things that they forgot to arrange and in the end Discovery got them out of a mess by arranging the missing bits and bringing their operations team in. Even on the day little things were not arranged like buffet and food for officials , sponsors not getting their pit walks and badge allocation with track marshals names not on lists for practice just for the event etc "

Bysarna speedway have now started the construction work on their new 500 cc track which will measure 302m i length.

Less than 4 weeks to the official season starts 6 weeks till Easter, normally prime speedway crowds. BUT yet still no fixtures 😲 people are wanting to plan their lives and family time 🤔

I understand the frustration but I don’t think people have stopped caring, they are just fed up with the same problems. What’s needed now is clearer direction and better promotion to keep fans turning up at Ipswich and across the sport.

Yep mine had been booked as well since I new the date in Salford Quays 3 nights £170.Booked for Branham horse trials in June as soon as I knew the date from last year.They changed it about 4 months a go to the week after now but luckily I had free cancellation as it was supposed to be the Grand Prix weekend.

And the longer it goes on, many potential sponsors may lose interest in putting money into a local track, as the sponsor will have to include the money in a potential business plan and organise to bring contacts for a day out at their chosen fixture

My hotel been booked since the date came out, but on cancellation as waiting to see if I need to rob a bank for tickets 😛

Removed this post for reasons of tact.

There's a couple of international matches planned for Mildenhall this season I believe... looking forward to seeing Bewley, Lambert, DJ Woffy et al in action 🤔😉
