Criminally underused as top publicity for our beleaguered sport when he was at the height of his powers. Brilliant career. Even better fuc*in dj…😁

Wasn't it that Alan Trump geezer who spent it on his other projects?

42-48

I think the trustees voted to invest the money into Plymouth to keep speedway in Devon

Well just got to hope Norway pull their finger out then.

Saturday 11th July - Ashfield Stadium - 19:00 Glasgow Tigers - Drew Kemp (G), Mario Hausl, Chris Harris, Kevin Juhl Pederson, Leon Flint, Sam Hagon, Freddy Hodder Edinburgh Monarchs - Dan Thompson, Jonatan Grahn, Justin Sedgmen, Tate Zischke (G), Kye Thomson, Mitch Cluff, Jordy Loftus

I thought it was an decent meeting, I would certainly sooner watch a meeting from this track than Ipswich, Northampton, Sheffield, Oxford, Plymouth or Poole. It was not a dust a bowl, neither was it over watered, you saw clean passes after the 1st/2nd bend on both the inside and the outside throughout the meeting.

Not a huge shock but I am glad he is walking away from the sport on his own terms best wishes for long and happy retirement .

It is irrelevant what anyone thinks, it will be postponed if England beat Norway. The only sensible thing to do.

Draw 1 Nilsson 2 Kvech 3 MJJ 4 Parnitskyi 5 Zmarzlik 6 Madsen 7 Kubera 8 Lambert 9 Huckenbeck 10 Lebedevs 11 Kurtz 12 Woryna 13 Dudek 14 Fricke 15 Thomsen 16 Doyle

Huckebeck-£200 more Dudek-£200 more Thompsen- £50 more

Rename it Dirt Track. Many who say " What's Speedway?" would have a good idea what Dirt Track is.

Lebedevs £300 more madsen £150 less

It's because Paulco, who normally did it, got fed up with peope with multiple user names posting rubbish he got fedup with the forum and doesn't even look at it now

It's a quote i've never understood. How many clubs is Bomber once always of?

We'll also need to know which tracks aren't playing the obligatory "Final Countdown" before heat 15!

He has officially retired

Thanks for the memories. Best Wishes for the future.

A fantastic rider, who had a stellar career... I am sure whatever he does next will be a success at given his incredible drive, resilience, dedication and desire... Maybe the BSP could get him involved in promoting the sport in the UK?.. He is still the one rider many outside of Speedway in the UK will have heard of and could recognise.. And is still young enough to connect with a younger demographic... The greatest British rider ever?... I think his three World Titles cements that accolade.... Good luck to him...

I can’t help but think we are about to see Chris Harris in the 2027 Grand Prix Series. 😂

"ThrottleJockeyWay"... (But not at Ipswich)...

Difficult innit... I've asked Gemini and here's what it suggests: Rebranding a sport as unique and historic as speedway is a fascinating challenge. The current name, "Speedway," is classic, but for a modern, casual audience, it doesn't quite scream "500cc bikes with no brakes sliding sideways on dirt." To capture the raw, adrenaline-fueled chaos of the sport while making it sound fresh and futuristic in 2026, here are a few naming angles depending on the vibe you'd want to go for: ### 1. The High-Octane & Extreme Route *If you want to position it alongside extreme sports like X-Games or Red Bull events to pull in a younger crowd:* * **Dirt SPRINT** – Short, punchy, and describes the explosive nature of a 4-lap heat perfectly. * **Apex Slide** – Focuses on the defining, jaw-dropping skill of the sport: backing a bike into a corner sideways at full throttle. * **MotoGrit** or **GritMoto** – A nod to the shale/dirt track surface and the sheer physical toughness required of the riders. ### 2. The Raw & Mechanical Route *Leaning into the unique, stripped-back nature of the machines (no brakes, fixed gear, pure engine):* * **Raw Moto** – Simple, clean, and highlights that this isn't over-engineered Formula 1 or MotoGP; it's just a rider, an engine, and two wheels. * **Brakeless** (or **The Brakeless Series**) – Instantly hooks people who don't know the sport. The absolute first fact anyone learns about speedway that blows their mind is that the bikes have no brakes. Making it the name is a massive marketing tool. * **Oval Shifters** – Sounds mechanical, sleek, and defines the battleground. ### 3. The Futuristic & Corporate Route *If you were trying to completely slick it up for a massive global TV or streaming package:* * **Velocita Oval** – Giving it a European, high-end motorsport flair. * **ShaleX Championship** – Mixing the traditional track surface with a modern "X" factor branding element. * **SGP: Velocity League** – Building on the current Grand Prix initials but making it sound faster and more dynamic. > **The Verdict:** If I were the marketing consultant holding the pen, I'd go with **The Brakeless Series** or **Dirt SPRINT**. They are instant hooks for people scrolling through TV channels or social media feeds who have never seen a meeting before I quite like MotoGrit

A sensible decision imo.
