    Motogp

    I believe (also not an expert) that Superbike uses modified production bikes while Motogp are purpose built prototypes. This means that there is more tech on a gp bike which helps them go faster. I see it as Motogp is the F1 of bike racing while Superbike is the GT3 but with less of a performance gap.
  3. Yesterday
  4. You are absolutely right it is a disgrace. It looks awfully like being asleep at the wheel. Treating the fans like mushrooms without even feeding them s**t is worse. Carl Johnson on Speedway 360 stated that Peterborough have been approached by the BSPL about coming back next season. He did state that they are not in a position both track wise and financially to do this but still didn't rule it out completely. Hadn't time to watch the full podcast so don't know how the discussion finished. The planning permission for developing the Showground got turned down, it would be great to see the club return but just how feasible is this ?.
  5. Monkey Tennis!!!! Or... Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank.. A Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
  6. Cairns and Rushen also advertised so we'll have all 3 thank you 😁
  7. I wouldn’t want to condemn any. I am pointing out the math of the situation and the consequence of the current promoters failing to agree on a way forward.
  8. Flights and hotel booked for our first visit to Wroclaw. We're looking forward to it. Our 4th different Polish City to watch a GP. May do the Prague weekend again. Love the City, even if its Petriny racetrack constantly produces perhaps the least entertaining GP event of the series.
  9. Awesome! Saw them in Nottingham on the Wednesday, brilliant show 🤘. I wonder if they were playing "Still Counting" at the AGM? 😂
  10. I believe Bradford is too expensive and from what the stock car people are saying the rugby people(who have a short memory )could be kicking them out and who knows what’s going on at Eastbourne, I personally think it’s a family dispute but whatever the reason they don’t want speedway back
  11. Well of all the riders advertised to be attending its unlikely to be Charles Wright or Brady Kurtz!!....or is it!??
  12. Nicolai is advertised in speedway star as making an appearance, does not say if it's on the comets stand though 😄
  13. Trade stands, nostalgia or promotion, it doesn't matter what you call it, everyone who wants the sport to continue has to try and do their bit. If by pushing an open door tomorrow keeps the door open then great. If you let the door close it gets locked. I will be there early tomorrow and also at the offroad show in Telford next year trying to keep a little bit of that door open.
  14. Didn't the people who relaid the track at Odsal try and get someone to run the promotion but no one came forward?
  15. Apparently already snapped up by Poole, no surprise there.
  16. How about Bradford or Eastbourne? Both have tracks already there unused ?
  17. Which of the current Teams would you condemn to the scrapyard then? What about their Supporters? You are condemning five clubs to oblivion. I am afraid I cannot agree with you.
  18. When I went to Hyde Rd in the seventies, they had several turnstiles that didn't count the "click".... When I first went to Old Trafford in the late seventies and eighties, you paid the attendant and jumped the turnstile... I got all my money back for a Cup Final ticket, several times, by passing it though the stand to those queuing outside to use it again in the 80's and 90's.... .
  19. Best not tell Starmer about his other job. How come Rachel from accounts has not found out about the gold mine that is known as speedway? Riders doubling up and earning twice as much as they declare, promoters taking cash at the turnstiles, overseas riders popping into the UK for some extra cash without paying tax and meetings taking place under the guise of an amateur sport. Need to get a grip and deal with all the tax avoidance going on. Alas a non dom status is but a pipe dream and then reality hits home. Then you realise the majority of clubs hide the true financial state and without an undisclosed cache of funds the sport would be dead in the water. Is speedway run by the Masons. Why else is it such a cloak and dagger arrangement with a failure to be open. Only joking but why do those in charge hide so much and keep the supporters in the dark
  20. There a few tracks which could be put back into life but the stadium owners just don’t want it, Newcastle included, my feeling from what I understand is it’s Peterborough or if that not possible then it’s a team from the championship and maybe mildenhall will take up that spot in the championship
