because there is no new site and they full well know it , no stone has been left unturned in the quest for an alternative site and none have ever been found , brandon estates are now fully singing from Gaming internationals bible of how to build on a stadium with the empty promise of a new site , then make no effort to even go through the sham of finding one ,once the first brick has been laid

No interest in this? Looks to be the playoff final contenders on current form (and depending if Holder returns to fitness in time.) LEICESTER: Ryan Douglas, Dan Thompson, Nick Morris, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson. BELLE VUE: Brady Kurtz, Norick Blodorn, Peter Kildemand, Zach Cook, Jason Doyle, Tate Zischke, Will Cairns.

Who would be a promoter eh? Afterall we all know what we think we might or should do - but of course most plans don’t survive first contact or in a speedway sense everything works until the tapes go up!

In this weeks star David Howe says we can't make any changes after the Redcar meeting, which I think is incorrect because we still won't have completed 75% of our fixtures.

Racing between the heavy showers

Not quite 0%. Junior racing, check. (Go Dan!) Track surface & equipment, check. Investment in stadium, big check. We’ve not needed to use our track covers as only if there is bad rain during a meeting do we feel the need to call it off. Rain beforehand runs off well due to the investment in an effective drainage system. I get what you say about the squandering of the Sky money in speedway generally.

These just come up with ‘no image available’.

Hopefully both teams survive their Friday fixtures and we get to see both teams at full strength

Not the same. He had unexpected mechanical gremlins at redcar that they desperately tried to sort out. Yesterday was a mistake on Foords behalf when he pulled forward to the tapes about a second too late

And whose fault was that ?we had a massive opportunity when Sky was on board but 0% investment by promotions - they just took the money and ran - every track should have could have invested in track covers should have could have invested in junior racing like in Poland Sweden and Denmark - track surface should have been improved better grading equipment investment in stadiums so much that’s should have could have been improved so little wonder Sky Sports walked away

Well, well, well...... the same happened at Redcar on Friday !!! Making a bit of a habit out of it ???

Did the football club help towards the cost of bringing the Electrical Firm in, or did the Bandits have to fork out the cost themselves (I'm presuming Landels didn't do it for free, of course, if they did, good on them) ?

Friday 24th July: Edinburgh Monarchs v Plymouth Gladiators (Championship, Armadale, 7:30pm) ROSS ECO TECHNOLOGIES MONARCHS: Dan Thompson, rider replacement for Paco Castagna, Justin Sedgmen (capt.), Jonatan Grahn, Kye Thomson, Mitch Cluff, Jordy Loftus. OBM GLADIATORS: Danny King, Joe Thompson, Daniel Klima, Ben Barker (capt.), Scott Nicholls, Anze Grmek, Ben Whalley. Following the match there will be four races of a Vintage Bike display, Scotland v England. The bikes will be displayed prior to the meeting. And of course it is Ed the Monarch's birthday! A full strength Plymouth will be dangerous opponents. They have Ben Whalley at reserve who scored 13 for Monarchs Academy last Friday at Armadale, and Danny King and Scott Nicholls are two of the best visiting riders. Monarchs without Paco (SGP challenge) and go with R/R with no suitable guests available on another busy Friday night. I think Kye, Jonatan and the two reserves can take his rides. Should be a close one.

Not that I have seen and I hope not.

Rasmus Jensen? Has he been unsuspended?

You could land a harrier jump jet on her stick out bosoms. Or use them as a microphone rest.🤣

Hiding behind closed doors

Apart from Belle Vue away. The team has had close respectable results they are so near to winning it’s been frustrating at times.

Yes and no. Riders losing form is part of normal business but 1 win and 2 draws from 16 meetings certainly isn't. It's double frustrating because everything else seems to be done well but the team has been allowed to drag. It's not too late - a late season signing can at least make the table look respectable and give fans something to cheer but I'm guessing they're happy to limp and cry "first season!"

When’s the wedding? Don’t forget to send my invitation

Everyone.

I’m sure the main voice is working away at removing this new “lone voice” as has happened with three voices over tecent years. In the past he was surrounded by like minded cronies on the top table but that has been diluted somewhat this close season. With the addition of Mark & Rob to the inner circle and Cairns and Colman supporting from the outskirts, I see a really opportunity to finally push things through for the better. With Richard’s help maybe we can see us build up rather than continually dumb down.

Following the unavoidable -- in no way the fault of the speedway promotion -- postponement of last Saturday's BSN Series Semi-Final, speedway roars back into Berwick (OK, Tweedmouth if we're being accurate) this Saturday, with Plymouth's Gladiators storming the Shielfield fortress. Huge kudos to promoter Jamie Courtney and the good guys at Landels Electrical at East Ord (01289-331545) for putting in the hard graft necessary to restore the stadium to its full electrical glory over the past few days. Remember Landels Electrical if you have need of sparky assistance, domestic or industrial, in future -- always try to help the people who help speedway! Although both clubs are in action on Friday night (Bandits at Oxford, Plymouth at Edinburgh) they hope to be at full strength on Saturday night: BANDITS: 1. Peter Kildemand, 2.Jye Etheridge (C) 3. Victor Palovaara 4,Jordan Jenkins 5. Nick Morris 6. Jack Smith 7. Reid Battye. GLADIATORS: 1 - Danny King (C) 2 Joe Thompson 3. Daniel Kilma 4 Ben Barker 5 Scott Nicholls 6 Azne Grmek 7 Ben Whalley. The appearance of the amazing 48-year-old Scott Nicholls -- a 7-time British Champion -- in the visiting line-up is a huge attraction. Ever since he appeared in third place in the 1989 British U-16 Championship at the age of 11 (racing, and beating, boys up to five years his senior Scott has proved one of Britain's best, as well as most durable stars. Recent maximum performances tell us Scott remains very much a speedway star -- as ever, it will be pleasure to welcome him, and watch him, at Shielfield this weekend.

Oops, how naughty.

Given everyone knows it’s not possible to go on holiday with an injury you wonder why he lied about it. I sprained a ankle in Benidorm a few years ago and obviously was sent home immediately. Is he a serial lier what with this and stating recently his new team was his “ number one choice”? Luckily with the help of some knowledgeable Ipswich fans we were able to dismiss that lie very quickly.
