No. Started in Division 2 (1968-1970)

Different times different strengths. Hardly any team came close to matching that 98 side that season. no team since the 80s has been anywhere close that level of dominance.

Erik Gundersen 10.23, Simon Wigg 8.86, Lance King 8.74, Alan Grahame 8.69, Phil Collins 7.98, Peter Ravn 7.97, Jan O. Pedersen 6.78 Tony Rickardsson 10.35, Tomasz Gollob 9.38, Chris Louis 9.35, Scott Nicholls 6.41, Antonín Šváb Jr. 4.98 Savalas Clouting 4.19. Really,? No one ever mentions Oxford 86. But that doesn't compare either

Seems she only done it for money, as she and other past "celebrity's" sell greetings through various online companies, see link earlier on, prices start at £27 . A mate of mines wife bought him a birthday wish off a past man utd player, posted a message online to wish him a happy birthday cost £25

Would think it would be someone with money to burn.No way can it pay without top up TV money which looks unlikely at this stage.Personally can’t see it happening.

I applaud Sheffield for sticking with Flint & Rowe. Why Etheridge & the elder Holder who is 15 years past his best I don't know.

I agree with almost everything you say I just don't think he'll learn how to ride closer to other riders by going to see a trick cyclist but by becoming a better motor cyclist and that'll only come with experience.

Couldn't be much worse!

Will they add Tatum on the team

Finally Scunny reveal another rider.

She’s almost ready.

The event was a bit naff but so is speedway nowadays. And as for getting Linda Lusardi to do it.... Why not? It needed to be someone the speedway punters could relate to, and is there a better looking lass about their age group? I read she's 67 - amazing! She wasn't flaunting herself and remember she even had a part in the Detectorists series Better than getting some jumped up Gen Z or geriatric ex-rider to do it. But I'm slightly surprised she even agreed to do it - speedway is never going to boost her image - quite the reverse.

Roy Keane just said... "That's her job!"....

Ashton is a rare talent, you can tell the way he rides the bike,he is a natural on a bike and that is very rare in this sport,he beat lots of big names in his short career but also lost to absolutely nobody’s by half a lap, that’s not confidence or lack of experience it’s because he has a mental block around riders,it’s not fear or experience or lack of talent, it is a mental block, I pointed this out before last season after watching him ride over a few meetings saying joining kings Lynn was a mistake because the track is a 100% commitment track and will bite you if you’re not committed, he has to get over that block and the only way to get over that is with a sports psychologist, you can’t ride it off, if he did he could of gone on to bigger things because he has got what it takes, I would of like to of known if he was the same in motox and I suspect he was, I’ve seen it in a couple of riders over the years, Justin Elkins was another but he displayed it in a different way

King's Lynn 1966 Coatbridge (near Glasgow) 1968 After Edinburgh had closed in 1967 to redevlop stadium for Commonwealth Games. White City 1976

Totally Embarrassing. You wonder who signed that off !! Rumour has it that the Sex Pistols will dress up as Cradley Heath Heathens for the next campaign. BSPL are lining up JVC Video to be Cup Sponsors.

Reading?

Think you've been watching to much Traitors 😂

Maybe the Future is the Loose Women audience?😉

Seen enough boobs in speedway made. Don’t need female ones also

I have no problem with Mulford being at this level I have to say. He's probably too good though. I'd have less of a problem with it if there were more teams. He's still a developing rider after all. He's a victim of circumstance, has spent time as a cost cutting measure, sorry I mean rising star in the Premiership and now nobody at that level wants him it would be unfair for him to be punished by being ruled out of the third tier. Similarly if there are British riders unattached at a higher level who fit the average criteria I welcome them. That higher standard of opponent and level of professionalism they hopefully bring should help team mates and opponents. Simon Lambert is an example being mooted. If he signs for Kings Lynn then that's only acceptable if they are his one club. In a development league with such a small number of teams those sides shouldn't be having to draft in big guns to get near the points limit. It sounds as if that's why Lambert will be at Lynn so questions have to be asked about why the rules put in place have left them needing to make that move. Given the apathy shown by many "professional" sides to the third tier I hope that isn't the case because Lynn are one of the few who are actually proactively trying to develop young riders by putting out a NDL side. If they're then shafted by the points limit that beggars belief. Given what has happened over the last 10/15 years with the average conversion rate and doubling up free-for-all between the top two leagues there's a bigger gap than ever between the third and the second tiers now. The answer is probably changes at the top and the bottom of the tree with the middle then falling into a natural order. There needs to be defined quality levels and a pathway from the bottom league to the top. That suggestion of course would be popular with nobody. Self interest rules this sport even when it comes in the guise of repeatedly shooting itself in the foot. (Bit of a tangent there, apologies @Fortythirtyeight not aimed at you or your post. Plenty of general speculation on my part beyond the initial paragraph!)

Has a brand new team/track ever started in the top flight? Apart from the first ever season of course. Although I suspect even then they'd all ran non league meetings. But let's just say since 1965 onwards. Trying to wrack my brains. I know there's been new tracks for existing clubs (Belle Vue) and resurrected clubs at new and old facilities (Leicester and Oxford) but they all had a existing or previous fan base. Leicester maybe re-started in the 2nd tier anyway. Having scratched my head I've come up with Bristol? Or was there speedway in Bristol before the late 70's? Canny big risk to set up a new track in a town which has zero fan base as far as I am aware and having to start at the highest level... however low that high might be 😄

What’s the news going to be this week??

I think you might be a little overly optimistic. Are you sure you are not a promoter? Rose tinted glasses and all that😄
