I'm thinking Sam Fox and best pairs very apt.

Let’s hope it’s run on the regular Friday night as it’s always a struggle to get a good crowd for individual meetings.

Will definitely try to make it... if I'm not at work

Just the saddle? I believe someone told her it was an "upright"...

I think most people think, that what they did was harmless enough but was entirely symbolic of the thinking that runs Speedway in this country and it was all summed up in one short video.

Looking forward to this meeting already! Hopefully a bumper payday for Redccar too

Lions leading the way again... A Whatsapp channel, long overdue 👏

Yep they’ve made a mess of it! And previously the British reduction wasn’t taken off before doubling. But now probably depends if that club needs an extra 0.20 or not 😂

Unless he's in Darcy Ward's back yard when he goes whichever way his machine takes him!! Sometimes he even stays on!!😂

Next weekend the 7-8th Feb is the classic off road show at the Telford international center, it’s a huge show with 1000s of bikers and family’s attending over the 2 days, the usual speedway suspects have stalls there, me, Jan staechmann,,Aiden and Les Collins (ride &Skid) Cov comp,Hagon shocks,Sid’s wheels, I think Buxton, belle vue supporters club and Workington are all represented there and you always get a good sprinkle of former riders, but where are the bspl or speedway futures again ???? It costs peanuts for a stand and as I’m sure the usual folk will say why bother? Well it’s not preaching to the converted for a start,,we need to set up a team that does all the shows no matter how big or small,,we have to get out there and go to the people, anyway hope to see you there

Exactly what I said yesterday. £27 well spent because it got people talking.

Don't think either of them are now available.

Hopefully a 'best pairs' meeting can be arranged.

I remember being at the best pairs at Hackney maybe 1986? And Sam Fox was presenting the trophies … little old me was very pleased lol

Because the limit was too low the season before, therefore the rider averages are artificially inflated and now the demand is to raise it to keep riders in team places but then gets exploited because signing Mulford on 8.74 (probably less as i didn't take the brit reduction off before doubling his CL average) is less points used than Ace Pijper or Ben Trigger who had poorer seasons in the CL than Mulford did. I can see a lot of emerging riders being pushed out this year and teams made up of CL reserves and NL non improving journeymen.

Oi oi granted your taking your chances if you venture into Lynn or Yarmouth and your not on your toes but the other 98% is all farms and country pubs which are most agreeable, If you see a wiry fella in Lynn who would now be about 80 shouting "RICHARD KNIGHT" at about 10 thousand decibels best give him a wide birth,

Wembley Lions 1970.

Blame Leicester, Oxford and Lynn for that one. They pushed for it.

In the grand scheme of things yesterdays bit of misguided publicity is no big deal really,the sport has bigger issues to worry about and it got the sport in the papers today and for good or bad it got tongues wagging all over the sport, looking back it’s quite funny really and in a strange way I’m sort of looking forward for who is the next former celebrity to get dragged out to show their closet love of our wonderful sport, maybe Rob Godfrey might even be able to remember the name of the next one

don't think a trip into Norfolk is a treat

Depends how they’ll sit financially I guess.

Exactly. Correct. He’s clearly going to have to be compensated for walking away. He’s not going to let them run HIS business. The sale is going to need to go through for everyone’s sake here. It’s a complete mess.

I think folk are taking this all too seriously!

I’m not sure that’s correct Phil. The BSPL can’t just take over and run it without Chris Louis’ agreement can they? And I’m not convinced the rest of the BSPL are in Louis’ good books at the moment! Think he’d rather close it down than help them run their league..

Trying to get something for his business while is might have a little bit of resale value. If he doesn’t run in 2026 he won’t be exposing himself to the risk of losing huge sums of money running the club.
