Your just a boy Neil 😃. 94 is a good age, still plenty more meetings to enjoy if we are lucky enough to live that long 🤞👍. As long as Speedway is still going of course.

One for the older comets fans. Cliff Hindle father of ex comet Ian Hindle died a couple of days ago, aged 94.. was also a promoter at barrow speedway in the park road days.

I think you will find Pickering will have a new championship average after two meetings are completed and this takes preference over his elite average converted

Did someone not mention that Boothby was not very well at some stage last season.?

Found their website together with a demo video. Looks a basic dirt oval ... dont see any buildings of any description. Like most of the suggested tracks would need £100k plus investment to get it to a speedway track . https://stanstedraceway.com/about-us%2Ftrack-history

Why not bring back Brent Werner and just pay him in bottles of newcy brown lol

I thought 4.80 was his premiership average?

Does anyone know much about Stansted Raceway? Given its proximity to Harlow, Bishops Stortford and within reasonable distance of London, it might be worth the nomad team talking to the owners rather than consider Northampton. At least at Stansted you stand a reasonable chance of attracting ex Rye House, Arena and possibly Peterborough supporters to get their fix in the interim. Just a thought.

Plenty of reasons why he wont be averaging 10.5 I would think 9.5 is more realistic.

Absolutely ,unless they're about to sign the World U21 World Champion, Bartosz Zmarzlik or the best young British Speedway prospect then you'd milk it. I suppose it gets some people get excited though 😕 .

With speedway on its arse at present would any club that signs him really want the possible publicity across the media especially if the nationals pick up on it?

Would having 6 teams, with no lame ducks involved, bring back the possibility of salvaging a tv deal for 2026? The recent 7 team league, aided by the points limit, seemed to create a situation where two teams were basket cases almost from the start. 6 teams with the 37 point limit will hopefully produce better equilibrium. Last season it seemed like Louis and others strong-armed their needs through at the expense of creating two lame ducks, bully for them but it created a league that was a foregone conclusion soon after it began

Luckily we dont care what opposing fans think. Brady will be here and 100% of aces fans will be very happy in deed. Happy new year

No reason why he wouldnt be averaging 10.5 after those six matches.

No. They went behind his back. Probably due tomorrow late payments

Or maybe in his Top Hat?🙃

Belle Vue definitely kept the best team rider in Bewley over Kurtz Kurtz may well be chasing individual glory again and like last season let his club side down which is understandable If I was a Belle Vue fan I wouldn’t want a number one who at the business end of the season doesn’t try

You would think if the Cook rumour is true he would have had some serious conversations with Andrew about commitment. He would certainly be cheaper to employ than the last time he rode as his options are not great. But he has let so many teams down over the last few seasons would you gamble on him ? I still think he could be a top 10 rider in this league but its a big gamble.

The "Superstars" riding over here didn't stop UK rider development... Nor did they implement "Guestfest after Guestfest" as an operating policy... Nor did they let "Doubling Up" evolve into a fundamental key part of the same operating policy .. The promoters chose to ignore UK rider development and instead brought over reserve/second string journeymen from overseas in great numbers. They could have had the "Superstars" and still had a joined up development programme for UK riders..

Must be giving the big bombshell Douglas announcement a chance to reverberate before making any further announcements. I'm not a fan of hype, but it had all the impact of a pint of lukewarm, flat and poorly-kept beer, from both him and the club🤔

No Speedway Star Download Today, 3rd Jan edition ? According to last weeks Speedway Star this weeks editions will be available on 31st Dec, Have e-mailed Speedway Star, No reply, Thanks

Though one did miss a year or two after a further drugs ban. So was O.J. Simpson.

Pickering on an 11.64 really is a bit silly IMO. Messes up the rest of your side. Unless you gamble on strengthening up once his average drops to a realistic figure after 6 ? meetings

Have they chosen the team yet or still finalising it ? Can't understand what all this waiting around for signing announcements is meant to achieve. Just release the full team now if its already been decided.

They paid whatever they paid to clear their names. Those that know the details - and you can always ask Paul Burbage as, AFAIK, he attended every day of the trial - know how and why the jury decided they were not guilty.
