Who was it.

👍 Could all be for nothing with SVEMO's new tyre deal.

Totally agree because in any other job, refusing a reasonable request from your manager is a disciplinary matter.

A new European style track is also being built the USA. Spain might be suitable during the winter, but Spain is a very hot and dry country so perhaps not that suitable to speedway.

Also mentions that a speedway track is being built in Spain, makes perfect sence with the amount of sunny days they have a year, perfect place for European riders to practice out of season.

The state of British speedway nobody is safe imo,poole maybe strong in there own bubble but that could easily burst at any time stadium availability, 1 league, race nights, no one to ride against are just a few reasons why it isn't safe imo.

There was a release last week from Sweden outlining a new deal with Poland allowing Poland, Sweden and one other The UK and Denmark didn't reach any additional agreement

Not just that but I am told got changed before the end of the meeting after a telling off from Stewart who was fuming with his attitude

Sportowefakty article today is mentioning Gillman Speedway in Australia will hold a GP in 2028. What it doesn’t say is if that will finish the 2027 Championship or be start or finish of the 2028 event.

Fair enough, maybe I'm being overly critical. There is nearly always good racing at the NSS, I just thought that there were a few processional ones (especially early on)

As far as I read last week, it is still Poland plus ONE other. If there has been a change to that it has not been made official.

A bit more I expect.

Might be difficult for Woffy to do from Oz

I think you've posted your shopping list by mistake?!

Think Poole 53-55 pts for tomorrow night fairly comfortable win and reckon a small loss away and get through without to much strain.

If my understanding is correct he tried one of his European engines last night and it just didn't work.

Correct. The out of place figure is the VOSDAL (Viewed On Same Day As Live) which is exceptionally high. Says to me that people on holiday were streaming it.

Average income of speedway views would be unattractive to those brands I am afraid.

Not sure all the fans would want to hear it in any case?!

As far as I know, the financial troubles started and ended with Boothby. The speedway itself was always solvent, only impacted by Boothby taking many out of the club. He's no longer involved, with Courtney, Austin and Timmo now at the helm. The speedway side of the business makes money, attracts good crowds and could afford it.... the big IF is how much is now being paid to the stadium owners to be able to operate (without the greyhounds to pay a cut). The Oxford Stadium website seems to suggest positive movements though, posting about a 'new era'... https://oxford-stadium.co.uk/

Someone told me his spokes still need another meet to bed in, brand new last home ride ,ya got to look at the bright side can only get better

Have the recent financial issues been resolved enough to allow that to happen Bojangles ?

Oxford stepping up again? There's no way they will run in three leagues again, but could drop the Championship perhaps? Especially if the Championship is going to be a diluted product. Peter Shroeck has been very vocal about starting to build a team early for 2027...and they only time he's ever mentioned problems with team building before was having limited time to build a Spires team in 2024. Then again, it's Peter Shroeck so I'm not sure reading him is any easier than Dostoevsky.

If that's just the peak, is there not a chance that was because the programme overran and it was people tuning in at 10pm for the EFL highlights?

They know their future is safe.
