So what did the promotors in the late 90s through till last season do with the tv money?

Are there different threads? If so you could start one on speedway and thus begin the eventual demise of Curling as a credible sport!

Be careful Don't want you spilling the contents of your half empty glass. Speedway fans never stop astounding me, they all want the sport to be massive but there are so many who are always bloody negative. On Facebook the BSN post says details and prices of packages will be available by the end of February, first reply is how much will it cost !!!

Going by what's gone on all winter the clowns in charge probably won't know what they are worth, and will give the rights away 🙃

Great final, was there too on back straight about ten rows from the front opposite the start/finish line. Penhall v Olsen & Knudsen absolute classic races.

PREM 99.99 CHAMP 169.99 Both Combined 249.99

Just out of interest what was the season pass cost in 2025?

Just imagining Drew Kemp competing and pulling up when behind pointing to a mechanical failure on his snowboard!

Fairly sue there was a South Coast junior, Peter Turle, around that time. No recollection of a Paul or a Terle.

Depends how much the rights cost them to aquire now SFL "own" them all of a sudden 🤔

A bit processional.... Although, relay Speedway could work...

I was watching the event where they were outdoors on snowboards on a kind of MotoX track going downhill, it was quite exciting and they were making great use of the drone as well... not just following the rider around at the back!

Yeah, but whoever makes the best start almost always wins…….ah but with speedway……… enjoy your speed skating!

Personally I think BSN have the finger on the pulse regarding how much punters would pay, I'm expecting a similar price for full 40 ish championship meetings like last year and probably around 25 is premiership meetings

Speed skating is everything Speedway should be. I ❤️ it, just watched a great final.

Bullucks...

Peter Turle is credited with riding one match for Rye House at Weymouth in 1984. A previous post on here from 2008 reckoned he was a south coast based junior borrowed by the Rockets as #8. However I have a programme from 20th May 1984 Poole v Swindon Juniors that has a Paul Terle (note spelling) riding in the second half. I also have a programme from 17th June Poole v Exeter Juniors that has a Paul Turle riding at #6 for Exeter. In both instances the name has been written in and not printed in the programme. Both are marked to a high standard, indeed the Swindon one may be a ref's copy as it is signed. Just to throw a further spanner into the works, I have a programme from 8th October at Exeter with a Wessex Junior league match v Poole who have a Paul Turtle listed in their team. The programme isn't marked though. Can anyone clarify this situation? Are Peter and Paul one and the same? Is it Turle. Terle or Turtle?

I’ve often wondered why some dyslexics only seem to struggle with swear words.

Possibly so now ya mentions it, I often post at work whilst looking into, as opposed to at my monitor, to check whether anyone is behind me. I can rarely be bothered researching figures, minutia if you will, always happy to stand corrected. Was at the last Wembley World Final (I Was There) 'The 1981 Bruce Penhall One', not the greatest racing, other than Penhall v Knudsen & Penhall v Olsen, but huge crowd (91,000 apparently) & tremendous atmosphere....

Out of curiosity, I’ve checked to see if there is a Curling Forum…….and there is! Everyone seems to be very polite with nobody moaning about things like surfaces being too slick etc……Just one confused poster complaining that none of the posts have anything to do with hairdressing!

It couldn't sustain a top tier winning team in the mid 90's, with GP's to back up the publicity of the tracks existence... Even less chance of running a team there now, particularly given the changes required to the circuit to fit an air fence, and pits, in...

Bradford Bulls on Sky Sports now, if anyone wants a look at the place

Saw that coming a mile away. Best start applying for loans now folks because I've got a feeling now they've got the exclusive it's going to be big bucks. I for one won't be paying for it if its big money, I'd sooner do without and just watch the GPs.

F'naaar, F'naaar!!!!

If Speedway had a fraction of the coverage that the beeb have given to Curling over the last 2 weeks!!! Literally every time I've switched the TV on somebody has been Curling one out!!!
