Do you know how far ahead of time other sports announce their fixtures? Although the speedway season 'can' start on 15 March it is really into April before the real start now. 6-8 weeks ahead is normal for many other sports leagues. Premier League football is about 8 weeks. Superleague Basketball was less than 1 month this season. The PREM was about 8 weeks. Scottish Premiership about 5 weeks. EFL about 6 weeks. Easy to take an unfounded pop at speedway.

Not if you keep people waiting 30mins after start time before parade never ming ht1 like a lot of time in speedway

Line up for Varkaus in Finland on 21 February:

6pm Wednesday night 😉

Sorry did not know that. I will have it redacted straight away. I knew my advisers would let me down but I listened anyway. Should I resign now or after the signing tonight. Replies on a post card please as I don’t do emails or WhatsApp. (Other messaging services are available)

Sunset time 7.34 beginning of April 8.15 end of April, so if floodlights are not available theirs a fighting chance to get a meeting over before it goes dark, can't be any worse than lights at some tracks 😛

Yes. How did you know? That part was meant to be kept secret till after the staff signing tonight.

While it is good that clubs have Reserved dates for the BSN and KO Cup finals, it's less clear when the semi finals may be, much less any rain offs.

And don’t tell us but a certain Mr Godfrey will be team manager and he has managed to get concessions from Polish authorities to ride most home matches on a Sunday providing those matches take place between October and March which would work as most teams do not seem to like riding matches in the summer months.

If you do the math and realise she’ll want 8 female riders of an Afro Caribbean/ Africa ethnicity in her team , she probably wouldn’t make a fist of it at all.

and if you build it up, likely it will be anti-climatic Not sure any of the thinking is actually joined up ?

Aa a pundit she was/is an absolute "crock of...." Didn't deserve both barrels from Barton but certainly didn't deserve new contracts either

And the award for the most ridiculous post of the day goes to...🤡🤡🤡

Not really sure why you picked Eni Aluko as an example. The way she and others were slandered, bullied, etc by Barton was an absolute disgrace. She would probably make as good a fist of it as some of the TM’s over the years.

I think the new owners are building up the suspense because they have managed to sign up a real blockbuster team, bringing back Doyle and Sayfutdinov, backed up by Lindgren, Robert Lambert, Zmarzlik, Lebedevs with Tai Woffinden as rising star. The 37 points limit was waived….or else! As the new owners said.

the guy is a complete idiot, wouldnt worry about it.

I’ve taken the view throughout that completing the sale of a business takes time and that the formal confirmation/announcement will be made whenever that process is complete. However…..it is getting a bit strange now, particularly in the context of this evening’s little soirée.

In all seriousness Buttons makes a good point. Someone official has to be there don’t they? It’s all getting a bit bizarre

Perhaps the signing on night will be rained off, in the interests of speedway?

Worked for Poole as Starke upped his average. I'd have Lambert ahead of Starke, got a higher average, spending at least half the season in the top 5, compared to Starke at reserve all year. I wasn't impressed with Lambert when I saw him last year, but his average is attractive enough to give him a chance to show last year was a one-off poor season?

Perhaps the announcement is going to be at the staff sign up and will be posted around 7ish?

Bit more work on the track to do yet.

Eni Aluko being announced as the new Team Manager would sum this entire winter up.

Well hopefully someone who is attending can find out what the hell is going on and then let us know!
