Gorzow city have agreed to become the guarantor of the loan. The club will receive a licence to operate under for the 2026 season as an Ekstraliga team. Official statements will be released in the coming weeks.

Glasgow only recently uprated their air fence to accommodate the FIM they had last year was it? Might even have been this year, I can’t remember. I deffo saw an interview saying they had to pay thousands to update it to comply with regs, Ipswich would be the same. I’ve heard Chris Louis speak on how expensive the FIM uprated air fences are.

Hopefully, none of the spectators were seriously hurt. It was an awful crash. From what the ref was saying it goes to a ballot. This might change of course with further investigation.

For stox the speedway fence is removed - on that basis for a GP would it be possible to lay a temporary track incorporating some of both circuits to provide a larger speedway track closer to the fans? Whats the issue with the air fence? Isn’t it the case that all UK tracks have to comply with FIM regs?

The air fence isn’t that’s for sure. I know it’d be a fair few thousand to bring that up to the FIM standard.

"In no particular order" should be understood to mean any heat advantage, no matter the value. That's 8-7 in favour of Redcar.

This incident will have massive repercussions at a tough time for the sport. More costs incoming...

Is the track FIM standard if it is the capacity is enough to hold a GP given the size of some recent venues.

It's my thoughts only, nothing at all to suggest it will happen. As @SteelShoe says, if it was financially viable and well sponsored it would only add to the fablous product we have at Northside.

Will be giving this a listen. We had Nigel on a podcast we did, funnily enough, and he was a good listen. Proper speedway man. Always enjoy your posts on here, Deano, and I'm sure Robbo is equally good value!

Isn't he still injured? As Redcar were gonna use him at Poole last week.

But that Poole meeting was already scheduled before he agreed to ride at Foxhall so it makes no sense?

I agree Ipswich could host a GP. It's not as cut off as some stadiums in the series and has the capacity and logistics to host one. The only issue is the track.

Told to by Poole probably.

Wonder why will cairns pulled out?

Yes I am sure Anders will be fine, not do sure about Hodder, Glasgow guest needed probably Daryl Ritchings unfortunately for Poole.

How are people saying Ipswich is hard to get to but Malilia was on the SGP calendar 😂 that’s the worst place I’ve ever visited to get to. Foxhall you can get buses from the town centre and super easy to drive to. The surrounding area is so big you could have a massive car park and the SGP set up (DJ etc) on it, and probably create a better atmosphere than most other stadiums that just have it in a small location near the stadium. Ipswich would be accessible for all of east Anglia and London, and do Manchester for anyone midlands up. The only problem with Ipswich is the stock car track and not a real sense of being right next to the action. Apart from that, I think Thursday night showed how well you can hold an event, even with the pyros. Chris Louis would know how to hold a SGP event that’s for sure! I would say it’s about 1% chance of happening by though as they would have to clear it with locals, and spedeworth and also foot the 6 figure costing to SGP. But… pack out a 10,000 event at £50 a pop and you could make it profitable.

And your point is? It didn't affect tonights meeting.

I'm all for new clubs but would be very surprised if a new club came straight in at Premiership level. Yeah I did misunderstand re National League. Would be nice to have a NDL team in addition to a Championship side but only if it was fully costed and didn't jeopardise the financial viability of the club.

Had a superheat written all over it. Was a good meeting tonight fingers crossed for everyone affected in Heat 14

I know it's only a fun meeting but they seem to have got the Groups a bit lop sided. Summers and Loftus both have higher averages in the NDL then Etherington and Vale it would have been fairer to swap those around.

Had food poisoning apparently

Thank god for that, at least there won't be pages of weather reports 😂

Anders should be fine after a bit of massage on his groin injury!!!!🙄

That individual is a real pain and is doing the cause no favours at all, he is best just ignored and just hope he doesn’t do any damage
