I hear Beau Bailey has signed a senior contract for the Danish League ie Wednesdays. Ps. Same as Tobias.

Didn't Leicester ride against Poole a few years ago on SoN night... I vividly remember speeding back from Manchester (at 70mph) to pull them both in. 16th October 2021

NDL next season then.

Has he got the runs

Not what I have heard

Looks like Lawson has gone back for sloppy seconds!

Oh here we go……”I know something you don’t know….na! na! na! na! na!”….🙄

The October averages are out,keep up.

God there is some crazy talk on here Why do people want new blood if the new blood isn’t good enough? Choose Fricke Doyle and Michelsen add them to the 12 and then tell me who will be the bottom 3 or 4 Add in the SGP 2 winner and a couple of young poles and you know they will not be competitive Those saying Doyle doesn’t deserve one should also be saying Fricke and Lambert are lucky to be in…. Doyle missed one and a half GP’s and rode injured for the 2 at Manchester … he only finished 16 behind Lambert and 13 behind Fricke …. And some say he doesn’t deserve it lol

Never done it on 2 wheels, but having raced many shale tracks in a car I can honestly say it was the most enjoyable. Yes it is fast, yes it is narrow, yes it was messy if you got it wrong. But also, yes it was exhilarating, and it gave immense satisfaction when you got it right. I think the problem when it comes to opinions on tracks on here, and this is not meant disrespectfully, but people who have never raced anything will never understand the mindset of a racer. The risk element is part of why you do it and there is a lot of pleasure in conquering that danger.

The only reason the 'other sport' (stock car racing) was kicked out was because they needed a large piece of land for pit space, and with only 3 or 4 meetings a year, a prime piece of land was sitting dormant most of the time. That land is now being used for something to do with solar energy storage, creating an income source 365 days a year. The greyhound side of things is very lucrative, so no the stadium is not under any threat of redevelopment. Therefore, there is no reason to suspect that speedway can't continue there. Just a case of people on here making 2 + 2 = 5.

No, it’s well prepared and on the whole smooth and except for hitting the dirt line is not hard to ride, it’s not technical and doesn’t really have straights and although it’s fast it’s not really difficult to ride at speed but it takes balls to hit the dirt line so close to the fence but as I said they could take away that dirt line but the riders want it

They are out

Is Sheffield sustainable for a new promoter to pay out for?? There's been some very public issues for other sports at the venue in recent history, being kicked out. Are the current promotion aware the stadium owners have other plans for the near future?? Going Down the Coventry route, possibly?? "Money not object" owners, for the whole of Speedway in general, is the only way to save this sport. Every single club that doesn't own their own Arena is at serious serious risk. Isn't Poole also on the chopping block?? One of British Speedway's "richest" clubs?? ____________________________ Year after year we think this sport has possibly hit 'rock bottom' but the bad news just keeps coming. Don't know how it could possibly happen, but we really could do with some of that Middle Eastern Oil money right now.

I have never been in favour of reducing down the standard/quality of anything in an attempt to make it more attractive. It’s an oxymoron. The idea that you can simply share out the likes of Doyle, Sayfutdinov, Bewley, Kurtz, Holder, Fricke, etc, etc across a broader group of teams just doesn’t hold water. The first problem is that it assumes that all clubs in a combined league can afford them which is incredibly unlikely. Even in a 7 team Premiership, it is clear that there are clubs that have deeper pockets than others resulting in a significant gap between them. That problem will just be worse in a combined league as teams choose to ride in the Championship for a reason which surely is primarily a financial one. The second problem is that it assumes that the riders concerned will simply accept that they have to move on to a different team. Some may do, some won’t. Anyway, let’s wait and see what the exciting future looks like.

Matt Ford was someone well ahead of the curve... He realised that he could run 2nd tier Speedway using around three quarters of 1st tier riders... Thus charging less for pretty much the same product... Yet, plenty seem to moan about him....??? Maybe more Matt Ford's and the sport would be far more pro active and successful?

Moving up then.

Enter Terry Russell and Alun Rossiter

Thought Sheffield was the worst though as a fast track for generating speed

Think the team as a whole will look a lot more different from my understanding for 2026, very exciting!

Wouldn’t make any difference to the promotional cost as they are paid by the TV company

Unbelievable yet again, but the rain is scheduled between 1pm and 7pm, with it being at its very worst.....around 3-4pm !! This is now getting bizzarre ! Same forecast each Saturday for last 4 weeks ! I very much doubt this meeting will go ahead.

No. Brands in sporting bodies do not operate in the way you suggest.

He could have claimed it was rubbish as he's only been used to Premiership tracks recently, but he was just being honest having finished on the podium.
