Dont sit on the fence say who u mean!

Well, not exactly “done the time” as he’s back out on licence. And, from the quotes from the SS article, he’s now changed the story of his offences. Anyway, I’m sure some well meaning team will take him on, maybe one known for unusual signings, who are rumoured to be signing another rider with a tortured past?

I cant comment on this. Seen it live but they didnt show a replay. Just looked like an unfortunate racing collision. Tate was going on the outside of him and they unfortunately got tangled up

If confirmed then its a 6-week recovery period, so plenty of time for the 2026 season - unless a returning-to-UK Matt Ford has other ideas?!😀

I could be wrong but im not so sure about the broken collarbone. I watched it and after the collision he was on camera in the pits undressing himself, taking his protective vest off, etc. I dont think youd be in any position to do that with a broken collarbone. Could be wrong though.

He has a point also though. Bewley was clearly taken by what he saw at Ipswich that night and quite clearly hasn’t witnessed anything remotely close at the NSS!

Dudek maybe? There's been talk of him coming over for the last couple of seasons... ain't cheap though

well he admitted it at the time according to this news story https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=9f17f7f72e5388927d01860a4b6bceed086006e2714417bc9bc0e05c378148d2JmltdHM9MTc2Njc5MzYwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=2a644605-34db-6036-27c0-534e353b6147&psq=jason+garrity&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGFpbHlzdGFyLmNvLnVrL3Nwb3J0L21vdG9yc3BvcnQvc3BlZWR3YXktamFzb24tZ2Fycml0eS1qYWlsZWQtcm9iYmVyeS0yMjg4MDgxMQ

Even if the stadium was still available at Perry Bar it surely was only a matter of time before Nigel Tolley got fed up with/ couldn't afford to keep s@unking hundreds of thousands of pounds propping up the Brummies? Newcastle closed because a very weak team was attracting poor crowds so the promotor Rob Grant Jnr pulled the plug. Grant was handicapped when he bought Newcastle speedway cause the previous promotion apparently left a large unpaid VAT Bill which he knew nothing of beforehand. This combined with Grants insistence on pushing people away who could have helped him to make the venture viable resulted with the sad end result of closure. - Without Newcastle operating this increases the possibility that a speedway team at Bolden, Sunderland could be viable but the having same stadium owners who own Brough Park renders this very unlikely. Isn't there another greyhound track not that far away from the Sunderland area or has that now closed? The new owners of Sittingbourne's Central Park stadium promised previous owner Roger Cearns that they would accommodate speedway and not make it unviable for any speedway promotion to continue running. A huge rental hike broke all these promises and a very well appointed stadium in an area that supported speedway in good numbers was lost to the sport. Nottingham Greyhound stadium remains the most likely venue for a speedway revival in that part of the East Midlands other than a building a brand new stadium, though as a previous poster suggests, it'd take a very brave rich person to open a speedway track in the UK in current times.

I think Dan knew riding at Foxhall as a home track would only regress his career... Like it has Jason Doyle's...

Very good performance by our Tate in the Phil Crump Comp finishing 4th behind Lidsey, Becker and Tungate. Some very good riding throughout and was involved in an unfortunate collision with Bowes, leading to Bowes exclusion.

Looked like his own fault

Think you missed his point 🤣🤣 think you need to get to bed and wake up again. Your having a right mare today

Just quoting what he said in the star he says there was nobody in any off the houses

I mean he didn't drive 5 hours to watch you. But if that makes you feel better about yourself. Then carry on

Fraser Bowes away to hospital, suspected broken collar bone, from live BSN Phil Crump classic meeting

Who are owned by the brothers unless they have sold it on..

But in such a cut-throat league as the one we could have in 2026, with 5 teams and the 37 points limit, there will be a premium on riders able to increase their CMA's, even by small amounts. Fricke could increase his average, but not by much. Kurtz on the other hand could put a point or more on his, a huge advantage to whichever team he's with. Likewise Doyle, if he changes his mind about doing UK league. Could Dougie push his average up? Hope im wrong but I doubt it. Dan Thompson definitely should, Masters maybe by half a point.

And a full stadium to race in front of, wages on time, lots of meetings, trophies and a feel good factor. The track comments are valid as it leaves a fair bit to be desired but everything else is really attractive for a rider to sign for them if approached.

This is the last one he sent us, as I said before I don’t know what counts as a view and I assume it’s over all platforms

OK I see your point.

Get him to screen shot it and then you can post it on here as confirmation 😁 great news if that is true as we all want the sport to go to as many people as possible but they are large numbers to quote with no backing, I’d love to stand corrected though!

True! You’ll have to finish higher in the league next time if you want to celebrate at home I guess 😉 Nice of Dan to drive 5 hours to celebrate with us though 👏🏻 top guy!

I’d say that’s more a dig at Sheffield & Leicester, given that was where we won the last two of our fourteen championship titles.

You can't see why anyone would open a track these days given the massive costs to open it and then run it, and the lack of public interest in Speedway.. Maybe a "Buxton" could work at NDL level with 300 or so fans per week, and it got ran very much as a development team, with rider costs reflecting that... Renting tracks is now very much fraught with the threat of closure, even if you are doing well, which also means those who own their own stadiums have an ever dwindling offering to their own spectators as these tracks close... A five team league anyone?... It will be great I am sure.....
