Yes, any signings had to be made before last week's home meeting against Berwick. Apparently they had someone lined up but couldn't get his visa sorted before the deadline.

I’m not praising BSI I’m just saying discovery are dreadful

While this is true, it really makes little difference who the riders are, yes sayfutinow and laguta should be there and I hope they are back next season if nothing else just to prove they are not the threat to the championship that people think they are, imo they are no better than holder or lindgren who are top riders but never really look like a world champion, yes laguta did it once but he isn’t that rider anymore but he should be there

Less points money for the promotion to pay,win win really 😀

Rubbish. He did very well and was open and frank on here at the time. But a few took it on themselves to insult him and the team so that was that. Led to the dramatic 2004 WC at Poole in front of ten thousand fans and the final heat, where Hans Andersen took it on himself to block Nicholls allowing Peter Karlsson to win it for Sweden. Plus Nicholls IIRC pulled up when a member of the crowd flashed a red light.

Double Ippo to win -14 and Lynn to win -16 @ 3.64 Treble Ippo -14 win, Lynn -16 win, Sheffield to win @4.55 Just a tenner on each. Good luck if having a bet.

But Plymouth keep winning at home. We don’t want to win by too many.

One of the main problems with the SGP is that the line up doesn't contain the best 16 riders in the world...

Did no one watch this meeting to see the future World Champion at the tender age of 15

Great post. That was the start of a great run for West Ham; Simmons effectively rode as a heatleader for the rest of the season and Tony Clarke was alively presence at reserve, so it was no surprise that the Hammers made a clean sweep of the honours available to them. In the interests of fairness, it should be pointed put that Wimbledon were without Trevor Hedge, so effectively the Hammers were only one heat leader down. Still a great performance, though.

As a lifelong Birmingham supporter, I wish Swindon folk every possible success in their efforts to revive the Robins. I have just been shown a copy of the leaflet beind distributed by the "opposition" and fully agree that it contains a great deal of inaccuracies especially the noise levels ("Can be heard from 10 miles away" "As loud as an aeroplane" etc) which are patently untrue, and which will need to be challenged. I'd suggest forming a group to formulate an alternative leaflet which could contain all the true facts - noise testing will disprove the "excessive noise" claim. Speedway bikes do not use petrol or diesel - they use methanol which is non- polutive, non- toxic and emits no smell. Speedway matches would be limited to once a week starting at 7.30pm and continuing until 10pm with 15 one-minute races of o ly four riders. etc. etc. etc. It will be a mistake to try to belittle what the Nimby's are claiming. We have to remember that the vast majority of the people living within the vicinity of the site will know little or nothing about speedway and will find it difficult to distinguish fact from deliberate fiction. so the more information that they can be provided with. the better the prospect of getting a planning consent. I was heavilly involved with the battle to obtain a planning consent at Birmingham in 2007, and know from experience that the hard core opponents will never see reason, but on the other hand, the majority will tend to be reasonable if they are civilly approached. The very best of luck to you. T

Hope its a good one, it was a draw in the KOC meeting.

Please no one tell them about Workington - who have crowds of about 200 and had to shut their doors a few weeks ago despite being this so-called brilliant track.

Yep...you are in for a treat weather wise. The forecast for Saturday is simply stunning ! Max Temp 21 Degrees. Hopefully you will see a good deal of racing, which many other tracks find difficult to provide ! Enjoy your visit !

Finally found a bet that I like, A Treble @ 7/2 IPSWICH -14.0 (A number of BV riders simply can't ride Foxhall for toffee and I doubt Kurtz will go in Ht 15 when he'll be thinking about hunting down Zmarzlik in the GP's) KING'S LYNN -16.0 (Birmingham are just awful and if they manage to put up 30 Points then they've done well) SHEFFIELD to win.

They took the series to Australia and New Zealand, as well as great stadiums in big cities in Europe..... I think they were better than discovery.

The Klint situation is ridiculous ,pathetic.

Same Start Marshall maybe sporting a new haircut?

Weather looks to be fine and warm on Saturday with a high of 21 degrees at 6pm, hope you enjoy your first visit to Northside .

I'm not a BSI fan (rather the opposite) but BSI/IMG weren't better then what or rather just as bad as Discovery are. DSC had made som minor tweaks but in general the GP circus is stil the same. Don't really understand the love for BSI. They had the rights for ages but hardly changed anything the past 10 years.

Just seen her going into the stadium..

Yesterday's U21 final https://www.facebook.com/100072210395576/videos/3738267153139347

Hang on just seen who the ref is. Call it 27 points, hope bloody turnbull has got her guide dog.

Missing due to illness, 7 day suspension coming then.

Im confident the Brummies can get 30 points. Musielak 15 point max.
