That is the Midland/Northern Development League. It is difficult enough for NL riders to make it to the Championship; your suggestion would make it impossibe.

To be fair to Alfie like all other riders he is free to ask for what he likes and its the promotions job to decide if he's worth that amount. There's a stand off waiting to happen, promotions will have to start saying no but i respect that riders shouldn't have to leave home knowing they will make a loss.

Is it a self imposed regulation that air fences need to be replaced after a set amount of time, rather than the actual condition it is in? Or is the shelf life set by the manufacturer?

I'm still totally devastated he cost the Colts the title .. No idea when it was, or that he even rode for them... But I am truly devastated nevertheless... In fact, I may never get over it ...😁

May have a mysterious van breakdown on way to Berwick or Edinburgh etc 🙃 won't be the 1st one to do so 🤪

Common sense maybe. There haven't been any serious accidents at Foxhall in recent years where the air fence has been a detrimental factor, not to my knowledge anyway.

No idea sorry.

Dont think he said difficult to travel Did he not say didn't like travelling Sure that's what was said when offered berwick place But at end of day it's his choice If he signs then he's decided to travel can't pick and choose which meetings he does

One swallow does not make a summer.

Yes. These are Gaming International's leisure box-ticking proposals for the Abbey - alongside 130 houses (with 8 'affordable') proposed by L&G. The fantasy plans for the "new" facility are still in a "consultation" statua with Wilts Council with no date set for a decision yet.

Mentioned in the Speedway Star a couple of weeks back that the original potential promoter had fallen through because of the the set-up costs that seem to vary between £130,000 - £200,000. So before the SCB could even issue a license it would need work on a pits area, changing rooms for riders, removing obstructions and acquiring a foam safety fence. Although the main suppliers of the foam fence have now gone into liquidation.

If that's the case, Why were Ipswich allowed to race with last season?

So this is a proposal for the development of the old speedway/greyhound stadium? Meanwhile any news on the proposed “new” speedway facility?

Have a look at comets Facebook page and you will see our new reserve coming from the back at Redcar to beat your Mr Rushden with ease 😁🤣

It did yes.

Agree but someone needs to call these idiots out and ask how they can continue to target speedway tracks when I suspect not one has ever been to a meeting or knows anything about the sport. Heads up arses and nothing of any substance but no doubt enough readies to pass a few brown envelopes to local decision makers who bow to the biggest cheque book. No different to any other housing developer, liars, cheats and corrupt businessmen who claim to have the interest of the local community but are only worried about the bottom line. No such thing as affordable housing, it is smoke screen and mirrors or to put it bluntly, most building firms talk utter bollocks to weak councillors who you would not piss on if they were on fire.

Can’t have a track that’s small how ridiculous. Can’t see it materialising

Sent an e mail to these arseholes and have called it as it is. Cannot wait for a reply.

It must be indoor as it has a roof, the straights must at least 10 yards long. it’s the closest Swindon is going to get to having a team, is the cycle speedway track down at the oasis still there.

Wont have any problem passing the worky reserves.

No room for a Speedway Track

Next signing to be announced will be Jaimon Lidsey

Those offering top dollar simply to ride are doing no favours to anyone. Perhaps the NDL should be restricted to standard bikes or e bikes and the next step will be once they have honed there craft they make it to semi professional racing. This should a development league and to make it open to many as possible, costs need to be kept to a minimum so that those who cannot make the grade have not lost an arm and leg in-terms of investment. Entry level costs need to be kept as low as possible to attract the widest possible numbers. Expecting youngsters and the family to splash out thousands to compete is unrealistic but yet again those in charge fail to think outside the box. The sport’s governing body really is run by a selfish bunch who like promoters are all on the take but give very little back in return pretending that they are doing everyone a favour whereas the opposite is true.

Is that the new speedway track by the cricket nets?

Don’t you just hate knowing the bottom side in the league even before a wheels turned. SCUNTHORPE
