Be aware.... If you want to see practice and the sprint race on Friday you'll need a free ticket: https://mpv.tickets.com/schedule/?agency=BVMS_MPV&orgid=53193#/sales_groups;salesGroupType=ACCOUNT_PROTECTED Also..... Practice starts at 2:00 p.m. but the parking at St Peter's school does not open till 4:30 p.m. I queried this with BV and they recommend the park and ride. They did offer to refund my St Peter's booking.

No its mdf so it will sink

I hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if King's Lynn released Castagna and then Mayfield sign him as a No.6.

I don't disagree with that, but why post about it on an Ipswich thread ? Previous references to him on here have been accusations of him not pulling his weight away from home for Belle Vue and that he has other priorities. All you have done is to back up that theory. 😉

At least the trophy cabinet will float as its never had anything in it.

I’d recommend the Longsite Sports & Social club down the road. There’s a collectors fare on and Lynn & Co will ply you with cheap booze. Plenty of banter with our Polish friends as well plus lots of speedway memorabilia to idle the time away with (mostly Aces based).

We all like to see our favourite riders do well , in whatever league in whatever country I reckon

The ultimate issue was Poland becoming top dog simple as that ,, Hardly any guests are used now in the Top flight these days due to fixed race nights and but it has little effect of improving crowds . So going on about guests is a myth and always has been .

Followed by Middlo, but won’t ride further north than Northampton 😬

That’s fair comment. Can’t argue with that.

And 100% allowed to do so by British Speedway itself...

Followed by Dean Barker and David Norris

Sorry but I disagree with both of you. I’ve been watching Speedway for more years than I care to remember, as have many. I’d like to think I can spot a rider who’s trying hard, but struggling, and one that isn’t. It hasn’t been the lack of scoring from Bangs that has disappointed me so far, it’s been a distinct lack of real effort that to me looks as plain as day. If others want to disagree that’s fine, no problem with that. But nothing will change my mind. Something just hasn’t been right with him right from the get go. Perhaps he’ll return (I’m not convinced) and whatever issues he’s having will be resolved? We can only hope that’s the case

Lewis Bridger next for a comeback?

Would have loved to have been in my 20s in the 70s and known about speedway, all those tracks I could potentially visit, I would have loved to have been able to go to White City, Custom House, Rayleigh and Romford to name four off the top of my head. Lots of of teams, lots of riders, high in quality too, what’s not to love?

Any news about the line-up for the Derbyshire Open on Sunday? I am hoping to stop-by when returning from Manchester and I'd guess I wont be the only one.

What about me?

Rubbish prep

Hey ho hey ho it’s off to speedway we go. At lynn,not.

I would be amazed if he isn't... If one employer paid me ten times what the other did, I too would be exactly the same... Especially in such a dangerous profession, and even more so on the (as Craig Cook put it in last weeks Speedway Star), "always inconsistent" tracks of the UK...

It's either an individual sport or a team sport, can't be both, you can't have Haarland going off every other weekend to try and be Individual World Football Champion. Other sports like F1 for example pretend to be a team sport but the fans don't really care who the constructors champions are, they're only interested in the drivers. I can see Poland breaking away from the FIM and going it alone with Ekstraliga, there's too much money involved not to... Sorry, not really relevant to this thread, hey ho

Need them to stir it

No, but taking 3 laps to go from 1st to last at Owlerton last week was embarassing. It's laughable that Belle Vue fans are crowing about how well Kurtz is riding in Poland. All you are doing is proving that he is far more committed to them than he is to you.

If the Poles could get away it they definitely would... They are paying £500k plus to some riders therefore I can 100% see why they would want to ensure "their riders" only ride for them...

In this future world you predict, would the Polish paymasters ban them from riding in GPs as well ?
