No but Jack roberts and Liam Ashcroft were there practicing

Yep and back in the day meetings were held morning afternoon and evening with some real derby matches. As a Hackney supporter in those days I remember travelling to Ipswich in the morning and the return at Hackney in the evening. At Rayleigh you had a morning meeting followed by a return over the weekend with either Canterbury, Eastbourne or Boston. Today you have so few teams you cannot even have a regular weekly meeting and as a sport which should be thriving in the summer months you end up with a calendar devoid of meetings when support should be flocking to tracks and today the lack of ability to capitalise on those months when the sport should be attracting punters is consigned to history. Sadly it is a pale shadow of what used to be such a great bank holiday extravaganza.

Any news on the last rider?

The biggest rivalry in rugby union is Leicester and Northampton. The games can be pretty intense, like it should be.

You'd think that somebody would put something on even if it was NDL 🤷‍♂️

Sure was fresh, but great to see them going around again

Batchelor ?. Thoughts with the good people at Northampton Speedway at this difficult time.

Who says Bowes isn't fit?

Back in the day a decent Good Friday could financially secure the season at Ipswich Often attracted 4,000 plus

A nice peace on cricket from Northampton just aired on BBC Look East. No mention of the Foxes newly assembled team though...

Craig is a type of rider who in the past had done only a little bit of practice, bit like batch 😀 hearing Craig has lost a bit of weight, so good to go, will be fighting Jonas for the number 1 position 😀

29.03.2026: Heats from Slovakian National Championship, Zarnovica: https://youtu.be/NA9EyB8vAQs?si=92nzsKLMAzfvybwi

Hasn't he got to qualify in Australia to get a UK visa ?

Too far away at the moment, but will pay a visit in summer when the Comets come to Poole 😎

In Poland SGP will be live on HBO platform and today there was pretty important news that they will also cover it live on Eurosport 3. I guess it is pretty much the same in UK, as HBO have SGP TV rights and I'm pretty sure they will sell them in some kind of extra package (in Poland it is called HBO Sport with extra subscription).

I really think you are being unkind with your comments 😂. According to the newbies on this forum and those who post once in a generation, you should embrace the situation and be thankful for what the sport offers in this country because these contributors are so right and the likes of the long suffering followers are so wrong and need to dismissed as not following the rules which these members believe are correct and should not be challenged. In the meantime I will stick with the Polish version as I don’t understand the language and therefore the total boll..cks that may have or is being spoken goes right over my head unlike the UK version which needs no translation and leaves no doubt on where the sport stands in the eyes of a few.

Matt has been promised first refusal IF Beau decides to ride in UK!? Maybe 2027 though..

No I think you are right, even when he does feel good to ride he is going to be rusty and months behind other riders which won't help him. Newman will be a stop gap, If I was Matt I would do all I can to get Beau over to UK.

You are ‘flogging a dead horse’ pointing out the obvious and unfortunately the real opportunity to invoke a change came after Covid yet for some unfathomable reason it was a case of ‘as you were’. I am not sure where the sport needs to go to find new impetus but to attract a new audience it needs to embrace technology and start entertaining. It is an exciting form of entertainment that could hit the right notes if marketed but that is probably expecting too much given the governing body. With the cost of living crisis determining the consumer/punter spending it really needs to adapt asap and offer a lot more than a bland format that only diehards appreciate.

To paraphrase the usual answer when you mention Speedway to someone in a town that has their own team.... "Speedway? Is that still starting?"...

I don't think he will ride for Poole this season,never been the same rider since he had a massive crash at Scunthorpe when he was a plymouth rider.

Redcar are decent Team,reserves will be a match for most teams in the the League.They are the key IMO.

Sheffield @3/1 tonight ... Usually a slow start for the Aces and C. Holder was flying at the PCMT...

Having resigned myself to no Speedway coverage on TNT Sport in 2026, I decided to email HBO Max a few days ago who now seem to be in control of TNT Sport in the UK. I asked the question as to why there is to be no Speedway coverage this year, despite the fact we were all sold the idea that "TNT Sport was the home of motorcycle sport" Much to my surprise, I received this interesting answer today. "Hello, We have a good news! Several Speedway events will be available on TNT Sport on HBO Max. Follow us on social media for the newest information and premieres. You can also check Speedway events from your HBO Max account: Currently, only replays from the last year are available, but you will be able to see when a new event is coming up. In case of any additional questions, feel free to contact us again" Now I realise this doesn't really tell us anything, but as this reply came directly from HBO Max, I wonder if something is going on behind the scenes that has yet to be finalised?

I tried to ask some fans about the team but I couldn't find any lol
