Not anymore he ain't 😏

Hawkins IS a good team manager.

It probably is because I don't think it can get much lower than where speedway is now

He's still trying to spit the dummy out 😛

Sam Ermolenko makes Richie Hawkins look like a good TM ..

You said it, it’s no longer relevant..it missed the boat,and is still wide of the mark on most levels, on which this community has mentioned. Unless the whole sport is restructured I see no tangible future, that would obviously include the other federations too, I don’t see how that comes to fruition given the varying levels of infrastructure across the board, let alone anything else, I’m sure it would require a tonne of money, but who is going to provide that and get/expect a ROI in real time.

Absolutely correct, can think of a number of 'senior' riders who were great with the youngsters in recent years, Jon Armstrong especially comes to mind with the 2 you mentioned.

It’s not really hate I don’t think . I think everybody’s opinions come from astonishment, frustration and anger but probably most of all , sadness, at the state our once great and attractive sport has been allowed to decay to this point. Any hate is towards the clowns responsible I reckon. I like your enthusiasm though . Bring on the March ? April? May ? start of the season.

Parker greens booth budd Richardson

Was Cartwright and Janke there then?

was at Bellevue Halifax and Barrow in-between them, and Castleford before Ellesmere port. they were great times enjoyed it all

Pop on youth development section Glasgow shows the way I put a few riders on there

come on lads stop being British speedway haters from this year the only way is up .

Who are these riders who are going to miss out ?

Test match

Hoped they were going to be nicknamed Buxton Bullsh*tters with Laurence Rodgers at the helm

Liked it when you moved from Ellesmere Port to Boston. Great times

Experience means nothing when a rider like Lambert is on a downward slide.

Josh Auty?

Fabulous couple of days at the show,made a couple of pennies and hopefully along Jan staechmann, Aiden and Les Collins Buxton, belle vue and Workington and their stands all got speedway out there. Where were the bspl ? Where were speedway futures ? Where were all the other teams, it’s FREE for clubs to have a stand to 1000s of folks, I despair at this sport at times

Well after much grovelling on my knees to the Buxton promotion today I finally have a position at the club, I’m going to be the mascot, hello MR Bull S**t 😂

JA? You must be Joshing, It's Jon Armstrong. Heard he's having a race-off against Tony Atkin and Gary O'Hare to see who gets the last Buxton spot.

Just 'friend' him on social media. He's keeping as fit as possible and is currently having 'electro-pulse(?)' treatment on his shoulder. Hoping to be ready for April.

My lad gets paid for playing football on Saturdays and on Sundays... Semi pro level on the Saturday and normal Sunday League stuff the next day... The bloke who owns the Semi Pro team runs a Sunday team and pays a few of the lads to play.. There are a couple of other teams on the Sunday who also pay players, with the three teams easily better than the rest... UK Speedway, for me, has a similar vibe to it... Many benefactors who are quite happy running it as a hobby they can afford, and, with no real kudos, publicity, or financial rewards for winning, meaning, its more of an enjoyable labour of love, rather than a bona fide sporting occasion that they present... And, given the lack of authenticity as a team sport that Speedway in the UK has, you can see why many are quite happy to never change things...

I would think they have contacted a possible replacement and have a plan in place.
