  1. Past hour
  2. My record this year: Klint testimonial- racing curtailed Lynn home meeting - off because it might rain. Young Stars off - air fence did a runner Lynn v Northampton-dreadful in terms of racing Y Stars - off. Track staff ill. My patience has been sorely tried. 8 hrs round trip but I stay in hotel and hope for seeing two meetings in 3 days. I have scrubbed Young Stars from now on. Been had twice - there won’t be a third time. As to next year, there needs to be big changes for me to spend the money I have this year for little return.
  3. Fact or gossip ? The latest accounts published on companies house (up to September 2025) show an improved financial position compared to the previous year.
  4. But. It’s not just Poland but also Sweden, Czech & Denmark that riders who ride in the UK also race. So to go to one uk league with meetings throughout the week would mean all those riders giving uk a miss. The consequence being The number of riders available including NDL would be circa forty ie enough for six or seven teams for the whole of the Uk meaning a massive dilution of the sport.
  5. No he can’t. However he is on an upward trend performance wise and it won’t be long before he moves on from being an unused sub.
  6. Today
  7. You know I wouldn’t mind a cuppa. No sugar please. I take it like I take my women. BLACK AND HOT.
  8. It was only suggested he might be a good signing IF Riss returns to Oxford.
  9. Yesterday
  10. New signing for Poole to replace Bowes 😜🤣
  11. He had a bad crash at Glasgow on Saturday hit the fence coming out the 2nd bend and missed the air fence and ended up on hospital for 3 nights totally wrecked his bike think he could be out for a few weeks too
  12. The engine room pairing of Howarth and R/R looks vulnerable. Kemp is going to really have to be on it as he will be getting at least six rides. Keeping Dan T at No.2 is baffling and upsets the team balance. I know the Douglas/Dan T pairing will deliver points but that is likely to be offset by the points return from the middle order combination.
  13. I was chatting with a once die hard supporter yesterday.He now visits occasionally and was stunned that it cost him £75 to get in to lynn with his 2 teenage kids to watch the tractors do more laps than the bikes.Say no more. Its just not value for money. Add in a drink each and a program and you've got bugger all change left from £100.
  14. Never said he couldn't. I was questioning others saying it was a signing. You totally missed the point as per.
  15. The kicker on here is if I had gone on about free tickets that have been and are given out or discounted offers, all of which haven’t worked in the long term, someone would have replied with, “why don’t you try leaflets”? Maybe we should let everyone in for nowt like Lakeside did as that ended well. With regards the emails to the fan base, they have gone out to drum up business for Sunday as they often do and around 100 posts a month go on facebook and are duplicated on other platforms. My opinion is that most people think speedway as a regular biweekly event is a no go but a bank holiday speed fest is fine. Mondays meeting was boring and the dust wasn’t great so any newbies there would be unlikely to return. This happens occasionally and if you’re not hooked then it’s easy to give up as most people now enjoy staying in. It’s comfortable, the food & booze is cheap and the travel time to bed is hard to beat. If we could have plugged ourselves into social media or 100’s of TV channels in the 70’s & 80’s then we would have done so with the only pull being a special one off event coming to town every now an then.
  16. He can guest at Worky on Saturday and at Poole next Wednesday if required.
  17. Can see Fricke scoring big here in a tight battle
  18. Your right. Unless Riss is returning and that’s freed him up
