  1. Past hour
  2. 2 of the team not even at 2nd half Midland Development League standard, let alone asking people to pay to watch them at NDL level! Poor from those who run at junior racing at Birmingham.
  3. I have heard that Belle Vue increased admission prices for yesterdays Semi Final Play off match against Ipswich. Can anyone clarify if that is correct and if so why?

  5. Personally I think it’s absolutely ridiculous, no one is coming out of this mess with any credibility, firstly the club (Kent) must have known something , Vinny situation and realised how to spin it to get coops in, Vinny for the obvious but he’s like lots of young riders relying heavily on others to get him there so presumably things happen and was stuff, bspl and bspa, when they make decisions like this they just don’t seem to realise how it looks in the eyes of people looking at speedway as a professional sport, the referee, he’s obviously not double checked it the day before after coops was announced, but finally it is the fans who suffer, Birmingham on the day had to field a team that was half full of lads who were genuinely happy to ride and do their best and yet they still had to have R/R for a rider?? What the fans really want is 7 riders each team, possibly balanced but 7 v 7, this is the start point for most teams and not premier league, god sake just let kids race and get on with it, embarrassing day on top of other days
  6. Not yet ... but it doesnt look too promising with rain forecast tonight / tomorrow.

  8. I don't think the Rugby Club are flush with cash, they seem to think Speedway is noisy though I suspect many of those who make the decisions have no idea what Speedway is (Noisy motorbikes seems to be a generalisation) and the bikers Club having their HQ on site seems to be a little bit of a contradiction, I do believe there are possibilities of staging Speedway at Portway however influential Committee members probably need to be convinced about noise issues, but with the site being next to the M42 planning may be less of an issue than at other sites, parking on site is not an issue and neither is site access, most of the other facilities are already there just needs the track, and someone to sweet talk the Rugby people that the noise is barely more than what can be heard from the motorway traffic. Yes I remember Mike Hailwood being killed down the nearby lanes, I was a delivery driver covering that area at the time, did Mike say it was safer doing Moto GP than riding on roads (riders all go the same way).
  9. Thankfully Cooper Rushen emerged fit and well, god knows the ramifications had he been injured. There is no justifible reason NOT to pay Cooper Rushen, he scored points in good faith, he was in no way at fault and only he had the rides. It does beg the question, who knew what and when? Presumably the Referee , experienced one , asked the question about the dispensation for the Guest and that it complied with the declared 1-7 and advertised team, I can't see how the Referee could be held responsible. The $64,000 question is who is responsible for the fact that VJF could and should have met this commitment and who knew what and when, and if the transport question passes the "sniff test" of credibility? The rider must surely be sanctioned and if Kent management knew in advance that the dispensation for Rushen was not actually valid and failed to tell Rushen, the referee or the BSPL then what sanctions should be applied to them. Or do you spin the coin and say the BSPL should have not assumed kent would change their team and told them that a Guest was no longer applicable. One suspects that had this been a PL or CL match that the BSPL would have been FAR MORE proactive but the fact they don't seem to be merely sums up their complete indifference to the NDL or what ever different bits are now called.
  10. Date changes and confirmation of timings announced.

  11. Today
  12. Emil with even 75% of what was expected of him would have seen an Ipswich victory... Allied to that... Ellis at reserve should be a virtual cheat code, even more so when riding against the bottom three Aces.. And Danny King v Blodorn and Mulford should be a "gimme" for Danny, home or away... So. Given all that. Yes, surprised the Aces won...
  13. The Poles have more meetings for this age group than all the other countries added together - I think it’s just that they don’t buy into this and rather are happy keeping to the old 85, 125 and 250cc standard engine progression.
  14. Hope you didn't have a bet on the KO cup semi final and the BSN semi final 1st legs, all done and dusted
  15. You keep saying you are amazed the Aces won which is absolute tosh You have the world number 2 and 3 who fly at home and although they can score 28 they are usually good for 25 Lidsey and Cook are usually good for 16 between them at home That’s 41 which leaves 3 riders to score 5 between them to win at home I admit that bottom 3 are poor but to say teams should be winning at your track is garbage
  16. When did ‘any other reason’ get removed from the NL facility rulebook?
