Thanks Dave, I did check ebay the other day.. d'oh!

Is he the up n coming Latvian kid that's gonna take Fraser's place?

It's probably not this, but perhaps wishful thinking on my part... Wouldn't it be great if the continued delay is down to the new owners bringing in a big name at number 1 and having to jump through some hurdles (visa, etc) to make it happen before they can announce it... I'll now head of back to cuckoo land....

I think Poole paid him not to sign for Cradley...

So what make you think it's going to be called Northampton?

Jeppesen if the No.6 will make a mockery of his starting GSA so should be in the main body after the first set of averages. Let's just hope that Scotty can at least fill his boots once he drops to reserve on every track against riders like Zischke, Kemp, Etheridge etc.

You Cnut!!

It’s not unfair on the clubs surely, it’s in their interest for them to run (presumably) hence why they are giving it as long as possible for it to come to fruition. If you’re a rider waiting on a new project, surely they would know of any risks or asking ew Northampton questions behind the scenes. As for fans, if they don’t run you haven’t lost anything. It’s the thousands of new Northampton supporters who I feel sorry for. 😉

2025 Regs: 10.2.1 Established MA's "... At the end of each season the BSP LTD will produce a listing of all riders who have competed in British Speedway during that season and following approval and/or amendment at their AGM. The MA’s, excluding bonus points but including other allowances will be the riders MA for the following season. These MA’s will remain affective for team building, team positioning, facilities, until new MA’s become effective. The most recently established MA will be used. If a rider has an established MA in both the Premiership and Championship Leagues, established in the same season, that leagues MA will apply to that league. To be effective 7 days after the last qualifying meeting. Any rider returning to British Speedway on an established MA, achieved prior to 2023 will establish an updated MA after completing 6 applicable meetings. ..." The last paragraph implies that if a rider had an Established MA from 2023 or 2024, it would count. Assuming the 2026 Regs are updated by a year, then Established MAs from 2025 or 2024 would count ... thus Nicholls could be on his 2024 Prem MA ... NB: the grammar and speeling in the Regs is appalling.

You can't make it up. Got an official email off belle Vue yesterday saying tickets going on sale Friday 27th march 😧 got another email today saying sorry we got the date wrong should be 27th February

You will find in most places that still have speedway a lot of people don't know it exists, couple of recent examples, me and a mate went into a pub 1 mile away from belle Vue, near the Holiday inn express, person behind the bar your not local, us, have come down for the speedway just up the road, bar person, I thought that closed down years ago, us, yes 2 venues closed but still going at the national speedway arena, bar person did not know speedway still going. Another example was helping out on a stall at an Xmas event in Workington couple of years ago, giving stickers etc away, man with family said he did not know a new facility had been built for speedway. And the comets lot are quite good trying to promote the sport.

Most likely unheard of and irrelevant to the 1000 asked Much better in reality to be known by all and hated by 500 but loved by 500 Edit - looks likes we can at least still blame the Poles

Definitely that no one has heard of it. I think the only people that knew about it when I was at school was the people I forced to come along with me, most of whom never went again

You can’t beat a good old laugh.unfortunately some folk on here don’t.☹️

Is there a list of previous winners anywhere?

2022 Overall Tobiasz Musielak 9.04 Jack Holder 8.67 Away Tobiasz Musielak 8.42 Jack Holder 7.22

We must surely be approaching the point where they say it's too late to get this done. This waiting isn't fair on the riders, it's not fair on the other clubs who have declared they're running but can't get properly organised, and most importantly it's not fair to the supporters who can't be blamed if they decide that after the farce of this winter it's finally the time to walk away from the sport. I hope Northampton do start. The circumstances in which it happens isn't ideal but it would still be exciting to see a new track enter, and wouldn't it be great if we were all here in 7-8 months time looking back at a successful first season. But you can't keep everyone waiting around forever, there has to be a deadline.

As we sit here twiddling our thumbs I was just reading a pole of the most boring sports in peoples opinion and of 1000 replies nobody said Speedway,now that can be took two ways either nobody finds Speedway boring or nobody finds who voted has heard of it,just for the record, curling and cricket were the most nominated

he also loved a good sense of humour. 🤣

Stifles aspiration, and ambition,and is clearly open to manipulation.. If must be quite annoying for a rider to miss out on a team place by a few decimal points, knowing one of his team mates last year let him finish in front of him, which, ultimately put his average "too high"... Even more so if a "bonus point king" gets the place he could have had!!!

I hate the averages system and also the idea of not having riders as assets. It kills the motivation to develop young riders as if their average gets to high, you have to lose them for nothing or lose another top rider. It also doesn't really keep teams that fair either

Grass track fixtures in this week’s Star for those in the Premiership suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Perhaps one of the grass venues could stage speedway, it might be quicker than Northampton.

Diapers also here ready and waiting
