Did no one watch this meeting to see the future World Champion at the tender age of 15

Great post. That was the start of a great run for West Ham; Simmons effectively rode as a heatleader for the rest of the season and Tony Clarke was alively presence at reserve, so it was no surprise that the Hammers made a clean sweep of the honours available to them. In the interests of fairness, it should be pointed put that Wimbledon were without Trevor Hedge, so effectively the Hammers were only one heat leader down. Still a great performance, though.

As a lifelong Birmingham supporter, I wish Swindon folk every possible success in their efforts to revive the Robins. I have just been shown a copy of the leaflet beind distributed by the "opposition" and fully agree that it contains a great deal of inaccuracies especially the noise levels ("Can be heard from 10 miles away" "As loud as an aeroplane" etc) which are patently untrue, and which will need to be challenged. I'd suggest forming a group to formulate an alternative leaflet which could contain all the true facts - noise testing will disprove the "excessive noise" claim. Speedway bikes do not use petrol or diesel - they use methanol which is non- polutive, non- toxic and emits no smell. Speedway matches would be limited to once a week starting at 7.30pm and continuing until 10pm with 15 one-minute races of o ly four riders. etc. etc. etc. It will be a mistake to try to belittle what the Nimby's are claiming. We have to remember that the vast majority of the people living within the vicinity of the site will know little or nothing about speedway and will find it difficult to distinguish fact from deliberate fiction. so the more information that they can be provided with. the better the prospect of getting a planning consent. I was heavilly involved with the battle to obtain a planning consent at Birmingham in 2007, and know from experience that the hard core opponents will never see reason, but on the other hand, the majority will tend to be reasonable if they are civilly approached. The very best of luck to you. T

Hope its a good one, it was a draw in the KOC meeting.

Please no one tell them about Workington - who have crowds of about 200 and had to shut their doors a few weeks ago despite being this so-called brilliant track.

Yep...you are in for a treat weather wise. The forecast for Saturday is simply stunning ! Max Temp 21 Degrees. Hopefully you will see a good deal of racing, which many other tracks find difficult to provide ! Enjoy your visit !

Finally found a bet that I like, A Treble @ 7/2 IPSWICH -14.0 (A number of BV riders simply can't ride Foxhall for toffee and I doubt Kurtz will go in Ht 15 when he'll be thinking about hunting down Zmarzlik in the GP's) KING'S LYNN -16.0 (Birmingham are just awful and if they manage to put up 30 Points then they've done well) SHEFFIELD to win.

They took the series to Australia and New Zealand, as well as great stadiums in big cities in Europe..... I think they were better than discovery.

The Klint situation is ridiculous ,pathetic.

Same Start Marshall maybe sporting a new haircut?

Weather looks to be fine and warm on Saturday with a high of 21 degrees at 6pm, hope you enjoy your first visit to Northside .

I'm not a BSI fan (rather the opposite) but BSI/IMG weren't better then what or rather just as bad as Discovery are. DSC had made som minor tweaks but in general the GP circus is stil the same. Don't really understand the love for BSI. They had the rights for ages but hardly changed anything the past 10 years.

Just seen her going into the stadium..

Yesterday's U21 final https://www.facebook.com/100072210395576/videos/3738267153139347

Hang on just seen who the ref is. Call it 27 points, hope bloody turnbull has got her guide dog.

Missing due to illness, 7 day suspension coming then.

Im confident the Brummies can get 30 points. Musielak 15 point max.

Anyone going to Foxhall tonight who could provide updates for the Live Updates team? If so, please contact Lozzzaaadax and/or reply on the Updates thread: https://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/23531/ipswich-belle-premiership-2025-30pm Thanks!

Im looking forward to my first trip to Northside, prefer the earlier start time compared to Derwent Park, just hope the weather keeps behaving. 😉

He's got 3 meetings in 5 days coming up, so I expect management will be keeping a close eye on his performances...

And that could be the problem for Jordan, another off and he's back to square one,going to be a very difficult decision tbh

Jenkins had a mare for Oxford last night away at Poole, 2 falls, a retirement and a third place in front off his team mate so wasn't up to much, haps he's come back to early and ain't fully fit still.

My point was when you have professional company’s trying to get a speedway track open and they ask for facts figures and information for their plans and you try to contact the SCB for said information they don’t answer or reply to calls or emails, I’ve said this before, the sport should have a go to guide/vison/system/manifest or call it what you like that any would be promoter or planner can use to address the councils or company’s working on projects to open or reopen tracks but it doesn’t because it’s a shambles of a sport

He used to read this forum as he got all stroppy years ago when he was Team GB manager. Fans called for his head as we were crap for years when he was GB manager and he came on here and threw a paddy.

Can only see an away win here
