Hadn't heard about this podcast, have downloaded all episodes and will give them a listen this week 👍

IF Bewley did move (don't see it personally if he's getting a testimonial) then it might not be anything to do with the track but simply the need for a fresh challenge and a change of club, sometimes that can be good for a sportsperson or what they feel they need.

Spot on lol … he wasn’t talking about the construction he was talking about the support and was around at the end chatting to all fans

You clearly are a guy with serious issues regarding Ipswich and ‘poaching riders’ let me put your hat on straight buddy Doyle… signed after Swindon closed .. you could have signed him Ellis… signed after Sheffield SACKED him … not poached … SACKED King.. Mr Ipswich Emil…. wasn’t signed from a British club … again Belie Vue could have got him Brennan… ah yes let go by erm Belle Vue who didn’t want to keep a promising young Brit and thought Blodorn would be a better option lol… had Isaias Birmingham Dan Thompson… was SACKED by Leicester… not poached..Sacked Your vendetta against who Ipswich have signed is borderline pathetic and wrong in every sense .. we have built this team and not poached anyone Any club could have signed Ellis or Thompson but didn’t and the stupidity of letting Brennan go when he was at Belle Vue was shown up massively this season when Belle Vue have riders like Blodorn and Cook who look like amateurs away from the NSS I don’t expect Bewley to leave but maybe just maybe he wants a challenge … wants to ride on a more challenging track that can help him develop more … he has big fast tracks in Poland and Ipswich can help him learn a tougher track If Bewley ever did move to Ipswich he knows how well the club is run and supported… arguably the best run and most supported club in the UK He always says how much he loves riding Ipswich ….. Ipswich don’t need to poach riders …. Riders want to come to us because of how the club is run Now run along and see if your club decide to sign riders who can ride away from home …. Maybe someone like a Tom Brennan??

I don't think of Nagel as a particularly good gater, but he's aggressive, perhaps a tad too much sometimes.

8 day rule doesn’t apply in the playoffs, so he is available to ride tomorrow, if he had ridden last night then he would of been unavailable tomorrow

You've proved my point. Speedway (and the others you mentioned) were not viable, hence they chose to redevelop the site. Wimbledon previously closed in 1991 for exactly the same reason. And both 1991 and 2005 were periods when Speedway was in better shape than it is now! There is absolutely NO chance of Wimbledon, Coventry, Swindon, or any other closed tracks being revived and the sooner these campaigners open their eyes and get on with their lives, tbe better. Everyone is getting excited about Buxton - that won't last the season for exactly the same reason. Speedway. Is. Not. Viable.

Any one else notice how many were using the outside on 3rd/4th bends something that has been missing most of season Love 250 racing so close and competitive Every rider in 500 and 250 class was on pace Some very good tidy 125 racers also Youth class really is good to watch if I'd have paid £30 for that I'd still be happy Track held up really well last track grade during heats spoiled last round it changed the track

Well he clearly wasn’t just talking about the podium they were standing on was he 🙄 it’s obvious he was talking about the supporters and the atmosphere around it. They weren’t supplied by British Speedway.

A small town in Northamptonshire!

Spellchecker is a pain

Yes I did think that maybe BSN series has a different rule.

.

I don't understand it either, unless because it's a different competition the 8-days doesn't apply?

Chris Louis was one of those. He admitted he had opportunities to leave Ipswich back in the day and should have moved to a bigger track for the benefit of his career. He just couldn’t bring himself to leave his hometown club that he loved.

In your opinion it’s nonsense, in MY opinion, it isn’t. As I said, we’ll agree to disagree. There’s been far too many riders over the years to mention that have come out and said riding different size tracks was good for their careers and improved them as riders. Moving from the NSS would be a breath of fresh air for him. You disagree because you see him as a Belle Vue rider and nothing else and don’t want him to move.

Can someone explain how Jake Allen can ride for Redcar tomorrow when he rode last Sunday, doesnt the 8 day rule apply?

Soon to be “hard at work building another winning team”. Winning it is one thing, always that bit harder to retain it the following year as you have to weaken the side, or pretty much start from scratch and build something completely new. We’ll be there or thereabouts though I’m sure.

I disagree its nonsense hence the best riders in the world ride Poland. Bewley has areas to improve none of them are to do with riding tiny tracks. Unless Ipswich are going to get a GP, which they won't.

Big mistake if there are and even more so if it’s two over the same weekend which is just not required. If there is to be 2 UK GPs they could do a lot worse, all things considered than giving Ipswich a go which would attract a larger attendance than Manchester at a greater lower cost to provide thus an opportunity for reasonable admission prices.

What an absolutely cracking meeting, those young boys really put on a show well done to them all. Feel for Vinnie tonight he didn't deserve that twist of fate. Big well done to Luke Harrison who kind of won it without being noticed too much. Shame the track had dried late on in the meeting which somewhat negated the effectiveness of the outside which had been working well earlier.

think he blew an engine Neila. I was absolutely gutted for him. After working his way through from 4th to 1st he was cruelly denied the championship with a mechanical issue.

Think Loftus is one to watch for the future.Has come on a lot in 1/2 a season

For Poole I’ll be wanting at least 12 points. Anything less than 10 I wouldn’t fancy our chances. 16 and higher I’d be confident. I don’t think they had Nagel in either of our meetings at their place? He rides their place like a heat leader.
