Scammers always try to lure the old and mentally disadvantaged, so obviously BSF members are at risk from them..

Are they super absorbent Gem

It’s also worth noting that Robert won races and reached semis in the GP before his crash in the SoN which completely knocked the stuffing out of him, he was never the same after that particularly round the first two bends.

Hi guys, every 3 days we are putting up an Isle of Wight 'Wightlink Warriors' full meeting on our YouTube channel in partnership with the Warriors Club. We have started with their return to the track Press & Practise Day in 2016, the first individual meeting, followed by the second already, and it will continue every 3 days in order of meetings until either speedway resumes or we run out of footage. These are the full meetings. Either check out the Isle of Wight thread on the forum inside National League section, or search for the Speedway Portal channel on YouTube. Other videos are on there also with much more footage planned in the coming weeks from various riders and clubs. And if you like it, why not press the subscribe button and the notification 'bell' by the side of it, that way you will get notified the moment a new video is released in the future, whilst helping us out at the same time.

Phil, Thanks to you and to your editorial staff, for the efforts in keeping going at this extremely challenging time. The sport needs the Speedway Star to survive and we should support and help them to weather this serious storm.

I thought generally he acquitted himself very well before that injury interupted his season.Also it is worth remembering what Tai Woffinden achieved in his maiden GP series he learned alot from that year and came back even stronger.I do think the point made about Robert not quite having the set up aquipment and package yet to be a full time GP rider is right that takes time and money but he will get there eventually.

You can also use your fingers to wipe your bottom when there is not a toilet roll in sight, but a crumpet in your hands is a thing of wonder!

I see that the Principality Stadium is to be set up as a 'Nightingale Hospital' for 2000 patients ... Any pretence that the GP calendar will look anything like that still being envisaged by BSI seems fanciful.

Good meetings on video from Edinburgh and Peterborough this evening with some great races that show why we all love Speedway. Thank you to those who made it possible.

Wouldn't surprise me if Cardiff is the first GP.

Your point about Hancock is a relevant one, in five years time when Lambert is 25/26 he should be reaching his peak.How many of the riders in the GP series now will be either on the slide or have dropped out altogether. So you would think Lambert would be part of new era of GP riders a different ball game to what it is now.

There was an interesting thread on the BSF a while back. It may answer some of your questions...

Honesty Is it a slow newsnight or what? Is me an you the only two Geordies on here tonight Ruff... Ave tried to speed it up then av tried to slow it down.... oh this Whyte & Mackay must have some Bucks Fizz in it... must try and stop doing that... Bored now... Just been turned down from that NHS volunteer scheme - they’ve got enough gynaecologists apparently. . Just waiting to hear back from the breast clinic now... Need to do summat... Regards THJ

Would you like a MASSIF video Blu?

No speedway in the UK until June 15th at the earliest. With so much international travel needed regrettably I cant other countries will start any earlier.

No a think you are right I deffo don't think we were favourites for the wooden spoon either. .. At home we would have put a few of the so called top teams to the sword.... Right this Star Wars movie is doing my nut in av seen it that many times a could star in it...So how about a bit of mischief... just to stir it up a bit... rather than your favourite 7 Diamonds how about your 7 riders you wouldn't want to see riding for Newcastle... 1. Eddie Kennett 2. Gary Havelock 3. Josh Auty 4. Adam Roynon 5. Jordan Frampton 6. Gary Flint 7. Danny Phillips Not thst any of them were bad riders per sey (cough cough) they just didn't seem to perform at Brough... and we once went after Kennett would you believe... Now light blue touch paper and stand well back... May the force be with you... Regards THJ

I hope you put the phone next to the radio with some music playing

Thats no problem nobody gets my last Rolo

I never said they WEREN'T special. Or at least, they COULD be special. Again, looking at it from an event point of view, we were spoiled by Wembley. It seems to be a case of fans looking for different things from speedway. Do you want to go to Wembley with 93,000 others, and experience a poor meeting with maybe one or two decent races, but a fantastic atmosphere. Or do you want to see an incredible GP with breathtaking racing at Wroclaw. Do you want to see a competitive meeting with AT LEAST 12 of the Top 15 riders in the world, or a meeting which was never designed (post-war, anyway) to field the world's best, and was usually missing one or two of the expected front-runners? Nothing is - or ever was - perfect. Yes, I miss the good ol' days. I miss the gleaming chrome and black leathers. I miss Wembley, Wimbledon, and Belle Vue. I miss Moore, Briggs, and Boocock. But you know, it wasn't ALL great. It never will be ALL great. Life changes, and we change. However, speedway can still be the most fantastic sport in the world - if you just sit down and watch the racing...

My memories of Newcastle Speedway would see; Robbie Blackadder David Bargh Rod Hunter Keith Bloxsome Richie Worrall Ashley Morris Ludvig Lindgren most of which developed from reserve, to become decent riders and were entertaining on track. Also at no.8,,, Kevin Macdonald, where we never got to see the potential he had.

Step forward Barry Bishop - kneel and Arise Sir Barry. And onwards to the deserved speedway sainthood status. Please foward some DNA and I will attempt to clone 50 Promoters, who can work together to ensure the speedway racing does survive.

I am a UD Almería season ticket holder and we still have 6 home games to be played! Will these games be played? If not will I get a refund? Who cares? People are dying, people are very ill......there are far too many serious matters to address, rather than speculating about refunds!

I would like to mourn the passing of Stars superfan and season ticket holder - David Mckuen, who passed away last week after a short illness. David was devoted to the Stars and attended every year since they opened ( and also the Linnets football team ). He was a kind and generous man who went out of his way to give me a lift to Stars matches. If you knew him on the first bend terraces, join me in a There You Go friend salute. R.I.P. David. God Bless.

What a stupid plan to come up with at THIS time. Some people really should not be allowed in decision making positions.
