So someone from the testing agency has to be at every single meeting staged, then how do you ensure that 14 riders do their sample without outside influence/tampering? Presumably they need to be held in a zone until all tests are completed etc given speedways facilities I'd imagine that's going to be very difficult.

There's not mandatory testing in boxing either, Matchroom are currently considering it for their fighters/shows, apparently the costs are absolutely astronomical though albeit these are blood tests not just urine. Mandatory testing is beyond the scope of speedway currently, who would pay?

There won't be mandatory testing of every rider at every meeting without a contract with an independent testing agent that would cost far in excess of what would be affordable for the sport Matchroom are currently considering introducing this for all of their fighters using VARDA, the rumours suggest a cost north of 20k per fight although this is bloods not just urine. Does anyone know who carries out the speedway testing currently?

If Bewley returns to BV you might have a shout at getting Tai to do a full season at Lynn Definitely worth an enquiry

If Leicester make it I believe Sheffield could use Doyle in the home leg only -
Was it Stead's idea?

Like you can switch form on and off? Hopefully we'll give a good account of ourselves in the league match at Owlerton a place where we've had our backsides handed to us several times Inc our last play off appearance there -
Does UK speedway need a new televised product?
noaksey replied to truthsayer's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I've absolutely no idea but I'd personally be surprised if Eurosport would be interested in renewing the domestic TV contract when it expires, when is that? This seasons coverage seems to have consisted of the bare minimum with costs having been cut. -
Clubs that own their own tracks
noaksey replied to JamesHarris's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Might have been better saying which clubs own the freehold of their stadium or a lease longer than say 10 years -
Wolves v Sheffield Monday 28th August Live on Eurosport
noaksey replied to racers and royals's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Cup matches aren't televised -
A good way of increasing costs or postponements

So Leicester would pay Batchelor something for each match they ride within 28 days of him being released in addition to the 7 riders they already need to pay?

Last night's programme "It's hard and emotional to accept the harsh reality of no speedway in 2024 but here we are in late August and that prospect looms ominously" 2 October dates added to the fixture list

What's the penalty for pulling out mid season? -
King's Lynn v Ippo 17/08/23
noaksey replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
So you just submit a team that is under that and say anyone else is unavailable? It's not like the BSPL can ring every available rider and check It's simple the fixture goes ahead or Ipswich are awarded the points -

noaksey replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
There can't be. There isn't a definition of competitive/non competitive nor can one be practically written, what's the cut off point? -

Leicester lions 2023 (PREMIERSHIP)
noaksey replied to PhilTheAce's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Comparisons between speedway and football are worthless, speedway teams are built to a points limit so provided you are on or under the limit after the change then what's the issue, some people suggesting that teams should stick with the same riders are often the first to complain and/or stay away when the team is rubbish. We've had several seasons at Wolves where the team required changing but wasn't and the season fizzled out, I'm all for changes. Woffinden for Holder is light years better than guests and r/r
