    Belle Vue Aces 2020

    Forgive me asking but once the stream is live do I access it via the BV website or via You Tube? (I've paid my fee!) (Just trying to make sure I get to see it!)

    Belle Vue Aces 2020

    Perhaps someone could answer this question for me? Surely there must be a limit imposed on crowd numbers for any event at present? With the grandstand seating already completely sold out for the SON how will that work? Not to mention all the tickets already sold for the back straight standing. If permission has been given for unlimited attendance then I withdraw my query, but I haven't seen that announced anywhere.

    SON 2020

    Thank you Philip. I must have missed that announcement. (And me a lifetime subscriber to the Star!!)

    SON 2020

    Call me a pessimist but I can't see the SON going ahead at Belle Vue. I appreciate that it's a while away but things will have to change dramatically before a sold out grandstand (to say nothing of the standing area) could be tolerated in this country. (And my family and I have three tickets pinned to my board at home)

    Season Cancelled

    Aces statement: Regrettably, this means that the Belle Vue Aces will not take part in league racing this season and therefore, following today’s announcement, we will review other options to stage speedway at the National Speedway Stadium in 2020. A further announcement on this and the National Development League will be made as soon as possible. This is disappointing news for everyone involved in Speedway but despite giving every opportunity to stage league racing this season, the timescales for Covid-19 restrictions to be lifted have beaten us. The National Speedway Stadium staging of the FIM Speedway of Nations final on the 24th and 25th October remains unaffected by today’s BSP Ltd announcement.

    Cardiff 2020

    I am in the dark as much as anyone regarding the chance of the Principality Stadium being available later in the season. BUT.............this link gives some idea of what is going on there at present. (A few weeks ago). https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/inside-new-ward-covid-19-18085716 Apologies if this has been posted previously but it seems some on this site are unaware?

    NEW LOOK FOR STAR

    No question.................... got to keep supporting the Star! My immediate family have three subscriptions and can't imagine life without the Star. Keep up the excellent work!
  10. My memories of Kelly (after he finished riding) relate to a 'meet Kelly' evening in a Buxton hotel. We had to wait a while but Kelly then appeared. Part way through his interview he decided to call his brother Shawn in California. He 'borrowed' a mobile phone from someone in the room (I think it was someone connected to the Sheffield promotion) and suddenly it was a three way show. It was a great evening but I often wonder what the size of the phone bill was.

    NEW LOOK FOR STAR

    The DVD is available from http://www.classicspeedwayvideos.com/ (Jan Staechmann's online shop) It is in Danish but has English sub titles. It's a great watch.

    Glasgow 2021

    There is a feature on Sam Norris in this week's Speedway Star that really brings home what he and the family have gone through. Altogether a positive piece of reporting but also a detailed reflection on Sam's injuries and the difficult stages of his recovery.

    Speedway Star

    Just want to agree 100% with this post. The 'Star' is the speedway bible. And the only publication that represents OUR sport. It is inevitable that casual sales through supermarkets etc. will decline as people prioritise food purchases at this difficult time. If your finances allow please consider a subscription. PS: I'm not a 'Star' employee, just a long time subscriber.

    Corona virus

    And are these oldies the same oldies who are expected to care for grand-kids when the government closes the schools?
