Brilliant news. I haven't look forward to the start of the season so much since I was a kid watching Exeter in the 70's !! Like many I've found the events of this winter shall we say tiresome?!! In fact earlier today a colleague burst out laughing when I tried to explain what had been going on at Elite level! But thanks to Chris Kevin and Michael I won't be turning my back on speedway for a second time...I'll be looking forward to seeing speedway as it should be, providing entertainment and discovering the kids that will secure the sport's future..West Row here I come !!

Nice to see a good write up in the Sunday Times today about last night's superb British GP...it has raised a question though...it described the crowd as a disappointing 32,000 yet the BSPA website says it was a record crowd of 44,150. I must admit watching last night I didn't think the numbers was as high as I've seen before,but difficult to tell when you're watching on TV. So purely out of personal interest, not to make an issue out of it, I wondered if anyone who was lucky enough to go could shed any light on how many people were actually there...however many it was they had a great night and the atmosphere sounded fantastic!!

I just wanted to put a note on the forum wishing everyone the best of luck with Sunday's meeting. Sadly I can't make it, but I sincerely hope a big crowd turns out for this more than worthy cause. Having read the pieces in this week's Star with Wilko Garry Stead and Lol Hare, I feel truly humbled and moved, that guys like them who've paid such a price to entertain us still bear no grudge towards the sport we all love. I know it's an old chestnut, and I would never want to stifle debate and opinion on a forum like this, but maybe sometimes before people bicker and snipe at each other and at some riders we could stop and remember what these guys risk to entertain us and keep our great sport alive. End of sermon maybe I'm turning into the priest my mum would have loved me to be !!! PS: Can i resist the lure of King's Lynn/Ipswich and wait for the mighty Bog Moggies to start on April 12th could be difficult starting to twitch a bit ..... !!!

Couldn't agree more !! Is it any wonder I find it impossible to convince my media colleagues to take speedway seriously when a piece of nonsense like this happens?? In many ways it's a story in itself 'heard the one about the speedway rider selected to represent a club he's not allowed to ride for' you couldn't make it up, you really couldn't unless of course you are the BSPA
