    Another Speedway Closes

    In his book Harry Findlay said he paid 1.5m for the lease to run greyhounds there and lost the lost. He also said he could have bought Brandon Stadium at the same time for £2m

    The Ochiltree's also sold Leicester speedway for development previously

    Wimbledon Memories

    I was there that night. Certainly had the crowd on their feet

    Ipswich 2019

    Look up Mike Parker then I think at one time he was involved with 13 clubs and without him there would probably be no speedway in this country today

    Wimbledon Memories

    They are not landlords at Foxhall Stadium they have a lease there Foxhall Stadium is owned by Ipswich Speedway Limited

    Wimbledon Memories

    Quite an easy answer to that which is a Speedway meeting is much, much dearer to put on the a stock car meeting.

    Why are Ipswich doomed when they have not even announced their team yet O ye of little faith

    I just wonder is Tai would have would have got more of a mentioned if he was not bedecked in tattoos and looked a bit more like Bruce Pennell

    Kings Lynn 2019

    Looks like Kings Lynn will be the weakest of the three East Anglian teams

    I would think you would need at least 5,000 punters to pay for those three

    Great night for betting though-the night most bookmakers stopped betting on non televised meetings

    The speedway track was Walthamstow

    Barry Hearn and 'player power'

    Where do you get your information from . Professional tennis has never been run by the players so why print such rubbish

    Please can we have no more postings about Jarek Hampel coming back to Ipswich as it is never going to happen

    Ipswich 2019

    There are many promoters in Speedway that have run more than one club at the same time and have done well

    Betting in 2018

    I too have gone for Somerser @1 85 with 10.5 start. Possibly Robert Lambert and Jason Doyle scores will cancel each other out and Somerset reserves look much stronger For individual scores Jason Doyle looks good at +2 Against Robert Lambert on 365 @ 5/6 or you could take Robert Lambert @ 1.97 off scratch with Betsafe but sadly they will not take a lumpy bet on this

    Tai Woffinden Best Ever!?

    But he had qualifying rounds at Belle Vue and West Ham (Which he also won) to get to Wembley in 1950

    Tai Woffinden Best Ever!?

    Under the old World Championship the most successful rider was Freddie Williams with two world championships and one runner's up. But then it was open to all riders and not like today when it is only a few are allowed to enter

    Betting in 2018

    Something is jumping out for me is the lack on Bookmakers laying odds on tonight's meetings. Must be first time William have not put up odds for a live league match. Betfair who make a market on nearly anything have not laid anything since the first GP. So a big night for British Speedway and we have 5 bookmakers laying odds .There will be either none or only Bet 365 next year
  24. Hats off to Max Fricke, Colin Cook , Jason Doyle and Jack Holder and also the track curator Has there ever been a race without a crash that all four riders have led at anyone time. Any other races to rival this

    Swindon 2019
