Manchester GP was a 3 year deal.    So if no GP coleman needs to pay us out of it. 🥳🥳🥳

Well, seeing as the cat is out of the bag I’ll give my opinion. For Belle Vue it is a financial gain as looking at figures of the last few season we have taken a big hit to domestic takings, despite the team success on track. For speedway as a whole it’s a big miss as to not have the worlds best compete on the world best circuit isn’t good. More should have been done to make the finances work with these big events, especially if it means they can take place at the NSS.  For me, is a good few hundred quid moving from speedway to music for next year.

So tonight we get our first indication of who Belle Vue get to drub in the PO Final.  Leicester have new British U19 Champion Jody Scott guesting at reserve for Kyle Howarth whilst Sheffield have Max Fricke guesting at no.1. Despite being a Lions fan I happen to think that Sheffield are probably the only team who might give BV a match in the final.   SHEFFIELD: Max Fricke, Anders Rowe, Chris Holder, Leon Flint, Josh Pickering, Jye Etheridge, Luke Killeen. LEICESTER: Ryan Douglas, Drew Kemp, Sam Masters, Dan Thompson, Nick Morris, Jody Scott, Joe Thompson.

It’s odd that the level of support The Aces get has seen them consistently compete in the highest level of the sport for almost 100 years yet all these other clubs with much better crowds are yo yoing between leagues due to financial constraints.  Truth and opinion can be easily distinguished when doing a cursory fact check of the situation.  As an aside, I’ve said many times that no club can currently crow about their crowds as we are all woeful. Petty biased points scoring is ridiculous given the state of our sport currently.

At first glance it seems a decent idea, but it’s going to end the top flight careers of a lot of riders. Kevin Juhl Pedersen and Jason Edwards for example, are simply not going to be employed by a Premiership club in their 1-5. Maybe, someone might have squeezed them in at reserve, Pedersen particularly if someone built top heavy and needed a 3 pointer.    1-5? No chance. 

This season has been very predictable from the off and as the experts on here correctly state it’s just been a two horse race. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this years KO Cup final between The Aces & the tigers?
