I'm afraid you are not going to get a new speedway stadium in the West Midlands conurbation area, there is simply not space for it unless an old disused factory site is used.  Cradley are looking at somewhere in green space in Worcestershire, Wolves I'd imagine would have to do the same in South Staffs, by the i54 seems the most likely. Coventry have a chance as Brandon Stadium comes under Rugby Council who are supporting them.

without pointing fingers or blaming anyone jn particular british speedway as a whole should hang their heads in shame that this fixture should be going ahead with two riders elsewhere  an absolute joke, guests are a cancer of our sport  if this is the best they can do then decide the title by league position 

I don’t believe that, British speedway does have a place in modern society it just we don’t see it and we apologise and make excuses for what we can’t achieve and never think what we can achieve and that in the main is down to the personal running the sport, something that really gets me at the moment and I’ve spoken to a lot of people within the sport about this is not one person has a vison of where do we go from here ? Yes there is a plaster here and a bandage there but nobody has a plan or a vison or anything of any hope and that really bothers me 

I’m not saying it’s not the same sport etc it’s about pulling power and usually it’s younger fans into the 20/30 year old, you quote football clubs average 10,000? Christ that’s a league one attendances, united have 75,000, city 55,000, they have world wide fan base and kids know the players, speedway in Britain is trying to complete locally with that and kids are going to follow their friends and want a footy shirt etc not a BV or whoever top, it’s just how it is, speedway can try everything it can but modern life has changed and speedway unfortunately has been left behind 

Well we seem to be stuck in limbo with the weather, all very frustrating as we all want to get on with the semis and finals. The relavent threads mainly seem to be full of Poole bashers conspiracy theories, all pretty boring really. So how about a bit of a review of this seasons team. Even before the start many fans wanted Vinnie kept, but maybe with hindsight that wouldn't have been so shrewd. Starke wasn't many people's fav selection but he has done the job. Tobias and Zac have shown what they're capable of. I still wish we had secured the services of Dan Thompson. But both Anders and Kerr have performed be it a bit inconsistently.  What do you think? 

I believe the BV riders have this written in their contract which imo is a good thing and shame other clubs don’t do it, I heard one promoter say he wasn’t interested in it when it was put to him as an idea, absolutely everything should be pushed by the clubs to forge that bond with the fans and club, riders on the whole are pretty easy going and will do such things if asked but if you don’t encourage they will just get in their vans and drive off
