Would that have anything to do with riders prepared to attack the track rather than whinging? just asking

Just watched the programme, thought he came across really well and interacted with the other guests very well. Don't get this constant Tai bashing.

not a newcastle fan but same goes for all fans regardless of which team suerly its more important to track down and get the right riders rather than just getting the team announced as quick as possible

Because the whole average situation this year is farcical and the people who run the sport in the UK are unable to distinguish between their bumholes and their earholes?

So the last few posts just completely ignoring the fact the racing had improved no end after the new shale/riders came and the 2nd half of the season was good racing. Sorry that doesn't fit the negative theme! . . . . at least the results were rubbish though

If it’s that much of a dead cert, when are you opening? you can retire with your millions and say “I told you so” hell you you could even franchise it throughout the country.

He is not a super anything.....

Kings Lynn has been pants for a few years now, i can't see it ever improving without taking in the corners...

Heathens Fans Forum. Concerned fans of The Cradley Heathens Speedway Team, are urging all supporters to attend a Fans Forum, to be held at The Netherton Conservative Club, 1 Halton Street, Netherton, Dudley, DY2 0PJ on 9th January. 7.30pm start time. The meeting has been arranged by supporters , to gather opinions and thoughts on the short and long term future of the club. Concerns have been raised again, following difficulties to obtain a permanent home in the area for the world famous team. The club have continued to track share at Monmore Green and Perry Barr over the last few seasons, but with uncertainty over available dates, they can only commit to a reduced race schedule The fans want to see how they can influence the situation and work together with all parties, to secure a long term future for the Heathens. Everyone is welcome to participate, air their views and ideas, which will in turn hopefully spark some much needed impetus and generate further appetite, for fans to get involved. The event has been warmly received by the Heathens Management, who are keen to listen to the fans ideas and work together to find a solution to the long running saga. It is hoped that the Heathens faithful turn out in force, to what could be another turning point in the history of the club. Organisers: Tracey Robinson-Rivers, Jacky Mcnaney, Jackie Mason, Grant Marks and Simon Priest.

I’m not a fan of tai but I thought he cane across really well , however the show itself was dire with the last 10 mins turning into some poor mans kids show

Why would you lie directly to there faces!!!

Im sure if David Mason got in touch with Matt Ford, he would show him how to get round it.

With young Bewley and Bickley in the side the Worky fans have alot to look forward to in the season ahead.Bewley he really has impressed me he has a real racing brain and i will be amazed if he does not put 1.5/2 points on his average this year.Bickley it will be tough but he is dedicated has good aquipment has a great team(dad) etc) and he will be fine for me the main thing for Kyle is to enjoy his racing the rest will follow.I hope this trend will follow now in the Championship young Brits getting a prolonged run at this level it was great last year to see the likes of Hume, Mountain, Bowtell, Wood really make progress as a supporter i really like to see young riders make it up the ladder.

It will be a bonus for Comets fans watching youngsters like Bewley and Bickley making their way in the sport.Not enough young riders in Championship these days.IMO.

I would say that 5 minutes of standing around watching a tractor and listening to "Now that's what I call music volume one" has a more negative impact than any rules anyway.

BECAUSE there are far too many rules, many of which contradict one another. Rules should be about what you can do, not what you cannot.,

early bird offer in season tickets in fantastic im signing up works out 11 quid a meeting with a programme included in that as opposed to 13 and 3 each meeting so a fiver saving each meeting

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Royal Mail will blame SS.

Unfortunately, the sport has changed tremendously since them early days, when bikes were of a lesser importance than the rider. A good rider could always be competitive on poor machinery , whereas today the bike has to be equally as good, just to be in with a chance... The skill factor has changed. these high revving engines likes nothing more then to have the throttle turned up. No doubt the greats of years back who then ruled the world would struggle on these super fast bikes..... So tracks of today, has to cater for these ultra quick machines and that is where the problems some in......

30th March - with the reduced fixture list it could be the first meeting Throw in a Kings Lynn challenge to the possibilities....

Amazing how it seems Swindon get screwed over each season now isn’t it. It doesn’t pay to win the league as the cry baby thinks only his team should win it. Colin Pratt’s article in this weeks Speedway Star says all what is wrong with speedway in this country. A certain promoter & lower league division clubs riding rough-shot over the current champions.

The problem is, if a rider touches the tapes but the race continues, and he team rides to a 5-1 with his partner, blocking every attempt for the opposing rider to pass, then get excluded after the race, he would had an influence on the race by team riding. Rather he was excluded, with riders having to go immediately around to the start, with no reserve replacement in the heat.

They cannot run on Wednesdays exclusively but I expect they will use as many as they can then have a few on Mondays. Just like Poole I would imagine.

More of a complete bruv.....a complete xxxx!!!

I've always believed the surface was the biggest problem. if the surface was right then the corners are racable, with lines inside and out. Over the years we have seen some wonderful racing proving the shape is not that far off.

Thing also to remember the stadiums main business is Stock Cars not speedway - it’s a stock car stadium that happen to run speedway as well , I’ve several stock car friends and they all say about Lynn what we used to say about speedway best track in the country .

I don’t believe Eastbourne let him go I think he declared himself unfit?

Under the Bosman rule, riders should be able to move around clubs without any loan fee, I guess it hasn't been challenged yet, but it makes the Asset base redundant

Would they be the same exciting video clips that should be appearing on the club website and available everywhere (not just a coffee shop) on social media and could be properly targetted?

Coming across really well... really is a credit to our sport

When I last saw a rule book...and that's years ago now...much of it was filled with technical rulings aimed at the machinery and what was deemed legal or what wasn't. Forgot the number of meetings I was present at when protests went in about tyres, size of carbs, engines and silencers for example which held up proceedings or even resulted in results being altered after the event. Personally I was never interested in the machinery/technical side of the sport only the racing and arguments over a 'used' or 'new' edge on a tyre grew tiresome. Obviously with any motorised sport there has to be rules governing the machinery whether two or four wheeled but as bikes became more sophisticated I guess more potential loopholes needed to be closed.

Actually, thousands, in fact tens of thousands enjoy 4 guys racing, it's called the Grand Prix. No arbitrary rules, points limits, "assessments", just pure racing. Unfortunately, for many reasons, league racing needs to have some element of restrictions in order to cater for clubs with a wide variance of incomes and support levels. My grip is that this is not done in a transparent way so that all fans feel their are competing on a level playing field.

...I grew tired when it seemed that most winters rules were changed and altered...points limits, number of heats per meeting varying between 13. 14. 15. 16 and even 18. It even got to the ridiculous stage where both leagues adopted different heat formula, number of riders per team (varying from six to eight), six lap races, numerous nominated heats during at least one season I recall, doubling up and down, constant changes to the T/S and R/R regulations etc etc.I even seem to recall that when fixed gates were introduced prior to the 1988 season a team that went behind six or more points were allowed to choose gates...the rule being quickly changed again after it was realised that it went against why the ruling had been first introduced. It's basically four bikes circumnavigating an oval track over four laps with a three, two, one scoring system.

Really , then why won’t they ride for £10 pp in national league ? It is true , some people might not like it cause it’s a little to close for comfort but doesn’t make it not true ,.it has never been easier to get a national league place and once they are in they start demanding alsorts

What do you expect when you’ve got a troll updating the posts? Probably forgot what login details are needed.....

The Faringdon raceway was a dirt track, with a speedway track inside for training. The speedway track was maintained by parents and friends of the riders. Troy Smith, Martin Chessell and the Knappmans learnt there amongst others, Rosco had a few skids as well.

If she' oozing it might be time to empty her

Maybe she's accustomed to very small portions since being with you ....

Having gone to the recording Tai came across very well indeed, to the point I had many people come up to me and ask about Tai and speedway. (Had my Clifton racing hoodie, and tw108 hat on) all said how well he came across and that he seemed outspoken but not in an arogant way. Clare Balding who I have seen discuss speedway before, also seemed very knowledgeable and understood the politics. Tai had great chemistry with fellow guests tai kwondo star Bianca (forgot her surname) and Frank Lampard. And it was a thoroughly entertaining evening.

so if the rule changes near the start of the season. what will happen to all those riders that have invested heavily in new equipment, signed into a van hire agreement .sponsorship sourced and other stuff . where are they left . the rule cannot be changednow and must not be changed, just because some fans/promoters could not get the riders they wanted after the AGM.

Possibly, but for me Fundin's comment says it all. Put Mauger in any earlier area and, in my opinion, the same thing would have happened. He would have taken the sport to a new level and become dominant. Greatest of all time, I reckon.

But don't forget after all this I am available to jet in for your end of season play offs if my calendar is blank

Probably bleeps between "in" and "Britain" "the" and "sport" "a" and "basket" "it`s" and "arse" certain" and "level" "run and "British" and finally "of" and "matching" !!!!

"I dont actually ride in Britain because years of systemic balls ups have rendered the Sport over here a basket case which is on its arse, as well as that I also pride myself on a certain level of Professionalism that sadly those who run British Speedway cannot even dream of matching"... "Next question.." Joking apart, I am sure Tai will be the conssumate Pro if asked the question, a pity he cannot be in the vanguard of what the Sport is built around in this Country.....

I have known Noddy ever since 1969 when Ipswich re-opened on The Heath. Indeed he was an amazing character, often drove riders and promoters mad, but he was so engaging and enthusiastic that in fact he was so much part of the sport. I was in the party to Ukraine in 1990 and Neil MacFarlane would always relate an hilarious tale about Noddy. I will miss his smile, his regular requests for lifts, and indeed if I ever wanted the inside story of a team or rider, Noddy always knew. We have lost some great names from Ipswich..JB John Earrey, Joe Thurley, Billy, etc..etc....Noddy old son, you were so much part of the Foxhall set up.....RIP old son
