I don’t think there is any problem with Lamberts hunger or desire, he simply is as good as he will ever be and any shortcomings are down to his limitations of ability rather than effort and commitment.

With you on that one Aces51, Lidsey will develop into a good rider he is someone you have to give time to.At Worky last year they showed everyone what can be achieved with the way they handled young Bickley and how he has come on in the Championship because of it.Why do some of the ground work with Lidsey then allow somebody to reap the benefit in the future patience is the word.He is suffering a bit of pressure because other riders in the team are not doing the job they are capable of doing.

They travel ok...it's just when they ride they are s***!

Oh bugger, Matt has spent thousands getting in a road grader, etc to level the base and it wasn't necessary!! Why didn't Starry tell Matt that beforehand?

Dissenters ??? Do you not mean paying customers? What a disrespectful way to call paying customers - Most people have work the next morning and want to get home some people have children with them and want to get home maybe you have neither and can take your time after the meeting but for most people that isn’t the case .

Or Thorssell with someone over 9

Nicks average is now 5.84 so 7.99 to replace him. Or 5.47 to replace Ashley, dropping Kyle to reserve Which one is best I have no idea, it depends who's available I guess

Sorry Trees but I see no future and very little point in keep re-visiting Simon Lambert riding for us or indeed any team at this level. He is what he is, which a decent NL no 1 or at best a CL Reserve ( at certain Clubs). He is no better ( and no worse) than we he was as a 16/17 year old As for going in the bar afterwards, not for me as have very little interest in it and just want to get back on the road to do the 90min journey home.

Elation, actually. Even the QUADROUPLE + Fours, Pairs & Individual Champion. http://www.scunthorpe-speedway.com/?page_id=2840 "I was there" are words that I can use as I have followed Scunthorpe Speedway through thick & thin at Quibell Park & Ashby Ville to the present days at the EWR. I also travelled down to Mildenhall in 2011 & down to Somerset in 2012.

Try selling it to Dirty Barry ( one for Fools n Horses fans )

Stefan Nielsen is the Swindon number 7, so stop posting crap

Many thanks for your comments and help about informing me what any mistakes and other information.. I will be added these to the new video going up on YouTube very soon. I will post the new YouTube address and amend the old one as soon as possible. I will be working on a 1976 New national League bib video and also a iconic team version with Wembley, New Cross, Southampton amongst many others I have not made these yet so it will take me a few days.

Proper speedway Nige.

Heat 15 video to enjoy. Cracking ride by Heeps.

Danny Halsey was going to be the next big thing at Rye House about ten years ago but he never made the jump to PL standard. I wonder what Mark Blackwell and Sam Dore are doing now.

Yes... I'm one of them. I really think the Promotion missed big time this season. No problem dropping down a league, I personally prefer it, but not having any of those riders is a massive blow. Not on results...but the majority of fans had a ' connection' with those three. This year's team is 'meh'...there is just no connection imo. When a rider makes fans get excited to watch a race...run out of the bar etc, then the promotion imo should take notice. All three you mention had a positive effect on a meeting and it's enjoyment. All we want is a connection, excitement and good racing....otherwise it's just a bunch of blokes going round in circles.

Maybe Starman ran off with it saying 'we don't need it, nothing wrong with the track...'

There are a lot of Berwick fans who's glasses are empty, have been dropped on the floor and smashed

Holder riding

Good on Matt Ford.

That's what i thought

Thanks for adding the 'away' bib of the City "Rebels". A great compilation and the choice of music adds to the nostalgia!

British League of 14-16 Clubs and a National Development League of 8-10 Clubs No doubling up apart from NDL to reserves

Agreed Baggy and Simon knows it, he's not an idiot, Simon really does not deserve some of the crap slung at him on this thread, do any of the dissenters go into the bar for the Q&A? Just asking out of interest?

30/03/1956 Southampton v Monarkerna 54-42 CONFIRM DATE & RESULT Date and score confirmed from programme and report. 10/07/1956 Southampton World Championship QR Winner: Len Williams DATE & RESULT Date confirmed; Ian Williams (not Len) 15, Alby Golden 12, Bert Roger & Pete Lansdale 10. 29/07/1956 California v Southern Rovers (SAL) DATE & OUTCOME (postponed?) Speedway Star fixture list for the week actually stated ‘Sunday 29th July California, no meeting’. 26/08/1956 Rye House Brian Crutcher Trophy DATE & OUTCOME (postponed?) Speedway Star reported that the meeting was abandoned without a race being run due to torrential rain, with a large crowd having assembled. 27/08/1956 Southampton Pictorial Trophy Winner: Edwards DATE & RESULT (forename?) Date confirmed; Bert Edwards 14, Ken McKinlay 13, Bradley, Hanham & Rawlins 11. 06/09/1956 Oxford King's Of Oxford Trophy DATE & OUTCOME (postponed? this meeting appears to have taken place 7 days later) Confirmed that the meeting on 6th September was rained off. The programme was re-issued for the staging on 13th September. 16/09/1956 Eastbourne Sussex Championship Winner: Merv Hannan DATE & RESULT Date confirmed; qualifying heats then a final won by Merv Hannan from Ray Cresp (Bettis and Gooddy both fell). 09/10/1956 Southampton Ernie Rawlins Memorial Trophy Winner: Dick Bradley DATE & RESULT Date confirmed; Dick Bradley 14 beat Brian Hanham 14 in a run-off, George White 11. 21/10/1956 Rye House v California (Challenge) DATE & OUTCOME (no result posted) The Rye House programme for the meeting on 14th October included a complete fixture list for the year, with that meeting shown as the last one, with no reference to a further meeting on 21st October. There was also no mention of such a forthcoming meeting in the Speedway Star. The Speedway Researcher California file carries details for a home match with Rye House but no date. Result 44-39. Any further info on this one since publication? The website http://www.speedwaychampions.com/br-match-race-champs.php shows that Vic Ridgeon only met Jimmy Gleed once in the Silver Sash and that was at the meeting on 6th May. The scratch race final on 6th May was the Hurricane Handicap, the same as in the undated meeting details shown on the Speedway Researcher file. The match result for this meeting on 6th May is correctly recorded. The riders in the undated meeting are identical to those in the meeting for 6th May and I believe that the undated meeting results shown are fictitious (as is occasionally found in old programmes), with no additional meeting having taken place. London White City shows as having run in 1956 but my list merely states "fixtures incomplete". Any info available? 30th May; this was the annual Cavalcade of Sport, which included a handful of ‘speedway races’ on the athletics track, with competitors usually riding Vespa machines. This was the only meeting staged at White City that year.

Should be a 2.00. Signed for Glasgow on 2, but didn't ride.

26/07 Bradford (Postponed due to bus strike) DATE & MEETING Date confirmed as Friday, 26th July from a Speedway Star report, but no details of the intended format of the meeting were given. 14/09 Aldershot DATE, MEETING & RESULT A number of fixture changes were reported in Speedway Star 7th September, including the match at Aldershot to take place on Thursday, 19th September. This was the Rayleigh ‘home’ fixture against Aldershot due to have been staged on 14th September. Another of the fixture changes saw the SAL Riders’ Championship meeting at Rayleigh moved to 14th September and Aldershot’s Pete Mould and John Day competed in that meeting. Speedway Star had previously carried an advert for an ‘Open Meeting’ at Aldershot on 14th, but it would not have featured the team as it should have been fulfilling an away fixture before the alterations were made. It seems possible that no meeting took place, with the match to fulfil the Rayleigh ‘home’ fixture providing the Aldershot meeting for that week. 16/09 Exeter DATE, MEETING & RESULT No meeting advertised in the speedway papers, however, in the match report in Speedway Star for the meeting on 9th September it was stated that the meeting on 23rd September would be the last of the season. This might indicate that no meeting was scheduled for 16th September. If a meeting had taken place it is almost certain that Tony Lethbridge would have supplied details to Speedway Researcher. 22/09 California DATE, MEETING & RESULT Speedway Star 5th October 1957 reported that ‘speedway makes a welcome return to California’ (on October 6th). This phrase suggests that it might have been a while since the previous meeting (i.e. the California Championship two months earlier on 5th August, rather than just two weeks earlier on 22nd September). The indications are that there was no meeting on 22nd September. 06/10 California - listed as Supporters Trophy, postponed. CONFIRM DATE, MEETING AND REASON FOR POSTPONEMENT. Speedway Star (see above) stated that this was to be contested by Aldershot riders backed up by other riders associated with the club. Speedway Star 12th October then reported ‘Unfortunately we received too late for inclusion in last week’s issue the following statement from Frank Marshman: Due to circumstances beyond the Aldershot management’s control, the meeting scheduled for Sunday, October 6, has been cancelled.’

Another one less to pick from....replace Danny with joe Lawlor before he gets signed up as well .

Strange isn't it, he normally backs the management/MF etc to the hilt, yet on this issue they're all wrong, perhaps the star selling is a front and he's this engineering genius.

Well I suppose a rider could look at it two ways, they sacked me so I won't try like some riders at Poole have or think they have sacked but I want to prove I can do it and hope someone notices and signs me for another club.

Vetlanda v Piraterna attracted a crowd of 2091. Match got off to a terrible start when Michelsen lifted bringing down Wozniak and Huckenbeck clipping Wozniak`s bike- neither rode again. Artem Laguta and Zmarzlik were in a class of their own recording a paid and full maximum respectively. Zmarzlik featured in the race of the night in heat 13 when in 3rd place overtook NKI and Przedpelski in imperious fashion.

Stefan Nielsen guest at reserve, confirmed on official site. Full meeting preview:- http://swindon-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3280

Not really, there have been changes but not to the degree of making a fundamental difference, a speedway machine is 90% the same as it was in 2010. They are using lighter materials like titanium for a very small improvement, exhausts were the main change that effected power. I would accept the difference between an upright and a lay down is very different. On your comment 'Dont go then', I for one don't, at least this season anyway, so comments like that don't help your case, that is exactly the problem PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED GOING. Remember I have more reason to go than the average fan mainly to do with Leon

Booked time off to go to this but have since cancelled that. While I think the track will improve after the recent work, I think the first match could be worse than ever especially in the 30 degree heat. Add to that we are abysmal away from NSS. I can see Poole hitting 60 easy today. Especially if we have sacked riders before the meeting and asked them to ride tomorrow. They wont try.

Lanning was a survivor, he sorted the 1980 bonus out for the Reading Racers title winning team i believe he was personally screwed over of his own payment.??? Lanning was a great commentator and brought loads to speedway like Len Silver who i saw Sunday you have to admire both of them for there longevity in the sport.

Whilst sad for Kent its a wise move on the riders behalf. There is a good chance Jake will get fixed up over the winter so will have time to source machinery and get himself set up properly in readiness to give a good account of himself when the time is right for him/his family.

Always liked race bibs (never a fan of team suits) and the simpler ones were always the more effective in my view. Belle Vue's was always iconic and the Lion of Wembley.

Um bongo. Apparently they drink it in the Congo..

Programme 150 danish Krone

Leicester have been forced I to make a change. The rider has left the club rather than the club sacked the rider to get another one in.

Shouldnt knock george am sure cant be easy keeping the club going but he has done a good job all these years .

Unfortunately that attitude will kill speedway it’s that simple

Only at one end if the tide is in. If it's out, it will need it at both ends..

Joe Lawlor and Connor Coles would be better options than Phillips. Both have improvement in them. They might not score a load of points at the minute but could still weigh in with 3 or 4 and that can make a difference.

but trying to entice with fancy food etcisnt the answer.if you want a nice meal you go out to a restaurantpurely for that purpose.speedway is all about the basics and the atmosphere so i f you come to watch the speedway you come for that purpose alone.

I'm not sure that Broc coming in at this stage of the season ,will do better than Simon overall. Simon has a 4.67 average at the AFA, but 0.00 from is 2 away meetings. So 3.11. Broc surely would be better away though So they might be thinking of a few extra away points will help the cause

Absolutely disagree. Watch some meetings on youtube from Bell Vue as an example from this country. Then watch some stuff from Poland and then thirdly the GP’s. That will show you just how possible passing is on a ‘smooth, well prepared track -even a grippy one’ . The problem at Berwick is the shape, always has been, very little to do with the bikes.

Agreed. Can not see BV doing big changes now. As you said should of been done weeks ago. Another example of how poor Lemo is as TM and how badly the BV club is run = Lazy and with NO ambition. Except the Colts!

I wonder what sort of season we would be having had the fans choice of: Jake Allen, Charles Wright & Bradley Wilson Dean had been included in the 2019 team? They all have carried on improving & scoring plenty of points. There are defiantly some missing faces in the crowd..........
