All these potential anomalies will have been thought through. Won't they?

And pics with Osborne Clark .. even if the stadium is built this guy has destroy speedway clubs and in my opinion and is just a total scumbag .. the club is ran so well but really is naïve when it comes to Clark and co .

i believe one of the announcements tonite will be the offer to fans of massively discounted holidays in a french chateau and the other an appeal for a local carpet fitter prepared to work abroad

Confirmed. First signing Archie Freeman: http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=101074

Oh dear, Havvy as Team Manager. Good luck with that one, he could maybe ride a bike in his day, but Team Management skills and interpersonal skills ! He most certainly has not got.

I think all teams should have them. Just baffled why they weren’t used for the past two seasons that’s all.

Tonights big announcements!HAVVY ON BOARD WITH MIDDLOhttps://poole-speedway.com/news/view/2020-01-15-havvy-on-board-with-middloRACE SUITS ARE BACK! AND YOU CAN OWN ONEhttps://poole-speedway.com/news/view/2019-12-15-sponsor-a-race-suit-and-own-it

Racesuits and Middlo and Havvy team share. Awesome!!!

No visa required, either -- born in Bristol!

I would suggest your better off debating this on a Wolverhampton thread

Too late, Poole have changed leagues A good idea IF it’s properly administered.

Does anyone know when these might come out?

Or Peterborough number 1.....

Less media coverage??? Poole have some of the best and consistent local and regional media coverage. Add to that the probable new streaming service and 'the job's a good'un'!

He does indeed! It will be interesting to see who gets the nod.

Thanks for all your hard work from me and my grandson.

According to International Speedway, Vic Huxley failed to appear for Australia v England in their 1932-33 series in his homeland because the promoters' failed to meet his demanded appearance fee'

Found something from 1931 The Daily Mail reveals that a strike nearly preceded the speedway test between England and Australia, the riders demanding the doubling of the fiver which is the usual appearance fee. Despite the hothead's insistence on a strike, wiser counsels prevailed and the matter will be thrashed out at a special meeting of the National Speedway Association, when it is expected that a decision to make the fee for test appearances of 10 pounds, will be reached Presumably all went well. No mention of this on International Speedway

That's Sunday, Monday - Happy Days

You are correct Dave my mistake. cheers

Jeppesen has contracts in Denmark, Poland and elsewhere so I can't see him in the frame.

Lots of extra activity in South Wales this morning around some large storage units!! Unfortunately it seems Bill Glass has misplaced his keys!!!

"IF"Jason decides to puts his racing head on then the only rider likely to beat him will be Tai, I would suggest the reason Jason is riding is a favour to his W.A. Rock Oil distributor.

What is the rule if a rider decides to retire mid season?

I don't disagree, but he has 'matured' as a rider in recent years, as he has ridden more.

It is a good job Poole moved to the lower league as they would be in trouble with all the changes they make.

Yes I have a deal of sympathy for you wanting to stay on track but to be fair. The discussion did go off at a tangent talking about Scott. But the fact Wolves didn't sign him (or the other way round) now means he's potentially available to the Panthers. So the discussion was relevant.

Not sure some Kings Lynn fans would agree with that...

a move nearer to a squad system?...….maybe

they wouldn't have to keep making daft rules if clubs didn't act like such jerks chasing basically meaningless titles

No alterations oh that’s a lot of people not attending then...decent venue no alterations that’s a shame

That’s Skidder speak for “there will be no rider announcements tomorrow”. So what else could it be? Sponsors? New promoter? Matt coming back full time? Go on Skidder, you’re usually in the know so give us a clue

Hopefully for Panthers sake they get some confirmation ASAP on final 3 riders, because information on season tickets to be announced Thursday according Carl. Some fans may wish to know the 1-7 before purchasing, although I bet season ticket holders are hard to come by these days.

What like they did with Readings bid to race at Swindon, giving the NL another much needed team, exposure for a homeless club trying to increase interest with a view to finding a location for a new track while giving more NL opportunities for British youngsters??

More like won’t pay enough so no bucker will sign

Correct. It's a rule that was voted in at the AGM. Not a bad idea, and certainly better than the 31 July or 31 August transfer deadlines we've had previously. At the start of the season no team can kick a rider out until they've ridden 6 matches. At the end of the season once you've completed 18 matches you have to stick with your team for the last 6 matches and play-offs. This is much fairer as all teams are working to the same deadline. With a cut-off at a specific date (31 July or 31 August) teams have done uneven numbers of meetings at that date, so they can fiddle their way round the rules. Of course there will still be ways to fiddle, but lessthan with a set-date deadline.

Google Svemo old website- it’s still live.

I think it is 4.00 Gav. I think when we made that decision a few years ago we were thinking that 3.99 was permissible in the NJL.

Looks like the Swedish doctor is going to be busy proving injuries next year then!

Well done to SS a very fitting tribute in depth to Doug.

People having opinions is what it is all about , some may not agree with them but they may not agree with your opinion. It is a bit of fun and should just treat as such.

or in the middle of nowhere, or nowhere anyone wants to build, such as Redcar

Nope the national championship was over three rounds, the last being at Auburn in Seltember. Last weekend meeting was NOT the National championship - it was for determining the two riders who will get places in the GP qualifying rounds.

Another backer/sponsor announced, this being Fabvent of Spittal. Keep 'em a-coming, Bandits!

Why would you say Glasgow? You got them on speed type?

I recall his brief spell with Sheffield when he won loads of credit for his sheer guts and can-do attitude. Considering his seemingly endless run of bad luck I'd like to see him having some part to play in the sport. If he's fit and willing to go, someone should give him a place. If nothing else, he could have a role in team management. One of speedway's unsung heroes in my book.

A couple of weeks ago, the average so far for the season was 334. This included a couple of cup matches at the start of the season against higher league opposition which got 5-600. League matches have been getting 250-300.

Yet again its just short sighted from the BSPA. The NL is dangling by a thread and with Plymouth likely to attempt a step up again next season, Kent to discover how viable two side are and standalone teams like IOW & Mildenhall to find out how workable a reduced fixture list is things are far from certain. To then prevent the possibility of Reading, Exeter or any other nomad team that has the funding from joining the league when clubs are folding far faster than they are opening is yet another showing of ineptitude by the powers that be.

£35 ticket for 2 meetings and approx 40 races is a bargain
