  1. Don't think any of the above is unreasonable to expect from any promotion to be honest.

  3. Brennan definitely touched Kyle. Was a racing move don't get me wrong, no bad intent, but the correct call was made

  4. Just put transponders on the bikes then there would be no argument who got to the finish line first. You would also get accurate race times. They've had them on the karts on the racetrack next to Redcar speedway for years.

  5. Common sense comments then... Get the fundamental basics correct first..

  6. Just bullet pointing roughly what was said- Started off wishing all the best for Auty. Said a meeting being abandoned after 2 races for a straight forward crash is unacceptable. He's sick of turning up at tracks and finding them operating with the bare minimum of medical cover. Believes that the authorities should step in and insist on having two paramedics and ambulances before a meeting should start. Understands that medical cover doesn't come cheap but should be the first item on each clubs budget at the start of the season.

  9. I hope this ok to post - we have created a JustGiving page to raise donations for Josh Auty who is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after breaking his leg at Birmingham earlier this week. Please could you donate if you are able and also share the link to try and help spread the word? https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/joshautyfundraiser Thank you!

  17. I don’t get what’s in it for Glasgow to consider moving to the Premiership though? Smaller league, more costs, no local matches… what am I missing?

  18. Let's hope it doesn't take as long to get 'Terry' or someone similar in as it did for Poole, was at least ten years of bumps and holes wasn't it? Might have been longer.

  19. If the producers of Speedway Star magazine read this please can you look at reverting the cover of the magazine to what it used to be. What I mean by that is reflecting the events of the day. Have the latest grand prix winner etc on the cover and make it relevant to the news of the week. The front page format you have been using over the last few years is boring and uninspiring. I used to buy the magazine every week religiously but now only buy it periodically. Please change the front cover back. It used to be like a souvenir back in the day following a World Final or Grand Prix. P.S This weeks cover should have been Nigel Pearson rather than just a small pic of him. Just Saying.

  20. To put it in football terms with reference to my own club... It was like sacking Giovanni van bronckhorst and replacing him as manager with renowned kit man Jimmy bell.

  21. They did a good job and had lots of enthusiasm which is always a big plus. No criticism from me, just observation. Keep up the good work and I will tune in again later in the season.

  24. After all my talk last week, I WILL be going this week. We have a bit of spare time and money today so we can afford the trip. I just hope it's a classic meeting and we get some news about whoever Brad's replacement is??? I need to fall in love with Newcastle speedway again...

  25. Thought they said it was to get all the sponsor group around whatever they do an then into their box.Ref didn't come back from pits to ref box till near enough 7.15 either so maybe "discussions" in pits possibly over who was eligible for r/r rides.At least it was a lovely warm night to sit waiting.

  26. Your observations are out of date. The changes made to both shape & size since it was laid out now produce comparable racing to almost every other uk track (a few exceptions) The issue now is the inconsistency of surface - too many bumps and holes in key areas which need to be addressed.

  27. You're missing a big part. Nigel only died on Friday and the Speedway Star is signed off on a Monday. Very hard to get a full tribute done for him when the majority of the magazine is written. Not only that, every single writer for the magazine will have been hugely affected by his passing, as they're all his colleagues!! It has been said that next week will be all about Nigel, which will allow them to get the tribute he deserves.

  28. One of the biggest disappointments is the Leicester track. They had a blank canvas and came up with that.

  35. Mind you putting on 2 mins for rerun when fallen rider was still on the track at Brough today was probably a bit too over enthusiastic!

  36. I didn't see the incident last night but a referee is entitled to give 'all 4 back' at any point during the race, regardless of which lap they're on

  39. Oh come on now, I think we can all agree that those who have been twice in eleven years know more about the track than those who go every week I think its generally accepted that when building the track and stadium they made a bit if a horlicks of the shape but a lot of work has gone into widening and improving it. Sounds like there are one or two issues with the surface but it's posted on here far more often than ever before that the racing is good nowadays and that's a very positive thing. To answer the OP writing any team off in April is silly.

  42. 3 heat leaders at Leicester and some teams have struggled to track more than 1. The investment in the twins over the years has been considerable and admirable. For the sake of a season or two' s not optimal results in return for potential return has to be worth it

  43. Yes - an opinion based on my own eyes (from a perfect position to see who crossed the line first). Saying it as I saw it, as I always do and try to be fair to both teams. Everyone around me actually laughed when the result was announced.

  47. I was just thinking where this late team building rhetoric for Newcastle came from. As I remember had 5 signed pretty quickly and were slow to fill last 2 slots. That's a totally different thing
