I'm sure if you email the FA they might be able to do something

Sheffield have been saved by the weather there, had a feeling it could of been a big Panthers win

Yes it's early days and nowt is won in April/May however this Birmingham team as it stands will not win anything, Yes they have a good No1 but his high average was built on being very very good around his former home Track at Leicester, take away that home track average and it is/was obvious to most people his average would drop, but that high average limits the remaining team building possibilities, that is the start of where the team building has imo gone wrong, yes it was also thought that this would be a strong team at home and that they could get the odd away point. I will say again, I have a lot of time for Laurence Rogers and he spends many hours doing good things within Speedway, but a good team manager he is NOT, whoever makes the decisions at Birmingham Speedway should be on the phone to Alun Rossiter and do whatever it takes to get him in as Team Manager at Birmingham, because take it from me Birmingham people will not spend their hard earned money on watching this team as it presently stands. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but something needs to be done otherwise I can see the West Midlands being without Speedway in the not to distant future.

Oakes Article this week is on Wolverhampton

From his last 10 matches, same as every other rider

You imagine or yoy know? Is it official or not? I'd imagine that someone will land on the moon again but don't know that it will be May 1st or 4th....

That and losing KERR was the final straw.

Greg Blair does come in for Stoneman who faces a few weeks out. Not so sure what all the fuss is about, its a comfortable home win.

to be fair to LR he didn't say which years playoffs

We'll wait to see. If it is the BBC forecast you are looking at I find their predictions increasingly inaccurate. The Met Office is a much better gauge, dry and sunny for Monday

Very healthy crowd for the previous 2 meetings and plenty of OAPs amongst it so they were not put off by the new fangled internet and no cash.Sometimes I think people like to make out that the old are incapable of any new tech forgetting that most have been using it for years my opinion

Riss hasn't got concussion. He has a low white blood cell count which they think has been caused by an infection.

A good sized crowd can look small there as it has a high capacity and the back straight stand holds quite a few. Probably still around 2-2.5k there.

Which one?

None of our business really with privately owned companies... Agree though, it would be intriguing to know the viewing numbers

Depends if his van can do so many meetings in a short space!

You would hope so, it's their product to sell... wasn't their somebody watching from Canada last night? Hard to imagine that they would have attended

Excellent

On the Sheffield thread?

Just who within the club actually put that side together and thought 'oooh yeah that looks good'? Awful side...sorry.

Omg,,, a Panthers past meeting popped up on my you tube earlier,,,, it was good Friday 22 4 11,, v Coventry,,,, it was absolutely brilliant,,,, it reminded me just how good the showground track used to be before it got bustered. If you don't remember it or wasn't around to see it back then,,, I urge you to check it out,,, absolutely brilliant meeting.

I wish everyone involved all the luck in the world and a very big well done, and good luck to Workington in the coming season, whilst its obviously a work in progress "Rome was'nt built in a day" the main part is already done..

Leicester running with their own contracted seven riders? A ridiculous situation... There should be rules about this... The crowds these days expect to see loads of lads from neither of the clubs appearing that night... Won't end well all this, you mark my words.

The Stars to win in a canter…

No- Fanseat is excellent https://www.fanseat.com/speedway

Only thing your hearing are the voices in your head

He’s got a viral infection.

A "draw" will be enough for Glasgow to win the group, so I think they're pretty safe!

We need the meetings lol

No & we have a good guest lined up. ................... (you lot know A LOT about using guests.) '23 Tosh

OK, so it's not a surcharge on Seniors... but you're "encouraged" to pre-book meaning that there may be a certain demographic that are less likely to do this. Strange one as usually it's the other way around and you get surcharged for booking online. No doubt this has been done to death elsewhere on the forum

Meeting off.

Sounds harsh I know but the Brummies are actually stronger with guests for James Wright. Who is available when changes can be made? Surely they won't continue like this?

Unbelievable how Chapman has not only ruined the track, but the club as well. Despicable man with no regards to supporters, only interested in ripping off fans and lining his own pockets.

I’d be more shocked if she actually got a decision correct. By far the worst ref

Hearing Taylor Swift wants my number

I'm not so sure so I've decided on just limiting my bet to £100 each way

Has he silently retired ?

Douglas guested at Leic last Thur so surely not eligible

it is EUROSPORT so we will probably miss the first round of four heats and be live for the first track preparation break

I think its important to recognise that the application is for a change to the Premises Licence ie. when and for how long they can serve alcohol. It is NOT an application to change the terms of the lease to run the stadium. The lease still requires a minimum of 2 Sports and/or Leisure Activities. Any talk of 'decamping to IOW or Eastbourne or wherever' is pure conjecture - or at worst simple $#!t stirring..

I don’t think for one minute that anyone would suggest PC illness had no effect on his wellbeing BUT I can not and will not accept that should excuse his disgraceful behaviour at the book signing and his disrespectful treatment of Mr Casey who actually bought his book only to have defaced with an insulting message. PC issue was with BV not with Mr Casey!

Good post, very clear.

Geoff wanted everyone who had "shot putted" for Great Britain in for free to watch... But David Vine wouldn't allow it....

Personally, I wouldn't give PC any money after his shocking behaviour. The apology made it worse in my opinion, as it's clearly only an attempt to protect book sales.

I think the moral of the story is "If you don't want the public to think of you as a dick who would viciously scrawl an obnoxious message on a book that a dying man had paid £20 for, then don't be a dick viciously scrawling an obnoxious message on a book that a dying man paid £20 for".

Thanks Tony. And I appreciated then and am happy now to acknowledge your gestures. You were, of course, as much an innocent party to what happened as was Steve but I did and do believe that what happened needed to be made public. The one man who should have apologised has remained silent. As I have said elsewhere, PC’s behaviour was unforgivable and I am not alone being shocked and disgusted by it. I know he’s got a huge chip on his shoulder about the NSS, but you don’t take your bile out on one of the guys who has worked flat out to achieve a reconciliation.

I am truly devastated at the loss of Steve. He was my friend and travelling companion on several memorable domestic and overseas trips. He had no side to him but was a straightforward gentle gentleman. He worked tirelessly to get Peter Collins to come back to Belle Vue - and don’t believe PC’s propaganda, he was told he would always be welcomed at the NSS as would any ex-Belle Vue rider. What wasn’t on offer though was his demand, not request, that nearly 200 of his cronies, some who’d had no involvement with speedway let alone Belle Vue, also got in free. Steve tried many times to talk sense into PC, including going round to his house, but PC would not change his mind, possibly because he’d backed himself into a corner. Steve was never one for taking offence and went to the Glossop signing of PC’s book. Having paid his £20, PC scrawled in his copy “Steve, I will never forgive you for what you have done to me and my family. I will never go to BV if you are there.” Steve shared a photo of the inscription but then said to me that he’d enjoyed reading the book. That is the sort of man that Steve was and I hope that, although Steve will never be at BV again, neither will PC as he’ll be barred. I am not alone in knowing that I will never forgive PC for what he wrote. Many men become world speedway champion, there’s one every year, but there will only ever be one Steve Casey. I knew Steve’s cancer would take him sooner rather than later but am still stunned that we have lost him. The world is a much sadder place today.
