There's no debate. Lee Dicken is the greatest Tiger of all time.

Phil Morris... very impressive! Can you imagine Rob Godfrey stood up there!

Phil morris to be applauded, skewered the opposition ,the decaying sport statement got right under his skin. CVS was quality as well rebutting the argument that wolves have folded because it wasn’t viable. first day goes to the good guys

Not me, will always go, winning or losing

HA! GOT U! MEETING JUST BEEN CALLED OFF! UP URS!

I'm told that Ipswich knocked that option on the head. As a result, R/R is on a mandatory 7 day concussion break.

To be fair I don't think anyone can doubt Doyle when it comes to his committment to British speedway.

However did we manage to race over 20 home meetings back in the 60s and 70s? Oh yes a wee drop of rain didn't deter riders back then.

you can’t even think of your own response, just plagiarise the first bit of mine! I just answered you claiming I’d never experienced adrenaline to prove you wrong - again! You like claiming a lot of things that are bull but try and pass yourself off as the ‘expert’. Still, I should probably stop feeding the troll I’m off to enjoy more adrenaline!

I was at Foxhall today & can confirm that there is damage to the pit gate, caused by a champagne cork hitting it last Thursday. Parts due to arrive 8am Friday morning

Speedway is a dying sport because of scum like osbourne.

I have to admit that when I read that Shane Parker had been voted the greatest Tiger of all time I laughed. I though how could the present generation of fans compare him to Jimmy Mac or Charlie Monk (my boyhood hero's) and then it dawned on me that the previous generation would have said the same about Tommy Millar and Ken McKinlay and their predecessors. Having been lucky enough to have been brought up on 60s and 70s speedway this old dinosaur finds kevlars and lay downs a bit 2nd class.

I'd definately go if i was you.

He is generally poor at Ipswich. When he rode for us he was particularly poor. Didn’t get one of his brilliant rides all season. was never his fault though. Track or set ups

Aces still stronger without Wright

I tend to agree, Emil and Danny would likely get more than Harris, Rew and Riss would probably get similar if they are used cleverly so overall probably safer bet.

96 years between the 2 also, this guys got some skills

I think there's a lot more to it than that. The bikes are very different and much harder to ride in imperfect conditions, and promotions seem to be reluctant to run in front of rain affected crowds or pay expenses for rider's travel only for the meeting to be off anyway. Don't get me wrong, Brtish speedway has got itself in this hole. But if you are going to have play offs then the season needs organising much better than it has been recently.

Steve Lawson was voted Greatest Tiger of all time.

I get what you're saying, but the problem is the fact that sport is "ruled" by money these days. It's easy to say that it was a minor offence, or a technicality, but that is not the way that governing bodies look at things now; it's all financial, and about control. Teams and organisations are now producing contracts that are affecting their lives away from the sport (including social media), where they can go and what they can do/say, and rights to images and names. Competitors are getting much harder punishments for breaking these rules.

Hmmm....Bruce Penhall would be too obvious? How about Steve Lucero?

The first point isn’t true. About a third of League Two football grounds are bigger than Dean Court. Speedway is a minority sport. Of course there being a match at the local Premier League ground on the same night would hit the speedway attendance.

It's staggering really that a conurbation of the size of BCP can't sustain a soccer match at a ground whose capacity is lower than most 4th tier league grounds and at a second tier speedway venue on the same night? Clearly something going wrong

Exactly. Although season coming to a close so people might just try and get as many meetings in as they can. Doubt it. If there was an alternative they would have taken it. Makes me think the cut off for the groups is end of Sept. Knew there must be a perk to supporting Southampton at some point. Looks like I have found it!

He said it wasn't rye house or Eastbourne. Also Swindon licence is on ice for now. He said new speedway track from what I recall. Make of that what you will.

Omg he's back,,, different account but the Belle Vue end of a bell is back.

I haven't been following this in depth but of course I wish Coventry all the best. Used to love my visits there to watch the Robins! I hear that Clarke Osborne's name has come up during the meeting and he's said that houses should be built as speedway is a dying sport or something along those lines. What a joke of a comment from a man who has formed Swindon Motor Sports to build a new all purpose stadium for the Robins to ride at!!!!! It's almost like he doesn't actually intend to do this!! This guy clearly gets a kick out of killing speedway clubs. Makes me want to see Coventry back on track more than ever now!!

Aye counting wasn't his strong point. Say why you want about Lee (I will) he always gave 100%

will get you thrown out of a meeting these days!

Also wasn't that the GP where Gollob grabbed Henka's crown jewels

Rob Tilbury? Nice pink helmet

If we lose at Scunny on Friday that will affect the attendance more than the football imo.

Probably a stadium staffing issue?! Either that or the stadium have had some success in hiring out their venue facilities!?? It does however mean we clash with a AFCB home cup match on 27th which will no doubt have some effect on attendance!!

Especially on that ipswich page we both post on,,, some bloke was more or less trying to start a fight with me the other day,,, so I put the rule up for him to read,,, and still no apology,,, the admin then removed it all

I think ippo shoukd rr in the first leg. Would get 7 or 8 points rather than taking a risk on Harris.....

Guests and using alternative race nights would solve the fixture problems,it’s only the racing that most fans are there to see nowadays.Just give every rider a plastic trophy as they have all probably guest at some time during the season.

For some reason Chris seems to struggle at some tracks that Jack seems to do reasonably well at, Jack is usually ok at Wolves.

You don't think that they care about the taxpayers, do you?

I was always under the impression that Brian was " a signed & sealed " job with Coventry the minute he lifted the title at Brandon.

With respect, this 2024 thing is getting silly now. I respect people are upset, and might of had a drink at this late hour, and i sympathise, but

I see your point, but it's like asking a Tottenham fan to support Arsenal. Yes it's the same sport in the same league, but it's not "the same".

Always thought I had a gift

As amusing as that is to watch riding around in celebration after the meeting is not an official session, you may as well throw them out for wearing shorts and a t-shirt between sessions

It was in perfectly good taste, I didn’t mean anything by it, I was just interested in people’s thoughts.

Won't go anywhere it's Peterborough or nothing

It's strange that Porton Down is based in Salisbury where the person you are probably alluding to was 'poisoned' and that Porton Down is the site of the Ministry of Defence's Science & Technology Laboratory which according to Wikipedia is "one of the UK's most secretive and controversial military research facilities". It's also strange that the two people who supposedly poisoned him with nerve agent were immune to the nerve agent themselves. Call me a conspiracy theorist but that story never sat right with me. The likelihood is that he poisoned himself after trying to steal it to sell it on and that would have been a wee bit embarrassing for the UK government to admit to so they concocted the story about Russia to divert attention away from the research facility and a possible breach in its security by a former Russian DOUBLE AGENT who could definitely be fully trusted... Anyway, whatever the circumstances and however it went down i'm convinced that Vadim Tarasenko was not involved.

Topical, you've got it... tried to mislead you all by the fact it's not raining

Unfortunately in today’s society vermin being vermin this is a worrying trend. Hopefully catch the culprits and give them a good boot in the haw maws before throwing the key away.

SAVE COVENTRY SPEEDWAY MEDIA INFORMATION E-mail: pressoffice@savecoventryspeedway.com THE Planning Inquiry hearing into Brandon Stadium gets underway on Tuesday September 19. This follows on from the decision of Rugby Borough Council's Planning Committee last November, in which they unanimously refused the Brandon Estates planning application. The developers then appealed that decision, and the inquiry will now take place over an 8-day period featuring speakers and witnesses from all parties. There will be representatives from Brandon Estates, the Council (as they defend their decision to refuse the application) and from the Save Coventry Speedway & Stox Campaign Group as a Rule 6 party. We will be providing witnesses from both speedway and stock car racing to give evidence on our behalf, and they will also be subject to cross-examination. The process will be detailed and will cover a wide range of topics, and a final decision is not expected until several weeks after the inquiry. However, the proceedings can all be followed via a livestream and we are sure many supporters will wish to make use of this facility. The link for the session on Tuesday September 19 (from 10am) is as below, and subsequent days' streams will be available from the Rugby Borough Council YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Quacfny1d3c We believe we have prepared thoroughly for this vital inquiry, and we look forward to hearing the evidence from all sides and having the opportunity to state our case in support of the Planning Committee’s original decision.
