Just had a half price TNT on Discovery+ offer £15.49 for 7 months before it reverts to £30.99 after this will see me through this season so tempted to take it for what amounts to a extra tenner This offer is good until April 30t btw!

There has been several looks at the Stansted site over the years but nothing ever came of it.

Makes it feel season soon coming, sign on tonight 😍

Going by the names already announced, this could be the biggest and best Benfund Bonanza for years...........

If osbourne wasn't involved we would still have the Abbey, and no homes surrounding it.

When I rode in the NJL we had a meeting at Berwick where I really struggled to ride the track. But once the meeting was over we were allowed to keep riding until the curfew as there was still 30 mins to go. Although the Berwick lads were reluctant to give us help during the main NJL meeting (understandably) when we were out at the end, all of the Berwick lads were giving us tips on how to ride the place, and I tell you, it was a lot easier!! 3rd bend you've got to throw it in deep and go all the way to the fence and then cut back going into bend 4 and make a long straight. If you enter bend 3 tight, which is what I was doing, you run out of room coming off bend 4 and hit the home straight fence. I've always appreciated Berwick for taking the time to help develop us young riders and letting us ride for 30 minutes after the NJL meeting had finished. Weather and accidents in the main meeting are completely out of their control!

Not sure about this year but previous seasons their has been a contribution from BSPL to the production costs for the season as the sport needs tv coverage to attract sponsorship for clubs and riders . Where this money came from not 100% sure got told by one person it was out of the Rowe deal along with club contribution

A good question. Can’t recall it ever being mentioned as a possible new venue. Lots of photos on the internet.

I really don’t care anymore

It wasn’t meant in bad taste at all so apologies if it came across that way. I think it’s totally fair that if they’ve asked Ben Trigger to work on his fitness and professionalism to ask the same about Ben Barker, and I mean it in the nicest way that last year was a poor year for Barker who has ridden at the very top of this sport and if Plymouth are to have a good season then they will really need Ben B to step up and become the 2nd heat leader and increase his average. I agree that Ben B is a great rider to watch and always gives it 110 percent, I’m also pleased to see Ben T get a championship place and hope the gladiators have a great season.

It will be met Normski, now everybody get behind the project if you can

Their first mare of the season!

Woke has killed off the Cardiff Speedway GP? I've heard it all now 😄 It's a sad, but inevitable end. And there's loads of reasons for it. I suspect the event has been propped up beyond it's natural lifespan from public sector funding in Wales. And that's not sustainable. Cost of living is a factor in this....people simply have less disposable income over the last decade. High energy prices mean that running major facilities...even your local pool...has rocketed and these costs have to be passed on. But the biggest reason is that British Speedway as a whole is on its *rse. The fan base is shrinking, ageing and ultimately dying....and without that hardcore of supporters, any big event in the UK will struggle. It was always a fabulous day out, it's the end of era, but I will always have some great, great memories from Cardiff.
