I wonder if the person who heads up the bank, is named 'Simon'? 🤔

I assume there is no special term for this in english. I can say it's just called "column A/B gates". Thank you for your feedback.

Conny Samuelsson was track record holder at Brandon at one stage

I see,, maybe I'm in the minority not having any TV packages at all,, zero pence a year at the moment.

Ellis didnt turn up and his excuse was that he was at Sheffield's P/P....that is my memory of that day (apart from Dan Gilkes looking like a very good prospect....nobody knowing who he was, behind the mask! LOL) I'm more than happy to be wrong again as you put it! But Bham fans were not aware that Ellis's signing was short term from the get go!!!

Do you also play your old records backwards looking for satanic voices?

This was Tolley's official statement when announcing MJJ's signing. Is the 'devil' in the detail?

I disagree! It wasn't explained at P/P day. Ellis never even turned up for P/P day.... We found out in May that Ellis was leaving. Not that it matters anymore. It will be interesting to see what happens with MJJ....again, not that it really matters, unless you've bought a season ticket based on him being a permanent signing?

I'd not heard of it either, their website mentions small business start ups. https://www.zemplerbank.com/ As for the fence, I cannot see an easy way to make it safe, maybe an upsidedown L shaped foam barrier that slotted over the upright steel bars and also covered the top of the concrete.

Looking forward to reading JJ's answer to this, only when I asked the same question on B'hams forum page, he said that it was a ridiculous/stupid question and didn't deserve an answer? Cue 'JJ' .......

Half expected Doyley to be there but Emil is a bit of a surprise. Doesn’t normally do the pre-season stuff over here. Very handy from a Witches point of view that they can both get some laps in there a week before the KOC meeting.

In the UK a coin toss is done before the match by the 2 team captains and whoever wins chooses the preprogrammed gate choices by selecting 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 in heat one... or they elect to choose the gate positions in the final race. The announcer will then say to use column A or B in the printed match programme. Does that help?

Didn’t Phil Morris mention a new track was supposed to open in a live YouTube presentation at the end of 2023 I think? I believe it was supposed to be in Northamptonshire?

Latest post from Mildenhall ****message alert***** Mildenhall co facilitators Steve Ribbons and Kieran Phillips have given a joint statement of where the current plans are working towards the return of speedway to West Row. In a shared statement they said. “The community interest company has now been set up. For those that do not know a community company means that all funds stay within the company and none are given to the owners or shareholders, thus, all monies at Mildenhall speedway stays at Mildenhall speedway”. “Next, we now have a bank account for the company and the details are below. Consequently, we now ask for those supporters who pledged money to send it by bank transfer, but please make sure you have filled in a supporters trust form which are available on our web site to go along with you donation so that we can recognise and allocate it.” “Subsequently, as you may be aware, we have an issue with the new stock car fence, which, to be fair to spedeworth is constructed for stock car meetings and not for speedway. But being built solidly is not conducive to speedway racing as speedway riders and a hard surface do not make for good bed - fellows! “ But, following an impromptu meeting after the track inspection by Mick Bates, (the speedway control Bureau track inspector) who raised a number of issues, Steve has been working on a number of solutions. Ribbons said, “I found the contact number for Champion products who make the foam blocks used at Berwick Glasgow Scunthorpe and Kings Lynn speedways, which Mick Bates said would be needed if speedway is to return to Mildenhall and that the existing air fence is now redundant plus a cover for the uprights of my own design.. a tea cosy for want of a better word. This the covers the majority of the problems along with possible fitting a slightly taller kick board to the wooden pallets of the existing safety fence to raise its height slightly”. Subsequently we are waiting on a price from the manufacturers of the foam blocks. However, this equipment comes at a cost. …A considerable thousands of pounds cost! Kieran Phillips said “ as a Mildenhall fan and a speedway fan. I passionately want this venture to succeed as we are trailblazers in the sport and although finance options are available it is a simple matter of the more cash pledges we can raise the less the company has to borrow!” “We are looking at a business model of depreciating the fence over four or more years. Consequently, it won’t have to be paid back all at once. Now is the time for all Mildenhall and all speedway supporters to step up if we want the team back. Myself, Steve and the committee believe the product we aim to bring over the next 3 years can secure us all speedway at West Row, with the changing of the race day we aim to bring the fans back in and indeed the families for the Saturday night action, running alongside that we hope to unearth new talent with our various practice sessions and training schools on a Sunday ,in time we would like to apply for championship status although that's some way off its certainly not out of the question, But obviously we need to make sure we tick all the boxes that the control bureau ask us to, too start with.” It is therefore we start fund raising now.

Steve has quoted on the website “as we had not been to the speedway stadium for a month, we were slightly taken aback by the solidity of the new Stock Car fence”. it does seem surprising to say that they had not been to the track for a month. Am I the only one who feels that if you have gone to all of this effort to return speedway, you would have visited the site regularly. I am not criticising him and I hope speedway returns to Mildenhall, but this does appear to be a major over site, unless he was given reassurances. I really hope that Mildenhall managed to get the issues sorted.

It is good to see him back on the bike of course, but a spin on his own shows us nothing let’s be honest. The real test will be when he resumes competitive action. The same can be said for Doyle also, who has been out even longer. It’ll be nearly 11 months out of racing for Doyle by the time late March comes around, and for a rider his age, it may take a while to get back in to things. I’d expect both to start pretty conservatively by their high standards but we’ll see. Having said that, the type of characters both of them are, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if they both start as if they’ve never been away either! They’re very similar in character and the way they’re seemingly made so you could argue you’d have less concern with these two then you would most other riders. It'll be interesting to watch their first meetings.

If you contact Discovery Plus via their chat they will offer you 7 months Premium (incl. TNT Sports) for £15.49 a month. It is a 1 month rolling contract so just cancel once your 7 months is up. You must redeem the code before 28th March but don't redeem before 5th March otherwise you will miss Speedway of Nations. Alternatively DMAX (EE/YouView/TalkTalk/freeview channel 39, Sky 159, Virgin 169, Freesat 147) will show highlights from every round of Speedway Grand Prix and British Premiership Speedway. I hope this helps.
