  3. I know Bewley hasn’t been brilliant tonight but can’t be leaving him out in a big heat like that.

  4. It seems to have been for weeks now that only I am available on a Saturday night to update nowadays which I would have done tonight but after been treated pathetically by 2 certain individuals on the site who I actually considered as friends before the incident. I've now given up volunteering to update after over 20 years of doing it.

  6. We have no restrictions when we race. Both Clubs have to agree to a date that suits both , lets see what happens first before wanting to claim a two legged tie after one leg ffs.

  7. Nagel was unavailable today but that didn't stop Glasgow. Next free Friday is 3rd October. Not sure they will let Glasgow put it off for a month for a semi final. Be different if it was a final. I guess if they can't organise a fixture we'll just have to be put through after one leg. We do it for Oxford.

  9. I would put Bewley into 14. He's not had the best night, but he is capable of beating Dudek in a big heat. Kowalski is not.

  12. Just registered my support for Swindon Speedway! Good luck! Moreover, I read some of the comments that object and there are some right tools in this world aren’t there 😂 someone wrote, the practise sessions will be loud and noise pollution, hmmm when did England have practise sessions 😂 someone else wrote the travellers site will be impacted… are we actually putting travellers before locals who want to see speedway… they are travellers… they can 1. Travel somewhere else. 2. Choose to live in a house and stop avoiding council tax. These must be the same numptys that say if you are against immigration you are racist 😂

  13. So after 4 seasons as a Director & Shareholder that's my time with Birmingham Speedway at an end. An eventful, at times stressful, at times farcical and at times enjoyable experience! A huge thanks to the small but loyal Brummie fanbase that put up with season after season of under performing teams, you deserved better! Full credit and my upmost respect to Nigel Tolley, he wasn't far short with the figures he quoted in the recent speedway star interview with what he invested in the club (there was also a six figure investment from other shareholders during the period I must add). Nigel is as mad as a (top) hatter, but I really like the guy. My only criticism of him (and he knows this, I told him enough times) is that he allowed himself to be influenced by others who failed to deliver for the club! Seeing the day to day finances and operations of the a Championship and then Premiership club is a real eye opener, so a massive thanks to Financial Director Tracey Smith, who somehow managed to juggle the finances to keep everyone happy (most of the time) a truly lovely lady, she has been the glue in a massively disjointed operation, which would have fallen apart without her. Some priceless moments over the 4 years on the management zoom meetings / race nights - I could write a book! You also learn a lot about riders, some smashing chaps around Paco Castagna (legend) Freddie Lindgren, Tobi M, Leon Flint, Sam Hagon, Jason Edwards, Thompson twins all really good guys! No comment about some mind Made some great friends, I will miss Guesty, Dave Rowe, Pete & Dan Ballinger, Chris Adams, the guys and girls from the supporters club and fellow shareholders Steven, Jake and Vic. Such a shame that Birmingham Speedway is no more, but without Nigel it wouldn't have got into 2023 let alone 2025 and for that alone he deserves the respect of those who knock him! Give us a B.....!

  18. Chris Julian (far left) rode for Plymouth back in the 60's together with his namesake Chris Blewett (third from right). They were both West Country lads although Blewett was born in Canada. They were known as fierce rivals but apparently it was all show and behind the scenes they were good mates.

  19. I copy and pasted what was suggested, I onto read the comments from others and left it at that. Foxhall isn’t that bad and I live 1 km away from the track and they operate many weekends, outside in the garden yes it can be heard but the speedway isn’t half as loud as 20 cars at the same time. People just don’t like change and that’s fact, same as when people say happy for people to come to the country, then ask them to take one in their house and it’s a closed subject.

  20. One of the problems to be overcome is that the application is not just for a speedway track that might operate, say, 20 times a year, for a couple of hours - it's for a motorsport park with speedway and karting, and as far as I can see, no information about the potential hours of operation is in the application. On that basis, and to be fair to the locals, the noise may well be an irritant. I don't think some of the responses on open forums are putting speedway in a good light. I think we'd do well as a community to focus on responding to the application using the template provided, and refain from being abusive to people who hold a different view. Beat them with planning arguments, not abuse.

  22. It’s Lublin who don’t have the money to continue to pay the riders too. I’ve posted before that the Polish cities give money to speedway / football and Lublin football is doing better so is getting a bigger split and Lublin were never going to keep spending crazy money every year (much like Man city). Kubera is leaving for more money at Falubaz and to be out of Zmarzlik’s shadow. Holder leaving for Gorzow, if they stay up! - this is almost a swap for Vaculik who was on big money in Gorzow but they didn’t offer him another contract the same money so he looked elsewhere. Przyjemski is highly likely going back to his home club Bydgoszcz. Also remember rules are looking to change for 2026 in Polish Zuzel for that both juniors do not have to be Polish but you must have 4 Polish riders in total, so everyone is moving clubs to suit the rules.

  25. Yeah this is right just checked but anyone can in 14: Each team may nominate any two riders for Heat 14, except those participating in Heat 15. The two highest scoring riders from each team (reserves excepted) may only ride in Heat 15. The scores from all rides are counted but bonus points are not included. A rider in this heat may only be replaced by a reserve except when declared injured by the track medical officer

  26. Realise I'm putting pressure on them but I believe both Zischke and Blodorn will eventually come to the party for BV. in the play offs. It could be argued that they need to if the team are to progress to the final but I have a sneaking suspicion they will defo play their part. Here's hoping we have six keenly contested meetings over the next three weeks and as many on here have already said, it's very close to call. My prediction is a BV v Sheffield final.

  29. Yes, I submitted my comments based on the template as well. The only point I am making is that the site is proposed to have karting in addition to speedway, and so it is pointless to try to defend noise concerns simply by saying, as others have, speedway will only be for 2 hours a few times a year. On one Facebook page a local councillor has been called a 'c**t' for stating his objections, and told he is wrong when he says activity will be more than just a few speedway meetings. The best way to persuade the councillor is to use planning arguments to knock down his concerns, not abuse, whether we agree with him or not

  35. If you could get Poole and Glasgow to join the "Super League" then that would be eight teams, (if all current ones stay in the top league).. Just 40 riders needed, at five per team, currently 85 ride in the two top leagues.. These eight can then ride in "Div 2" (if they want to), meaning the likes of Glasgow can still run at a lower level against "local rivals", and Poole can race on Wednesday's still... Utopia would be a 14 team Div 2, ran at Championship (ish), level, with a decent few KO Cup rounds, with the top four from the 14 team league meeting in the play offs... 20 ish meetings per season, if all teams ran in Div 2, and all done following the Danish model, meaning plenty of rides for the riders, and, given logistics, plenty of guest opportunities too for them as the season progresses... Make the "Super League" guest free, and sell it as the pinnacle of the sport, with credibility and integrity...
