When a Lockdown was announced it should be for everybody except essential workers.Sport certainly does not come into that category whatever way you look at it.

Ove Fundin and Billy Hamill share my Birthday 23rd May ,don’t know who told them though

His story in the SS this week is a bit weak considering he is still in Country.Sounds really bitter that Fricke got the pick for GP challenge.Got an attitude problem IMO.

They must be desperate.Although Polish tracks suit his style.

Who was the only 14st jockey to ride a Derby Winner ?

That’s a fair point, now that he’s established himself in Poland Lidsey might give GB a miss.Riding here is low on the agenda for most of the top men.

Dodgy Speedway Promotions- never.!!!!!. Hope it all works out ok for Rob Grant and Newcastle though.

Dick “Babbles” Barrie.

He was on trial for worse offences and found guilty!!! Just because he wasn’t caught at Speedway means nothing.Never turned up when when on them IMO.Total Waster.

Was Tam Bagley not a cycle speedway guy before he had ago a speedway?

I did not get a specific E-mail for refunds, the information was in the E-mail telling you it had been cancelled ,they also said you would get further information confirming new date and that you would have the option for a refund if you wanted one.!! I suggest your re -read the EMail regarding cancellation ,apart from length of time I have had no problem getting a refund.!!

Don’t think people on here are exaggerating regarding his behaviour and missing meetings.He done some pretty strange things IMO.Cant remember the rider but I was at a meeting where he “injured his back “ unloading his bike in similar circumstances.

I can remember that incident at Poole ,think McMillan checked the outlet of the carb and said it was oversize .Dont think he was allowed to use it.Can’t remember the final outcome though.

He probably stole it.Did he not steal some of Joe Screens gear at one time.(could be wrong but thought I read it somewhere).

The email telling you it was cancelled had the details. To receive a refund E-mail: Speedway @img.com and include your order number (order no for tickets).Takes between 30-45 days. I applied on 23 sept and received it this week.

Total liability on track most of the time .IMO .Think we can guess why.

He was a total waster in his early teens and had history, got a good chance to sort himself out.Unfortunately never took it.

Think the Star have done a great job in difficult circumstances,good coverage and articles of Polish speedway.While the quality of the paper is not up to much it’s understandable in these hard times.Well Done.

They should throw away the key,hopefully that’s the last we see him on track.

Have just received refund for SON tickets.

Agree 100%.

Buy a bike ,and a Tin of Castrol R run it in the living room while watching speedway,satisfaction .

Not sure of all the reason,but obviously you could recycle the if you fitted a oil pump, more to do with cost and for the amount of oil used( very little)By draining oil you can see whether there is much metal deposits in it.Think the strain on bearings and cylinder are huge.Like you say you could have Speedway engine in a road bike with a oil pump fitted.

They a not designed to “burn” oil though.
