Agree. I used to love interviewing Kake for the GRT Media DVD's, his smile made you want to smile! Used to talk a lot of sense, unlike some who hardly gave you a proper answer to the question (used to try and avoid those!).

I thought that was Paul Newman and Robert Redford?......

Don't forget Tero Aarnio !!

I believe a knackered shoulder stops his return from happening

Kenneth Hansen?

Kye Thomson confirmed at Edinburgh https://britishspeedway.co.uk/cab-direct-championship/thomson-returns-for-monarchs/

Oh, the irony.... !!!

What would have happened (to the Comets) if the promotion had refused to go in the Championship, especially when we know that there is now an NDL in 2024? And, was there any compensation given to them for the extra costs incurred from moving up before they really wanted to?

Yep: SCOTTISH GROUP: Berwick, Edinburgh, Glasgow NORTHERN GROUP: Redcar, Scunthorpe, Workington SOUTHERN GROUP: Oxford, Plymouth, Poole

You're not the only one!

West Auckland won the "Thomas Lipton Trophy" TWICE (1909 & 1911).

44 in February (11th)

Slightly harsh on Archie, if I may say so. as he's only had two seasons (2021 & 2022) as he missed all last season through injury.

Thanks. (tried the thank you through like thing but it isn't working for me!)

That's what happens when you try and type fast to get the info up on the BSF!!!

No 7 Ben Trigger. No 6 Jake Mulford Jason Edwards next announced. Charles Wright (confirmed!) who also says his Testimonial should be Sun 17 Mar (To be confirmed). Next announced Thomas Jorgensen. Then it's Connor Bailey next. And completing the 1-7 is Danny King.

Team to be called Middlesbrough Tigers. Number 8 is Katie Gordon. Ben Rathbone also named, so too Jamie Halder and Elliot Kelly and Archie Freeman. Danny Phillips announced and as captain. Ben Trigger last to be announced. Trigger also will ride for the Bears in the Championship. Team Manager Stuart Swales.

"'tis but a scratch!!!!!"

You might like to get your hearing tested then (no offence!).

Unless it's top riders in the individual meetings (like the Championship Riders Championship etc), fans don't seem interested (and haven't for a while now), so how that would work would be a worry. For instance I felt really sorry for Stuart Robson, as his Farewell Meeting was poorly attended and, for a servant to British Speedway, I thought he deserved better than that.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's less exciting/entertaining, though.

I think they are in it for the "long term," so I don't think they will be going anywhere soon (just my opinion, I could be wrong).

Using the Prem Lge footballer analogy, it's a bit like a former PL footballer wanting to play for a Lge Two side and not being able to because he once reached a much higher standard.

They could organise the fixtures to only ride when the footy team are away early in the speedway season (March, April and up to mid-May), then they only have to worry about August & September (the start of the 2024-25 footy season), but their season could almost be over at that point.
