How many riders are Glasgow signing for 2025? It seems that Uncle Tom Cobley and all are rumoured to be signing for them!! They can only (initially) sign 7 (always presuming it's 7 man teams, of course!!).

He's unlikely to say " I want to join Poole" is he? If he was at Edinburgh (or anywhere else), he'd probably say "I want to join Edinburgh (or wherever he is)". I remember a few years back when they interviewed a very young Kyle Bickley (I think he'd be about 14 at the time) on the centre green at Redcar and he was adamant he wanted to join them when he was old enough.

Can fans afford it though?? 20 meetings at £20 a meeting = £400

We can all make mistakes. That is why you can buy Tipp-ex and pencils which come with little erasers on the end of them. 7.48 - 2.5% = 7.29. Also the 2.5% might change at the next AGM - who knows??

7.48 (less Brit reduction) = 7.09 (providing it's a 5% reduction!)

It's very rarely warm at Berwick though!! 😜 😆 It it's 1H & 1A again start the season in mid-late April and try to run every 2/3 weeks, job done.

Ring the club and ask if they will delay the start for you......

That isn't strictly true either, though, is it? The "powers that be" in World Speedway have decreed a "pecking order of importance", with the UK way down that list. Riders have to abide to that. Although it's true to say the riders will be aware which team is higher on the list when they sign for other countries teams.

Surely, the riders are "the show"??

What a great advert for speedway that would be.... "meeting postponed because Poole want to host the second leg..." For Heavens sake.

Sad to hear about the death (via his wife on Facebook) of former rider Laurie Etheridge. Laurie rode for the likes of Exeter, Rayleigh, Hackney, Crayford, Sheffield, Coventry and Canterbury. He won the 1975 National League Riders Championship.

Harmless banter...... Time for the ignore button me thinks. If @admin won't do anything, it's up to us as individuals to ignore the Troll.

Which is to debate, sensibly, the subject of which the title decrees, not be a slanging match between individuals who name-call and, also, do not add one jot to the conversation (check the "Rules of the Forum").

I didn't think he could drop below the 6.00 assessed average he's on??

It would have been Sunday... and it's OFF anyway!

Taken off the BSPL website: REDCAR: Charles Wright, Jordan Jenkins (Guest), Danyon Hume (Guest), Jason Edwards, Danny King, Ben Trigger, Jake Mulford. PLYMOUTH: Drew Kemp (Guest), Alfie Bowtell, Dan Thompson, Patrick Baek, Ben Barker, Joe Thompson, Jacob Hook. SCB Referee: Graeme Hunter

That would be one (big?) change. What would the others be, then? Can't really see what more Stewart could do. How much of the team named at the start of the year was actually his for example (I don't know, which is why I ask).

Genuine question. Can you award a race after one completed lap?

So, you would award the title to Redcar, but at the same time deny punters the chance of seeing 21 heats - which they've paid for and, presumably, deny riders earning points money from that heat?

When the little 'un starts school and one day is ill, will they send Chris Harris as a 'Guest'? Just wondered! Seriously though, congrats to all concerned.

I thought it was a criminal offence in Taggart......

What's happened with the Bordernapolis?

Saw much better racing than I've ever seen at Berwick. I can count the decent meetings for entertainment I've seen at Berwick on one hand. And yes, I've seen quite a few.

What, at Berwick? What a surprise, NOT!

Shouldn't have done the interview then!
