I said it in the OP but worth repeating Jason Crump is class. Wish he would come to Europe and be part of the GP commentary team as an addition to Pearson and Tatum.

Gaming international quote from the article " The company says a new, modern stadium is important for its business and for the economy of Swindon. It said: “The stadium fails to offer the contemporary facilities needed to maintain its commercial viability. “Opportunities for support and investment have been lost to other sites in Swindon and competing stadiums in the region are now starting to draw trade away.” I would ask where are the competing stadiums in the region ?

A reminder that tomorrows final round from Gillman is being streamed live at the MA website here https://www.australianspeedwaychampionships.com.au/live/ Meeting starts at 9am UK time coverage starts at 8.45am UK time Saturday morning. Should be a good battle for the overall silver and bronze rostrum places( 2 from 4)- Gold looks to be in Fricke`s hands !!

No decision yet, as far as i can see about what MA are going to do about re-staging the abandoned Kurri Kurri round 1 today.

Today`s 1st round delayed by an hour because of extreme heat(43 C earlier) should be getting underway any minute- live updates from Lunchy here http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/19593/australian-championship-kurri-2020-30am

Maybe not but he would be a cracking signing for a Premiership team and in my opinion if he did would finish with a higher average than Nicki P

9th in Sweden and ahead of some decent riders in Poland- hardly garbage !!!!!

Not true at all(apart from Torun did get relegated) Poland https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/pge-ekstraliga/statystyki/2019 Sweden http://old.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Elitserien2019/Snittlista/
