In January a number of promoters were stating they would need to have meetings early to determine what and how to move forward. Soes anybody know if there are any plans for this to be done or is it the usual "head in the shale" and see what happens in Nov/Dec ??. Certainly expect Poland to implement the no more than one other club rule and with a number of riders being injured in Denmark wonder if the PGE Ekstraliga even looks at making that more difficult in the future.

Sure it is merely coincidence that at Glasgow the selection of Bomber guarantees a few more fans to the meeting. Seems a little strange that last years British Final determines the picks. All the same wish Bomber well.

Saw the Laguta crash that was high speed. Wroclaw decimated with injuries. Stated on Twitter Kubera injury is a collarbone.

Tai is built differently. That crash was simply down to mechanical failure , defendin 2nd place easil and then engine goes exciting the turn. Tai will be back he has proved all wrong before and as long as he wishes to carry on he will do so. One thing we all know he is very strong willed and as discussed he wasn't at fault. Speedy recovery Tai.

At the worst SGP track in Prague , it is usually like racing on the M25. Always the chance of the track getting overwatered to liven the meeting up.

I thought the very same BUT there is only one meeting before the SGP on the 5th + 6th so that consideration is not viable.

If Thomsen stays fit he will get the whole series now. 4or5 replacing Lindgren and then remainder replacing Bewley.

Terrible news he was looking good in his meeting for Wroclaw and the first SGP. Get well soon Dan and a speedy recovery.

Looked like a mechanical issue but terrible crash. Hit the airfence and broke the support post. Get well soon Dan - Speedy recovery.

TOUCH !! Had a couple of bets on riders points totals and rider vs rider. Some reward but not as much of a return as Woryna. See what Prague brings lets hope Morris brings some plastic ducks so he can race them after watering the track.

Pretty decent effort to be fair from Lidsey beating Fricke x3 on his home track. Jaimon Lidsey - 3, 1, 1, 3, 1', 3, 3 = 15+1

Wroclaw Sparta meeting is live on You Tube tomorrow night.

1. Sheffield 2. Belle Vue 3. Leicester 4. Ipswich 5. Kings Lynn 6. Northampton

Interesting and honest interview. Improve the commercial side as it is in a worse situation now than ever before in terms of sponsorship. Good to hear his enthusiasm in having Cairns + Rushen down at reserve and it would make good sense to think that they will be used in promoting the sport to the local media and the targeted younger demographic. Fingers crossed on the positivity over the potential Coventry return and the future of Poole although I personally wouldn't trust any council when they are losing so much money + always at risk when a tenant and Councils looking at any potential development for a cash injection. In terms of a TV deal it will be interesting to see what happens in the future but can't see HBO or Sky Sports getting involved again with there current sporting priorities perhaps Netflix may be an option. Should be an interesting meeting on Fri with former Pirates Nicholls, King, Thomsen + Thompson back at Wimborne Road,

Poland pays the money !! TB was contracted to his Polish club well in advance of Ipswich and that is where the dollar can be earnt so naturally have to follow instructions. Tom did say on socials he was at Ipswich yesterday . As for the kevlars they look similar to last years but neat and tidy.

Read this and they dont need to announce any official club information, Just teasers on social media would be a simple way of building engagement. Putting up fixtures , different kevlars, team names etc Announcing at the same time could still be done but a feeder campaign to generate interest,tags and trending. Even a two week warning and countdown. Seems like a wasted opportunity to generate interest.

Noted the Press Day photos and the new kevlars, certainly much improved on last seasons "watch this space" version.

Great heat on You Tube and Social Media from BSN - showing what Pickering will offer at Scunny,

As "Karlito" says on the You Tube post this is a wasted opportunity to tease social media with information . Even if it was simple teasers with 4 potential team names / colours / kevlar designs etc .... Advertising the fixtures and the first meeting - just to gain traffic to the X / IG feeds. With everbody having no choice to Enjoy the Silence, the questions whether this will actually be ready in 30 days will get louder and louder.

Think for Redcar that is the best option. NK has good knowledge of UK tracks. Wising Charles Wright a speedy recovery but would guess that NK could be at Redcar for 2 months at least.

Will some riders bother without the British SGP spot ??? BSPL will make the decision on the Wild Card. Every likelyhood it will be Tom Brennan and/or Leon Flint. Well if it is all about publicity and marketing give Fri to Scott Nicholls and the Sat to Chris Harris. For services to British Speedway and the farewell tour for the former. Should guarantee some extra press coverage and then make one of the reserves Cooper Rushen / Will Cairns each night.

Did not think this would get to the starting tapes due to the costs involved. Great to see a new track and hopefully for the longterm. Good luck to the Northampton Nomads / Bees / Badgers / Foxes / Wolves / Saints Wonder what kevlar colours green black and gold / claret and white ??? Hopefully they can promote it well and build up a solid fanbase.

If Phil Morris is involved , it has probably been over watered.

Not financially viable Family of 4 living in the South - 3 adults daughter is 19 + 1 child son is 16 for 2 days in Grandstand £956 !!!! Or standing in South Stand £496 Plus trains + hotel for 2 nights. £496 tickets £463 StayCity Apartment - Save on 2 hotel rooms. (AirBnb £316) Train not available yet BUT a month earlier cheapest train £249.35 £1208.35 excluding fees. Or with Grandstand seats £1668.35. - No Thanks

Exactly - As quoted in the Speedway Star stated costs could vary between £130,000 - £200,000. So before the SCB could even issue a license it would need work on a pits area, changing rooms for riders, removing obstructions and acquiring a foam safety fence. Would be throwing £200k down the drain before the actual losses of a speedway season.
