I'm starting to wonder if we're not making any announcements on this meeting because it's going to be a 'behind closed doors' event. If not, this is a meeting our promotion should be jumping up and down about. People prefer team over individual meetings and there is genuine class in this one and there will be people that will come from miles around I'm sure.

Correct, not since the Stars last visited. It could look like Wembley but it will always be a poop hole to me just like the Showground

Just so you know, there is no age restriction that I know of. Lewis Blackbird will be 27 come the start of the season

Absolutely, you'll never catch me in that poop hole unless the Stars team are the visitors

This is a strange one for me. Isn't Lambert old enough to race everywhere else except the UK? This fixture will be set up under Polish regulations I should imagine and not part of the BSPA. If that is the case he should be eligible for this and I agree, he would be stronger against what's available for that Polish team I can't remember how to spell. (Zielona Gora (copy paste from above ))

Can I ask which track that was? I'm sure we (King's Lynn) allow free entry to registered carer's

Most tracks normally price disability entrances as concessions but if a helper is required they are usually free entrants I believe

I'm with you on this one. It's a "no frills" line up just solid. Passing will be at a premium this year.

My understanding was that the council were paying for the construction and Belle Vue were to pay a fee of around £1.5m back to the Council over 50 years + yearly rent or something?? The builders will be receiving their money straight after completion so that won't be the hold up

I thread isn't about hate. It's about rider's you just couldn't connect with. It's a very different meaning

If the SGP's are only netting BSI £1.5m a year profit that is poor. Their business director should be fired but to the general public that seems to be a reasonable amount

Interesting thread and I have quite a long list. These are what I can think of now Ryan Sullivan Ryan Fisher Gary Havelock Tomasz Gollob Darcy Ward Chris Harris Mario Jirout Kris Kasprzak David Norris Scott Nicholls Magnus Zetterstrom Ben Barker Andre Compton Martin Dugard Joe Haines Jerran Hart Eddie Kennett Nigel Sadler

Just from statistics of my mates the Cardiff GP does nothing for British Speedway. I have 4 mates that I use to go to speedway with when at school, they now only do Cardiff. They see it as a one off spectacle just like MotoGP and F1. I now go to Cardiff with my Mrs, Mum, Dad, Sister, Brother In Law and 4 Nephews. Only 1 of my nephews, my Dad and me attend King's Lynn week in week out. So personally, the stats don't add up that the Cardiff GP supports British Speedway.

You happy with that choice then?

There certainly is. Some got severe stiffy's when they'd seen him mention Aus as "home" while racing a sprint car.

Nigel Pearson has just announced new 5 year deal for speedway on SkySports

Ohhhhhhhhh, the haters are gonna love this Tai Woffinden is the new GB Team captain Congratulations fella

Jeez TWK. First you wish some bird 'you fancy' looks like George Clooney, now you want to get your leg over with Phil Rising. When you actually gonna tell us the truth? This is actually like waiting for the Sky deal announcement

I'll keep it short:- The last thing Speedway needs is published negativity

And your defence is for exactly the same reason.

NeilWatson, I see there's a date left open on the 25th March. Any chance a friendly fixture with us could be put together for this one? Need the Derby fix

What would be a good year for Great Britain? For me, regardless of the results it will be the team manager & riders showing passion, aggression, anger, pride etc. Even if they finish last at King's Lynn I just want to know they care unlike previous years. That alone is improvement and Rosco is the right man to bring it Has my backing 100%

I've always said, once speedway hits £20 per adult admission I'll stop attending regardless of how much I love my club. It's difficult to justify the prices now, especially to newbies. The pricing of speedway at the moment is all about sustainability rather than looking for growth. British Speedway need to keep the pricing as it is for the next 5-7 years as income v expenditure is an ever decreasing margin. The BSPA at the moment are getting things just about right, protecting costs and pricing over none sustainable quality of riders. In my opinion, British Speedway will only start a growth pattern once the"big boys" aren't required and we get back to breeding our own. I'm a firm believe that everything goes round in circles and over the next 5-7 years, if the BSPA get it right speedway will return as a know rather than a forgotten support but patience is required. Our time will come, I believe

I'm hearing that speedway is going to be on the Fantasy channel. Guaranteed quality team riding

My most favourite closed tracks are King's Lynn's Norfolk Arena, Peterborough's Showground and Sheffield's Owlerton Stadium but it won't be long until March now when they're up and running as normal
