I am one who has received a pass from Berwick , I consider it a great gesture from the club for my time there , I will be making a trip up to Berwick(260 miles) this year with my family so Berwick will be getting 2 extra paying people for a meeting by letting me in free , I think it should be up to the promotors to decide who if anybody gets a pass but I can only see benifit from doing it as described above , I don't have a problem with paying to get in to watch speedway , I get in free at a couple of other tracks although I do pay at another even though I am allowed in free , on the Berwick offer , how many will actually take up the offer ? 10% ? , it will cost the promotion nothing but they will gain if that rider brings friends and family along , maybe the Bspa could make a limit of say 25 league meetings qualify' for a pass and at least then you know if you are allowed or not , I'm not really bothered if I got a pass or not I will still attend but I feel very flattered by the offer from Berwick and will be making a visit there at least once this year because of it

Sorry mate sold about an hour ago

For me it's going to be NKI or Nicki but I will put a few £ on bomber

yes most do but I've recently brought a weslake from 1979 and a GM from 1992 and neither had been run since and inside they were solid because the castor oil had been left in and gone hard basically eating the parts

Caster oil is still used in speedway but not castrol so much , it's mainly rock, beeline or Morris and a few others , castor oils problem as I have found out recently since restoring old bikes is that if it sits for years without use it goes hard and ruins the parts of the engine

I'm trying to express my views as a fan and the reason I oppose so many things that the Bspa/SCB introduce is because they are no good but it dosent really matter if I like them or not the fact is 1000s have deserted the sport over the last few years and then we get revolutionary ideas like changing a helmet colour because "we have listened to the fans" . I know I boil the piss of promoters with my views because some have told me so but that doesn't make me wrong , I don't have a problem with anybody making money out of the sport as long as they put something back in , I know promoters put a lot back in but they won't speculate to acumulate (understandable maybe) but until it happens the sport won't go anywhere and all their decisions are short term plaster over ideas instead of future prospect , the sport needs to go one of two ways , either make it like F1 and all money and glamour with someone like Bernie exclestone at the helm and alienate its current fan base but apeal to a new breed of fan or it needs to take s step back to the garden shed type sport it has always been and go that that root making the sport cheaper for riders and fans and try to attract the former fans back who have become fed up with the current version of the sport which has become too expensive for itself and has a bit of "its a knockout" feel about it with stupid rules and formats, I would prefer the step back because to me that's what speedways apeal is and has always been but whichever way it goes we can't stay as we are

thanks for kinds words lol ,nobody is fleecing me , I have done ok out of speedway I only have a small finacial intrest in speedway and that with my intrest is ending because it has just worn me down to the point where I just don't care anymore

, it's not just promotors making money but while the sport is on deaths door some are sitting on the Ivory towers making a good living at it , I apreciate that it's not everyone , I know one person who is making nothing in it and to be honest I think it's taking toll on his health but he won't walk away

Stoke and Swindon and others , how many years was Leigh Adams and others owed money? and Swindon still run, clubs lose money , promotors don't , apart from his reputation in speedway the ex Birmingham promotor is still doing ok for himself and isn't going to be appearing on the next series of Benifit St anytime soon

I believe he is doing it for travel expenses only

I wasn't there so I have only heard second hand account but I believe they rode ok but there was some issues with vibration

it's already been done by riders far better than me in Poland

The 2valve that jawa are producing is not like the old one from the 70s , it looks similar to the current model , I'm not sure why it's 570cc , it was explained to me , something to do with future environmental issues ? but with cooperation from all countries this could be the way to make speedway about the rider again and not about the tuner which sadly it is becoming

I have been to an AGM , you pitch an idea that would be good for speedway but the rewards are further down the line you will get nowhere , put an idea that's instant £s in promotors pockets and it's done deal ,I suppose it's understanderble but it's not helping the sport , contary to what people say there is plenty of money in speedway for the lucky few

the fact that it is only 2 valve mean it won't rev as hard and if nothing else your saving on the price of 2 valves and 2 springs and that's a saving of £150 straight away , jawa are making a 570cc version , with some input from the right people parts can be made for durability and all this can be done at the right price and the proper control from SCB as to parts and tuning through holomagation , unfortunately greed and a selfishness means it won't happen

Buts it's not to small for jawa who already produce a 2valve ice racing engine in either upright or laydown that has been adapted and tested for speedway the answer is already there in front of our very eyes ,shame we are to stubborn or stupid to see it
