I was there too, over the moon that it's back. Probably the healthiest crowd I've ever seen which was lovely to see. It was bitterly cold though with a relentless freezing wind that just didn't give up. Me and my dad had to leave after heat 12 because the cold won, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back for more. For those who are already moaning about it or have negative comments to make, please keep them to yourselves. The people that have poured their hearts and souls into brining Buxton back from the dead would be hurt to see this, and we should be supporting new tracks coming into the sport, no matter what your opinions are.

The BSPA just posted a statement that follows: "𝗦𝗖𝗕 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧: 𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 📋 Please note for the 2026 season, riders’ Personal Accident Insurance is now covered by their Federation Licence (e.g – ACU Licence holders insured by the ACU), and not with Attis via the BSP Ltd." Very interesting that it states" NOW" and not "as of the beginning of the season" - so what does that mean to Charles Wright and Tobi? Christ it's like pulling teeth nowadays.

I figured you would be the guy to know. Massive F up that they didn't tell anyone if true! Doubt it'll get sorted now the season has started but we can hope 🫣

Is he back in again though? I took that comment as tongue in cheek.

Just saw this from Ben Barker on Facebook following what happened to Tobias Thomsen (hope he gets better soon): "Really wish tobias a speedy recovery... horrible timing for any accident but to find out we are not insured by the bspl like we have been for the last 30years that I remember... probably get fined for this but as captain of my team this needs addressing... please share this post so this gets addressed and sorted ASAP" I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs of this, so hoping someone in the know can shed some light on it, but it sounds pretty bad if the BSPL have moved the goalposts and not told the riders...

Kind of on topic but I read recently that Abi Stephens wasn't hosting any speedway this year, so we could see an even more stripped back GP series with just Kelvin and Louis hosting perhaps. I'll admit I was never keen on Abi, but I can't knock her knowledge or enthusiasm.

I stopped listening to it midway through last year. It was actually very good and very well put together, I just lost interest in it to be honest.

It's to help the teams, press agencies, the BSPA etc get content they can use in their social media posts. It is a useful resource to be fair. The BSPA used interviews from the press day to pad out the British Speedway Podcast throughout the season for one example.

Chance would be a fine thing. The season starts in 13 days 😆

I don't think one will happen this year with how late Northampton are to the party. No announcements as to who is riding for them, no team name, so probably don't even have team suits made yet (if they're even going to have any)

The application to build on the stadium has been rejected. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1A5dPxTP8J Not out of the woods yet, but this is a good start.

This is literally the same as posting a picture of a field before the new Workington track was laid and saying "it's a bit bumpy at the new Worky track" 🤣

Actually a pretty decent team if it does!

For a team who are competing in the top league in the UK, this image is very poor. I'd have thought now Mayfield are in charge they'd have a decent graphic designer at hand but clearly not 😂
