There is a live stream available Grachan, details on Nicolai's web site here https://www.nicolaiklindt.com/

Seem to remember TNT Sports boasting "This is the home of motor sport in the UK" If they don't cover the GP's this year, then that makes a mockery of that statement!

Well I'm a Kings Lynn supporter and I've just donated. I hope they manage to get the damage sorted and maybe up their security as well?

Not so! The two meetings held last year were just as close and exciting as any of the previous NL meetings held there. Like you, I was dubious about the quality I was going to see, but it was great, so don't let that put you off.

No help was given to Mildenhall who moved heaven and earth to make their fence safe. They covered all of the metal posts with very high density foam AND have an air fence in front of that, yet it was deemed not acceptable because they didn't get the foam from the one and only recommended supplier. They ran two highly successful meetings under the NORA banner last year with no problems and had big crowds. I appreciate that rider safety is the number one priority, but when I stand at Kings Lynn where just behind the wooden fence that isn't protected by the air fence, I see a huge concrete armco barrier, I wonder how that can be safe yet Mildenhall's fence is regarded as unsafe?

The "Gold Top" is more powerful than the "Semi-Skimmed" version! Sorry, I'll get my coat.

Before he was 16 he used to come out during the interval and race against the stop watch at Lynn. At the time nobody had heard of him, but he headed out on what looked like a brand new bike, dug himself a hole at the starting gate then left the tapes like a rocket ship posting a time not too far off the track record! Everybody stopped drinking their beer and thought... what the hell did we just witness there? The rest, they say, is history.

Don't forget Split Waterman, who was twice runner up in the World Championship. After Speedway he turned to a life of crime. Gold smuggling, lots of firearms in his house including two sub machine guns and dies for forging coins. He was also implicated with the Kray twins in a plot to murder a bloke, then imprisoned in Italy for possession of half a million quids worth of forged Spanish pesetas! What a character.

I'm curious. In all my years of following Kings Lynn Speedway, I've always known it as "Saddlebow Road" However, looking on Google maps today I noticed they show it as "High Road" Even the Stars web site gives it as Saddlebow Road so I'm puzzled? According to the map, Saddlebow Road stops at the roundabout half a mile up the road then past the stadium its High Road. Anybody else noticed that?

Has Jody been announced officially in the team? I haven't seen that anywhere?

Brilliant news! Always one of my favourite riders, can't wait to see him blasting round Saddlebow Road again in 2026.

Thanks Steve. I knew it was one of the two of them, just couldn't remember which one! So many funny things happened at Saddlebow Road, but my favourite must still be the "exploding" Witches! Don't suppose you have any photos of them?

Was it Cyril, who after a dodgy refereeing decision, climbed up and polished the glass outside the referees box, saying he hoped it gave him a clearer view of the race?

The problem with Sky Sports is that if I were to add it to my existing Sky package, it costs a fortune, and I'm only interested in Speedway. Therefore 90% of their content is football which I'm not the slightest bit interested in. That makes it a non starter financially for many people.

Thanks, must have missed that whilst I was washing my hair!

So did the Conference take place today, or has it been put back to a later date? I can't seem to find out either way.

Has Richard Lawson departed? Have I missed something here? Without doubt the best rider the Stars have had this year, would be a shame to see him go if that's true.

Am I right in thinking that years ago there used to be turnstiles on the back straight leading in to the big rear car park? Would seem a simple solution to me, as at the moment you have to walk all the way round the stadium from that car park just to stand in a long queue at the box office.

Do you still have to exit the big car park from the rear through the Industrial Estate, or is it as before straight on to Saddlebow Rd? I went to a meeting at the start of the season and sat in my car for at least 15 minutes without moving, then another 10 minutes crawling in single file through the Industrial Estate which put me off going as I have a long way to travel home.

Were Lewis Kerr and Justin Sedgmen just riding poorly on purpose because they were owed money is the question. I'm afraid his performance guesting for Kings Lynn v Leicester seems to indicate a dramatic downturn in his performances, as I'm sure he would have been paid by Buster. A shame, as Lewis was always a great rider at Kings Lynn, so its painful when a rider loses form and then gets replaced in a team. Difficult to believe that only a couple of months ago he scored 16+1 at Saddlebow Road with 5 straight wins on the trot.

Its on Kings Lynn's web site.

Would you know if there is a live stream for this meeting R&R? I'd love to see how Cooper Rushen gets on.

You have to pay extra for the "Sport" part of Discovery+ app. I managed to get it for £20 a month on a 1 month rolling contract as I'm a BT Internet customer. It means I can cancel at 1 months notice with no penalty, which is what I'll do directly the Speedway season finishes.

I've been watching it on the Discovery+ app on my SkyQ box. I did find however, that often at the end of an advert the screen went totally black. After a bit of fiddling I got it back again, strange? Then after the GP was over, another advert and it went straight on to two guys talking about football. I logged out of Discovery+ than back in, to find the firework display and Dan Bewley being interviewed. Anybody else have this issue?

That's what I have done. The £20 deal is just about bearable as I enjoy the GP's and I get MotoGP as well. Still bloomin expensive when I was getting the Discovery+ app including the speedway last year as part of my Sky package for no extra cost.
