PHILIPRISING

BELIEVE that last year's tyres are now permitted. Another knee-jerk decision by the BSPA that has backfired.

DON'T know who she is but quite possibly. BSI have two female interviewers lined up for the SGP this year.

THANKS ... will pass on to our distribution company

EXPECT less interviews during the meeting, more analysis at the end, time permitting.

WE shall be adding more features in the near future.

WHAT about the Pawlicki brothers for Poland?

NOT doing the SGPs ... just the domestic stuff.

STEVE Brandon will be doing interviews although the format of the coverage will be different too Sky. Natalie will present ...

THANKS guys ... good to know

DON'T think she will be involved in the domestic meetings

SINCE changing the method by which Speedway Xtra is loaded onto the web, our free online magazine should now be available right across the digital spectrum, including laptops, notepads, smartphones, etc no matter what operating system they use. Each week Xtra includes a round-up of speedway news from the BSPA and BSI (SGP and SWC), features that because of space constraints have not been included in Speedway Star and a special section showcasing the best of speedway photography which looks stunning in a digital version. Take a look now at… http://content.yudu.com/libraryHtml/A42ugi/xtra254April82017/reader.html?refid=130161&refUrl=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.speedwaystar.net%252Fxtra I know that previously some people have had difficulty accessing this and would be curious to know whether that is still the case.

WOULDN'T argue with that. Not the most dynamic personality or exciting rider to watch necessarily but his record in the SGP underlines his potential. It's a confidence thing with Kenneth, as it is with most, and when he's on a high he is World class.

OR you can call 020-83351113

UNFORTUNATELY our USA guy missed the print deadline ...

IN what way?

DIDN'T want to make it too easy Will investigate... THANK you. Would love to take some credit but I keep out of the way these days.

ANY problems call 020-83351113

APART from exposure, a great day out for 40,000 plus fans and a fee paid to the BSPA ...

I NEVER said Wroclaw would be a substitute for Warsaw and with Torun signing a new three-year deal have to think that Gorzow might be vulnerable.

WHY don't we wait and see what Pavel Ondrasik has to say. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. Crowds have been good of late and should be again this year with the line-up that is in offer, especially with the ever-popular Emil Sayfutdinov in the ranks. It was in Prague, of course, that he burst onto the international scene with a victory in his first SGP.

TELL us more ...

VERY much doubt it. POSSIBLY Tim but not sure any stadium in Stockholm is viable these days.

DON'T think they will have trouble proving that they were unaware of what was used as the sub-base on turns three and four.

CANNOT see Stockholm continuing beyond this year. Current state of Swedish speedway remains a big issue and without the pulling power of some star names - what a difference Tony R Rickardsson in his prime would make - the Friends Arena isn't viable. Think you can safely add Warsaw to the list above, new stadiums in Poland including the revamped Wroclaw could come into the equation. Might even be two in Denmark again.

LOTS off activity at the stadium but I'm told the telephone lines were only reconnected very recently and they now have internet there as well. Has been making life difficult. Also, MCC have taken over some of the office space so working conditions for others a little cramped. They are very keen to revamp their website, will have top speedway journo Richard Frost writing a blog and Eddie Garvey, as good a speedway photographer as there is, will be back on board supplying photos to the Manchester Evening News.
