Wishing everyone concerned at todays meeting all the success you deserve for the time and effort being put in 👍 Please let all know what's happening after the meeting!

What everyone is thinking is just so negative! On the plus side Wood and Marson will be gaining valuable track time with having 2 teams to ride for and this will only enhance their experience as lack of bike and track time does impede riding standards. Also Marson will be released mid season and if significant improvement could dislodge a Monarch Championship reserve. Coles and McGurk could also slot into the Championship reserve berth at some stage. Fundamentally it is all about track time and using the riders available.

From the lyrics of Ernie by Benny Hill Poor Ernie (Ernie) And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west One lunchtime Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four And as he leaped down from of his van Hot blood through his veins did course And he went across to Ernie's cart And he didnarf kick his horse Who's name was Trigger (Trigger) And he pulled the fastest milkcart in the west Do not think it would be quite appropriate eh!

Realistically regarding the maths, it could be:- Jack Smith 3.73, Connor Coles 3.33 or Ben Trigger 3.08. Anyone of these three would be a good investment and reliable scores.

Well with Ghost teams such as Newcastle being allowed to ride again, surely a challenge match could be arranged?

Could you elaborate? Great to see the endeavour behind the project and hopefully it will be well supported. Quite an achievement having it covered by the BBC in the first place. Well done to all concerned.

This brilliant and now they need the support of the Whole Speedway Community. With the losses of so many tracks we need to do whatever is necessary to ensure this happens. The relevant Authorities must understand that it is in their best interests to support this venture......Surely?

Saw a post on Facebook about a meeting on 26 January 2025 to discuss a potential track return this year? This is fantastic news, can anyone elaborate further?

Potentially on 26 March at Wimborne Road a spectacular clash of the titans of speedway could take place? With such a early season meeting and riders availability at a high, we could see the likes of Robert Lambert, Bartosz Zmarzlik or even Artem Laguta lining up. Now this would be spectacular and a meeting worth attending and an attendance at a record high to pay the guests?

Absolute practical solution, but remember something so simple would never work, remember this is Speedway 🤣

Who know, but!!! Ben Trigger 8.71 Kai Ward 3.58 Sam McGurk 5.56 Chad Wirtzfeld 5.20 Connor Coles 8.00 Luke Muff 2.00 Alex Spooner 2.29 35.34

MANCHESTER HOSTS GP DOUBLE – British Speedway Official Website Well what a shock?

The only nonsense on here is YOUR TROLLING. It is factual that the meeting started at 20:05, I was their with several Belle Vue season ticket holders. Up to heat 9 the weather, although raining from heat 6 had not affected the racing with scores equal at 27-27. From heat 10 onwards races directly affected by the rain with 5-1 to Belle Vue in 3 consecutive heats. In the Premiership play off the races were affected by the weather and delays in having heat 4 interval to wait for the rain. All in all a lot needs changing with the way the meetings are run and a more professional approach. Particularly the weather and timing of breaks, frequency of tractor racing and much more. The crazy part of all this is the rose tinted glasses everyone appears to look at speedway at the moment in this country. It is on its knees and all and sundry think all is well, look at Birmingham and round the boards. Time to change with avengeance and put all behind that needs leaving behind including doddering trolls

How's everyone done this season?

What absolute shambles of a meeting. Official start time 19:30 Actual tapes up 20:05 4 Heats tractor racing and interval. Then the rain came down and created havoc for all riding. Oh and do not say all the track prep prior was necessary to get it on and then proceed to delay and wait for the rain. It amazes not only me, but many ardent Belle Vue stalwarts. How a GP will go down with this type of meeting management is beyond anyone's comprehension.

The opportunities are many, but lack of participation is the prime cause. You cannot run meetings without riders! The main problem presently are costs. Can someone please let everyone know what the cost of SCB Licence is? Also the cost of ACU licence? I have been informed to ride in the British Youth Championship that you require both of the above licences. Then take into consideration machinery costs, parental support with transportation and financial fluid cash to burn.

When my original post was made it was to actually draw attention to the meeting taking place as no one had bothered to start a thread. So when some one answers the question with only half a team what is anyone supposed to think? The drivel on Sheffield website is similar to the British speedway one. No disrespect to anyone intended, but as per usual you let everyone know you know everything and better. I was their yesterday, was you?

So as per your post the team for Sheffield/Scunthorpe Team :-1. Who Knows 2. Who cares 3. Ace Pijper 4. Stene Pijper 5. Does it matter 6. Kean Dicken 7. Jamie Etherington 🤣🤡 🤣🤡 🤣🤡 🤣🤡

Well this actually looks like it could be the National League meeting of the season! Which riders will be available or even bother to turn out for Sheffield? Have they actually fielded a full team in any of their fixtures? I will be going as it is proper speedway, even if its made up on the day 🤣

Can anyone elaborate on results from this meeting please?

Used to think he could do a good job and help turn the sport around, but now just spouting bulls%it With the Tosh from Tratum and Schlieme from BSN think it would be better to get some people who actually know nothing to do the presentation, commentating and actually do it better!

So what you are saying rings true about advertisement and business acumen. If you are a speedway supporter you know about it and if you are not sod you as we do not want you. As always the sport and promotion shoots themselves in the foot. This was a great opportunity to get into Manchester and actually promote and advertise a great event, which includes children.

Pray tell, where is it stated anywhere that it will be staged before the main meeting and what time the meeting starts at?

Well with 2 days to go before this event, still no one knows the start time. It states on British Speedway website TBC. Pretty normal for both the event and staging organisations.
