Not a happy night for 1 Mildenhall rider who was sacked immediately after the meeting!!!!!!!!!

Some really negative posts on here, probably from supporters who think they are up to date, but are detached from reality. People speaking about big wide tracks in Poland and the throttle jockeys, with no one under 20 on the British radar. REALLY !!!! With the possible expansion of the Polish League, this is a great opportunity for British Speedway. How`s that you are wondering? Both Germany and Latvia have a team in the Polish League, why not a British one? This would help develop our young riders along with their foreign young rivals of similar talent. A couple of Premier League tracks are big and wide enough and sufficient Stadium facilities to do this. Firstly and foremost there is a market out their to attract a new and younger audience. To move forward you must invest in the future. Wait a minute who is going to take such a risk financially, well with everyone always slating greedy promoters for taking all and giving nothing back. Potentially the gains outweigh the losses. He who dares wins. Waiting in anticipation of all and sundry slaters, roll up roll up !!!!!!!!!!!

A good watch and correct analysis. The main mitigating factor for me, (beside the above video), is no promoting of the sport in the towns and cities where it is staged, period.

Being not too good at pasting links, but surely someone will be able to do it. Has anyone seen Belle Vue Colts, Paul Bowen basic analysis of what's wrong with speedway on Youtube. A good watch and analysis. The main mitigating factor for me is no promoting of the sport in the towns and cities where it is staged, period.

It is not hard to understand how fickle speedway fans are in the last several posts. The amount of posts made by several of the last posters indicate a potential knowledge and understanding of how speedway works. But hey stupid, I tell myself, same old criticism ethics that are in general life today. If posters had their way, by end of the season all the rising stars in the programme would be gone as the posters would have demanded the next one to be slayed. Slay them early so the next one can visit the guillotine........................eventually no one is left.

Much appreciated screm

Who is the Newcastle team manager?

Are both matches being live streamed this evening? Berwick are missing a wind fall if not as lots of speedway starved fanatics out here hoping it is.

Unfortunately nothing but buffering issues for me, maybe as south of Scotland. The only thing that I can recommend is that an announcer gives details of each heat, irrespective of the commentators. Had the pleasure of seeing 1 full race in 8 heats and a superb ride by George Rothery, definitely one to watch.

Has the stream started yet, logged in but nothing doing?

1. Dan Gilkes 8.00 2. Nathan Ablitt 3.00 3. Joe Lawlor 7.91 4.Archie Freeman 3.00 5. Harry Mcgurk 3.00 6. Jake Mulford 3.00 7. Sam Mcgurk 3.00 Total: 30.91 A bold bid here, but a spirited team, all full of potential and every rider can beat anyone on their day. Stay safe boys and enjoy the season.

Probably be brothers riding for the Colts at 6 & 7

Looking at the riders Belle Vue would possibly run with, think it is more about convenient days when they are all available from other team commitments.

Think it was one of the reasons, but who are the ones left?

Connor Bailey not on the list?

Just noticed that Connor Bailey has a 3 star rating, is this due to him being considered a good future star above several riders with 2 stars who have been around a long time? Seems like several riders like Jamie Halder and a few others don't appear on the list. Any particular reasons?

Experience relates to the top 3 and the youth and future of British Speedway the bottom end. 1. Tai Woffinden 2. Dan Bewley 3. Robert Lambert 4. Drew Kemp 5. Dan Gilkes 6. Jordan Palin 7. Dan Thompson 8. Joe Thompson You can only move forward with bringing in youngsters. Once upon a time a Manchester United fan told me and gosh did they move forward before backwards again with older players.

A new reader direction is the same as a new spectators adventure to see their first speedway meeting. Being able to relate to what's happening at other tracks and seeing how speedways history is so vast. Nothing ventured in any direction is the same as saying its dead and don`t bother. As mentioned it is getting better, but needs much much more coverage, particularly with the latest stars emerging. I think it is quite surprising that so many people do not realise how many tracks already do this, or are not informed as it is not covered by the Star!

A great read for the older end, but is it not time to move it forward towards the younger generation to be able to evolve and maintain its great status as the best speedway magazine in the world? With the British Youth Championships growing year on year, surely it is time to follow it more in depth and gain a new reader direction? All the families and friends of all the new riders emerging from as young as 7 years old would love to follow their progress and what better place than in the Star

Jumping at the opportunity to ride anywhere abroad is commendable and the riders must have a high degree of talent to be offered places/contracts. Personally I wish them every success. Some riders are quite content with riding in the UK and have no desire to take the opportunities offered abroad. But at the bottom end of the scale, they have to start somewhere and learn. Some riders have progressed to higher levels by blowing cobwebs away at Leicester and attending odd training schools, so please don't knock these as riders do benefit from them.

Does it matter? The boys are committed to doing their best and not like footballers will do anything for success. Think its people like you who think it must be free Success is not free and demands dedication Poor call, ring your neck

I suppose You know all the family bubbles at Scunthorpe then? I for one would kick out idiots like you who want to destroy any return to normality? What is your name and tell everyone that we are trying to get back to normality without being objective. Jog on or be constructive with your criticism of all and sundry

The only way forward is to be constructive with your criticism. Some excellent posts on this thread, trying to show a way forward. Most promoters will listen, but the arrogance of spectators about past halcyon days of speedway are not interesting. We now live in a completely different era and have to address present issues, not resurrect old ones. Newcastle Speedway this season, would have been a pleasure to visit. All the hard work behind the scenes would have reaped huge benefits. For once look at the positives as they are few, but a way forward.

Why? If you watched the following heat after the crash, Laguta was in same position as Thomsen and he had to shut off to prevent same accident. Committed, careless or reckless Laguta was not, but calculated he was by slowing down.

Tracks great, just a lot of bad riders who wouldn't command a team place in a lot of Championship sides
