The stadium has hosted motor sport in the past.

Seeing as France are emerging as a speedway nation, with a new league, SON participation and French riders riding in overseas competitions, how about the Stad de France in Paris?.

Lovely post Norbold and thank you. The McKinlay/Simmons partnership was very special...telepathic almost.

Brand new stadium being built in York...great venue and millions of visitors. Joking of course

Grrr!. Leave us old 'ammers with some vestige of the past. Hoddesdon Hammers sounds ok to me.

London Manchester Torun Los Angeles Warsaw Vancouver Montreal Brisbane Auckland Gothenburg Copenhagen Munich Paris

Seeing as there appears to be no connection to the late great West Ham, why keep the Hammers name. Nomads seems more appropriate.

Spot on Chunky.

Sorry to see Rye go. I saw my first ever meeting at Rye in 1960, watching Mike Broadbank, Geoff Mudge, Clive Hitch, Tommy Sweetman and others. Rye was a regular haunt until 1964 when West Ham reopened.

Very sorry to hear this news. Ronnie was one of my favourite riders when I first started watching speedway, though this was late in his career he still had the ability to impress. All good wishes to him.

Hmmm!...not an auspicious start to a new Test era. Lambert would have helped but GB are still lacking depth.

When did a Test Match get reduced to 15 Heats?

I remembered that 10 seconds after posting. Call it a senior moment.

I can't see Cook and Lambert both getting wildcards. Doubtful Iversen will finish top 8 so Cook needs the wildcard, assuming he doesn't finish top 8 either.

Go to Speedway Updates.

He might need to win the World U21 first.

Somebody may have mentioned this already and if so, sorry for the repeat. Large branches of Sainsbury's stock SS, at least my local does so I guess other branches do too.

Any chance of Russia for 2019?

The British League of 1965 was a great success, though as a Hammer I am biased.

Great to see a test against Australia again. I always enjoyed the tests in the 60's and 70's.

Although Lambert had a nightmare in Cardiff I do feel by next spring he could perform well at GP level. Here's hoping he qualifies.

Me too but please don't tell Norbold, seeing as how I said what a great book it is!

Make that 2 clever little s*ds!

Thanks r and r...I don't know how to include these links, being a 70 year old technophobe.

For those who have not seen this, there is a clip on youtube titled Speedway Mastermind.
