Do you know this as a fact as statements like this can be extremely damaging. From my point of view why would the stadium owners kick out a source of income. Surely you just let the speedway continue whilst you attempt to resolve the greyhound situation?

Which would be completely usual on a non event day?

I’m pretty sure that Kyle will keep his place in the Poole team

Could possibly go for Alfie Bowtell, Bastian Borke, Danyon Hume, Cameron Heeps, Jonas Knudsen, Francis Gusts, Declan or Zaine Kennedy or a new 5.00 foreign rider.

Don’t think he fits Plymouth were 0.73 under the limit so if you add that to Tobias’ average of 4.81 then they have up to 5.54 available and I believe Jacob is 5.63

Any news on the last rider?

Great to see Luke get a rising star spot, a real prospect. Good luck to him in the premiership

Charles wasn’t in the Northampton line up but as others have said Iversen was definitely in the plans so they’ll need to find a replacement now, Lidsey and Klindt have signed contracts as far as I know.

Do Scunny stream their home meetings please?

Why? Have you been to the NORA meetings, not much if any difference in standard to the national league

You’re posting pics of the track before any work has taken place and declaring it a death trap! They know what needs to be done to make it a speedway racetrack and like every other track in the country it will be subject to a full independent inspection before it’s granted a license from the SCB. It amazes me, most people said this had no chance of happening, even suggested the 6th team was made up for the BSPL press release. And yet when it is announced, rather than be happy that we have a new team in the league and we have a premiership of 6 teams, everybody can’t wait to mock it or tear it to shreds before it’s even opened. And you wonder why there isn’t a lot of people willing to run/keep a speedway track going for us?

There you go!! Well done to all involved and hopefully all those that said it’s never gonna happen will get behind the new team, track looks an awesome shape for racing so will be great to see them racing on it

I’m hearing this is very much still ON and they plan to be in the premiership this season, I know there are lots of non believers but hopefully news in the next couple of days.

Availability of required materials/fencing needed to make it a speedway circuit in time for the season start or shortly after has been one of the main things, not just the actual track but other things such as changing rooms, referees box etc etc. Ensuring there was rider availability to put out a competitive team was another. Backers and finance is there, willingness from the stadium owners is there

Not correct Dean, work going on that benefits the speedway because if it doesn’t happen in time for this season then it needs doing anyway as they will run next season

Lots of work still needs doing, the cut off is not for the work to be complete as that can carry on up until the season starts, the cut off is the final yes/no decision

Any news on whether he’s been having a spin at the various practice sessions at Scunny over the past couple of weekends?

There’s still a strong desire to make this happen, work is going on at the stadium towards it but I’m told this week is the Final cut off for a yes or no

No but to be fair you don’t get 14 riders of that standard in the national league either. Only the heat leaders

What makes you think that? James Shanes has been announced as their first heat leader

He’s talking about his previous spell at Leicester, still in the line up for this season

Why do people keep mocking the lad for this? Not all young riders have rich parents or big sponsors and I believe Nathan has to balance his riding around a full time job. When he has signed for a team he’s always been reliable and never misses meetings and gives maximum effort so maybe the offers last season just weren’t right for him financially or otherwise.

And yet none of you moaners can give a compelling argument against any of my points?

I’m sure your pint will be half full 😉
