  1. It is time for Morris to step up as. No 1. I hope Swindon give him his chance
  2. If the BT deal is as poor as has been suggested the one 8 point man is a means of reducing the wage bill overall.
  3. 1 good announcer is far better than an announcer and a poor presenter who ends up irritating the majority of fans. Bernard Tennant was a great announcer at Belle Vue.... clear precise and on the ball
  4. Well if they run they need a good top two.
  5. Good top 5. Hope crowds improve now they are back on Friday.
  6. Leicester are in a win win situation. They get a rent for the day and Coventry cover the rest
  7. I do hope that Somerset can now sign a genuine no 1 for 2018. Good luck next year.
  8. Pearson is waste of space as a commentator. Needs someone with authority and who has the respect of the public
  9. The National League is definitely the poor relation of the sport and is not treated equally. Nothing appears to have been done re clashes between Championship and National League whereby once again the NL team bows down and has multiple guests in a league match.
  10. Will the tv coverage start at the beginning of the season or only the latter half of the season ?
  11. Try to avoid..... No chance in hell of me going to Stoke until the comedians running Stoke sell up and let someone else take the Speedway on
  12. Now there are fixed nights won’t Tai be back on a nice low average ?? He said he would not be back unless there was a fixed night policy.
  13. Speedway was a good earner for Dave in the early days. I would say that his Football travels far exceeded his Speedway travels over the years. He will be missed by many
  14. Takings from stock cars go a long way to help keep Speedway going at Scunthorpe.
  15. Chapman stated in the star a few weeks ago that all non premier clubs who ride on Monday and Thursday had agreed to move nights.
  16. When Cradley tried riding at Stoke , it did not work out due to asking supporters to travel too much for home matches. If it were one or possibly two years with the knowledge of a new track in Coventry then it may be financially viable. Hope the Coventry fans are happy with the news
  17. THJ WAS very poor when I saw him...unless he was under instruction to lower his ave for 2018
  18. It greatly saddens me to see a Belle Vue legend like Peter in a position where he will not come to Belle Vue. Next year is Belle vue’s 90 th Anniversary on July 28th. It would be marvellous if this magnificent achievement were to be recognised with the old riders appearing at the proposed anniversary meeting... including Peter Collins , Chris Morton , Alan Wilkinson and a whole host of ex Belle Vue riders. I take no sides on the cause of the problem.... just hope that it can be resolved. Let us not forget that 2018 is The Aces 91st consecutive season....unparalleled anywhere in the world I would imagine.
  19. Sincerely hope Peterborough are riding in 2018.
  20. I would be delighted to see the end of the tactical ride in2018.
  21. Fixed pay scales are a good idea..... but the promoters will break the rules or fiddle their way round them. Hans Nielsen was supposedly on a fixed pay scale for Coventry.... moneys made up by a fake sponsor if I remember rightly.
  22. I started watching Speedway in 1963 and when the British League started in 1965 it was the start of a new successful era. That was a long time ago and as much as I would like to see one big league again, this is definitely not the time. Firstly we do not have enough riders for one league and secondly some of the lower Championship sides would not be able to cope financially in one big league... even if there were enough riders. Fixed nights for the top league are without a doubt a step in the right direction in order to stop all of the missing riders due to clashes with other matches. The key part for me is how many teams in the Premier League next year ?..... plenty of guessing going on but not long to find out
