A testimonial is meant for 10 consecutive years riding so Tai's time slot does not qualify. Simple really !!!!

Pleased that Belle Vue are in the NL but bemused as to the sharing with Coventry.... I guess they are trying to avoid. 2 meetings in a week.

Leicester can certainly tap the Lakeside void and hopefully have a much more competitive team in 2017.

The Colts meetings were excellent value and also plenty of entertaining racing once the Colts got used to the track. I do hope the Colts are back under the new promotion.

Scunthorpe is a super track and regularly gives high quality entertainment. I only miss Scunthorpe when the forecast is not good.

Somerset will be a middle order team and will progress with the passage of time. Far better to get settled in the top league rather than financially overspend right at the beginning of a new era.

Speedway is a Sport but as with any sport without the entertainment value it cannot grow or sustain itself. Great to see Chris Louis stating he has been inspired by tha NSS and is now going to alter the Ipswich track so as to improve the quality of the racing.

Good luck in 2017.

Being retired helps !!!! If the weather is good and there is a meeeting that I fancy then I go....

Nice to see three locals in the team... well 3 from Cumbria anyway. Will be up to visit when I can.

Interesting side that could develop during the season One thing for sure is that the standard of racing will no doubt be top notch as usual..one of my favourite tracks.

Good side and a good track. Will visit Redcar as often as possible.

In my first two years, the National League ( top league ) contained only 7 teams and had home and away twice as well as the National trophy to fill out the fixtures. In the third year , the British league was formulated with 19 teams in one league .This was the start of Speedway moving back up and eventually peaking again in later years. We are at the present a long way from that lows of 63 and 64. To me the biggest problem is that a lot of the lower income earners are stil struggling and have very little disposable income on Speedway or other sports. Once people have more disposable income , crowds will begin to move upwards significantly. The actual product is still good.... if the promoters were more pro active then it would help.

Fricke is WU 21 champion and a Belle Vue asset. Keeping him is a must for the future of Belle Vue long term.

Nice compliment from Chris Louis : You cannot see a season at The NSS without being inspired by the quality of the racing and wanting to alter your own track to improve the racing. Perhaps he should be talking to the new Leicester promoters

Would not touch Batchelor... whatever his ave was.

Zagar hates the Leicester track. More chance of Poland withdrawing from the WTC than Matej riding for Leicester !!!

I expect Holder to be racing for Somerset

Having started Speedway in the early 60s , the Speedway Star was called " Speedway Star and Ice Hockey News " !!! As a Speedway supporter I believe the Star to be an important part of the Speedway scene which does an important job. No magazine will be perfect in any Sport . Long live the Speedway Star !!!

Good luck to the " Barrow " man !!!! Rob rode well for the Colts last year and hopefully will progress at reserve in the Championship

Barker , Wright and Garrett will be ensure a lot of entertaining racing. Worth a visit for those three alone!!!!

It would be nice if Buxton had a top no 1 in the NL. and have a competitive team again. Great admirer of Jayne Moss for maintaining a true ethos of encouraging and developing young riders.

Signed the petition. My first visit to Wimbledon was 1968 for the Internationale on the Bank Holday . Many good memories re Wimbledon.

Speedway clubs in general are struggling. Cost cutting was necessary if Speedway is to survive long term.

Klindt is Mr Inconsistency. Even in the same meeting he can ride brilliantly in one race and then like a novice for the other 3. Would not want him in my team
