  1. The N.N.N.S. was built because the council and the M.P. was all for it (i think I'm right) this is not the case in most other Towns/cities.
  2. I don't think there will be any Speedway in G/B this year but if there is there will be several teams wanting riders as several more like Lambert will be optioning to ride only in Europe for several reasons And all the Swindon riders will soon find other teams. Jason Doyle lives/lived in Norwich and is Married / Partner to a nurse from the the N/N Hospital he would be a good target to fill Roberts shoes But we have a long way to. Teams could be all in one League.....Average points cut money`points money cut WHO KNOWS // on
  3. Lets go back to Speedway which the casual watcher can understand (and also some supporters) LETS HAVE ONLY 3 POINTS For a win 2 for 2nd 1 for third No B/W or TAC subs in ALL meetings THE GRAND PRIX only the 5 rides to count to the total at the end. WORLD TEAM CUP Only the total points scored for each team after the lasft meeting No 4 3 2 points CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS only then top scorer only run-off if 2nd or 3rd needed. THE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS who ever finishing top. FALSE STARTS ALL BACK TO START No stopping at pits (unless an injury etc) CONCRETE OR TARMAC STARTING AREA To cut out "gardening" This will never happen `mores the pity.
  4. I know nothing about Polish T/V but I would like to take a guess that they get better coverage on their sports programmes than the sports channels in this country all they think about is Football which is upper cr@p when you think about it football is shown 24/7 no wonder it is popular But what it is 20 men/women running up the field and back again for 90 mins and in most cases gaining nothing,
  5. Perhaps the enforsed 2020 season might have a good time to do alteration to the saddlebow track if anything was needed (like widening the bends or making them higher) who knows.but with them having Stock Cars who were able to run it wouldn't have been possible and the income was needed.and with them running over the winter perhaps it could be done now if not many meeting have been programmed.
  6. Football should not have any Government because if they can run a full season of matches and not get a penny in through the gate and the money that many of the Stars are said to getting for playing Or are they playing for next to nothing I DOUBT IT. The top clubs must be rolling in cash.
  7. Just a thought about banning riders from riding for teams in other countries. i was under †he inpression that you coudnt stop a rider from earning a living and that riders were Free /Lance. or have it got it wrong ??
  8. Granted but if he does ride in England i m sure it will for Kings Lynn.
  9. Kings Lynn must be a good club/promoter to ride for as all of last seasons top 6 have all said they want to be back of 2021. only 1 missing is the No 7 the German but he never rode for them..would be interested. to know whether he too would like to join them.
  10. You can't expect Speedway Promoters to pay out thousands of pounds to improve toilets and other things when they rent the Stadium it must be at least up to the owners or 50/50 How many tracks are owned by their promoters. not many even Peterborough is owned by others althoaugh they only have Speedway Racing at that track.
  11. Sport in Poland is run by the government (it least it was last time i heard) and whatever supporters want they get where as in this country it was surended to the footlball mafia years ago and supporters have been brainwashed ever since it is on television 24 /7 you can't get away from it it on nearly advert even if it not to do with football Only footballers wash there hair exetra and many other ways . If you want to build a new stadium.its granted but try to build a sport stadium you don't stand a chance. how much Speedway did you see during 2020 ?? just lots of Football rubbish mostly from abroad,,, OH for the good old days.
  12. If football can run with no crowds every week paying out the huge wages that they do to top clubs then they should not be getting any money at all rather the other way round,
  13. Think Robert is named 'Ruthless' certainly not Rambo as stated. with Lynn signing another 16 yr old let hope he goes to the top just like Robert has. But the Star will get that wrong also as they are not interested in the POOR RELATIONS.
  14. Before the season started several supporters were saying that Robert was finished how wrong they were he wasn't finished He has just started
  15. Its grate to see Robert doing so well in Poland and winning against G/P riders But a lot looks like his bikes are getting the power which has been a handicap for several times. who is doing his motors in Poland as it must be someone from either Poland or perhaps Germany.
  16. With all that space I would have thought that officials would have said that two empty seats either side and also none in the same row But did anyone know that they could go ??
  17. Good to see that supporters are able to attend and from what I see they are not having to keep apart
  18. See that Premier Sport is covering Polish Speedway but also see that FREE SPORT is covering it also (just a few days later) That will do me
  19. Is this the end of Speedway repeats for 2020 There must be several matches in stock over the years that were really close and full of good racing or must we have to watch cycling nearly all day (Eurosport) and Australian Tennis B/T Every other day ??
  20. Is there a chance that Speedway could run behond November ?
  21. B.T and Sky are only interested in football and Eurosport in Snooker and cycling You've got to keep them going You must keep them brainwashed
  22. With no new sport to put on T.V and this being what should have been the Speedway season why have they not re-run some Speedway action and not keep pushing football down our throats all the time
  23. There is no doubt that Robert had a poor 2019 but you cant judge him on one season. He started the season with equipment he had trouble with. Then when he was getting over that he had those two big crashes within days when he did a lot of neck and shoulder injuries whitch he never got over and in hind site he should have rested until now having now had over 6 months to rest it will see what the next months has done to help . when and if 2020 ever gets going
  24. If air travel is banned that will mean only Riders that live in Britain will be available. That will also affect Sweden Denmark and Poland as well
  25. The Knights Silver Machine never lasted long thank goodness. they soon went back to the Stars and long may they stay The Stars
