I gather it will be in Poland just waiting for track to be confirmed.

This is no different to every other track. Depends what the rain off policy is this year, if I remember right last year it was the next 4 meetings and the rescheduled meeting.

You can't pay on the gate as such, the turnstiles are fully automatic with bar code scanners. You can buy tickets on the day (or any day) from the ticket office for no fee. In the near future when the system is fully up and running you will be able to print ticket at home too or just have it on a smart phone. If a meeting is rained off, the barcode on the ticket will be reactivated.

Ice Hockey released the statement above about periscope but they are far ahead of speedway in that most teams already do a professional stream and charge between £5-10 to watch it. They been doing it few years and don't think it effects attendance much. The same footage is then used in a one hour highlights programme each week on premier sports. Clean Cut sports stream Coventry ice hockey and also record Coventry speedway and few others but not allowed to stream due to Go Speed.

Just quoting what WSL have said. I agree that should be neutral but support will be an issue, like I said previously if it was at KIngs Lynn can't see many neutrals over here going to watch it.

Yep you were right, can only think bank holidays Monday's are classed as weekends?

Got to be neutral venue

Kings Lynn riding that night at Leicester though and can't see many neutrals over here going

Any news on a venue yet?

Can't see it happening as like I said when they got the planning permission Monday's weren't included, plus it is stock cars next door on bank holidays so would be chaos.

Mostly Friday's with Colts NL meetings on GP Friday's. Won't be any Monday's as we only have planning permission for Wednesday's, Friday's, Saturday's.

Jason Doyle latest rider to be confirmed, 3 to go : Matej Zagar; Max Fricke; Craig Cook; Richie Worrall; Scott Nicholls; Chris Harris; Niels-Kristian Iversen; Danny King; Peter Kildemand; Nicki Pedersen; Chris Holder; Tai Woffinden; Jason Doyle; RIDER TBA; RIDER TBA; RIDER TBA.

Peter Kildemand and Danny King latest riders announced for this opening meeting. 4 more to go : Matej Zagar; Max Fricke; Scott Nicholls; Richie Worrall; Craig Cook; Chris Harris; Niels-Kristian Iversen; Danny King; Peter Kildemand; Nicki Pedersen; Chris Holder; Tai Woffinden; TBC; TBC; TBC; TBC

Difference could be successful team last couple of seasons compared to non-successful this season.

Zagar's is half Darcy Ward, half Leigh Adams

It is a bonus point (just for pay) a rider receives if he finishes behind his team mate to prevent them from racing each other for more money

Cook and Zagar show how to pass!

£1,320 raised for Darcy

With rain forecast all evening the track prep was spot on, we lucky rain didnt come till after 9.00 as it was forecast at 8.00. Wasn't one line either there was several heats with passing but it was all BV riders doing the passing when didn't gate, we can't help it that Belle Vue were gating well most of the time and the Swindon riders had no fight at all.

Only saw 2 Swindon fans, pretty poor for a playoff semi final.

Announced 10 min delay in pouring rain, no way Heat 15 will happen

Different shale been used, wonder if Ronnie Russell ordered it!

Nothing new, Billy Hamill had datalogger when he rode for Belle Vue in 1997, had a laptop in the pits.
