Any ideas who your last rider is going to be?

Wow. This is why I dont come on here often. Anyone with a sensible response to the actual question here? ( Thank you HGould for the only reasonable answer here) I'll be in Tenerife the 3rd week of November, so will look out my Save Our Speedway banner and pack it with my Speedo's and Ivan Mauger book. As for this quote....what part of the Canaries have you been wining and dining in to conclude that it aint cheap? Defo not the parts I frequent.

Bring Speedway back on Terrestrial TV would help - never gonna happen though. NORA IOW speedway will be the future. Speedway in its purest form is predominantly boring to the non converted. Anyone watch the BSN coverage when the GB lads were in the US? How refreshing was it to have the unique races throughout the main event. BSPL ( or whoever is in charge these days) need to cough up the dough and step in. Ownership of own stadium is critical, as is that club getting revenue from food & drink sold at stadium. (Nothing wrong with giving away free tickets if the people were never coming in the first place) Riders personalities/characters and fan engagement are key drivers to the success of the sport (no pun intended) Up to date and relevant Marketing

Last I saw, Yes.

Glasgow v Edinburgh , Easter Sunday
Wardey replied to Weeyin's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Maybe they'd just admit it in their autobiography years later. Anyone who has read Triple Crown Plus will know what I mean. -
Glasgow v Edinburgh , Easter Sunday
Wardey replied to Weeyin's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Basso is a good enough and talented enough. Doesnt need to ride like that. Good for the punter to see how future meetings between the 2 riders go. Also adds to the GB v Denmark shenanigans following Woffinden-Madsen & Kerr - Palm Toft clashes lol -
Not heard about any other countries following suit, but will defo be interesting to see how it works in reality. As for the 'micro movement' ruling.....this is a very good move. There were a few Extraleague meetings last year that had farcical stoppages based on this, and you could see no advantage was gained when watching the replays.

Sorry. Who is the 6th rider? Website states 5 riders PLYMOUTH Richie WorrallDan Gilkes Kyle HowarthBen BarkerBen Trigger

Agree 100%

4 good riders so far. Well chuffed for George as well. Yes he had a tough start to UK speedway but he was showing signs of improvements before we went under. Hopefully he has good machinery with him this year, because if he does, Im confident he will be a steal on 4.5 avge

Sorry. For clarity. I am meaning a bog standard monthly calendar with the days, that you can hang on your kitchen wall. I find it the best way to communicate with the wife. Writing things like 'Pub with lads' and 'Armadale 7.30 tape ups'

Does a 2023 GB Speedway calendar exist? If so, does anyone have a link to purchase one.

SGB Championship 2023 Confirmed Signings
Wardey replied to Nickinho's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Possibly to do with his Newcastle points being scrapped? Complin is still a 4 which is what he came in on at start of season. -
Thanks. Hope that doesnt stop him from getting a NDL place this season
-
Does Max's 11.73 NDL average from last season carry over into this one? (Im genuinely not sure how the points system works) He only a couple of few meetings, is that right?

Wardey replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Where is best to purchase the Gorzow tickets? Many Thanks -
Bet Glasgow are delighted too
-
Adam Shields perhaps? A good rider & box office to watch.
-
Glasgow fans. Any idea when the stadium opens for fans on Saturday? I know its 7pm tapes up but not sure when public can enter. Thanks

Still saying that now about Max? The boy is a grafter, he’ll come good -
Hi Bandits fans. is there a curfew for Shieldfield? Heading down next weekend so just need an idea of time so that I can book my trains. Many Thanks
-
What happened the 'Commercial' team that was in place last season. Also has anyone heard about whats happening to the Gate & Go draw?

Poole Pirates Vs Berwick Bandits 29/6/22
Wardey replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Can someone refresh me on the 2 bad decisions that both Team managers referred to on the stream last night please. I thought Flint's was fair as there was no contact....but i will admit i am not a connoisseur of the rulebook. Thanks -
Hi Fina. The VAT debt from the previous owners was already dealt with under the previous Ltd Co entity that Rob & Co took over. When I say dealt with...that business was declared bankrupt. Then a new Ltd Co was formed which is the current business. Hope that helps

Feeling a bit uncomfortable with people slagging Grant & Co, but hey, every is entitled to their opinion. It was a poisoned chalice from the beginning taking over the club. The tax debt from previous management was the tell tale sign that things were going south for a few years previously for our beloved club. The chances of getting someone in.....I think we all know thats slim, there was hardly a rush for it last season. I hope everyone is at peace with themselves, whether you did the trackwalk and picked up some shale, got your favourite merchandise, photo with your favourite rider.....time to treasure it.
