They could have got ten heats in at Foxhole.

Seven. Why are Oxford running 3 teams.?

Punish him and you instantly have a six team league. Everyone says tv folk demand 7 teams. What then?

Low crowds a bluff? Seen too many tracks close because of low crowds. It proved to be no bluff.

And that will be the end of another track. Buster doesn’t want to promote any more, especially after the Sheffield mess a few years ago. He’ll shut up shop just like Dugards have done to speedway at Eastbourne and just take the money from the cars. There will be no place for bikes any more at Saddlebow Road. Buster is determined that speedway will no longer be a drain on his bank balance. He knows without TM and PW the crowd will not cover costs. Last season crowds were dire at times and Buster won’t keep putting his hand in his pocket. At least many on here will be happy. Premiership a 3TT in 2026?

Still April and Stars have 2 out injured. Tommy B at No 4 for Sheffield away with RR at No 2.

I use Metcheck for my weather checks. Got it 100 pc spot on for the Leicester match. My hotel was cancelled early in day, long before announcement came.

Metcheck forecast was showin 100pc chances rain during meeting when I looked this morning before sun up. That made my mind up

Looks like a roadblock is needed at Guyhirn on speedway nights at the AFA

Thank you. Norfolk folk are so kind

Bound to be cold that day, Has it snowed on P and P day, I recall it has. Definitely snowed the Good Friday Stars took on a depleted Leicester team - drifts on A47. Mike Lee beat Ray Wilson that day. Can you imagine a meeting going on in those conditions these days.

Names suggested are old school announcers. Nothing wrong in that when giving heat results and riders in next heat. BUT the club needs a live wire centre green (concrete) presenter. Need someone to whip up the crowd.

Kevin to announce results is fine but need someone younger and livelier on the centre concrete to get people going.

Yes and he brought some fun to the job. We will see who gets the job.

It was on his X. https://twitter.com/GavinCaney

See Lynn have axed Gav Caney as presenter. Any news who will replace? It was good to have a youngish voice - too many old men doing the job in British speedway. Last season’s BEN fund at Lynn was a classic example. Borefest.

No. Owners put it forward for planning but council refused

If someone has money, I think there is a chance Arlington will see speedway again. Been told there is no chance of getting planning permission for houses on the site.

2001 at Eastbourne was their nadir.

Spot on.

Developers bank land for many years and leave it undeveloped. They could wait for ten years or more.

The planning process only helps up to a point. AEPG can keep Panthers out of Showground even if their applications fail. Same could happen at Coventry. Speedway needs land owner to want speedway. Eastbourne stadium still there but owners have said no to speedway and just let Stox in.. As is their right.

And 2024 team much better than 2023. League as a whole is much stronger.

Sadly not on trend. Maybe on TikTok but not on old fashioned FB and X. Just pees off people. And the Leicester content is far from creative and down right boring.

No more videos please. Not original and damn annoying. So last year.
