Starting with your English teacher?

Ipswich's bottle?

Seems a bit odd having Doyle at No.3. Think I'd want Emil and Doyle at 1 & 5 for heat 13. Surely he'll want them at 1&5 next week against Kurtz & Bewley?

Peter Oakes picking up on the Northampton possibility again in the Speedway Star today. He's reporting that someone is looking into the viability of laying a shale track and joining the Premiership again. A 2,000+ grandstand added to the stadium now, and the owners apparently interested in bringing speedway onboard. Could it be a realistic option this time?

That was for 2024 after we lost Peterborough and Wolverhampton, and the Premiership was facing going down to 5 teams. Chris Louis was considering opening at Northampton to give an extra track. In the end Birmingham moved up and Oxford did all leagues, so the Premiership was back to 7, and Northampton wasn't needed.

Not sure what they dug up, but Wroclaw are renaming that corner "The Fred West Bend"

No team orders from the Aussies then...

I would really not want anyone connected to me, racing on a track which has not been passed as safe by the governing body, and who has then gone looking for someone else to disagree and say it's safe. It reminds me of the joke about the passenger on a plane which was delayed for 4 hours. When he asked what was the reason for the delay, they said "The pilot heard a strange noise coming from one of the engines, and it will take us 4 hours to find another pilot who can't hear it".

What has happened to Speedway Updates website? Nothing at all on today. Neither Leicester nor Oxford.

Please no one tell him about Workington - the second-best track in the country. It's funnier with the added ignorance.

You are Clark Osbourne, and I claim my 5 pounds. (one for the youngsters there). Remember the idiots who said Workington would never be back? Remember the fools who thought Belle Vue's NSS could never be built? Remember the dumb-dumbs who thought Oxford would never re-open. Speedway tracks may come and go, but there will always be nobheads like the above.

Lewis Kerr's brother.

Will the new Whizz kid signing give Sheffield a Sniff at the league title? Sheffield couldn't let the season go to Pot, and needed to Weed out the underperformers. Expect them to Shoot Up the table now. He'll certainly bring some Speed to the team, and offer the Tiggers a bit of Meow-Meow. However, it'll be some Blow for Kerr and Sedgmen. With little passing at Sheffield it'll help to have someone who is good on the White Line. Just hope he's still got the bottle. They don't like it up 'em.

Backpedalling like crazy!

Way to backpedal!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Have you ever thought you're banging your head against a brick wall trying to tell some people? 🤣🤣

Before Birmingham and Oxford came into the Premiership, and while fears circulated that it could go down to 5 clubs, there were strong rumours (fuelled further by Phil Morris comments at the Coventry hearing) that Chris Louis could be interested in bringing a Premiership club to Northampton. As we are set to lose Birmingham and others are wobbling, could it be time to make Northampton a reality? One big league could never work. It would have to involve a sharing out of riders, but even if Belle Vue gave up one of Bewley/Kurtz, Ipswich gave up Doyle./Sayfutdinov, Sheffield gave up Holder/Holder, could the likes of Workington, Plymouth, or Berwick really afford Kurtz, Sayfutdinov or Holder? Of course not! So could Northampton be the Premiership saviour?

The local people objecting to the development are a Mr Oz Clarkbourne, and Mr Russell Terence.

No one walked away. They'd just be paid by the new company who have taken on the business as a going concern. People trying to make problems that don't exist.

Zmarzlik to win. He knows how to win the important races

We need Zmarzlik to miss out, just to keep things interesting.

Didn't it used to be a much quoted fact that Mr & Mrs Tatum sent young Kelvin to a public school? What's the time limit for requesting a refund?

When will Tatum work out that Lebedevs and Doyle can't both win heat 20?

Just out of interest, did you throw a hissy fit, and get this dramatic, a few months ago when Marks & Spencer had a major I.T. problem, and all their online business was shut down for over 2 months? Did you get all angry and demand answers from M&S when they said they had a "cyber issue" just as you have when Workington said they had an "administration issue"? To be honest, I'm not that bothered if Workington's fixtures are moved back a couple of weeks. I was rather worried about M&S, knowing that they had my credit card details. However I sat it out, and trusted M&S and the regulatory bodies to sort it out. I didn't feel the need to demand further private details of whether they were being held to ransom by Russian hackers. So, I'm just curious why you're getting so hysterical about a couple of weeks of sorting some visa paperwork.

HMRC have nothing to do with company registrations. That's Companies House HMRC is the tax man.
