Let’s be honest, most would agree that Heat 15 should have stopped. The start marshal should have been warned or fined for blatantly favouring the home side. He clearly stepped in after seeing the Poole riders in front, just like in previous incidents where he was happy for his side to benefit from race stoppages. The referees’ inaction was poor, especially considering they had a trainee with them. He should have been on it straight away as it was clearly dangerous.

Who ? Dame Edna 😀

Have to agree with all the comments about Ben Barker; always gives everything on and off track a proper team man. I also remember seeing him being interviewed on local Tv in his usual enthusiastic manner this time as a water tanker driver, I think, during the pandemic.

In anticipation of the planning application, local residents have contacted their parish council, expressing their opposition to any proposed plans due potential noise and traffic concerns. The site is situated adjacent to the main London to Bristol rail line and in close proximity to junction 17 of the M4. The sole residential accommodation in the vicinity is the local traveller site, with the nearest housing development being a couple miles away.You couldn’t make it up! This is the just of the article Residents on the outskirts of Swindon have been left divided by plans for a new Speedway stadium. Swindon Motorsports hopes to build a new home for the Robins, with a capacity of up to 3,000, at Studley Grange just a few miles from junction 16 of the M4. If Wiltshire Council gives the green light, a motorsports park with a speedway track and karting track could be built. At the time of writing, a planning application had not been submitted but was expected soon. The proposal is expected to be discussed during the public question time of the Lydiard Tregoze Parish Council meeting at Hook Village Hall on Monday, July 14. A note in the meeting’s agenda revealed the parish council has already been emailed by concerned residents seeking its support in objecting to the application once it is submitted. Some fear the scheme would create noise and traffic issues when combined with other nearby housing and commercial developments Posting in the Swindon Needs Speedway group ahead of the meeting, Andy Freegard urged locals to attend, whether they support or oppose the development. He said: “Although several local businesses have already raised objections, the council has decided that the potential noise impact is acceptable and is moving forward with the application. “Many of you will remember how far the noise from the old Blunsdon Speedway used to travel — this new site is much closer. “While some people might support the return of speedway, many will be concerned about noise pollution and disruption to daily life. “If you object to this proposal, it’s very important you attend the meeting and make your voice heard. “If you support the proposal, you are also encouraged to attend and share your view.”

All the best to Batch and the entire Worky team for a successful evening and for their continued success in the future. We cannot afford to lose another venue, particularly after the large investment and effort required to establish this one in the first place

effectively preventing those riders from earning a living, ridiculous.

To be fair m&s did give out vouchers to those affected will Worky 😄

After the main match, they had three more heats, so they had to get moving.

You might be right! I’m surprised that someone with Jamie Courtney’s undeniable passion and obvious enthusiasm would let that happen. But hey, who knows?

I’m not one to criticise Oxford Speedway (we all waited ages for it to reopen), but a few things after last night. First off, Peter Schroeck is a hardworking bloke who’s passionate about the sport. But his decisions, or lack thereof, are starting to get a bit worrying, especially when it affects the team at home. It’s clear to me that there are a lot of empty spaces around the stadium, and winning at home is crucial. The track is often a dustbowl and hardly ever gets any improvement after some of the longest track grading breaks in speedway. And let’s not forget about car parking despite a £2 charge It says shuttle bus subject to availability as of yesterday, but in my experience, it’s never been available . This puts off a lot of people, especially those who aren’t as mobile I think the management of the club should start taking notice of these issues before more and more people start to drift away.

It could be but considering Osbornes history of non-delivery, it is understandable why there would be a significant amount of doubt of it ever happening.

Nothing but the best from Osborne!

If you have a phone just show the security guys at car park the e-ticket for the parking they will accept this.(this is what I do)

That’s exactly what I thought. Why all the fuss and demanding changes. It was just one meeting, Oxford won and Poole lost.😀

That little “throttle jockey”as you call him rode extremely well at Oxford last season and provided plenty entertainment.

Look at it this way you’ve already saved £2.00 by parking at Tesco.😀

Until 2032 and maybe beyond.

Anyone know what’s happened to the free shuttle from the Unipart car park ?

No problem with booing etc my point was it’s not the presenters job “to stoke it up” that’s all.

Booing is a negative expression of disapproval that can be disruptive, intimidating, and hurtful, making it generally unpleasant
