Yes they do. And there was at least 1200 there so all good.

Just watched back the highlights. Clearly way more than 30 on three and four. And big crowd standing in front of stand as well as those inside.

Not sure what you were watching. Healthy crowd in the stand, healthier standing in front of it, and quite a few on bends three and four. But yes, there should be one league. Five riders in each team like Denmark, rider grading needs to be introduced.

I'm guessing we aren't far off from what we have been chatting about on here?

The statue looks great. Was there any further information given to the potential new site?

Did anybody attend the Ronnie Moore statue unveiling and event on Saturday? Unfortunately I couldn't due to a long standing family commitment which was gutting for me. I'd heard that there was going to be some additional information given about the potential new site. Did that happen?

Again, making ridiculous comments with no proof to back it up. Come on font of all knowledge, tell us how you know for absolute certain that Coventry, and now Wimbledon, do not have the money. You keep making the comments. Back it up. I’ll wait… Only one person living in a fantasy land here…do you need help telling you who that is?!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s not what you have been saying. You have said that the Coventry backers have no money to begin with. With you being so confident about this, as has already been asked, provide your proof. Oh wait, you have none…🤦🏻‍♂️

Would love to see Parnitskyi racing over here. Huge talent who would really attack the UK tracks. Unfortunately I can’t see it happening with his Polish, Swedish and Danish commitments.

The track chopping up already doesn’t bode well for tomorrow night.

You really are talking utter nonsense. Firstly, Wimbledon weren’t struggling after re-opening in ‘02. Where are you getting that from? Secondly, conveniently you have ignored my question of how you know those behind the proposed return at Coventry have no money. If you are going to make comments, either back it up or don’t make such accusations. Thirdly, as already proved to you, a businessman did touch speedway by bringing back Oxford and making it a success. Just look at the crowds they are getting. Way more than “half a dozen supporters”. It really is a shame that not only are you incredibly negative towards any new venue opening, but actually dead against any form of growth for the sport in the UK. And you’ll make up lies just to try and prove your spurious point. Bizarre.

It still shocks me that people expect or feel entitled to be given immediate information on such matters straight away. It should remain private and confidential as long as those in charge want it to be. When the time is right, you’ll get your answers. And to those that say “Well I am the paying public, they take my money so I have a right to know.” Well, if your local shop that is family owned suddenly closes for the day and puts up a sign saying ‘Closed temporarily due to unforeseen circumstances’, are you going to bang on the door or phone them up demanding to know why just because you spend money in there?! No, didn’t think so. This should be no different.

Maybe Ben knows what’s coming. For what it’s worth, I think we need one big league, which at the moment looks like it will be 14 teams. Should be five riders per team like Denmark. And there should be rider grading.

Well, asking you to cheer up obviously didn’t happen did it? 🤦🏻‍♂️ The potential for Wimbledon returning is completely different to the situation they faced back in 2005. Also, I find it fascinating that you are fully aware of the finances and backing of the team trying to bring Coventry back. Are you their accountant gone rogue and are here anonymously, as you seem very certain that they “don’t have the money. They have NO chance” ??? Please, enlighten us all of why you are so certain. I’d love to see the proof. 🤷🏻‍♂️

My take on tonight: -Poole even stronger with Will Cairns unsurprisingly. His arrival will have more of an effect on results than Nagel at Glasgow, whose reserves are too weak. -A poor track plus a Glasgow team who weren’t at the races out of the gate for most of the night equals that kind of meeting. -Christina Turnbull proves that she is still willing to pull her absolute clangers on the domestic scene, not just on the world stage. -Cairns is an enthusiastic lad. God knows what he’ll do after his first max! 😉

So much wrong with this…I don’t know where to start…😉 What I will say is…cheer up. It might never happen. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sounds like the issues weren’t only the ‘goat’ track. Seems the changing rooms were filthy dirty and clearly hadn’t been cleaned and the same with the pits…are things that bad at Perry Barr that the brooms have been taken away?!

If only Oxford had listened to your negativity…they’d have saved those supposed ‘millions’ and left the site to ruin…🤦🏻‍♂️

Seems it could be to do with visas, hence administrative rather than financial. Check out the Worky 2025 thread for more info.

Sad news. RIP Mike. Master of his craft. 🙏🏻

𝗕𝗦𝗣 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧: 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗪𝗔𝗬 Within the last 48 hours the Directors of British Speedway Promoters Ltd have become aware of administrative issues that must be resolved before Workington Speedway can compete again. A seven-day suspension of membership has been imposed to give them time to overcome these issues. Said BSP Chairman, Rob Godfrey: “We are happy with the progress being made by the Club in sorting these issues and I anticipate that there will be a speedy resumption to racing at Workington.” The suspension does mean that Workington’s matches at Berwick on June 28, Oxford on July 2 and Redcar on July 4 will be postponed.

The Beddington Lane site comes under Croydon Council. But, given their current financial plight, accepting donations will still be a major issue! 😉

As I said, they already have go-karts and motocross there so noise shouldn't be an issue if it is the Beddington Lane site. And it's mainly industrial round there.

Surbiton Raceway is a good shout but I don't think there is much spare land there to accommodate what they have planned. The only other place I can think of which does have additional land is where Traq Motor Racing go-karts are on the Mitcham/Croydon border on Beddington Lane. Not only does it have go-karts but a motocross track as well.
