It is depressing to see only six teams now at this level in the league. Like said in previous posts this league is to nurture the next generation and talent. There are not enough riders in the UK and there are many reasons for this but with the NDL and the Midlands/North leagues that have ran in the past it is giving youngsters that opportunity to get into the sport Like other posts have said I cannot see why all teams cannot at least run a second half type meeting after the main meeting if they do not want to run a full time team at this level as again it will give youngsters a chance and most teams would be able to run a short meet after the main if they cut out all the time wasted

Wimbledon Dons...back from the dead?!!
Richspeedway replied to WookieboyDon's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Just been reading it in the Star and it does sound promising, though early days, but be great to see Wimbledon back. About where it will be it says: "They have come up with a suitable site where there is already a go-kart track and enough spare land to accommodate a speedway venue as well as other added attractions, including BMX course and a circuit for model car racing which is a favourite sporting pastime of a potential sponsor" -

Just looked on the TV planner and unless it changes it does not look like it is on Eurosport so guess it might be on Discovery + -
FIM Woman's Speedway Gold Trophy
Richspeedway replied to secsy1's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Yeah that is right as she does F3 now and has done Sportscars. A few others do Sportscars as well think with the same idea. I do not have anything against F1 Academy or motorsport just for women as do watch F1 Academy but like said in other posts in series where you have women and men competing together there is not a massive disadvantage and seen women win races in a grid with men -
FIM Woman's Speedway Gold Trophy
Richspeedway replied to secsy1's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
It is just like motorsport as there is F1 Academy, a series for female racing drivers though you also have female drivers racing in F3, WEC, ELMS etc and have/doing a great job in them racing against men. -
I noticed that was shut and fencing round it last year on my way to Silverstone. Shame to see the place closed as always looked busy and always loads of bikers outside when I used to go past.

The media do not know Speedway but if a rider is caught drink driving, drugs etc they soon find out about it -

Peterborough Panthers 2023
Richspeedway replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Reading the link and Buster is asking for silly money for someone to take it over just sounds like Horton when he tried to sell the Bees for stupid money even after they were kicked out of Brandon! -
Maybe if Rye House comeback in 2024 he might get a spot in there side (depending which league they ride in)

Finale of UK Speedway ?
Richspeedway replied to old bob at herne bay's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Maybe if some teams are looking at NORA it might shock (or give them the kick of the ****) to finally sort out the sport in the UK but I very much doubt it and heads will remain buried in the sand -
I might be wrong but I think it was Chris Simpson as he also did the presenting for Cov Storm (which I preferred to the out dated Peter York)

Mine was not delivered last week and emailed Speedway Star and they it came on the Saturday in the Royal Mail It has not been delivered today either but will wait till tomorrow just incase as it is usually delivered early in the morning as it is not through Royal Mail but some other delivery firm round here. They are usually good as get my Rugby Paper with them on a Sunday.
