  1. Rory Schlein will be joining the BSN team and Jeff Davies will give an update on the latest situation regarding the future of Brandon. It should be a very interesting evening. Everyone welcome. Only £4 entry with all proceeds for the GB Young Lions. The meeting is tonight, 15th April starting at 8pm. The venue is just down the hill on the Rugby side of the stadium. Brandon Club, Main Street, Brandon, Coventry, CV8 3HW
  2. A quartet featuring, Ian Brannan, Ben Duffill, Martin Hunter and Greg Blair will be bringing the full 'BSN Experience' to the NSSC on Tuesday, 15th April, so be prepared for a night that promises to be both entertaining and somewhat different to what we're used to. Ian is the 'voice' of BSN, a 13x award winning voiceover artist, responsible for the inflight announcements on Etihad Airline flights, a regular presenter for both BBC Radio Cumbria and BBC Radio Lancashire as well the man behind the 'No Brakes, No Fear' podcasts. Martin, co-owner of BSN, but more crucially is their head of production, an all round technical guru, especially when it comes down to his mastery of vMix software, which allows him to keep on top of BSN's live stream content. Ex Redcar Bears Promoter, Ben Duffill is the other director of BSN and is someone who is passionate about supporting Speedway and expanding its reach both within the UK and abroad. Greg Blair co-presents BSN's live stream content and is well known within Speedway circles as a former rider at Championship and National League level with Berwick, Scunthorpe and Mildenhall. We hope that you'll join us for what promises to be a fascinating evening. The event is at the Brandon Club on Tuesday 15th April and starts at 8pm. Venue: Brandon Club, Main Street, Brandon, CV8 3HW Entrance fee for members £2.00 Entrance fee for non-members £4.00
  3. Sorry about the doubling up 🤷‍♂️ If I knew how to delete one of the messages I would.
  4. The NSSC has had great support from the speedway world as they continue to raise funds to help the GB Young Lions.

  6. I’m sorry to say that due to unforeseen circumstances Scott has had to cancel his trip to the NSSC tonight. So the meeting is cancelled. Apologies to anyone who was hoping to come along. We will try again in the New Year.
  7. There have been many opportunities to date but if you haven’t bought Scott Nicholls’ book there is another chance if you join us at the Brandon Club next Tuesday, 10th December, starting at 8pm. Scott will be signing and selling his book ……. just in time for Christmas. We will also spend the evening chatting with Scott. Everyone is welcome with a charge of only £4 and all proceeds are for the GB Young Lions. Come and join us at the Brandon Club, Brandon, Coventry, CV8 3HW.
  8. It was good to see Olching feature so much. I’ve been there a few times as we are friends with Martin Smolinski. In fact a group of us stayed in Olching a few weeks ago when we visited the Munich Oktoberfest!
  9. I didn’t understand a word of it but thanks for sharing it on here. I really enjoyed it.
  10. The Speedway season at the NSSC never ends. We are delighted to say that Chris Morton will be our next guest at the Brandon Club on Tuesday 5th November. Tapes up at 8pm. There’s obviously plenty to discuss apart from his illustrious career including the mammoth cycle ride from Cardiff to Wrocław and the awarding of the SGP to the National Speedway Stadium. Everyone welcome. Only £4 entry with all proceeds for the GB Young Lions. Venue details; Brandon Club, Main Street, Brandon, Coventry, CV8 3HW. We will also have a stall at the Speedway Show which is being held at the British Motor Musem at Gaydon on the 2nd November. We have over 1500 Coventry programmes, many books from the 1930’s & 50’s to 80’s and a fine collection of original photos from the 1940’s & 50’s. All for sale with proceeds for the GB Young Lions.
  11. I am just getting stuff together for the Speedway Show which will be at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, on 2nd November 2024. We (the NSSC) have a copy of ‘My Two Lives’ by Erik Gundersen for sale. If anyone is interested in making an offer before the show please email nsscspeedway@gmail.com Please bear in mind that all profits from this sale will go to help Neil Vatcher and the GB Young Lions.
  12. It looks like Oxford have contacted those with tickets via WhatsApp and email but nothing yet on their X account or website. Good job the grapevine works better!
  13. Is this meeting on? There’s no mention of it on their X account and no preview on their website as far as I can see.
  14. Gary Guglielmi at Coventry. When he first arrived he couldn’t finish a second half novices race, he kept falling. It became a standing joke as to which lap and corner he would fall at. Although off track situations blighted his career he became a very good rider.
  15. The NSSC are hosting a special event on Tuesday 7th May at the Brandon Club. Starting at 8pm, Paul Ackroyd, David Norris and Gary Havelock will be discussing the work of the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund. Although at times it is a solemn but necessary subject there will be plenty of opportunity for David & Gary to entertain the audience with tales of past adventures. It promises to be a great event with all proceeds for the SRBF. Everyone welcome only £4 entry. All details here; https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk
  16. Our first Ice Speedway meeting. Amazing, fantastic, terrifying !!! Didn't expect so many close races. Heat 19 and the Final stood out from many others. Also, no practice starts and faffing about at the tapes. So refreshing. Brilliant and going to do it all again tomorrow!
  17. With thanks to Neil Vatcher we have added a full list of British Youth Champions to the NSSC website. There are some familiar names on the list and, sadly, several who are no longer racing. Take a look; https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk/british-youth-champions/
  18. Thank you so much for your positive comments. I’m really pleased you gave us a try and enjoyed the evening. Completely agree with your comments regarding Dan and Jason. Hopefully we will see you again at future events.
  19. It’s a cold night but a warm welcome awaits anyone who fancies a trip to the Brandon Club for an evening of speedway chatter with Phil Morris. Tapes up at 8pm. It’s only £4 for entry with all proceeds going to help GB Youth Speedway. The Club offers a good range of beers, hot drinks and light snacks. Brandon Club, Main Street, Brandon, Coventry, CV8 3HW
  20. Happy New Year to everyone!Phil Morris is first out of the traps in 2024, as the NSSC welcomes this hugely respected and influential figure as our first guest on Tuesday 16th January.In addition to his role as FIM SGP Race Director, Phil was appointed as CEO of British Speedway Premiership in March 2023 and it will be fascinating to hear from Phil about what his role entails and his hopes and expectations for the top tier of British Speedway going forward.We hope that you can join us as we extend a warm welcome to Phil. The meeting starts at 8pm and everyone is welcome.Venue: Brandon Club, Main Street, Brandon, CV8 3HW Entrance fee for members £2.00 Entrance fee for non-members £4.00 All proceeds from the entrance fee and raffle tickets go towards helping British Youth Speedway, through our association with the Young Lions. All details and more events; https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk
  21. Apologies if I’ve missed it somewhere but are the Swedish fixtures out yet? I’ve just spent ages stumbling around the internet and can see that the 2023 Elitserien fixtures were announced in November 2022 and the Allsvenskan in mid January 2023. But haven’t found this years fixtures yet. We managed to go to Piraterna and Vargarna last year and will be trying to organise a holiday to take in some or all of Ornarna, Griparna, Solkatterna and Vikingarna this year. We will then have visited all the Swedish tracks …… as they stand.
  22. Chris Van Straaten is the guest at the NSSC tomorrow night. (14th November at 8pm) Everyone is welcome at the Brandon Club (just down the road from the stadium) with £4 for entry. All proceeds go to help GB Youth Speedway and all details are here; https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk
  23. When will a decision be made on this? It seems strange that other teams are signing riders for next season before Vargarna know what league they are in.
  24. Nice to know that my scribbling in the Speedway Star SGP race card is more accurate than the official one!
  25. I hope our K.C. Is better than their K.C.
