  1. Well, I don't think you should be bringing private quotes into the public domain, especially publicising somebody's medical conditions... unless I've missed these quotes being made in the public arena
  2. https://www.next.co.uk/shop/gender-men-productaffiliation-coatsandjackets-0
  3. Does he not know there's a perfectly good speedway track and stadium in existence already, owned by his business partner and one he's promoted at for years? What the flippin flip?!?
  4. I think end of April has been mentioned... with a break for the Olympics
  5. They could easily do a Swindon though, include a flat pack Speedway stadium in the plans, sell the houses and then pull the stadium down
  6. One big league for me, with rider numbers in each team to suit rider availability, 6 rider teams or whatever. Clubs to run on the night of their choosing. The 7 team PL is a joke and the CL is fast approaching the same quantity so the time is right for OBL imo
  7. Are Thursday's Britain's to "give up"? I thought it was Monday and Wednesdays that were protected but we just elected to go for Thursday's instead, don't know how Denmark fits into that scenario? I thought it was all agreed at FIM level, could be wrong of course
  8. I wonder if Sudden Sam still has his racing gear
  9. I don't think they can, thought this was the final decision. I don't know if it applies to that specific planning application though... could they submit another one with a running track instead of a football pitch for example... or a Speedway stadium, now there's an idea!
  10. Coventry used to have mechanics kits and it all looked very professional. Too many butt cracks on show at the moment for my liking
  11. He probably needs the money to build his speedway stadium somewhere within 45 minutes of Swindon
  12. I don't know, normally leagues follow suit with mechanical standardisation. http://www.scbgb.co.uk/news.php?extend.79 https://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/87441-rev-limiters/
  13. They already have rev limiters in the SGP, so they not in the BL?
  14. Yes, I was thinking that myself. Even if you adjust for inflation it doesn't seem rust much more than what is reportedly being paid today
  15. Something that absolutely no one was calling for! They should concentrate on introducing things they've already promised before introducing gimmicks like this. Do you know who's idea this actually was? Will it put any extra bums on seats, pull in any extra viewers, entice any additional sponsors/advertisements?
  16. https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/6620381.speedway-sky-splashing/ ... and that's when £5m was worth something! £9m in today's money. Don't know whether that's before or after TR's cut
  17. I think that's the current deal isn't it? The early Sky deals were much larger we were led to believe
  18. Some of the best riders ever have been gate and go merchants... they just do it consistently
  19. Methanol bikes are probably cleaner than electric bikes
  20. You've summed up TV in a nutshell there... everything from the news to live sport
  21. They're probably sitting on a beach somewhere sipping on pina colada's
