I think they made a mistake, surely the story should have been released to the press on April the 1st

Reply by all means but I don't think you should be quoting people if they've said something in a private environment and publicising their personal medical conditions, if they've said it on FB or some other public forum, fair enough it's fair game. @W9 Lion clearly holds a position at the club, it would probably have been wiser for the club to have made an official statement if they wanted to address this situation rather than airing their dirty tittle tattle in public

We've had a hell of a lot of rain since Saturday afternoon, fingers crossed it's all drained away and we get no more!

I'm not on FB so didn't know. Looking forward to seeing the new race suits, hope they're an improvement on recent previous seasons.

He's not posted any 5h1t though, just said he's not a fan. I don't think you should be bringing personal quotes from private conversations/ correspondence into the public arena

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

Shouldn't this have been a PM?

Cardiff for me

14th is a Sunday

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?!?

I think end of April has been mentioned... with a break for the Olympics

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

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

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

I wonder if Sudden Sam still has his racing gear

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!

Coventry used to have mechanics kits and it all looked very professional. Too many butt cracks on show at the moment for my liking

He probably needs the money to build his speedway stadium somewhere within 45 minutes of Swindon

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/

They already have rev limiters in the SGP, so they not in the BL?

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

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?
