I bet this girl wishes she'd never approved the planning application now!

Listening to Danny Ford on the British Speedway podcast and fair play for the guy presenting it for asking the question about the Jubilee Trophy but I'm glad Danny Ford found it all very funny! I get it, it has become a joke but for the fans that have followed their club through all the qualifying rounds they deserve for it to at least be taken seriously by the powers that be. And until these competitions are taken seriously (whatever they are)... Speedway will always be seen as a Micky Mouse "sport"

Don't worry, you've probably seen the last of that competition!

Bah! Humbug! You may live to regret that offer once you can't get rid of me If they held the meeting up while we discussed all of Speedway's woe's they'd probably have to abandon the meeting! Is it my imagination or do the tractor breaks at Leicester appear to be longer than at other tracks? I wonder if General Morris will bring in a set time limit for tractor racing? I suppose it is a necessary evil though if we want tracks in tip top condition. I see you're a Leicester fan until the Bees return... I was the opposite, but Lions were away from the sport for so long that when they re-opened I didn't really attend that regularly until Cov closed down, that was in the bad old days with the track though. I used to follow Cov home and away, it'd be interesting now that if/when they were to return whether I'd return... like I used to. Club loyalty is a funny thing when it's taken out of your hands

I may have applied... but I'm still blocked on Leicester's Twitter X, maybe I should... it could be the only way to get me unblocked

Always went with my dad... sadly he's no longer with us... gone to the big tractor racing track in the sky So I fly solo these days

Have you ever been to a Speedway meeting alone, as many of us do? On a cold spring or autumn night the allure of watching a tractor (seemingly) endlessly going around the track, soon wears off.

I've said it before and I'll say it again you cannot be failed to be impressed when you first attend a Speedway match (Unless you've attended a shambles that we occasionally get). It's when you take a deep dive into the sport as you become more interested in it that it starts to let you down. It'll be interesting to see how your grandson retains his interest as he gets more into it and dare I say it Sheffield don't manage to put a serious challenge in to retain their title

You'd assume Leicester as Cairns has taken over

I'll give 'em 'til June

He's not been fined for his latest outburst yet has he? That £4500 could yet increase

I wonder if this new site they've identified has housing redevelopment potential?

Looks like Oxford have been forced(?) to run PL as insurance for when Birmingham inevitably fold mid- season... or don't even make it to the tapes in March

The point of boxing and martial arts though is not to kill your opponent... or even hurt them for that matter, it's about scoring points

I know... I can see that. That is not the race suit he was thrown out of the GP for wearing though, that is the one he should have been wearing. The one he wore that got him excluded had Orlen on his chest in the most prominent position

at scrapping?

Both of the scrappers out then

There's always been a bit of a debate of where the law starts and finishes in a sporting arena. It's a while ago now but i seem to remember something in football many years ago, 1 was to do with Duncan Ferguson and the other Gary Mabbutt and "Fash the bash". Thankfully I can't recall anything similar in Speedway, I suppose the equivalent in Speedway would be somebody with a reputation like Nicki Pedersen going too far and "fencing" an opponent with the worst possible outcome. Then it's a matter of opinion of whether it was a deliberate action or not. Fortunately, as far as I'm aware, the sport has never had to deal with this, but it came very close this summer with the Craig Cook incident.

He'll need one to pay off all of his fines

works for me all the time on mobile... but only for some users when I try in on PC

I can't believe you're all ignoring the biscuits!

Can you provide a full cost breakdown of your holiday to the Canaries please?

I have... Dark Chocolate Hob-Nobs are the Premiership League of biscuits though... it's Bourbons for you... unless you move up of course, in which case you can have the Chocolate Hob-Nobs in 2 years time!

You been to the Shateau (as seen on TV), that's where they should have held the conference!

Maybe a full explanation of the costs involved and a new contract for the exclusive provision of biscuits for the conference from a Turkish biscuit manufacturer looking to break into the sport... they'll probably fall apart as soon as they're dunked though
