  1. People give Justin Tomlinson a lot of stick, but the biggest villain is Terry Russell hes taken the money and ran.
  2. Its going to be a bit odd seeing the Russians doing well in the league and not allowed to ride in the GPs.
  3. I expect the we are going to see the Russians back in the league but not in the GPs. If Germany has 2 GPs and Australia still hasn't got 1, it might be Smolinski for Doyle, we all know there is commercial aspect to the picks.
  4. I agree with this, I hope the Russians are back because some will be annoyed if it is the same line up bar 1 rider.
  5. I think Terry Russell has been paid off.
  6. Thats what it looks like to me. TR should probably just take the track as it is without the stadium being built and ask for a much reduced rent. Osborne would probably find another excuse though.
  7. I don't understand whats going on, if Terry Russell and the BSPA have known for weeks they could have issued a statement.
  8. This is the confirmation of what a lot of people have been saying for ages, this stadium is not going to be built. RIP swindon speedway.
  9. Did you read the article in the star? They looked seriously at staging a GP, they had designs for a bespoke safety fence which would have been expensive. However it wasn't the cost that prevented it happening it was the width of the track that didn't meet FIM standards. The cost of a bespoke fence and the hefty rent is probably putting off a promoter doing league racing.
  10. I thought the stock car people spent money tarting the place up a little?
  11. I believe Bradford council own the stadium and lease it to the stocks people who then sub lease it to the rugby. If the council/rugby club don't get this ambitious project off the ground, the rugby club may look at more modest alternatives elsewhere.
  12. Complin is entertainment if he rode any wider he would have bought a burger in the cafe.
  13. The track is too narrow to meet FIM standards. The only way they could widen the track is if the rugby club left, which is not out the question because I don't think they are happy with how narrow the rugby pitch is.
