Unless things have changed then he'll have a fight on his hands. SCB has previous refused to licence electric or Revi bike racing on its tracks - something that frustrated Birmingham https://www.scbgb.co.uk/news.php?extend.207.1

Sorry if I have missed the information, but is the Planning Inspector looking at an appeal into a specific application, and, if so, which one please? I just want to refresh my memory with the relevant information Thank you

Does anyone know if you can buy programmes for previous meetings for either Belle Vue or Northampton please? I've looked on both club's websites and on Curtis Sports, but can't see a method for doing so? I will contact the clubs, but just wondered if anyone knew. Much appreciated

Yes, definitely - on top of a shared of the conversion cost you obviously have all the track installation and infrastructure costs as well, so wouldn't be cheap. Against that then you obviously also have a much larger capacity to offset the costs, and I do think a London SGP would sell well. This is what is on this summer, and, as athletics is included, the oval configuration will be in place https://www.london-stadium.com/residents-information/index.html

It costs millions to convert the stadium back from the football configuration to an oval, so could only be feasible if timed to coincide with other events https://www.google.com/search?q=what+does+it+cost+to+convert+the+london+stadium+back+to+an+athletics+track&oq=what+does+it+cost+to+convert+the+london+stadium+back+to+an+athletics+track&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCTM4MzY3ajBqN6gCFLACAfEF_SOs6C3bhD7xBf0jrOgt24Q-&client=ms-android-google&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8&sei=DHwmav3VMKu4hbIPpMD_6Ao#lfId=ChxjMe

I was in the East Stand on the third turn too for both nights. An absolutely fantastic place to watch from

Do you miss the great occasion that was Cardiff ?
Sir Sidney replied to Phannan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
That's probably it in a nutshell - and I don't think the promoters did enough to try to retain those people (I'm one of them) - and, without them, the event became unviable -
Not for the organisers, who lost significant sums of money

Yes, 10 to 15 mins based on your walking pace

Bears vs Scorpions 29/05/2026 19:30 CL
Sir Sidney replied to IainB's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I don't think so. He has scored well for Scunthorpe prior to this evening. Just in the wrong place - on the outside, first bend bunching, and would have been in the re run if not injured. He appeared to slide into the fence feet first, damaging his right leg. -

I don't know. Did he get an established average at Glasgow last year? If so then I presume that would be converted to a Premiership average using the normal rules

Adam has a Polish Extra league average over 6, so, according to the regulations, would get an assessed average of 7.5

https://britishspeedway.co.uk/miscellaneous/british-speedway-agm-statement-3/ The statement from the AGM only refers to the 'initial declaration '. I can't find anything in the Regulations that prevents a second signing over 8 after that

NDL EDINBURGH V M’BRO v EDINBURGH

Although not the first woman to ride in the third tier. Jessica Lamb made a couple of appearances at Wimbledon, and possibly Plymouth -
Foxes vs Lions PL R1 21/05/2026 19:30
Sir Sidney replied to IainB's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
So still 2,000 or so. Not bad if that is the level it settles at -
That would be a coup - and possibly the only other rider in the World that can replicate the excitement of a rider like Dan.

Surely his club should also have taken an interest to make sure the right paperwork was in place, given Cooper is only just 16 and in his first season in the league I am always amazed that clubs, and riders, are not fully conversant with the regulations. Mind you, it's not just speedway. I was at a talk this week where an international sport referee said that players in that sport regularly didn't know the laws

But, if you look at the video from behind, although Cooper's front wheel is turning left, his bike is still moving straight or to the right. He never comes in beyond mid track. If you look at the first lap Kye Thomson rides a similar line, albeit that he doesn't scrub off speed by over locking. Maybe Cooper was just following the line Kye took on the previous lap, thinking that was the racing line When people say 'what else could Luke have done' then look at the line Jody Scott took at the end of lap one to go inside Luke and much closer to the white line. I doubt anyone is going to change their mind about what happened and who caused it. Of course, these incidents happen in the blink of an eye. Given injuries to riders elsewhere over the last few days I am just glad that the injuries here appear relatively minor (although any concussion is not to be treated lightly)

I think it might be more appropriate to say 'once they find out how best to prepare it' and then do that consistently
