Anyone who missed the Stal Gorzow match yesterday can watch a replay here Stal Gorzow match

Only too pleased to try and help, sorry I put up the wrong info. As these scores are hard to find. Could you put the info on here, in case anyone else is keeping records, of events, and don't have these one's.

I'd rather have sixteen riders competing the World Championship any day, then a having a different wild card, at the GP meetings.

There is a competition on the Speedway Grand Prix website, that's free to enter with prizes.

I have just checked their website and found this Swedish Speedway — Elite League — Round 1 Elit Vetlanda vs Piraterna Tuesday 3 May at 6pm Nothing on the Sky Tv guide yet though. Premier Sports

Many thanks June01 for the information. Great website now added to my favourites.

Anyone know where I can find the full heat details of the 2002 Speedway Grand Prix

With several speedway teams lost a large amount of money last season, which is not good for anyone involved in the sport that I love. I have devised a formula that would not only help teams to save money, but also give extra entertainment to the sports' supporters, which could work. But would any forward thinking promoter adopt such an imaginative idea as this. My idea is quite simple. 1) All teams to be reduced to six riders per team, thus saving the expense of having a seventh rider. This could save clubs many thousands of pounds each season, especially if their previous seventh rider was from outside the UK. This would also automatically strength all teams, as you could in theory have six riders with a seven point average, in your team. This might also help riders to stay at their clubs for longer and them help build a relationship with both the fans and their local sponsors. The league would use the current 42.50 points limit. Having regular pairings might help also bring back the lost art of team riding. 2) Now for a change in the league’s racing meeting formula. The league would use the old traditional International style formula of eighteen heats per meeting (but fifteen heats league matches would also work, with all riders having a minimum of five rides each). This gives the supporters three more races to watch, for eighteen heat league matches, and making the meeting more value for money, for the supporters without much extra cost to the promoter. Teams would alternate gates between inside and outside, for each race (so you have gates 1 & 3 in heat one, then your team then has gates 2 & 4 in heat two, and so on). The gate positions being reversed from heat number ten (so if you had gates 1 & 3 in heat one, you would now have gates 2 & 4 in heat ten). 3) Riders at numbers 1, 3 and 5 being allowed to take at least one additional rides per meeting in cases of rider replacement or injuries during the meeting. With riders at numbers 2, 4 and 6, being allowed two rides. All riders also being allowed to take one tactical substitution ride (which would count as additional ride. Riders allowed a maximum of eight rides (or seven rides if the fifteen heat formula was used), per meeting. The top three averaged riders in a team to ride at positions 1, 3 and 5, with the top averaged rider at the number 1 riding position. The lowest three averaged riders riding in any order, for numbers 2, 4 & 6. Using this formula most clubs would be able to keep the majority of their 2010 line-ups, and in some cases, some teams would be unchanged (expect for not having a seventh rider, of course). Please feel free to discuss.

I think most teams had junior matches now and again, during the second halves. I know Wimbledon did. I have now checked the speedway stars match reports from 1980, but I couldn't find any mention of full junior meetings meetings from this year.

Many thanks Steve, just can't remember why I didn't fill in the result.

Just looking back at my 1982 World Team Cup Final, raced at the much missed White City, programme. And for some reason I didn't fill in the Final of the Victor Ludorum race, even though I completed the qualifying races of the event. Was it raced? If it was does anyone have the 1982 Victor Ludorum Final race result.

I can't believe it, just looked at the retro-speedway website. And looked at the Boston speedway programmes, and on the 1976 edition they have their badge on the front cover. I didn't realize I already had one.

Incredible and totally inspirational.

Personally I think that the nominations should be scrapped. Bring back the GP Challenge, with the bottom seven riders in the GP standings racing against the top nine riders from the GP Final, with the top seven or eight (maybe even having no wild cards) making up the 2011 GP series. It would help the current GP riders as they wouldn't have to go through the GP qualifying rounds, thus making space for other riders to compete. And we would have the best riders in the GP, who have earned the place, this would make a proper World Championship. Nominations are just pure PC gone mad, just to please TV rights in countries, which as far as I'm concerned is wrong, riders should be there on merit only.

Here another strange one. In 1980 Wimbledon beat Eastbourne in a challenge match, at Plough Lane 49-29. The Wimbledon riders only scored two bonus points in the meeting, while the Eastbourne riders scored three bonus points. Strange or what.

No 2 Tomasz Gollob captain for me in Bydgoszcz please.

How about an article about the speedway badges of the 1970s. Maybe I would then know what to to look-out for, this could help me find a 1976 Boston badge.

This was a British league record at the time (1979)
