There`s an interview with Buster Chapman over on the BSPA site where he says he received an email yesterday that would clarify matters, about time to I hear you cry. Seems the deadline for the future of speedway at Coventry has been extended and then extended further, at some point a line needs to be drawn and a decision made, that line appeared to be yesterday but so far no word.

At some point a decision has to be made about the future of Coventry Speedway, talks cant be allowed to go on for ever, so whether its positive or negative news I think we need to know.

Agree with this, maybe not with Mr Chapman every time, but maybe on a monthly bases on the BSPA site we could have an interview with someone from the management committee, referee etc. Might even help fans understand why certain decisions were made, or help understand the day to day running of all three leagues.

Oh how every wish they had two main team sponsors.

It would certainly been a nice touch to have used Rymel`s company to make the race suits but it appears not. On a positive note it appears Liam Carr is very well set up for the year, to the extent of helping out his new team mates.

Just watched Buster`s interview from the BSPA site and I enjoyed it, I thought he came over well and spoke a lot of sense. Looks like their will be trouble ahead regarding riders who choose to ride in Poland.

Robert Lambert will be a busy boy in 2017 having signed in Poland for Lublin.

Your not serious.....are you.

This story comes around from time to time, so far without ever seeing a brick in the ground. If, and it is an if, this gets off the ground I doubt speedway would stay at Shielfield, think about how much the Council would make by re-developing the site for housing.

If this was to ever get out of the planning stage it would of course be great for the town and the area, bit of a worry however that there is no mention, at this stage, of speedway being part of the plans. http://www.berwick-advertiser.co.uk/sport/football/new-stadium-and-sporting-facilities-proposed-for-berwick-1-4334883

Hearing that Eric Riss has packed up his long track racing, something that will help Edinburgh for their weekend fixtures.

Does a captain really make that much of a difference.

In a major new year message, Rathbone confirmed a takeover deal with previous owners, Readypower has been finalised. And while he chose to keep the figures involved confidential, Rathbone did reveal that the financial backing of major sponsor T Balfe Construction has also enabled the purchase of track equipment which will immediately be placed under the control of the Peterborough Panthers Supporters' Club (PPSSC). Rathbone said: "I'm delighted to be able announce the sale of the club from Readypower has gone through. "I must pass on my thanks to Rick Frost and Julie Mahoney, who have always been very professional in our dealings. "I'm grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to keep speedway going in Peterborough and both sides have since stuck firmly to the plan we put in place. "On the surface very little changes, but behind the scenes this purchase will make the club far more financially secure. "All speedway matters - on and off the track - are now under our control and thanks to the generosity of T Balfe Construction, we have been able to buy equipment which will be handed over to the PPSSC. "It is all about providing long-term security and giving a fantastic bunch of supporters a say in the future.. "The time will come when I move on - although I hope it won't be anytime soon - and I don't want the club to be in a position where all the hard work goes to waste and speedway in Peterborough is under threat again." Rathbone, who stepped in following the 2014 season to ensure racing continued at the East of England Showground, insists his business model of attempting to deliver SGB Championship success while living within the club's means will not change. He added: "Speedway clubs have to cut their cloth accordingly in these tough financial times. "I've always been adamant from day one that we have to be able to pay our way - and so far we have managed to do that. "We will never spend beyond our means to chase glory only to put the future of the club in jeopardy. "We have a very solid management team in which everyone knows their role and has the future of the club at heart. "We've attracted very pleasing attendances during the past two seasons and I'll be over the moon if that continues in 2017. "We're always looking to attract new fans and that work will continue in 2017 by spreading the speedway word in Peterborough and beyond." http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=82669&page=145

Haven`t got far to travel either, just to the end of your wrist.

Lets hope Santa has a spare dictionary going when he does his rounds.

Best wishes Bryn for a speedy recovery.

If they are there providing a service to getting a Saturday nights speedway on at Berwick I see no problem with them gaining free entry, is there one or two to many people getting in free who shouldn't, yes there probably is but I would think you could say the same at many tracks these days.

Lewis Bridger is also due a testimonial, though I`m not sure that it would be held at Berwick.

Silly post.
