Gavan Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago Lidsey would be an awful signing the guy can’t ride our place why would you sign a rider hoping he can improve at your track when clearly he can’t do that He would have the odd good race when he pops out the start because the guy can’t pass wind How average over 7.5 is inflated because he goes well at the NSS Must be better options out there surely If he signs for us I would give him 100% support but I think it would be an awful signing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW436 Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Jaimon Lidsey strikes me as a rider that you hear what he could be but never quite will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they realised Speedway in the UK couldn't be changed If it’s true about the new owners at Ipswich then hopefully it might work out. British speedway is in even more of a mess than when BSI got involved at Reading. British speedway needs this to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Using the excellent speedway-stats website, here are the last three years at Foxhall Jaimon 2023 6.13 2024 5.78 2025 5.33 17.24 Musielak 2025 3.64 2023 8.73 2022 5.00 17.37 Becker 2025 7.56 2024 5.78 2023 5.00 18.34 It’s interesting how cold hard stats without any petty bias (or trolling) tell a more factually correct story. Opinions are fine but please don’t present them as fact without even checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTopDrawer Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Weren't the Polish press recently trying to spread stories around that Richard Coleman (Mayfield Sports Events) was spreading himself too thinly? Weren't they suggesting he couldn't possibly run the 2026 SGP series as he was obliged to be at the MotoGP events at the same time? They must think it strange if someone who is already badly overstretched would be wanting to run a British Speedway team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Mayfield eyeing Foxhall as a potential venue for the Speedway Grand Prix in future years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
