MattB Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago 2 hours ago, Neila said: But for this to happen British speedway has got to get it's house in order, clubs to give intention to run etc by the end of August, so these top riders can sign up and know where they are potentially gonna ride at in 2027, before they commit to other leagues Absolutely. Can guarantee the Polish clubs don't wait until November before they start talking to riders about the following season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more sceptical, given the track record of those in charge, may not quite believe it, however, let's hope for a "new start".... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Leicester should be welcoming this, they finally have a local rival in sport, (their football fans try and claim they have one with Forest, but it isn't a real derby, not like Forest v Derby).

Hamish McRaker Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Basso and Bangs would have been good at Northampton. At least the stadium isnt due to be demolished or the landlords wanting to evict. These days, that's a major advantage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW436 Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago I don’t particularly follow the sport that closely in this country since I don’t have a team to support anymore but its remarkable how we are at the point we are at with teams closing yet when a new one arrives people still can only find the negatives. They’ve done a fantastic job building that team in the timeframes they have been working to, hopefully it’s a success. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) Surely its the annual time of the year when people say Klindt is on a bargain average. As for the name..with H Man links with Reading..how about the Bulldogs ? Edited 7 hours ago by orion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Speedway? Is that still starting?"... I really think you are being unkind with your comments 😂. According to the newbies on this forum and those who post once in a generation, you should embrace the situation and be thankful for what the sport offers in this country because these contributors are so right and the likes of the long suffering followers are so wrong and need to dismissed as not following the rules which these members believe are correct and should not be challenged. In the meantime I will stick with the Polish version as I don’t understand the language and therefore the total boll..cks that may have or is being spoken goes right over my head unlike the UK version which needs no translation and leaves no doubt on where the sport stands in the eyes of a few.

The biggest rivalry in rugby union is Leicester and Northampton. The games can be pretty intense, like it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workington comets fans will disagree. He's been good for us barring the odd performance. Last time he rode in the prem, as a guest, he done well too. He'll be fine, especially in the position hes riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralMelchett Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 10 hours ago, CTRSports said: Exactly this if they all click on the same day, they may spring the odd surprise... Lidsey for me is in a similar bracket to Brennan, probably didn't expect to be a no.1 this season but hopefully pushes both riders on all capable of being inconsistent, if they all drop the ball same night they'll take a few hammerings but as said could surprise a few too, adds some interest... this season is a little weaker as we are missing some top line names so riders like Lidsey and Tom Brennan have their chance to step out from the shadows of riders like Doyle and Emil etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
