THE BIG ONE! KO CUP FINAL (BANDITS and GLADIATORS) Saturday 10th, 7pm


Recommended Posts

A lot of those special edition £10 caps have to be sold to make a dent in the required air fence figure.

Hopefully a cashed up speedway fan or local businesses will help out, or maybe the bar bandits will get a few new members joining in the frivolities next Saturday.

I'd like to think a  regular championship venue will not close because of this?

The irony with them being more people got in free than paid! 

I paid at Newport every home meeting, pleased to know I was subsidising the non payers under the Mallet  guardianship !

I usually sat with the one time manager of the Mavericks conference side ( PT), and know he paid as well ,so there were at least 2 of us paying !

I thought Plymouth were supposed to be getting really good gates this season? Where has the money gone? 
seriously though, maybe they would be better off being a Nora track/training track? I’m no fan of it but if you can teach youngsters to ride Plymouth, they can ride anywhere.

Gates have been much improved but fell short of a 46k profit unfortunately.

You may not like it but plenty do including 7 times British champion and quite a few top riders at championship level. British speedway can ill afford to lose any track despite your opinion.

I presume Klima won't be riding as he's been listed in the Czechs team for the Euro Pairs on Saturday 

If so, much might depend on a chosen guest.        

Bandits supporters will have fingers crossed this week -- Jordan Jenkins rides tonight and tomorrow, PK and Jye Etheridge are in Thursday's Premier play-off and Nick Morris is guesting for Glasgow at Edinburgh on Friday night.

A real spirit of adventure among those of the black and gold persuasion now, with quite a few choosing to join the trophy quest, the grand expedition to Devon.  

Saturday Night Fever!

Sentiment dictates we can’t afford to lose another track, reality suggests it’s going to be a constant struggle to keep a lot of venues open financially.

But in the case of Plymouth, if 500 of their fans donated 100 pounds to the club that would pay for a new fence and a bit more.

Also my opinion on the track has no bearing on whether it will be around next season, that will be down to your fans or your promoter to find the money.

Tell us the “would” be 10pt “ringer”.See Plymouth managed to tell Klima to ask if he can ride in Europe on Sat 🤔😂😂

Jack is injured, did you miss the novel about his hip? Had to be lifted on the bike in the first leg, has been to pre op for his hip. He has said he is injured but completely willing to ride. I think even if we wanted a guest we wouldn’t get away with it. I fully expect Jack to be riding. His away record is terrible everywhere but I fully expect he will be a bandit in 27.
