From Bandits' media briefing -- regarding Saturday night's meeting -- this morning: There is a doubt over reserve Jack Smith who is recovering after being involved in a major crash along with former Bandits Rider of the Year Connor Coles at Buxton on Sunday. If he is unable to ride then Berwick will call up a guest replacement.

I don't as Speedway in the UK only attracts about 0.1% of its population

That’s how he is unfortunately

Hey... that's the Knock-Out Cup for you 😂 Welcome to Speedway 👍

Aren't some of the top tier promoters part of the consortium of seven who are running Northampton? I would imagine they would be pleased to have Northampton reaching the play offs given the plan is to sell up as soon as it is shown to be a viable proposition...

Problem is after the issues all winter with trying to cobble together a top league Belle Vue have had poor early crowd numbers and that's with having two of the most exciting riders on the planet and one of the best tracks in the country. Hopefully we will have some big news from Harry soon with maybe Linda cutting the tape at the KO cup final.

Where’s the pics of dans back wheel?

I think the Foxes can be satisfied with their start, two decent scores away from home and several riders performing above the expectations of many.

1st SWC Semi-final in Landshut is a week away on Friday 1st May start time 6pm UK time. I have searched TNT Sports and cannot find it listed and HBO Max don’t appear to have a proper daily schedule( that i can find). Can someone else have a look ? Edit via TNT sports i have now found it listed on HBO Max only. With GB riding in the meeting and TNT having 4 channels i find it amazing that it’s only on HBO Max

Moto GP has been on a break but restarts this weekend.

Can see Ipswich struggling this year . Not that it matters in the sport these days. Packed their team with average riders , decent scorers if it’s their day . Would find it hard to be entertained by them. No big hitters. As it’s about entertainment at the end of the day, hats off to Lemon. Kurtz and Bewley as two of the most exciting raiders in the world provide that home and away. The Aces fans are thankful for that . Other clubs and their supporters should be too . Never mind what the rest of Belle Vue team is like. These two more than make up for anything else . Who cares who wins the honours?? Just enjoying the racing is what matters imo

Dan gilkes must be available soon if fit or are you staying with kyle, I know who I'd prefer if I was a Poole fan.

Easier said than done at the dump

Did he fall off 😜

Ryan was fine just a bit battered and bruised, However Jack Holders foot could be a worse thing after getting it caught in Dan Thompson rear wheel in heat 15, photos of wheel are on social media and Jacks foot looked rather sore .

Seems like Douglas was OK to walk to pits, so should be OK.

What happened to Douglas?

I see the Premiership KOC finalists have been decided before Northampton have hosted either of their home matches, not an ideal situation to bring in a decent crowd! However maybe the locals won't be aware of the situation & turn up anyway, plus most clubs usually get big crowds for their opening nights.

Hard racing between Howarth and Picko, nothing malicious in it for me. As for the scuffle after the race, it’s the entertainment business after all! Dickson knew exactly what he was doing with Howarth in heat 13 when D.Thompson was the better speedway decision, I’m all for it.

Easier said than done,only Monarchs reserves look vulnerable at Home.Monarchs Heatleaders are strong at home.Redcar look more strength in depth. Ht13/15 will be the key to this one. IMO

I've not seen Spencer ride this year, it's a general comment about wanting riders to be given a fair chance before making team changes. If he's been well off the pace & not looking like beating anyone, then maybe I'd think differently? After Grmek had a poor first match & with Klima about to move into the top 5, they could look very suspect at reserve & wish they'd gone for Alfie Bowtell?

Bears just need to defend , no last places, close match ,12 lead should be enough

Good to see Coleman there again fully hands on considering one particular naysayer said he’d be far too busy and wouldn’t be seen.

Looking at the first photo, Stead is about to wade in with his biro. The pen is mightier than the sword? 😄

With new ownership and a good start this seems like a seamless transition from last year. Interesting that many have written us off before the season has started. However, make no mistake this team is solid and barring injuries that can happen I think this will be a solid season and I think the owners should take a lot of credit for the seamless transition and professionalism that has continued.
