All Activity

I first went to Arlington in 1976, aged 10, went to a few meetings each season until 1981 and then I was hooked. Gordon Kennett, Kelly moran, what a top two and then next season we added Ron Preston and still didn't win anything!!

Off topic perhaps but i havent seen john walsh at northside in a while anyone know how he is doing,always think of him as the voice of derwent park .

Only for Friday ticket holders i gather.

I am really confident that i have got myself sorted out for the 1st of the 2 spreads next weekend. GP round 3 Belle Vue Friday 5th June start time 7pm Zmarzlik 15 - 17 Kurtz 15 - 17 Lambert 13 - 15 Jack Holder 11 - 13 Woryna 11 - 13 Madsen 11 - 13 MJJ 10 - 12 Dudek 10 - 12 Fricke 7 - 9 Thomsen 6 - 8 Doyle 5 - 7 Lebedevs 5 -7 Huckenbeck 4 - 6 Brennan 3 - 5 Kvech 2 - 4 Parnitskyi 2 - 4 There will be a new spread for Saturday’s round 4 which i hope to do on the morning of the meeting- start time 7pm same as Friday.

Some brilliant names in that list halcyon days for sure sadly missed.

Oh I thought he was talking about himself!

Wonder if he would be willing to double up to give his confidence a boost

Can anyone tell me if there was a programme produced for this event? If there was and you have spare I would love to buy it from you. Thanks

Think your spot on he builds team's to win at home and losses to be paired to the bone as much as possible its a shame the team's not doing better especially with the two young lads going well at reserve, Paco a weak link but who do you get in ? but if the other four all clicked to back up the young boys they would surprise a few of the other teams. Any idea how things are with sponsorship these days bald bloke I stopped going early 90's but wasn't there a fella called Roger Warne's who pumped a lot of money into the club is he still involved in any way ?

Any sign of the pit gate in the biblical floods ?

Be aware.... If you want to see practice and the sprint race on Friday you'll need a free ticket: https://mpv.tickets.com/schedule/?agency=BVMS_MPV&orgid=53193#/sales_groups;salesGroupType=ACCOUNT_PROTECTED Also..... Practice starts at 2:00 p.m. but the parking at St Peter's school does not open till 4:30 p.m. I queried this with BV and they recommend the park and ride. They did offer to refund my St Peter's booking.

No its mdf so it will sink

I hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if King's Lynn released Castagna and then Mayfield sign him as a No.6.

I don't disagree with that, but why post about it on an Ipswich thread ? Previous references to him on here have been accusations of him not pulling his weight away from home for Belle Vue and that he has other priorities. All you have done is to back up that theory. 😉

At least the trophy cabinet will float as its never had anything in it.

I’d recommend the Longsite Sports & Social club down the road. There’s a collectors fare on and Lynn & Co will ply you with cheap booze. Plenty of banter with our Polish friends as well plus lots of speedway memorabilia to idle the time away with (mostly Aces based).

We all like to see our favourite riders do well , in whatever league in whatever country I reckon

The ultimate issue was Poland becoming top dog simple as that ,, Hardly any guests are used now in the Top flight these days due to fixed race nights and but it has little effect of improving crowds . So going on about guests is a myth and always has been .

Followed by Middlo, but won’t ride further north than Northampton 😬

That’s fair comment. Can’t argue with that.

And 100% allowed to do so by British Speedway itself...

Followed by Dean Barker and David Norris

Sorry but I disagree with both of you. I’ve been watching Speedway for more years than I care to remember, as have many. I’d like to think I can spot a rider who’s trying hard, but struggling, and one that isn’t. It hasn’t been the lack of scoring from Bangs that has disappointed me so far, it’s been a distinct lack of real effort that to me looks as plain as day. If others want to disagree that’s fine, no problem with that. But nothing will change my mind. Something just hasn’t been right with him right from the get go. Perhaps he’ll return (I’m not convinced) and whatever issues he’s having will be resolved? We can only hope that’s the case

Lewis Bridger next for a comeback?

Would have loved to have been in my 20s in the 70s and known about speedway, all those tracks I could potentially visit, I would have loved to have been able to go to White City, Custom House, Rayleigh and Romford to name four off the top of my head. Lots of of teams, lots of riders, high in quality too, what’s not to love?
