Think it lucky that GB Speedway Team has been subbed out or the team could very well have been Simon Lambert (c) Bomber Mark Lemon Peter Shocker & Middlo

Think big... for the season 😁

Said the same earlier on 😉

Great news. Would love to have been there for the first meeting, but not possible. Will be there in the coming weeks.

If true... (And I dont doubt it given your links to the sport).. It is ridiculous... Any sport needs a successful national team to get publicity for its domestic product, so needs its best competitors there.. Hence Cricket and Rugby Union ensured they had exclusive central contracts for players so they could dictate when they played the domestic game, meaning they were always ready for International matches.. In "minority" sports, national success sells it to a wider audience, and media, not any domestic success... There must be over a dozen riders (currently), better than the young man, not including Woffy and Ellis who have injury issues... It would be like England taking my lad to the World Cup because he plays semi pro level football..

Does the digits mean they are expecting to sell 10000?

You mean mummy and daddy are covering the costs like they have his whole career.

Great news, its been a long long time since we had a new team and lots of 'chatter' about this venture lets hope its a success!

Everyone has the right to be offended... But it is their choice to be so, no one puts them under pressure to take offense... If you are someone who is open to, and OK, in taking offense... Then just accept the right of someone else to offend you...

Great news! Can’t wait to get there at least once this season.

Think maybe this is a result of cost cutting measures as well, Like SGP the money available to each team is significantly lower than what has previously been offered hence why the qualifying has been tagged onto GP weekends to keep costs down. My understanding is that Will Cairns offered to attend for experience and cover the costs himself where as riders like Dan T would have to miss meetings in UK along with high travel costs especially with cost of diesel at present

Great news.... Fingers crossed it all works out.....

24 years ago... You had Sky Sports coverage, usually a match per week, and around a million quid put into the league a season by them.. Meaning Sky Sports News showed highlights on top of the live action, which was often on SS1.... The largest Sports Channel on the planet even sponsored the league via their Skybet arm... You also had (apart from Mr T Gollob), the worlds best 20 or so riders riding over here... Riding on nights that clubs could engage their largest crowds. which meant Wednesday racing, Friday racing, and Saturday racing in the Elite League... A very different offering than what we have today...

Think most Berwick fans wouldn’t wanted him to test out Armadale😂.Before his unfortunate injury.

Cairns getting practice in before going to Germany to ride on a totally different surface

Is Paco getting a ban.

To be fair Reid has only had 1 away meeting so a bit early to judge him. Hopefully Hagon has a good meeting to hopefully put Berwick top of the table at Glasgow's expense should we win both meetings at the weekend.

The only way I can see promotion and relegation working in Speedway is with the removal of the points limit, this way clubs will find the level that they can truly run at and you won't get somebody like Scunny winning the CL (difficult to believe) and not being able to afford to move up. It's got to happen, can't see it ever will though not in its truest sense, if it ever did it'd be some kind of contrived version of promotion & relegation.

I’ll say it again.. no promotion or relegation , meetings with no jeopardy, nothing depending on the outcome of the results. It’s all meaningless. Different sport but look at the interest in the spurs / West Ham relegation fight. Where is the actual interest in speedway now because I’m not seeing it. Promotion and relegation can’t be done people say. Well it needs to happen however way it does. People are losing interest and turning away. As for the younger generation, forget it in its current state.

Agree fair play to Greg Blair for presenting his perspective on the events discussed. I’ve always found his presentations entertaining and while some may find his style controversial, I believe he’s on the right track. Speedway needs people like Greg and, as someone mentioned, Porky at Wolverhampton. I know they’re not for everyone but their presence would make the sport much duller.

Isn't everybody?

Is Dan Gilkes eligible to ride in the NDL?

Maybe Hagon does but away from Berwick Battye is yet to show anything like he does at home. Dayle will most likely score way more at the dale.
