Is this a typo and you meant to put 30 points? I can’t see any conceivable way Birmingham restrict this Ipswich team to a maximum 10 point win around Foxhall whether Birmingham are at Full strength or not.

He didn’t say Foxhall was a better track, just that it can hold more fans…which is correct sidenote, (and I’m not saying it’s should or has to be Ipswich where I’m a fan) but I think it would be superb to see a Grand Prix on a small tight technical track like we have in the UK, I love my speedway and the Grand Prix series but much of it is all on the same style big open space tracks. I was never a fan of lakeside particularly but some of the best racing I’ve seen was the likes of Ward and Woffinden round there!

The last update on the Save Peterborough Speedway Facebook page was this 20 hours ago. Election of Mayor for the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority Area 1 May 2025 The candidates are: Paul Bristow, The Conservative Party Candidate Ryan Coogan, Reform UK Lorna Dupre, Liberal Democrat Bob Ensch, Green Party candidate Anna Smith, Labour and Co-operative Party We sent the following email to all the candidates. We will publish the responses we received on Monday 28th April, it may help you decide who you wish to cast your vote for. Dear (Salutation) The sport of motorcycle Speedway has been established at the East of England Showground in Peterborough since 1970 and has competed at the highest level in the U.K. as a team (Peterborough Panthers) winning numerous trophies. Individually the club has been the home to several individual national and world champions. The team has been featured on worldwide live television broadcasts bringing the City of Peterborough to the living rooms of people from Europe, Australasia and the Americas. Peterborough City Council’s reaction to the possibility of development of the East of England Showground Speedway track has been inappropriate and inadequate. Will you please confirm that if elected you will: 1) Ensure that the new Local Plan protects and preserves the East of England Showground Speedway track. 2) Ensure that local and national policies for the protection of sporting facilities and the Speedway track are applied. 3) Ensure that Council Officers uphold and apply the law. Please do not hesitate to contact us if any questions arise. Thanking you in advance. Yours sincerely For and on behalf of: Forever Panthers Limited  

Today is the 40th anniversary of Billy’s passing and the club are marking the occasion with a special second half.  a plaque and mural have been in Billy’s pit space ever since.  Fondly remembered and never forgotten  even when the compulsory pit hoarding covered the mural a replica one soon was on the pits wall.  I remember going to foxhall 40 years ago and how surreal and sense of absolute shock at foxhall.  I guess many fans will want to remember Billy and once again pay our respect   The second half will be much more significant to many than the league meeting. 

Surprise surprise, the usual anti-Glasgow suspects found it funny.

On the day both can be very good round Owlerton so it makes sense in a way to bring them in, I don't see Sheffield not getting to the playoffs and a lot can happen between now and Sept. Overall weaker for sure but overall probably the correct thing to do!
