Biggest mistake British speedway made was to abolish compulsory junior teams.

Russell looking to sell up ..get money for the club and not get the blame for when it closes down . He loves it when a plan comes together .

I'm sure you will find it was for financial reasons the Rebels dropped from the Premier league. However I think the common view that Wednesday proved a far better choice of race night, only because it avoided the Friday M5 jams. So if you have a way to avoid the Friday traffic jams I'm sure the Hancocks would like to know!

Should have substituted committee for chairman.

It should have been Stars/Panthers/Witches in one group then Buster could have started penning his press release about how proud he was having a team qualify for the final.

I assure you transportation on a wed is far easier than a Friday

The under 19 meeting was a great meeting. More BSPA meetings should be at Foxhall. Plenty enough room for the visiting fans and even half full wpuld generate a good atmosphere

How about Chapman addressing Panthers fans , the very people he will be relying on for support , rather than just a staged managed press conference. I won't hold my breath though .

Good evening last night with all the riders in attendance for the unveiling of our new Sponsors Touch Tec. There was a real buzz about the place and already seems great team spirit between the lads. Roll on April...

Redcar awarded two prestigious events in 2019. British Semi-Final on Fri.31st May. British U-19 Final on Thurs.15th August.

Well said chunky Steve

reading all the post on here I think all us supporters are giving this idea a no no well mostly of us

In this day and age of modern technology there is absolutely no excuse for not communicating , even if you are 12,000 miles away.

Absolutely correct. Another piece of fixture planning straight out of the compost heap ...

Swindon at home on the Thursday before & then Ipswich at home the day after. I can't see many Panthers fans being at the fours.

Last season Rye House Lakeside and Eastbourne regularly had 150 and 250 pre meeting racing. With 2 of those clubs gone who will continue this vital experience for these young boys.

Gonna be a while before you see your first Stars win then

Everyone assumed that of Iversen last year.

But at least everyone will know where they stand. Pay up at the end of each meeting and a rider will turn up for the next (considering how easy it is to do via bank transfer these days). Should never be situations where riders ride for 9 meetings without getting paid. No pay, no ride but no risk of being banned.

I'm shocked he didn't fill all ten places! Steve

Apologies Leander. Took my own advice and read the article again. What you say is correctly quoted. The misunderstanding on my side is that Mason states he will be 27 in two years, getting too late to start over again. He will be 26 for the 2020 season so wrongly assumed he would have to miss two seasons. As you say, great shame he has been forced into this situation, again.

Bagpuss explained and you asked the same question to the answer!!

because nothing at all regarding the Swindon track/stadium has been secretive has it Sidney ....

Am surprised there is not a challenge at the start of the season to test the track out

Don't forget the NSS infamous opening night disaster

We can keep this really simple : Beaton, Beaton, Beaton, McKinna, McKinna, McKinna, McMillan, McMillan, Templeton, Templeton. Steve

How splendid of you to post in response to your post which had no other responses posted in between your previous posted responses... Steve

Just a thought, with the fans having the vote on which riders rides heat 15, isn't this going to dramatically increase the delay between heats 14 and 15. Buster already likes a 10min break, are we going to see 20min delays?!?

Good point but I doubt they thought about that when the press release was posted.

Not a big fan of Aussies generally speaking, but here goes... P.Crump L.Adams

The Eastbourne programme is excellent, but at a pound dearer it should be. For me personally, I'd be happy enough with a simple race card.

No mention that Chris Harris will be riding in it representing Somerset then , yet there are other ex Panthers named , Maybe Chapman thinks he will be too expensive.

Has the date been confirmed for the British Under 21 Semi Final? It still says TBC on the SGB website. Good news though, the pairs has been announced for Friday 20th September. Thursday 19th September Swindon at home to Poole, Friday the pairs at the OTA and off to Cardiff on the Saturday. Fit in a few rounds of golf and that's my long weekend sorted.

Phil.

The league is pretty weak though and he does ride our track well so I don't see why he can't. There are not many riders who look like they can score 15 points against us like Freddie and NKI in the league this this year. Lambert will still be a problem of course and Cook could be if he gets his setup right but other than that I am not too worried.

Firstly I am of an age to remember when we had a team full of local riders. My mum first took me to Foxhall in 1976. Although I’ve been going to speedway for over 40 years I still remember the past but I don’t live in it. On here I read posts about how teams should be built and wonder if some posters know what is going on in speedway nowadays. On the positive side I believe the Witches will surprise a lot of you. I’ve compared the teams rider v rider and there is not a lot in it.

He’s averaged around 7.30 away the last two seasons so I don’t see that changing much, maybe drop to 7. He didn’t get on with Leicester as a home track and only averaged 6. I’d be surprised if he hit a home average of 10 like he did at the NSS last time and if things are really bad he could drop a point off that so he’ll end up about 8 overall. Hope I’m wrong though and the Ace Kenneth returns.

Can only be thankful the Championship teams stayed well clear of this, I know it’s something different but don’t see it being the answer.

I remember going to Scunny for the winter meeting and standing between the tapes and first bend wondering why nobody was standing by me. Heat 1 tapes up and 3 seconds later I could have auditioned for the black and white minstrels

They have to get a job then like they used to

Maybe people should refrain from positive posts about the team, at least give the lads a chance to prove how poor they are Seriously though, nothing worse than people telling others what they should be doing.

Some of us don't do censorship, especially on a public forum

Without the offer(s) of financial support it's fair to say Worky's position at the AGM would have been one of not coming to tapes in 2019. The fact that the support wasn't subsequently forthcoming ultimately resulted in the very untimely withdrawal and the putting of the licence on 'ice'.

If what you say is true. Buster is going to go bust, taking on 3 teams to try and keep the Prem going , while had a good thing going with his King's Lynn !! Tell me how he is going to make money after buying 2 more clubs at this time in speedway when it's on it's arse and loosing money? Right or wrong he is trying to save the Prem.

Lets hope that Jack Holder is a changed man

Most probably the best thing about speedway at this time A huge undertaking and an absolute god send to all fans across the country Many thanks to Sue and all the texters and updaters everywhere
