Bring it on less foreign riders more opportunities for young British riders build again from the bottom. Weaken the teams in the short term to strengthen the product in the long term. After COVID and brexit it's a free hit so go for it

He is wrong your 1 to 7 will change April 21 will prove it but sure announcement will be made prior to then.

more than the tax man was told he was on?

It is informed by knowledge of the consequences of brexit and the existing work permit regime, so more than pure speculation.

Everyone will want to keep the same 7 if poss.

Possibly too much, as he didn't earn much on track, or,,, maybe not enough to be bothered? A wonder if he felt like the littlest hobo, remember him?

Maybe ruffas but how much was he getting tho that's the jackpot quiz question

Yet another thing that will end up in tiers.... I can though foresee some very tight regulation of "the rules" given the focus on Brexit from the many within Parliament who voted for it... Boris will need to ensure all those back bench MP's who dislike the EU immensely, are kept 'onside' not just for Brexit, but for the myriad of tough decisions that lie ahead that he has to make.. Therefore, it wouldn't surprise me to see 'zero tolerance' as the initial stance, with the plan being to free up employment positions for UK nationals, with even more focus than ever on this given the expected economic downturn and reduction in jobs available... The "rules" and there 'to the letter' implementation will certainly be under very close scrutiny....

Challenge final is 22nd May in Krsko SLO

Yeh I saw the one with John Davis, will look up Hans Nielsen- anybody else from the sixties to early seventies in this series-e.g. Martin Ashby, Trevor Hedge etc.

I see the line coming from Godfrey 'but this is speedway'

Just as well lockdown has ended - you can get yourself down to the barbers to sort out those split hairs you seem to have accumulated

Yes, but the above example is precisely a decision that should be taken by an independent commission according to the rules in place. The underlying rules should still be decided by the promoters though, no matter how daft they may be. Bottom line though, is that Crapper would surely have known the rules about replacement riders and was probably trying it on. Even if it was just a missing bit of paperwork, the onus was on him to ensure it was registered wherever it was supposed to be registered. Whether or not a squad system is impractical in speedway, so many promoters have abused the guest and rider replacement rules and is one of the reasons why the sport has no credibility so many have walked away after one too many pisstakes.

I respect Dean’s opinion but I would pay to watch speedway at Belle Vue whether it was Toruń mark two or a track in a field. As it is the NSS is a pretty good stadium anyway and I have always found the view and atmosphere excellent on either straight. British speedway has had little to enthuse about in recent years but the NSS really is. One of the best tracks in the world without a doubt.

It was all here till 3 weeks ago tero collected it and shipped it back to Finland for him. Jesse did use both of Nike's chassis at the son one had his own engine the other had Nike's in it .

Sorry. I don't know. It says construction cost, but that is translated https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrum_Sportów_Motorowych_w_Łodzi Isn't 50M ZLOTY about £10m?

Absolutely brilliant... Love it... I do hope the fans flock back... I tell everyone where I go at work about the Speedway and most people say "is that still going I used to go and I wouldn't mind popping back again" If we could encourage half of the lapsed fans to return it wiuld make a massive difference to the club... I hope everyone spreads the word and I am really looking forward to my Covid jab and getting back to Brough come Easter... Good luck Rob and if any one deserves it your the man... Regards THJ

Copied and Pasted off Facebook: Newcastle Speedway Supporters Group It's been a year to the day since Rob Grant, put pen to paper and signed on the dotted line and successfully took over the reigns at Newcastle Speedway. Not many, if anybody, would have been able to predict the difficulties the year ahead would hold in store for Rob and his team. Under his first year as Newcastle promoter Rob has had to deal with and rectify some pretty serious financial issues, that could have seen Newcastle Diamonds lost forever. He's also had to make sure we have a stadium to still call home next year, whilst also dealing with a global pandemic that hasn't just affected his new speedway business but also his very successful Butchers and catering business as well, and whilst all of this has been going on, Rob hasn't even managed to get a wheel turned under his new management, which very well may be the very harsh salt in to the even bigger wounds. Now all of this may have been enough to make some people to walk away from the role, but not Rob. If anything, it has made him even more determined to make sure that when we do eventually get the green light on British Speedway again, that 2021 is going to be a season to remember! He has assured the Supporters Group during a conversation today, that he is "raring more than ever to get going" and get the "new era at Newcastle Speedway firmly underway". That enthusiasm that he so keenly demonstrated at the beginning of his takeover is obviously still very much alive and he promises to "put all his blood, sweat and tears in to making sure Newcastle Diamonds Speedway once again shines brightly in the forefront of people's minds". He would also like to sincerely thank everyone that has stood by him during these very testing times and he is extremely grateful for the support he has, and is continuing, to receive. We here at the Supporters group are firmly behind Rob and we can't wait to get the 2021 season going under a new promotion who has nothing but Newcastle Speedway's best interests at the forefront of his mind. There are some very truly exciting times ahead Diamonds Fans and we will see you all trackside very very soon!!

And as no one knows the rules for visas post Brexit this is total speculation. Riss has already stated he’d like to be back at Kings Lynn and Redcar so no story there either.
