I personally think its shocking how Scunthorpe have announced all this about Allen whilst he is still competing in the play offs for Redcar. Just sums up what a terrible chairman Godfrey really is.

Some very good points made tonight at the meeting & thanks must go to John Courtney who spoke very well & to Steve Brock for getting it all together .. good evening it was

Even Oxford fans don't want Swindon to close, but you have to be a realist where Gaming International are concerned.

Glad the Aces have gone with RR... The sport is Mickey Mouse enough as it is without a Semi Final being influenced 'for one night only' by someone from a team that failed to qualify.. You should win or lose as a team... Incredible to believe I know... But bad luck and injuries affect other sports too.... Not just (UK) Speedway...

A year of high quality entertainment at the MPA and still at least one more fixture to go home and away. Who would you like to see at Redcar next season? For me it's the following AGM permitting Wright K.Andersen MPT/Kerr Stefan Nielsen/Jordan Stewart Riss Jenkins Kemp/Sarj

Having spent many happy evenings at Blunsden I think that it's an absolute disgrace the way Swindon fans have been toed along...and that's from an Oxford fan the enemy down the road!

The future of the Diamonds is looking rosey. Rumour has it that a certain gentleman is confident of selling a nearby football club to an Arab buyer and is keen to maintain a sporting interest in the area by making Granty an offer for the club that he will not be able to refuse. Can’t say too much more at this stage, but the future ‘Sports Direct Diamonds’ are likely to be awash with cash and ready to recruit Europe’s finest riders. Team manager cannot be named, but we shall refer to him as ‘Brucie’, has no experience in the sport but has blagged his way through football management for years apparently. Box ticked. His tactical approach will be to aim for 3-3s in every heat and wait for the opposition to make mistakes to gain heat advantages.

Yes but we have always been led to believe that our time is limited at Brough and in the long term we need to look for another site. More rumours about rumours at the moment.

I think most fans were never to worried about a new stadium and were more than happy to stay in the old one . Of course a new Stadium looked like it would secure a long time future for the sport in the town but of course Gam int have plotted, hoodwinked and conned every one as they do every time useing the building of the New Stadium to stop Swindon from running hoping to kill the club off so they can knock the old Stadium down with no one caring enough anymore to stop them . As i said already said its matter of time before the work will stop for some reason stopping us from running in 2023 as well

Really god most Robins fans have trusted people and in LIFE in general.I believe the Robins are finished, i was deluded thinking that things would work out in my heart wanted things to pan out well .I can’t see it now houses to be built on the Abbey soon it will be demolished when it suits them.

Predictable? Yes (without Laguta) but boring? Some really good battles tonight. You should be grateful that you are not watching Vetlanda vs Rospiggarna. That would have been boring.

Oxford would be better off following the isle of Wight style of meetings, it has to be better than the BSPL

Its been sad from start to finish from the club ....Still not one person will say how it is or question it .

Look like he made a typo. Meant to put boring instead of great.

I hope not can't stand Poole, been great without them.

Well having announced that they (Oxford) intend to race on Fridays - then they won't be replacing Swindon in the Premiership will they?

This is indeed the question that really needs answering

Going by that theory you or I should have a place in the GP series Both of his podiums came on his home track, yes for a wildcard in Poland, no for a wildcard for the whole series imo

JA £10k in 1979 = £50k today. Also nice to see a healthy crowd... on Scotsman's corner

How come it’s open 5 days a week during construction for greyhound racing yet speedway can’t return til building is completed. Why can’t the stadium be closed on the back straight while the new stand is erected. Once that is up and running then you could close the other half of the stadium and demolish the old stand. it’s not difficult

Potentially there could be 4 newcomers each year, 3 from GP Challenge and 1 as Euro Champ, that is more then 25% of the field. I am happy with the current system which takes top 6 auto for next year and selectors pick 5, which potentially could be 5 newcomers through to 5 from the current year who are still of the right quality, and anything in between those extremes. Very flexible, I am ok with it.

Maybe, maybe not The ice speedway world championships has become more and more limited in that respect as the majority of the worlds best riders belong to one country, Russia. So limits are put on the number of Russians, to keep it a ‘world’ championship, in the sense that they want to keep as much of the world involved and interested and financially active The Football world finals also limit the amount of countries from the strongest continent (s) to give the rest of the world the chance to participate There are some merits in this

Maybe he is social distancing still!

Let’s hope the relationship with the stadium people enable track work to be carried out as racing dire this year.

Couldn't possibly say, it's a 'could' happen thing,,, some things can be discussed 'face to face' and not for social media.

Hmm probably Steve Worrall on current form.

Orion, for me i am not not to worried about the new stadium yet to not run again( no Covid excuses says it all).Not surprised they could still run in the old stadium and be viable 1, 200 plus most meetings think that is it end of angry upset gutted.

It was said that Rob wanted a 3 or 5 year agreement, and was told by the Stadium owners "NO. 1 year or nothing!". Relations appear to have improved as, I believe, a two year deal for next season is on the table.

Sheffield hav nt bottled it Sheffield are not good enough end of .we got into the playoffs via 4th place we ve had a poor season carrying Batchelor and Nielsen getting injured . Has I understand it to bottle it you have to be favourite s and throw it away . in my eyes i make Peterborough the favourites they’ve been the best side all season that s why they finished top and should be champions

Probably a lot of truth in that!

Apart from the press release he made saying he wanted to look for a new place to build the track

Do you not have to declare in Nov at the AGM for next season.

Ah !!! a fact is therefore not a fact

If the top league stops running, then the Championship becomes the top league and thus becomes the Premiership by default.

No. Swindon would need to declare at the upcoming AGM

We used granite at Wimbledon, to give the track some bite, after the Saturday stock car meetings.

I have seen him a few times in the pits at Scunny so I’m not sure will just have to see wouldn’t surprise me if he all of a sudden gets announced for next year because I was aware he had so personal issues that he has now sorted

King's Lynn just want a team!

That’s the rumour

I see that you're a stevebrum clone, this'll be never ending, much like where the (oops, rain!) does or doesn't stop, G'day

Sounds reasonable to me, it is not as if any bank could have anticipated the month would end, or had ever experienced one before

So they could/should have called it off at 17:30?

400 plus miles there and back in October? With only a 50/50 chance of meetings taking place this month I would say if the past couple if weeks are anything to go by.. Going to the SON both days and that is a ten mile round trip. And that gives me doubts...

Ron Henderson of Newcastle who averaged 5.8 in his debut season of 1975, increased it to 8.3 in 1976 then quit part way through 1977 to become a social worker back in Australia.

No chance- main match will be Peterborough v Wolves with 1 camera reports from Belle Vue

This is the kind of meeting, British Speedway needs at this moment in time. Congrats to Glasgow for pulling it off. Up Team Gb!

The sport in this country would be better off with no tv coverage at all, it’s descended into a made for tv sport with the live fan very much second in the thoughts. TV was responsible for the tactical ride and the play offs, gimmicks designed to turn it into something artificially closer, never mind who the better team or rider was. Also the only reason why these meetings now run into October is because of TV, everything should be done and dusted before October. TV was supposed to help the sport, not aid it’s demise.

Phil Morris has made a mess of too many GP tracks this year. Was he in charge in 2016 for the world team at BV in 2016 - Friday night was a mess, too heavy, Saturday night someone else must have been in charge as the racing was good.

The timing of the building work is perfect from Gaming int ...Means that Swindon wont know if the work will done in time meaning they have to say they can't run in 2022 . Another year then go's by and people lose even more interest before they find another reason next year .

This is fair. Lefty clearly see's social housing as low life car thieves
