  1. If they need to make up the numbers for TV, How about allowing ghost teams to track share? Norwich could rise from the ashes and hold home meetings at KingsLynn and Ipswich. Peterborough could track share with Mildenhall and Kings Lynn, Eastbourne could ride at Iwade and Southampton ride at the Isle of Wight. Swindon could ride electric bikes at home an conventional machines at away meetings. Few more teams to solve the problem and create even more fixture chaos but what’s new, it cannot be any worse than the current model.

  2. Isn't there a rule somewhere that you are not allowed to track share?

  3. Why would Poole or indeed any club agree to race in a 'higher' league on an off race night which would almost certainly lead to a big financial loss - despite tv revenue (which doesnt amount to that much in the overall scheme of things!) - and already be on the back foot as regards team building, despite Poole's previous successes at that level? Especially having lost money in their last 'successful' Elite League year!! To move up and race on a Wednesday - maybe, if they have full access to their many assets even those that may have 'agreed' 2024 with other clubs!! (Sits back and awaits............?)

  4. Which wasn't down to being lucky. He rode a great first two bends and then nice and steady to take the win.

  5. Imagine how many meetings Bomber could ride in? He diary would be so full he could end up guesting for himself....

  8. I’m told from a reliable source he’s offered a considerable sum if a suitable site is found. Not sure we should be mocking him for that to be honest.

  12. Yes I have got a few photos of Bruce with Geoff Capes, George Best etc. in one of my Speedway albums on Facebook. I think I won them in a Speedway Star competition but no idea now what it was.

  13. I remember we got stuck there one night, coming back from Belle Vue. There was a loud knocking sound coming from the floor of the coach, and nobody could find out what it was. The driver didn't want to take any chances, so we spent several hours, waiting for a replacement coach. We discovered what it was the next day... Someone has nicked a metal road sign for a lark. Not thinking, they stuck it face down under one of the seats. It was dark, and the back was the same colour as the floor. When we hit bumps in the road, the bloody thing would knock against the frame of the seat ..

  14. No. The cost of testing is not the cost of the kits but the infrastructure required to run an accredited testing agency to include but not limited to, staff, travel, buildings, testing materials and equipment not forgetting the need to make profit to be reinvested in developing improvements of testing technology to make it easier to catch the drug cheats.

  17. Maybe it was Boxall, so Worrall got him back.

  19. Really? Boxall has previous and it was immediately after Cardiff weekend. It would seem strange, to me at least, if they were the only two who were on it.

  20. I used to love it when we rode on a Friday. Great night out, and still had the weekend to come. And not having to et up for work.

  21. Neither Trelawny or Somerset had stadiums but every visit was memorable and the racing was first class.

  22. The British leagues should be having British youngsters at 6+7 also British U24 in the team, instead of all the foreign riders imo

  23. I find it really strange that the identical "substances" were found in 2 individuals samples. I also think the bans should be reworded to be "seasons" rather than years so that there is no benefit gained by being banned outside of the racing window.

  24. But Lisa they won the league end of no ifs and buts, you can’t harp back to what’s gone on before history is history this season there promotion and manager out foxed yours and the rest of us by winning the league.like I say what went on before this year is history Glasgow are the reigning champs and well done Glasgow and now the fords are up against a formidable force in the owners of Glasgow and there cheque book is probably a lot bigger than the fords and they will want to do it again next year just be big enough to admit you blew it like we all did and Glasgow are now the team at the top and Poole and the rest of us are the chasers not the champs.

  25. So Glasgow are doing further track upgrades, building a training track, creating an Academy ( bikes already purchased and arrived from Poland) , adding more seating to the new stand on bend three, invested in TV, Radio and Newspaper advertising and several other projects going on behind the scenes , so how exactly is that 'cutting the cloth relative to income of the club' ?? Glasgow promotion are focused on investing into the SPORT and not just the club.

  26. I know this is academic as Tom's not coming back, but if we have signed/are signing Worrall for next season, he could've fitted in with this team. It looks like a long tail, but maybe that's how the league will look. I'd still be very concerned about reserve, but it would've been a decent team at home, which let's be honest, is where the money comes from.

  27. It has been thoroughly investigated by one of the consortium.
