Doyle giving up Sweden to ride in the UK. Whether fans up and down the country like him or not, I'm sure everybody respects the loyalty Doyley has shown to our league throughout the years.

What a great service Chris did for the benefit of British Speedway Not only did all get to see Emil grace the league and be the biggest attraction for many a year but persevering to get that deal across the line also paved the way for the others Had the Emil deal floundered the others ate unlikely to have happened

What a weird little thing to have a whinge about! Did you even read it? He says “We are looking to announce the team immediately. It is an exciting team and one we will enjoy working with and we were settled on it quite quickly by the end of the season and I am sure the fans will be delighted with it”. So now the information will be passed on to the webmaster (who probably has a full time job) to write up seven rider articles in readiness for the reveal on the official website in the coming days! What’s the issue here?

Hope not - never a number one.

Would chop my right arm off for weekly speedway, as would many I would think, given how every year we moan about a lack of fixtures. An attractive season ticket and they are onto a great thing here. Hats off to them, full of admiration. What if it works well and every club does it over the next few years.

"We have had our first meeting and it was brilliant. It was great to hear from every tracks' delegates that the sport is superbly led, and that each meeting they attend is truly an amazing event that simply couldn't be improved, and provides incredible value for money"... "It was noted though that all the delegates clearly felt that more guests were needed to add more credibility to the league, so that is something we can definitely look at improving"..

Don’t know what all the fuss about a 3pm start time. Yeah working full time and life gets in the way some weeks but if you’re really a supporter you’ll be there when you can. As for it clashing with the Reds and amateur rugby, I know what I’d prefer to go and watch. Instead of all the negativity flying around in the world atm can we just have some positive thinking for a change. Get behind the promotion, behind our 7 riders whoever’s they may be, and support the comets.

It doesn’t matter how you try to spin it Jason has been one of the most loyal GP riders to UK speedway. There is no team in the league who would not want him in their team. Both Jason and Emil have bought plenty of entertainment to the fans at Ipswich . More so than than any other riders in recent years ( although Jason if you are reading this you have yet to do full lap of the stockcar track on 1 wheel)!

He'll be fine if he wears a Sheffield racejacket under his Berwick one

Just going by the stats Buttons. Over all meetings last season, Doyle 10.53 at Foxhall, Emil 9.76

They will want at least 2 'big' headlines for the papers i would have thought! Great to see Doyle back at Foxhall he is surely one of the most exciting about - if he misses the gate watching him reel them in is highlight of the meeting for me.

Always gives 100% which is all you can ask.

Really pleased to have super si back

Not for Trackrat it seems!

If Etheridge is signed again you might as well just write off another season the bloke is useless home and away. I have faith Dickson is switched on enough to not make that mistake.

Any Panthers fans who go to Kings Lynn should be ashamed of themselves. They are the sort of people who would sell their mothers for £1. Buster is a vulture.

Can't see Dan lowering himself to those kind of levels tbh. Leaving BV for KL is the equivalent of leaving Kate Moss for Vanessa Feltz.

Agreed entirely. No protected heats just let the riders compete, some will succeed sime will fail thats how the sport (should) work. The reduced limit is almost doing what its supposed to which is bringing new riders in and pushing those at the top creaming the easy money out.

I saw this online. It could be a solution for some clubs to add extra seating ?

Certainly a strange concession.IMO.Is it any different from last season,think fans thought that the concession for older fans was going to be re introduced.?

Around 7.9 at home hardly useless

I laughed when I read that! A few years ago I was talking to the security guy at Anglia TV in Norwich. Feltz arrived in a taxi and apparently told the security guy to get her bags out of the taxi and take them inside for her. He politely told her he was a security man, not a bl**dy bell boy, so go and get your own bags! I'd guess she was not amused, but your comment just backs up what I thought about her as well.

Still a few of them.out there mate...Not sure how many lies one person has to tell before it sinks in.

CHAMPIONSHIP 2024: Berwick, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Oxford, Plymouth, Poole, Redcar, Scunthorpe, Workington.

The Voice representative

His 2022 average was 7.20. So i would expect him to come in on that.

A couple of weekends in Poland hopefully this year, not got much appetite for the racing in the country right now. The penny has really dropped now the team building discussion has started and I don’t have a team to follow anymore, it’s sad.

Hundreds of non league football clubs in England and Wales already successfully use this type of stand. Always thought it would be great to have put a few on the starting straight at Buxton. Need a good foundation but many positives. Various sizes and sponsor opportunities, being a couple.

The most suitable candidate will get the positions at Leicester.

Phil Morris, will not be prepared to allow clubs "yes people" to continue for very long as a Voice representative if all they do is say "everything is great at my club" nor will he tolerate folk who see this as a forum to moan, complain about everything being rotten to the core as far as Premiership speedway is concerned. He will be looking to work with representatives who take a balanced view to the current situation and can provide feedback on current topics and potential additional concepts for the near and far future. This is a great idea and should be applauded not shot at.

Totally agree! May be Rogers 'is' still picking the team!?

Any chance he can make it 2046 instead.

It’s in the Speedway star, Lambert is the first signing

Good

Your faith may be dented. ps He can be decent at home,when the opposition are poor and the track is slick and he gates.

Emil, King, Doyle, Ellis, Rew, Jenkins, Thompson

...I'm sure that Bob Dugard was never guilty of that!

I don't disagree but the trouble is I'm not sure his average has an awful lot of value in it. His effort and commitment last season was without question but is he realistically going to keep that level of scoring up? We'll have to see who else is named instead, if for example it's Wojdylo & MPT you are looking at a Polish rider who showed a lot of potential last year and a Scunny team mate who average a point more than Simon despite a nasty injury.

All this chatter about free buses, oh the traffic is bad, where do you park . I wonder if some actually want speedway in Birmingham or just to moan about it.

Birmingham did something similar to that a couple of years ago with Coventry and Cradley fans and by all accounts it did not go down well with their own fans, who questioned why they had to pay more while other clubs fans had a discount. Understandable that they want more fans in, but you don't want to get the regular ones backs up in the process.

He owns Henlow. The rest he just has a lease from the stadium owners. And he's not a bookmaker, but a punter and big greyhound owner (the largest in the country I believe).

Name a few then

The NDL lads will certainly pack a punch to any meeting. Their talent maybe raw at times, and their times maybe a second slower, but they don't hold back. These guys are the future of British Speedway and without a directive of developing them, then unfortunately there wont be any speedway. From what I have witnessed this year, the only difference at times was the name on the back of the race suit! As the racing /entertainment was no different to any Premiership or Championship meeting. Its great to see the likes of Woffy, Holder, Harris, and Sayfutdinov, but Boughen, Harrison, Mcgurk, and Hagon are more than capable of providing the same entertainment. Therefore the same value for money.

Why should having 2 NDL riders mean less entertainment? Losing Ryan Douglas is certainly a big loss as he is a guarantee of big points but whoever the new 1-7 are can still provide entertaining racing - and that applies to any club.

It doesn’t count overall though,you just have to make semi to keep yourself in with a chance of getting to Final which is what matter regarding title.Maybe making every point count and just giving a few bonus points for Final would keep more riders in the running though.

The change of point scoring system in the GPs has taken away the importance of squeezing every point out of a meeting and placed the emphasis on reaching and winning finals. Therefore it’s no coincidence that Zmarzlik does what he needs to in the heats and then comes on strong for the clutch heats. IMO the scoring system should be changed back. It puts more jeopardy on every race of the series for each rider. In theory that would produce more competitive racing.

When in a hole - he keeps digging. No accounting for stupid - he should have taken his punishment and moved on.

You seem nice, probably about as popular as an STD ! Taking a cheap shot at a track that is closing down, another track sadly going, stay classy !

Well the one positive about tomorrow, is knowing an idiot like you won't be there.
