Yes.

Find it a bit strange that Bandits would want 1st match of season broadcast live on BSN.It’s the nearest thing to a local derby and important KO Cup fixture and would draw a lot of neutrals IMO.Still suppose they get money from BSN to compensate.First night crowds are normally good at most tracks.I know they did it last season,but that was Birmingham and probably wouldn’t have attracted the same away support that Redcar normally bring.

I also see that the starts are going to be computer controlled.Seemingly it was tested in lower leagues in Poland last season.It would be strange for the riders to have different tape settings in different Countries.

You certainly won’t get a” flier” with these settings.Interesting.

Noticed in Poland this season the lowering of the height of the bottom tape from 53 cm to 30 cm on a FIM recommendation to produce fairer starts.Will this be the the case in GB and other Countries.?

Shows what lowering Team averages are doing for GB Speedway.

Agree

Nice track in Redbraes Park in Edinburgh,still in use I believe ,but not as much since the New National facility in Fife.

Doesn’t appear so.!

Excellent summery.

Great news for Workington fans have Steve on board.Super guy who knows the sport.

Just a smart ar#e

Seems strange it’s taken till now before Questioning Nora and Insurance Policies.

They will have decent Team if Hook is the last signing.

Must be due a NDL Testimonial soon.!

He had had 2 good seasons at Berwick was disappointed when he went Paisley.

Long time ago it’s was 1975 when Colin got the Max.Berwick won 45-33,in I976 your right Colin was a Lion,Berwick won 43-35.Was there both nights though.Can’t remember what I done yesterday never mind nearly 50 years Ago!!!!!!. Keep up the good work though, great recalling the memories.

Yeah also at the Berwick Match.Big away win for Bandits ,if I remember correctly Colin Farquerson had a Maximum for Bandits.

Agree they don’t look aTop 2 Team.

Great read,keep up the good work.Was at the meeting at Paisley with Newcastle when all the trouble with track width.

It irks me paying more to watch a watered down Championship.Some good riders left on the shelf for riders who are only there because of their average not their talent.

Grading would be a solution if it could be done without riders manipulating it easily.Riders already look after their averages with the present system.

Lowering the Average’s is doing no favours to British Speedway,regarding bringing on British youngsters.At least 3 or 4 are missing out this season because of it IMO.

Irrespective of how Drew and Anders progress British Speedway is going to suffer .Any British youngster that developing fast is going to lost in the main to Polish Speedway as has been proved with Bewley and Lambert,and let’s be honest British Clubs will struggle to meet their demands unless Swedish speedway (which is struggling) goes completely t#ts up,and the riders want to top up their earnings over here again. Ambition for any Young rider in the WORLD is to get into Polish Speedway.

Especially for the O.A.P.’s.
