I did not get a specific E-mail for refunds, the information was in the E-mail telling you it had been cancelled ,they also said you would get further information confirming new date and that you would have the option for a refund if you wanted one.!! I suggest your re -read the EMail regarding cancellation ,apart from length of time I have had no problem getting a refund.!!

Don’t think people on here are exaggerating regarding his behaviour and missing meetings.He done some pretty strange things IMO.Cant remember the rider but I was at a meeting where he “injured his back “ unloading his bike in similar circumstances.

I can remember that incident at Poole ,think McMillan checked the outlet of the carb and said it was oversize .Dont think he was allowed to use it.Can’t remember the final outcome though.

He probably stole it.Did he not steal some of Joe Screens gear at one time.(could be wrong but thought I read it somewhere).

The email telling you it was cancelled had the details. To receive a refund E-mail: Speedway @img.com and include your order number (order no for tickets).Takes between 30-45 days. I applied on 23 sept and received it this week.

Total liability on track most of the time .IMO .Think we can guess why.

He was a total waster in his early teens and had history, got a good chance to sort himself out.Unfortunately never took it.

Think the Star have done a great job in difficult circumstances,good coverage and articles of Polish speedway.While the quality of the paper is not up to much it’s understandable in these hard times.Well Done.

They should throw away the key,hopefully that’s the last we see him on track.

Have just received refund for SON tickets.

Agree 100%.

Buy a bike ,and a Tin of Castrol R run it in the living room while watching speedway,satisfaction .

Not sure of all the reason,but obviously you could recycle the if you fitted a oil pump, more to do with cost and for the amount of oil used( very little)By draining oil you can see whether there is much metal deposits in it.Think the strain on bearings and cylinder are huge.Like you say you could have Speedway engine in a road bike with a oil pump fitted.

They a not designed to “burn” oil though.

We will never know who was asked and declined,but Iainb has a point, who have Britain produced in the last 10-15 years barring Woffy And Lambert( although they done it their way).Although Covid has caused a big headache but the youngsters have been able to keep their eye in. Young Brits like Flint and Bickley can’t seem to get into teams abroad yet when they were younger they were in all the junior events on the Continent so you would think they would have contacts.You have to Question ambition when it comes to getting to the top in any sport nowadays.This present Crop might go on to represent GB at International level in future ,but whether any go much further In World Terms is open to debate.Watching Continental Speedway shows how big a challenge the will be, while “ boot camps” are all the rage ,it will take a lot financial backing (which is not there at present) for these guys to progress. Whether we like it or not the Poles have plenty sponsorship available for their youngsters (Pressure to perform will come into it though as they are queuing up to ride over there).Brits will probably have to make their living over here though and sponsorship is a hard sell these days. We are sitting about waiting for the Polish bubble to burst,and even if it does it won’t make any difference to the sport in GB .IMO

Remember him riding with his ankle in plaster at White city Glasgow in a World Championship Qualifier in the Sixties.

Bet 365 have Lambert at 16/1 for World Champion next year .Dont think there will be any takers on that on.

To be honest they are not really good enough for Top Tier in Poland and as Cook and others have found out even In lower divisions a bad meeting and you are out.GB really only have Woffy and Lambert at that level.Belwey has had this season in Poland and has struggled.

Hope you have not been breaking the 10pm drinking curfew

It was originally 8/9th May in Manchester ,I had tickets.

Let’s face it Bewley is by far our bestU/21 ,look a his performances in Poland this year, the young Brits have along way to go.Kemp is certainly our best prospect IMO.

Our juniors may be promising but let’s be honest they are miles behind in World junior terms.Whether they will get opportunities in right Competitions and leagues remains to be seen.Ive seen at least a dozen young Poles who are already in a different league.The excuse that they would not do well in GB though ,doesn’t mean much in the World Speedway these days.

It was planned for the summer months originally(May) but when it got called off they wanted to hold on to our money rather than refund.Thats the only reason IMO.

Thanks, that’s clears that up.I couldn’t remember it for sure.
