Nice to see an interview or rather Q&A with Peter Thorogood in last weeks edition - he will be 93 this year!! Another speedway legend for all he has done for the sport over the years particularly at Arena

TY Terry for the great seasons at Arena - RIP

have said for a while that points money (if it still exists for some) should be for finishing the race not starting it!

Decent side with continuity in the key spots - reserves could be a weakness but overall i reckon they will be fine top 5 spot awaits 😉

Not sure Cloughies methods would work nowadays!

As an Arena fan always have a huge amount of time for 'awesome Richard Lawson' solid and reliable wherever he rides!

In a copy of the star a few weeks ago there was also an interview with Jake Allen and he alluded to riders not being paid and it seemd he wasn't talking about the UK either he as going tofiscus on riding UK and championship only - not quite the vertabim quote but it was something like 'whats the point of riding being promised the earth and not being paid' - he talked of rider sbeing owed fair substantial sums Seems that TV money generally just goes straight to the riders and the big elite survive and the others struggle - its the same for so many sports!

Invoking the SAS implies an elite service - not sure that holds for speedway futures maybe Trotters Independent Traders!!

Despite the chuntering on here once Louis had decided to sell up he was up against it time wise to get this sorted - it’s to his and the buyers credit they have managed to get this in place inside 8 weeks (even less) - if hadn’t - all hell would be breaking loose here! Let’s hope all is in order and the sale goes through smoothly.

It was a bit like James Hunt and Murray Walker at times wasn't it!😅

We will find out in due course!

1/5th at the title too! down from 1/7th from 2025!

Gosh old KB - we had him at Arena in i think 1990 him and Kevin Teager when injuries hit, to be fair to Brice he was quite effective at reserve seem to recall him banging in a few good scores

I was at one of those matches, I always feel Tom rides Sheffield fairly well, but feel he is better suited to Ipswich anyway.
