Midland Red

Let's hope then that they opt for one big league racing on the nights the clubs/promoters/fans want - makes more sense Taking their own interest rather than turkeys voting for Christmas - makes more sense

That'll keep the armchair supporters happy, save them having to pay their entrance money at the turnstiles Another coffin nail hammered in

Would be interested to hear from Neil Watson on this!

Or what they did yesterday!

How many points would that be? What's the limit for 2018?

So? That doesn't make it right for UK it wouldn't be necessary if we went for one British League plus a National Development League

Like it! Gets my vote! Can we go ahead with it?

In no way am I standing up for Mr Horton But I would suggest that his comment relates to a speedway-only stadium not being viable - which is probably true I'm intrigued as to his motives - it couldn't possibly be financial (to run a NL team 20+ miles from "home") so . . . what is it?

Any chance of the answers please?

Happy memories of 'Buzz' at Brandon RIP Antonin

Great news! Want to watch speedway? Then go and pay at the turnstiles to see it

Peter Oakes' article is mainly about trying to create another British World Champion and improving British riders It says little or nothing about the steps needed to rescue British speedway

There are those on here who vehemently argue that OOFC aka SGP is a fairer method of deciding the World Champion than the one-off World Final Yet those same persons also argue against deciding a championship/individual event over 20 heats, all riders meet each other, favouring a one race decider Seems a degree of contradictory thought there

Mods! Where are you? This is NOT proper discussion, please intervene (with your delete button where applicable)

Hall Green, Birmingham??????

I didn't qualify my statement other than to say "best two riders on that list"

Best two riders on that list - Jason Doyle and KK

Call them whatever you want - it ain't a fair and equitable way of deciding an individual meeting Replace the names Richie Worrall and Nick Morris with, say, Nigel Boocock and Ray Wilson Then say it's fair!

Irrelevant my Coventry friend!F1 qualifying is a time trial, not a direct competition between cars - as you well know

Any of Peter Collins' 100 mates on the list?

As long as you're not suggesting that Tai Woffinden is one of the all-time greats . . . yes, he is one of the best Brits, but nothing more

The fact it's been around for x number of years doesn't make it right, or fair The fact that the rules are known prior to the meeting doesn't make it fair How can anyone justify that a rider reeling off five straight wins, thus beating ALL other riders, is not the winner Defies any sort of logic

Would that be anything to do with the creation of Ole Olsen's Flying Circus, by any chance? The catalyst for the downturn in interest in the bread-and-butter speedway which had been enjoyed for so long, now it's all about self, money, greed, etc etc. And the downturn in fan-rider relationships with all the journeymen in the teams now - nobody seems to belong anymore

Anyone know what happened to this club, and in particular their ex-Midland Red Motorway Express coach?

That surely deserves a thread of its own - longest association with one club
