Midland Red

In all honesty, how on earth can you market the sport when you have this situation? Tonight, there are two meetings involving Premiership clubs In one, Poole go to Belle Vue with six riders (one missing) ; in the other Leicester ride at Somerset also with six riders (two of their own missing, with a guest appearing in place of one of them) Why are these three riders missing? Well, they are riding for other teams in this country - what a nonsense There really has to be an answer to this - either do away with doubling up and down, or find some alternative We've always been plagued with guests and r/r for injured riders - but accepted those as part and parcel of the sport - but to create the need for such replacement facilities to also be necessary through dual team membership of riders is pure suicide, if one is trying to get the sport taken more seriously Where has all this doubling up and down come from? Poor national organisation, plus some amount of greed from riders, possibly Somehow, we need to reorganise so that there is enough racing in the UK for riders to be just allocated to one team and have sufficient meetings for them

Spot on - but then it's Mr Shoveller you're talking about I do admire the "gentleman" coming up with the username "Shovlar" (text spell of Shoveller) - who else could have dreamt up that?

No - it's not Poo Poole, Mr Shoveller

WHAT????? Speedway Star undertaking an investigation? Will the outcome ever be published?

In the really good old days, you could stay and watch the "third-halfers" too at Brandon! In the really good old days, they'd race in the second half, then come up into the bar, to mix with family and fans!

Not waterlogged, Mr. S. Shoveller - UNFIT FOR PURPOSE

Pre season friendlies? They're football matches, aren't they? Perhaps you mean Challenge Matches, which is what we have in speedway

Kenneth Bjerre for me - just what Belle Vue need!

Not on Facebook - what does it say?

The Fighting Bee

And for those of us whose first language is English . . . ?

For the houses currently under construction, is there a Marketing Suite/Show Home? If there is, surely they will have an up-to-date site plan? Any locals fancy having a look over the weekend to find out? Must be worth a shot!

I blame the "test drivers" !!!!

Totally spot on

Perhaps you'll get the dreadful Peter York! Tee-hee!

Then why are you in "Years gone by" - trying to be a troll?

Another intelligent contribution from Mr Shoveller

Sounds fishy to me

I can't believe you could be SO negative about efforts to revive a dormant speedway venue

You mean there won't be any Sir Shoutalot this year???

Let's not bother with trying to get speedway back to Oxford - the miserable old git doesn't think it's worth it Bulldoze it and make him 'appy
