Can anyone inform me of the price to park a car in the Owlerton Stadium car park on Saturday please ?? Thanks in advance.

..... And a horse will win the Grand National at Aintree..... !!! (I remember "Old Moore's Almanac !!!).

Berwick have done it in the past.

There have been 21 weekends between 1st April and 31st August. There was 11 home meetings to fit in (8 League 2 BSN & 1 KO Cup), giving 10 blank weekends. If clubs can't work around the "Mickey Mouse" (they aren't Mickey Mouse to the riders, I bet), especially those in September - then blame the clubs, don't blame the FIM. The FIM fixtures are there for all to see, so there should be no clashes. Workington, as an example, can race on any day of the week (except Monday & Thursday due to Premiership), so fixture clashes with the FIM meetings don't have to happen. Having said that, promoters in general don't seem to want to learn, as it's the same season after season trying to fit fixtures in at the back-end of the season. Until that changes, these types of clashes will continue to happen.

When it was announced, I did suggest one of those names you mention to my mate standing next to me. He suggested another of the above names ! One would expect the "new" promoter would be someone with experience (i.e a former or current one). Don't know if Ben (Duffill) would step back in with his BSN commitments and his own business to run, and would Kevin Keay (who sometimes posts on the Forum) step back in? Who knows (apart from Ben and Kevin, of course !!). How would it work? Just the same as it does currently, I would think, just a different name as Co-promoter instead of Jamie. I would just like to add my very best wishes to Jamie for whatever he is going to do in the future. Who knows, a "fresh face" at Redcar might just be what the club needs (and that is not being detrimental to Jamie).

That would depend on whether the "one over the eight rule" is still a go-er for 2027, as, currently Wright is on 8.90 and Klindt is 8.81. IF the one over the eight rule stays, you can't have both.

Everyone apart from Kildemand can take a R/R ride for Palovaara. This changes on 1st Sept when VP drops to 4th in the averages when Kildemand and Morris can't (Etheridge moves to the one above VP).

Kind of.... but in football, they have a squad of 25, so if someone quits, or gets injured, one of the 13 others steps up/in. Not quite the same as losing your 2nd best rider and not being able to replace him, is it really?

Same as Simon Lambert.... both in the same team.... King's Lynn "Young" Stars.....

In a world where teams ride 22 meetings (11 home & 11 away) in a season which starts in April.

It's the National Stadium. So, that's like the equivalent of Wembley for football. All major UK speedway events should be held there IMO. Otherwise it's not a National Stadium.

What are the guest/facility rules regarding Erik Riss' absence ?

As mentioned above, it's replacing "The Motorbike Show" which is a series presented by Henry Cole & Pete "The Restorer" Thorne. So no one "losing out" really.

He's also a number 1 in the "top flight" !!
