The finger(s) seem to be pointing in your direction ?

They could just go along to a track and enjoy the speedway and ignore all the "faff" around the sport. It's still 15 heats (weather etc permitting) 4 blokes (typically) doing 4 laps (typically) and the team with the most points at the end wins.

Pray do tell....

.. and cost an absolute fortune !!

Phillips not signed for anyone (yet?) Wethers not signed for anyone. Jack Smith eligible too.... !!!

All I know is various riders have been approached and, as far as I know, all are ex-Diamonds riders.

But that is the point.... he didn't miss a year, he rode in the NDL. As I've stated before this "non-professional" League is a load of nonsense - if he got paid he was a professional in a professional league.

If you get paid, is that not classed as professional? If it's amateur, you don't get paid?

England begin their World Cup campaign against Croatia in Dallas on 17 June with that game kicking off at 22:00 BST. Their next Group L fixture is against Ghana in Boston on 23 June and is at 21:00 BST, with their final group fixture against Panama at 22:00 BST on 27 June in New Jersey.

Hover your cursor over the picture of the poster - a box will appear and "ignore" is at the bottom left of the box - click it and you're done!

Redcar vs Diamonds Select - Tyne/Tees Trophy - Fri 20 March 2026 - 7.30pm

4.13 less his British reduction

Billingham about 10 miles from Redcar

That's a good question. What IS he actually doing/done so far?

Hasn't stopped Jack Smith getting a "gig" year on year, has it?

Having said that though, they'll have Josh Pickering and he is worth watching, wherever he rides.

I thought the final decision rested with the Speedway Control Bureau ??

Probably not, until the fixtures are announced.

I am led to believe you can forget Steve Worrall.

I remember a few years ago, being told that Len Silver, the then promoter at Rye House, paid all seven riders the same amount per point, whether they were a number one or a number seven or anything in between. This came directly from a rider and his dad. Whether there were add-ons to that, I don't know. There quite possibly was (sponsorship etc).

Cobblers...... 🤣

Agreed, sort of. But the costs to that rider (for example engine tuning/repair) may also be an influence, so you could just as easily blame them, rather than putting it all directly at the riders door??
