  1. That’s great a real positive step, hopefully it will provide something far better than the old what the fans think page on the British speedway site. Just for old times & a laugh here is my favourite……. From the first race it became obvious that, despite this being a testimonial, the riders meant business. As they jostled for position around the tight bends, every sinew straining to keep control of the sliding back wheels, the crowd roared on their favourite, struggling to be heard over the deep growl of the engines. The blur of sound and colour, as they passed only yards away, was replaced by the one sensation that, for me, made the whole experience real. The exhaust fumes from the methanol fuel forced their way up my nostrils and left an overpowering but not unpleasant lingering smell reminiscent of cooking oil. It was at this point that I felt a connection with my fellow spectators, as if I had just experienced some rite of passage, which no amount of armchair viewing could bestow upon
  2. Doesn’t matter about Dan, I’ve just seen Hitler has invaded Poland so I think the season will be postponed!
  3. Louis better invest in some dummies for the Holder brothers & a bleep machine for Woffy
  4. Harris riding for Oxford in both league’s would make sense, at least he wouldn’t appear as a guest against them.
  5. With the restriction on Extraliga riders being lifted it’s a far bet Rew will now be back. I wonder who the other 4 will be ?
  6. It’s been postponed until the weekend. When they arrived they found the hotel had been doubled booked by a polish stag party. Apparently they were told that the polish have priority on Wednesday, Thursday’s & Friday’s. If that wasn’t bad enough they then found out that the hotel staff don’t want to work at weekends so they will have to bring in guests to cover but there is a shortage because some are already doubling up at a hotel around the corner.
  7. Perhaps Chris Harris could double up for both? Or has he already signed for Glasgow?
  8. I don’t get why MT is given a hard time. It’s perfectly possible that the figure the club was up for sale for last winter coupled with cost of developing any new site made it unviable. Or there was/is no guarantee of finding a new site. As a business man either of those scenarios would make it impossible to go ahead with a purchase as it makes the club almost worthless from a financial point of view. As an individual would you have brought a house last November that you knew was going to be demolished the following October that would then have zero value. I’m not knocking the efforts to keep your great club going I wish you all the best.
  9. Was indeed although he was an Ipswich rider at the time,
  10. I’d prefer if you could have any of you top 5 ride in any order, bring back some team tactics.
  11. Just realised I’d put my thoughts for the Ipswich team in the Belle Vue section…..I do apologise
  12. Let’s get silly as we have no idea of a points limit. But given it’s a dead cert top 2 of Emil & Doyle & Rew needs to start at reserve Something along the lines of Emil 5 point overseas King Ellis Doyle Rew Thompson

  14. Fully agree needs to be back as skipper. I was one of King’s critics last season however in the last 6 weeks he did make us critics eat our words to a certain extent. In fact I’m not against him returning I just think Doyle would make the better skipper.
  15. Emil is just pure class! I see he has just committed to Toruń for the next two years hopefully his signature is either on or about to be on an Ipswich 24 contract.
  16. So Brennan has been released by Belle Vue, could be a handy addition at Foxhall possibly in place of Riss depending on the points limit
  17. If people want Peterborough speedway to survive then the only place to be is at the protest not the speedway show. A high turn out with plenty of noise is vital, a poor turn out & that plays right into the developers hands. Good luck to all involved
  18. As we’re now in November I wonder how long we’ll need to wait to find out the regulations for team building & when the first signings will be announced?
  19. And Chris Harris could guest for any of the top 5 so a perfect team!
  20. I think people are looking for riders who should vastly improve next year to slot in alongside Jason, Emil @ Danny. on paper Ellis is that man. Not sure why he left Ipswich before but doesn’t really matter it’s history. Being in the same team as Jason & Emil in a track that he normally goes well at should help him bounce back. Ellis is a Ipswich type of rider imo
