I sure hope the fans do turn up. I guess with KL there is a choice between Elite League racing and National League and I guess people are generally going to go Elite League. It is time for all the fans that have moaned and groaned about foreign riders, bad management, and everything else at Arlington to get there and support a new venture. We have Martin, Connor and Glen running things now and it could be a new era at Arlo. I for one will be there supporting the young lads......and the older ones! Already people ar saying that the team is mid-table at best when the whole team hasn't even been announced! I don't get that, I really don't!!

Good signing. Pleased to have a local rider at the club

Why?

Blimey, didnt expect so many replies and I am certainly feeling better about the season. As for what I want from Speedway, its entertainment and success for my team. I have followed the eagles since the early 70s (the old National League) and loved the times we had the local riders riding for us but I was/am concerned the excitement wont be there in the National League. If you guys are right, then it looks like I am in for a good season. I will go whatever!

OK, whats National League Speedway like? Great News that my team, Eastbourne, are riding next year and I am well happy that they are looking to put a local young team together. My concern though is that the racing could be a bit tame with young and inexperience riders at the back with the better riders miles in front. However, Elite League speedway is sometimes far from edge of seat excitement, especially around the confines of Arlington. I have never seen national League Speedway so it would be good to hear some honest views on what we can expect at Arlo in 2015.

I wonder if they will bother letting us paying fans know what they discussed

Glad to see that but sorry you were messed around. My son is just starting out in speedway and I am so impressed by the amount of people that want to help out, Last thing you need is idiots conning people

Out of interest, did this problem get resolved guys? Hopefully it was just a misunderstanding, yes?

I have always listed Scott as my favorite non Eastbourne rider. Firstly he is a dude. Secondly, he is a great rider Thirdly, he is polite, friendly and always comes across well when approached by cameras and fans I really rate him.

Emil

Hi All Does anyone know if there is a live stream anywhere (or a recoding after the event) where the Longtrack GP can be watched? Cheers

Good luck to the Kings for this one, I cant make this but hope to got there next week.

Well what a great afternoon. Ok, the racng was not that great but the stadium is and the track looked fine. I have pretty much decided the Kent Kings will b my second team after Eastbourne. With the amount of fixtures at Arlo now, at least I can get up to see the Kings on a Monday. Congrats to everyone who got this going. Ditto about thelack of PA on one and two, It really needs something there.

All in all, not a great night! Racing was good at the end but just sobering that Nicki and Darcy are hurt and worse of all Emil losing his Dad. As a son, I do not belive there could be a better way to honor him that win a GP. I hope he does not do himself in becauehe was not there. I am sure there is only one place hisDad would have wanted him to be.

Blimey, people do like to jump on peoples backs dont they? I will be honest, I really dont like Darcy a great deal but he should be judged by what he does on the track. You will always get great sportman that are idiots off the track whether it be drink, drugs, fame or whatever. James Hunt, Alex Higgins, George Best. Do people really think that Speedway is going to have less fans next year because Darcy Ward rode a 50cc bike home from the park to his house when he saw the Police.....oh, and he had had a joint! Shock Horror!! If he had had a drink and a joint on the day of a match, then Ban him. If he gets in to a fight at the stadium while representing the Pirates, Ban him A little bit of naughty stuff back home in Aus should not affect his carreer in any way at all, as much as I would like it to!

Any news on the training track yet?

Anyone know if this is still on?

Absolutely no doubt Holder should have been excluded and the thugs that started on Nicki should have been marched out of the stadium. Its one thing whn riders have a go at each other in the heat of the moment but completely unacceptable when thuggish pit crew, family and friends start. Shame really because I feel Chris is aq worthy winner of the title but it was tainted by an awful ref desision and thugs on the track. As for those trying to say Nicki was the one who should have been excluded...thats a joke. Yes, he tried to clamp Chris. Thats the sensible thing to do when Chris had been clearly faster all night. If anything Chris came acroos a bit on Nicki out of the gate. Dont think for onre miniute that Chris took Nicki off on purpose but he def should have been out.

Brilliant from the Danes, Brilliant from Nicki. I am so glad the JOKE rule did not decide the world title. Maybe the powers that be will realise what a JOKE it is now. I think the fact that Nicki did it and so many people on here support what he did shows he was right to do it. More than any other rider people love to get on Nicki;s back and the fact that it is pretty even, if not more for him shows that most fans think the Joker rule is a joke!! Yes its good when it works for you but even when it does, dont you just have a feeling inside that you dont deserve the points you get from it. Denmark were better than Aus all night and if they had lost by a point or two it would have been crazy. Well done the Danes!!
