Wolves Speedway potential new stadium???
salty replied to Pauldoveyspeedway's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Hadn't seen that news. Probably makes it less likely that Entain would be prepared to lose Monmore as well. -

I suppose it boils down to whether Entain can continue to provide enough dog racing to fulfil the needs of their customers. As far as I know they also run Crayford, Romford and Hove. Having worked for Ladbrokes many years ago my understanding was that they kept the tracks in their ownership (in those days just Crayford and Monmore - Romford and Hove were Coral) to give them more control over the dog racing product in the betting shops. -
Finally got round to watching this. Fascinating. Thanks for posting.

Haven't seen this news anywhere else on here so thought I'd post this link. Simon suffered a "serious stroke" last week and is currently starting the recovery process. The facebook page has been set up by his family to keep everyone aware of his progress. (13) Facebook

A life well lived who gave an awful lot to Speedway over the (many) years. RIP.

2025 GP line up/wildcards
salty replied to eric i's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Whilst Rune was indeed riding under a Polish licence and rode for them in the WTC, he was also conscious that he would have been unlikely to be nominated for a Wild Card as a Pole and was aware that he needed to be a top 8 rider to qualify for the next year's series. Can recall him saying that on one or more occasions in interviews. -
A good read as always. Particularly enjoyed reading about the Tigers move to Hampden and how close they were to moving to Cathkin Park.

Yes, I saw him ride when the Lions visited Dudley Wood in 1969. He only got 1 point from 3 rides. but an average of 4.88 in his debut season suggests he would have been a bigger success if he'd returned to these shores. Best remembered I suppose as a member of that 1969 Leicester line up that were all ever presents in the British League.
