Yes, regardless of your own club allegiance it would be great to see a famous Speedway name return. The sport needs more Clubs and I am sure this would be a tremendous boost. Regardless of the state of Brandon when it re-opens I am sure most fans will be just happy to see the return the track-action. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome.

I just hope we have enough advanced warning one way or the other.

I have just been looking at Google Earth at the old Smallmead site and you can still see the outlines of both the main track and training track - but unsure if this an updated image or not. If the site is still in place and the current financial climate regarding development post COVID has anyone explored the idea of trying to re-open at the current site. With this in mind I am only suggesting what would basically be relaying the track with a couple of portacabins for changing facilities and portable toilets. Fans facilities would be basic - but it would be a chance to get the sport back - even if even on a short-term lease and would also allow would be prospective promotors the chance to gauge the desire for a full-time return. Just and idea and no doubt someone has already thought of it but I would just throw the idea out there.

Mine hasn’t. Sadly Friday is more the norm. Saturday sometimes and on a couple of times it has been Monday. i can’t blame it on Covid either as it was like this before. It may just be coincidence but it seems to have got more erratic since it moved away from the brown envelopes.

The sad thing is with there history people still buy into and believe those grandiose plans.

Clarke and GI also have a controlling state in Torquay United FC who if anyone knows Is in prime residential area. Already an out of town new stadium has been muted - sound familiar?

Can you tell me if a reserve is given a ride and is then excluded does the other reserve come in all would it be three riders only?

Many thanks.

Is it possible to watch the Polish speedway on one of the satellite channels like last year. I.e, Eurosport/Premier sports etc.

Does anyone know when a definite decision will be made on Cardiff GP taking place? I see it is now set to be the opening GP of the series. I also note it hasn’t been advertised in the Speedway Star of late.

What is happening to people who have purchased tickets for Grand Prix's that are cancelled? Do they get refunded? Thanks.

Manchester at the end of October in a City that is synonymous with rain?

I have just read this online - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/52024970.

He has just been on FiveLive again.

FiveLive are running this story in its news bulletins today. At this rate the ‘big man’ will be trending on Twitter, lol!

No doubt it is a fantastic coup for the Witches and a boost for the sport in general. I remember the excitement when it was announced the Falcons had re-signed Ivan Mauger (for home meetings only) in our ill-fated return to the British League in 1984. Although he still managed an average a fraction over 8pts - which is today's standard would be good - he was a shadow of the rider he once was and was at time beat by some pretty average riders who would not have got near him when he was in his pomp. It may have been only a fraction of a second out of the gate but in modern racing it made all the difference especially for someone who prided themselves on their gating ability. It was similar for Verner when he returned - although not renowned for his gating - his fence scraping escapades that made him such a favourite was largely gone. No doubt some of the hunger must go also as well as the realisation of the risks must be greater. Still all were great riders, Mauger the greatest, Verner one of the best all action riders around the County Ground and as for Jason Crump I would urge anyone if you get the chance to see him in action to make a special effort to go and see one of the greats of modern Speedway.

One of the or problems is the league in its present structure isn’t big enough to have a play-off structure in place. If you wanted to keep it why not seed the winner of the league direct to the final (so at least there is some reward for finishing top) and then have second and third in a play-off to see who faces them.

Or the comedy channel.
