Using the above formula, I reckon that the Sheffield track record is faster as 54.97 mph (sorry if I have got the maths wrong).

Belle Vue having an eight man team?

Well, what has been announced today 7th March 2017, is exactly what was speculated about 28th February 2017, on this thread. Sky pull out and BT do 18 matches. I think it says something about the parties involved that we have to wait a week for the news. I notice that Sky, on their website still have a link to speedway on Sky. Who are they trying to fool? The BSPA on their website have said we are in for a treat. How many speedway fans think at least 7 less matches (Sky originally stated they will do at least 25) is a treat? And how many speedway fans, who subscribe to Sky Sports, but not BT think that either losing their speedway on TV or incurring a greater cost is a treat.

So, do what I do. Record it on Sky+. Start watching it after the match has started. Use fast forward when there is a bit you do not want to watch.

Have sky got out of the contract, by pointing out that there is no longer a league called the British Elite League? Did the promoters drop a clanger in re-naming the top tier league?

Free? or just included in the price?

Should be good match

Website confirms Josh G for Tigers (think normally Somerset would have priority).

So, just curios. If Josh G is riding for us, will Somerset use an equivalent guest, or will they bring in a NL rider to even up the teams. Would the fans like to see the Tigers matched against a proper higher league team, or would they prefer it a more even contest with Somerset using NL guest?

Is that why we are waiting for the announcement? Need an official statement re Belle Vue first?

So, if the full fixtures are out (as per BSPA) the Belle Vue Coventry alliance are racing away matches only.

According to Leicester Speedway website, the season ticket price includes a challenge match. None showing as yet on their fixtures.

Don't think Sissis will be riding speedway this year

Have I missed it, or is there no British semis, or final on the fixtures?

I would guess there will be a challenge match March 30th, otherwise why give it as a reserved date. Possibly waiting for opponents to confirm?

And what will the format be? With 3 less teams can not do same as last year

Both Leicester and Belle Vue are now confirmed for 2017 season, so no reason not to get on with it.

Should also be better for away fans, needing an earlier return home.

It is on the twitter feed.

Stated on Sheffield facebook page that they are now being compiled.

January 21st was the date fixtures published for 2016. Hope the fact that 2 top tier teams not signed any riders yet does not hold things up for everyone else.

January 21st was date fixtures came out for 2016. Hope they do not get held up by the fact that 2 teams in the league above do not appear to have signed any riders yet.

Last Easter ran on Sunday, sure some previous years have run good Friday. Did not know about the start time change. Prefer 5.30 for Sundays, would like the earlier 3.00 for bank holiday meets.

Just wondered if someone from Scunny, could confirm, if in 2017, they intend to hold a match on Easter Monday.

Don't you just love this "I know something you don't attitude"
