Feel for all people involved with Coventry Speedway and those fans that will be lost to the sport forever.

Should have called it the Ford thread to get it going, or state the opinion that Wolves, Coventry, Poole, Swindon will not make the Play-Offs. Those teams cover the worst culprits

No, he'll have an average of 4.26

The times posted are pretty irrelevant as an individual number, but looking over the meetings Bailey was faster than pretty much any visiting rider in each meeting and as a No'1 double figured most meetings. 9.58 home average is not to be sniffed at and from what I can see 61.05 was his quickest time.

People are being a little to sensitive. People react more to the Poster than the post written and this can be said with regards to Shovlar's original post. Nothing wrong with what he'd posted. People need to learn how to breath, walk away, re-read before hitting the Reply - Post buttons

I still say my design I came up with some 10+ years ago is the way forward which I had sent directly to Airfence. Basically each air fence panel has a hole through the centre. Fixed to the front of each panel would be a 4 ply air pocket flexi plastic panel, about 5cm thick with a ficked eyelet on the reverse which allows it to be ratchet in place. Those light impacts that happen a race could continue & the high speed impacts the flexi plastic prevents the air fence being lifted and punctured by the bike before the riders make impact.

I'm not the one asking the questions. The riders are getting no answers that if they buy from the BSPA how much it is for spare parts & servicing. Basic stuff that should be readily available but seems to be top secret. If the rider's can't be given that information, buying a Gerhard becomes a substantial risk

Any new owners will be lease holders going by what everybody's posting so further stadium development can only be the responsibility of the owners, the city council.

Don't have any hence the word 'inkling'

Plenty of rider's are questioning this deal now. Apparently no prices are being given out to interested parties on parts & servicing. I just have an inkling the the price will vary on supply of engines, if you purchase direct at full value you'll be paying less on parts & servicing than you will buying the "cheaper" BSPA deal.

Seriously, if you haven't got anything positive to say say nothing at all. It's not a thread about "all thing are rosie" but more that there are good things about modern Speedway rather than all negative.

Good News Story: In 2017 there will be a minimum of 26 British riders declared starters in the top division from 9 clubs As little as 2013 there were were only 15 from 10 clubs Can only be a good thing imo Maybe you'd feel you'd got better value if you watched a whole meeting first?

The guy who runs the SGB twitter is a right wet lettuce. Been frantic on the block button since the request to vote and people ain't even swearing or abusive. His feelings have been seriously damaged I guess.

By reading previous posts I read it as Hemsley has the responsibility for alterations including the track.

The national flag is on the top left on front and rear of the race jacket plus GBR on the rear bottom right of the jacket

Recently he most certainly is going about things in the wrong manor on social media and making himself look a right spanner. It is so disappointing to read as a supporter of his His pop at Rosco was totally unnecessary and disrespectful, imo Rosco deserves an apology

1. Yes, 3 riders only as an offence can only be committed twice. 2. As above, 3 riders only as it's deemed a 2nd offence. 3. Yes & no - in the 2016 EL at least in the 1st 14 heats, if a rider is already occupying gate 4 from 15m only a reserve switch or 3 riders only is available if a different rider cause the offence. In Heat 15 if a rider commits a starting offence they can go from 15 meters in their original gate position (gates 1-4) or use a reserve replacement. All 4 riders in heat 15 can effectively start from 15 meters.

So, whoever takes over Belle Vue is in the cow pat then because if 1900 isn't viable with the reduction in top league standards there's no hope. Most clubs get nowhere near 1900 a meeting

Hang on a minute. So, you're saying Rosco can't go on holiday and have a bit of fun in the off season? The season finished 2 months ago, the AGM finished a month ago, team building since plus the added worries of a stadium etc.

Seeing as King's Lynn have reverted back to Wednesday nights that maybe difficult

Not sure if Woffy is being funny or serious here? Hopefully not the latter

This is pretty much what they already do by using APMedia as main source. http://www.apmedia.info/portfolio Clubs wanting a more professional approach have moved away and done their own thing.

Speedway Calendars - I've just realised I now like then, no idea why though http://www.miss-speedway.pl https://www.facebook.com/MissSpeedway/

The article says no such thing at all http://www.lynnnews.co.uk/sport/ex-world-champ-holder-could-have-joined-king-s-lynn-stars-almost-a-decade-ago-1-7741934
