When a consortium took over Belle Vue in November 2006, it was faced with having no team. Jason Crump had been bought by Poole and Kenneth Bjerre, having been ring fenced for Belle Vue by the BSPA management committee was poached by Peterborough. Even as late as Christmas Eve, the new promoters were trying to get that overturned. That meant come January 2007, a team was still needed, with few riders available. Simon Stead became the number one with Joe Screen and James Wright being the only other riders retained from 2006. Ultimately the Aces came to the tapes with these three plus Kevin Doolan, Kai Laukkanen, Adam Skornicki and Ryan Fisher. The only promoter who helped Belle Vue was Colin Pratt who organised the signing of Fisher. Belle Vue 2007 most certainly didn’t have “as much chance as anyone to build a side”

If you are referring to what happened in 2016, your comment suggests you don’t know the history or the truth.

This all sounds very interesting. Tell all please. And is “a certain rider” Bowes. And if so, why not name him?

When did MPT get injured?

Signing Garritty would be like signing Craig Cook - he’ll do a decent job to begin with but soon enough will let you down.

Maybe Matt’s getting, erm, Picky?

I wonder if any of the Scunthorpe riders will announce they’re riding for Poole next season?

If Jack's in then Dan must be too. So who will be last?

If you go to www.drumsareus.ru you’ll be able to buy a new one as you must have just about beaten that one to death

Although I like Magic and he’s had a decent season, I doubt he’ll ever get back to his best (third in the world in 2022). Having said that, I still think he would out score Tungate and Nilsson

The cad. And dangerous too with these tyres. According to Lightcap, the track was really slick so maybe Will was just trying to wear away some of the nobblies so his tyre would slide across the shiny surface?

No. He was arrested in April 2020 and his sentence was imprisonment for 7 years and 6 months. Taken from when he was arrested, his sentence will conclude in October 2027. He has been released on license but has breached that at least twice and been returned to prison then re-released.

I think you’ll get your wish…….

If the cost was £1K per seat, then the 2000 seater temporary stand would have cost £2m! Actual cost is somewhere between £50 and £100 per seat

TravelPlus have already taken bookings even though little things like price and hotels haven’t been sorted yet

The top 7 are now decided and you can add Tungate Nillson Woryna and Lebedevs from the qualifier. Add Holder and Bewley leaves 2 places. The SEC winner is likely to be already qualified but there’s no entitlement for anyone rose from SEC to get a place so that leaves 2 picks. Not the Russians because of continuing contract terms so who else is worthy? Anders Thomsen maybe?

Thank you for beating me to it…..but he’ll still keep posting crap. Has done for years

Better than a couple of over the hill Russians

Erm, maybe the man who owns both the SGP rights and Ipswich?

I think it’s great news. Although I know I’m likely to be on my own on this, I prefer a track where riders come within centimetres of each other when trying to pass, rather than there being metres which can happen at BV. And hopefully Ipswich will provide a GP at prices comparable to European tracks and maybe even have similar facilities. The grandly named “National Speedway Stadium” was only called that as a sop to Manchester City Council when they were being asked to part with many millions of council tax payers money, but it has never lived up to its name. In my opinion.

At a guess, that’s not a guess?

Got that wrong. The soap dodgers have nae chance

For the Cami haters, this looks like a foregone conclusion…..Scunny move on to see if they can stop the Poole juggernaut. And maybe it is, depending on which Harris turns up. And Hagon. Is it Ziscke that’s guesting? That will help but Glasgow’s reserves will still take a hammering. For Scunny, you just know that the best part of half of the points they need will be provided by one rider so surely the other 6 can get 20 or so? Or maybe the other 5 if Lambert’s problems persist. And Mountain should get 10 of them. it’s Scunthorpe’s to lose - and I doubt they will
