THE DEAN MACHINE

Again nothing is going to happen there is the near future

Anyway we have 9 days to wait to find out what shambles is being presented to us to part with our money, I’d like to say I can’t wait but that isn’t the truth

Newcastle doesn’t have a track anymore,Skegness has failed once because of low crowds and isn’t it tarmac now ? Eastbourne is I believe a family feud on top of money owed from last promotion and sittingbourne as in Kent doesn’t have a track anymore,sittingbourne as in iwade does but premier league status, there are a few stock car tracks scattered around but are tarmac, one of the tracks I mentioned is Rye house, we all know the situation there but I have heard snippets from a couple of people,don’t know if that would happen in time for 2026 though

I genuinely think the cost of Northampton is issue there, the money being banded around is £150,000 with no gaurentee of a crowd, that’s a big cost and a gamble for someone with money and no tolley isn’t interested

And this is the reality, at least 2 ongoing possible situations are at the mercy of courts and could be years away, at least another 1 is at the mercy of the council and planning, and there is one other that is trying a new approach but getting blood out of stone comes to mind at the moment, so what’s left is mildenhall Bradford,Northampton, iwade, Isle of Wight, who all have up and running tracks but all have issues to overcome, the last option is a championship team running another premiership team, I think it will be 5 with Ipswich

No he doing FA

They are trying for a 6th team along with others independently of the bspl , if anyone is successful is another matter but people are trying

This is the last one he sent us, as I said before I don’t know what counts as a view and I assume it’s over all platforms, is that good enough for you or do you want me to get mark zuckerberg or Elon musk to contact you personally

I was told on Sunday that Doyle will be Ipswich no1 ? And it was from someone who does know Doyle which would means he has to go back on his own statement so who knows but like you I’m just can’t get excited about the premier league, I just feel they are making a big mistake for the sport with 5 teams, as I said on the podcast on Sunday I know they are trying for another team and I know others are trying with other clubs too but as it is right now it’s going to be 5

No sadly is confined to the history books, the only place that could possibly host speedway is Nottingham greyhound stadium but as far as I aware there no plans to ever reopen long Eaton

The live Xmas episode from Wednesday is now available to watch on YouTube

You would hope on the drink and drugs at least the SCB would be insisting on regular testing but he hasn’t been caught for that so he could deem it a bit unfair

Whoever signs him will get a real racer but is that enough for some to overcome his crimes ???

The people who are running the meetings, Nora doesn’t have any rules regarding speedway, they have general rules about tracks bikes etc but no rule book regarding the actual race format

Nora doesn’t have a format for any meetings, it is only really the same as acu, it has no say in how a meeting is run, it’s basically a licence and insurance company, they are cheaper and some would say less complicated than the ACU and you find more and more disciplines are turning to Nora because of the incompetence and the price of the ACU

Can you explain your objection to Nora

We live on FB live at 8pm, join in, ask your question to the panel, not sure what happened to Ben barker tonight

Not quite the same though is it Phil, you know in your heart this premier league of 5 or even 6 is not enough and just for this year at least it should of been made to work as one big league

Nothing to report at the moment

Doesn’t he have to factor in he needs a visa to live here? he has a house in Warrington with his girlfriend/wife, so would of said until he gets citizenship he has no choice but to ride here

Not just a top a rider though, just zmarzlik, he is the exception the others are no more enticing than riders like Vinny foord, speedway for me is about the team not the individual, my team, my club my affiliation and I want to see different teams come to my club not the same team every few weeks, sadly I don’t have a team anymore so I struggle to get motivated to follow the league structure but seeing different teams at least gives me interest but a 5 team league is just not appealing

If I can ride my 1952 jap I’m game 😂

The thing what a lot of people don’t get about polish speedway is you can’t have an off day or even a slightly off day, some clubs worse than others,Pickering would probably had a bollocking for not scoring enough points even though they took him out his ride, it is a different mentality over there than it is in England, over here clubs understand you are human and not everyday you’re at your best but over there you are a machine and if the machine is not a full production they not happy especially if they don’t win but in Poland one thing you don’t do is threaten not to come back next week

Slightly off topic but have you seen the video on polish tv of Pickering spitting his dummy out because he was taken out of a ride,it pretty much shows you why he doesn’t ride for leszno anymore

360 podcast is doing live episode on FB at 8pm on Sunday, Derek ,myself, Simon lambert,Stuart Robson and Ben barker, take part, submit your live questions and comments, what could possibly go wrong with that 😂
