Imminently someone told me yesterday (not an official source though)

He was very good last night

Track was rough after the stock cars, several grades in the first few heats, not enough water down. Finally sorted after the interval and some decent races in the later heats Presentation is pretty dull as mentioned elsewhere which is a shame as they have the chance to do something new. The tannoy is also pretty quiet in certain areas. More importantly though they need a couple of changes in the team, presumably Zagar will be back plus 1 other needed. A decent crowd (I'd say approx 1k?) but they really need some home wins or people will get fed up

Probably because the GP series they took over was losing money and required stabilising first to put it back on an even keel

He's seriously out of form though

Can they realistically bring Zagar back but retain Jeppesen?

I think Discovery had some discussions with the London Stadium a few years ago (2022 ish) which i believe were positive although they stuck with Cardiff in the end. The stadium were keen afaik but I know West Ham want to take control of the stadium and if they can strike a deal with the Mayor then it might be more difficult

I think the demise of the speedway GP finances may well be linked to the fall off in Cardiff attendances/sponsorship hence why it was the first to be cut

Who might Northampton get instead though? Plus they may also have ideas about replacing Klindt

I was at the Lynn match, I'd say between 1,300 and 1,500

Whereas they announced over the tannoy whilst the injured riders were being treated and before the exclusion light came on that "the ref was reviewing the video footage"

Agreed dreadful from all 3

Just back. Very decent set up, track needs a bit of work, bit narrow on entrance and exit of the corners but they could extend it on to the infield in time There's an outside line on 1 and 2 if you get it right as Bomber did in one heat,nothing on 3rd and 4th though, reminded me of Foxhall The team however is very Birmingham notwithstanding injuries to Niels and Zagar, if they can't get Lidsey, Klindt and Batchelor going it's hard to see who they might beat. Kye Thomson showing them the way, absolutely brilliant performance but he won't score that every week

I'm going to this, it'll be close i think 46-44 Foxes

No mainstream tv as well means reduced interest in the sport generally whether people like that or not
