Gutted for all you panthers fans and I will really miss the trips down the A47 for the local derby.Hope you run this season whatever league that may be as once gone, I fear the local residents will object if /when you return. All the best and fingers crossed

Welcome to the elite league!Looks like Leicester will be the stars local derby now, and on a Saturday too, happy days, good luck and looking forward to my first trip.

2brits at reserve! How many years have people been calling for a system that gives the young brits a look in?Now it looks like being implemented , the majority of comments are negative!FFsake wind your necks in and lets give this proposal some SUPPORT.Something needed to be done, and a step has been taken in the right direction. Lets give our home grown talent a chance.They will be part of a team with much more experienced riders they can learn from, they will have a couple of reserve rides each meeting PLUS the opportunity to mix it with the big boys, confidence will come with racing against reserves and that will hopefully be carried across to any extra rides they may get. Sure, it may be too much of a step for some but not for others but no one will know until the idea is tried out.Roll on 2014

Couldnt agree more, dan halsey appears to have a nasty habit of turning right on opponents. There are hard riders and there are dirty riders, but that was reckless and dangerous, deliberate and un necessary

That is something a promoter would need to consider prior to building his team, ie how many likely absences and build the team accordingly. How about any team absences, bring in the no 8 and bump everyone up a place in the team, ie 2nd heat leader becomes no1 in his absence or 1st reserve moves up to 2nd string if one is absent. I know there will always be unforseen absences, it is inevitable but if a system like this was used surely promoters would have to seriously consider whether or not to offer a team place to a rider who has a history or likelihood of missing several meetings.

Should have picked richie worrall for event 2, he has take some seriously big scalps around the NA recent weeks

The silence from the norfolk arena is deafening.Looks like r/r for mads on friday, stead and alden in the engine room and howe at reserve

I seem to remember lasse bjerre rode something like 11 meetings for the stars in the pl, almost becoming an asset, then peterboro came in and signed him as a "protected asset" or some tosh like that, effectively pinching him from under kl's noses so be aware!

Done .

Riders have been banned in the past, including a world champion (gary havelock) for. substance use. Comments on social network sites have led to bans / reprimands , so what makes darcy ward so special that he appears to avoid punishment?Hopefully his visa appication will be turned down.Yes, he is a phenomenal talent on a speedway bike and good to watch but do we want to be seen to condone the actions of a young man with dubious morals just because he can race a speedway bike?

Cant imagine the stars facing a stronger team this season, should be a cracker.

Looking at the fixture list briefly it would appear that kozza will miss 4 meetings away and steady will miss only one, unfortunately its away to swindon on 2nd may when sheffield are at home to redcar

True, but every cloud has a silver lining , hey

Having spent a few seasons at both tracks i can confirm that the norfolk arena is almost, but not quite as cold as the abbey!

only one double upper per position this year, pl guest if absent

Even more than the other one!

like that a LOT .

Mads schlein and puk would be even better!

Looks like Mads may be coming back next season according to the swindon article in the star,but not so likely to see "magic"

Just thinking with ben barker signing for ippo he could race at lynn wednesday, kip in one of the sheds then a short hop across to suffolk the following day!Simples

barker, howe and harris ?

Nor has he ever had a season as good as this one, by a long chalk, seems to have stepped up a level

No thanks

expensive and poor!

Didnt buster say that there would be no speedway for a week before the world cup at the last home meeting?
