Would be nice to see Dan Bewley as a WC for one of the Wroclaw rounds! -
You need to upload them to an image hosting site like imgur.com Then to post on here just drag and drop the uploaded image from the hosting site to the reply box on here

Anyone happen to know when they'll release tickets for the Sheffield meeting 2 weeks today? Thought'd they be available by now.. Will keep checking the Box Office site - http://www.wolverhampton-speedway.com/boxoffice
-
Was confirmed yesterday by Eurosport
-
Mark Jenkinson's post from Friday incase anyone missed it...
-
Sounds promising, interesting comments by Steve Lawson to that tweet
-
The upcoming fixtures on the SpeedwayGB website have been updated I noticed.. All fixtures prior to 17th May have been removed.. But are still on the Fixtures/Results page though.
-
Correct, and I think people posting about him probably think this too, he is miles away from being ready. I believe he has only rode 1 senior meeting on a 500c bike! It's not beyond the realms of possibility of him actually signing though based on Plymouth's signings so far and his links with Gerry Sims etc.
-
Yeah well of course, that's obvious! I mean his qualification as a EU national would be significantly easier in him gaining a T2 sportsperson visa
-
I'd imagine he will have Dual Nationality perhaps? He's Swedish born which will qualify him for a passport. Although I've no idea if that automatically qualifies him to race in a post-Brexit Britain?
-
Plymouth's race night looks like it's going to be on a Friday, according to their updated website page - https://plymouth-speedway.com/contact
-
If Plymouth are to enter the Championship in 2021 their options for riders seem fairly limited apart from some of ex Rebels of 2020. Schlein? BWD? Anders Rowe? etc. Would of thought Ben Barker would be a candidate but was quickly snapped up by Newcastle. Adam Ellis and Rasmus Jensen are others I can think of but most of these options won't be cheap and 8+ averages. Seems to be a lack of 4,5,6 and 7 point riders available.

http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/files/downloads/c19_issue_34.pdf British riders listed get 2.5% deducted from those figures
-
Probably not too much, looking at it they should both be able to track their existing teams. Eastbourne definately, depends if Connor Bailey is classed as British for Glasgow.
-
Lewis Bridger then? Average will be under 6.5
-
Sad news if Somerset don't reappear in 2022, I hope they will in some form. Starting the Cardiff weekend off at Somerset on the Friday, was one of the true highlights of the season, seeing those grass banks full of different team colours defined the sport as I new it growing up.

Putting the clubs license on ice still costs £5k from what I remember? Unless it's changed, but that's what the Workington promotion did, with the intention of sitting out a year and never to be seen again...

Warsaw GP moved from the 15th May to 7th August - https://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/8714/2021-pzm-warsaw-sgp-of -
So Australia rode their 4 heats against the teams who finished in the top 4, Russia, Poland, Denmark and Sweden.. If they'd got to ride against GB and the Czechs they would of been making the top 3 easily, just shows how ridiculous calling a meeting part-way through is. Mark Lemon was quite right to be a bit pissed off!
-
Re-staging at 11am local (10am UK) tomorrow if it doesn't go ahead tonight!
-
I don't get posts like this, "I don't do twitter" you don't have to have an account to view anything they post, it's all available for free without signing into anything - https://twitter.com/TheAces Infact all of their Twitter posts are even embedded onto their Website homepage! Is it working? Absolutely, the website viewing figures alone won't be 1% of what the same post on Twitter reaches in terms of audience. Belle Vue have 15k followers alone, and the Twitter post from 2 hours ago has already been retweeted by Multiple (10+) accounts with over 10k plus followers of their own, mostly 15k+, including the official SpeedwayGB one, around 28k followers. The reach of Twitter will be hundreds of thousands just for that one post, this is before you factor in the same news posted on Facebook and Instagram, the reach of social media is massive, traditional websites are becoming obsolete because of hosting fees etc. No one is sitting around pressing F5 on the Belle Vue website waiting for news to come through...
-
Yeah he pretty much confirmed he will be back in 2021 at Ipswich in the British Final programme. Good news for British Speedway i'd say, hope Nikki P follows suit.
-
That's Chris Harris on Flint's bike. Crump was riding for Belle Vue
-
Hardly a surprise, especially given the Rugby League announcement yesterday. I think most clubs will be fine tbh and be at the tapes in 2021 in some format. Might be a shortage of riders however, having just read the news about Nico Covatti, both British and Foreign riders may follow him in pursuit of other long-term careers.
