PHILIPRISING

JUST because she has joined BT Sport doesn't necessarily mean she will have much in any involvement with speedway and certainly won't be the regular studio anchor alongside Scott Nicholls.

NOT sure about that...

BEEN thinking along those lines myself. When Briggo did his ride a few years back it was for the benefit of all those disabled former riders. Hoping to catch up with Alan Wilkinson at the opening on the NSS on the 19th. What a hero. And his wife Jean, too. So easy to forget those whose own lives are also turned upside down to say the least.

POINT of entry to the track ... lots of tyre packing between now and March 19th.

PROBABLY not something people will avail themselves of every week but a nice treat now and then, special occasions perhaps, in pleasant surroundings and no doubt there will be a veggie option available.

LOOKS like a good deal ... http://www.bellevueaces.co/newsitem.aspx?id=1630

THINK Tatum might just get the best out of him ...

SAME tuner (PJR) as Woffinden and Hancock I believe ... down to confidence with Chris. Has been at a low ebb since his accidents but if he can recover that no reason why he shouldn't challenge for the title again.

SEEMS to be. Tough to think of other motor sports, cars or bikes, that don't have wet weather tyres. I'm no expert but countless conversations over the years with riders at all levels saying that a speedway tyre in the wet is next to useless.

SEVERAL riders will tell you that if they had a choice of tyres for wet conditions far fewer meetings would actually be call;ed off.

Should know better than to not check spelling before posting

ONE on the Manchurian Way certainly has 2016 ...

and a rule book that hardly anyone knows other than officials ... some comparison with speedway then

THOSE were the days ... some of the best meetings (attended and race wise) that I was at ...

FOR the British Final? More than enough. Agree, Monday not the best night for travelling fans south of the Midlands.

WHY?

IT isn't Greg ...

NP and KT will certainly provide the commentary. Not sure what BT's studio plans are.

THE kink is there because that was part of the old Hyde Road circuit which Chris Morton is trying to replicate as near as possible.

WHEN I was there the straights were pretty long with wide, banked bends. Assured that everything is on schedule for March 19. Just hope the weather gods oblige. The BV management are unhappy with the drone photos going public, perhaps because of the misconceptions being aired here.

SADLY, in speedway I'm not sure there is. The Liverpool owners are hardly going to close Anfield, which is already under-going a massive extension.

I'VE always thought of Peterborough as a big, sweeping oval whereas the new BV will have distinctive straights and bends.

THEN they are deceptive. Don't think it will be like Peterborough at all.

HOW did we manage to get here on a topic about Belle Vue? This is the dark side of the bsf in my opinion and totally unnecessary.

HIS Polish team went bust ...
