do the Bears have first call??

the joker ruins this competition - its nothing short of pathetic also BV should host this - nowt wrong with KL but its supposed to be National Stadium

well they are probably two of the most crucial issues the sport is facing.

be good to have a British Open at BV with an invited field of say 6 or 7 brits and a stellar cast from the rest. British Open is a recognised brand name and a TV company would probably be interested bit like the old Internationale but with a recognisable brand tag

I mentioned this team earlier - they had Storer, Brown and Keeter all struggling from time to time yet stuck with them. I'm sure the fans were behind them and formed a bond. DD/DU simply has to go if the sport wants credibility - if it doesn't - fine, carry on and I do not believe there aren't enough riders - they said that in 1969 when bl2 expanded but they found riders ok

I know someone who is a relative of 1933 unofficial world champion Harry Whitfield and has some memorabilia to sell. I have no further details but I am happy to pass on her email address to serious collectors. Message me on here - hope this is ok

Leicester - 68 or 69 i think made one single change in a single match

I don't believe there is a facility for relegation to the NL - just from PL to CL so relax in any case I believe there will be more changes this winter which may see a larger CL

very good point about the shape - I have long wondered why Newcastle don't have a shorter and wider circuit - I for one do not like watching there which is a shame because its only a mile from my home!

I think it is in a better place - unfortunately not reflected in attendance growth at the moment Next steps? Reduce the DU/DD to more manageable level and work towards getting rid. NL seems to work for most of its clubs doesn't it? - perhaps this is the level for Championship clubs

thank god we've cleared that one up!

he's a temporary replacement - not a permanent signing, when his time with us is up he'll move on

wasn't aimed at you - it was at MD who is being stupid. Bears do feel hard done by as would Tigers had things gone their way - it'll blow over independent body needed - has been needed since teams adopted the win at all costs attitude

sly dig here and the other post. Grow up

Bernard Gent.

idiotic comment if i may say so with dozens of riders all over the world in wheelchairs or deceased and many many more with lifelong injuries

Scunthorpe are on the bones of their ar*e at the moment - perhaps you'd prefer them to pull out of the league - what the hell difference is he going to make with his current form - 4/5 points its an unusual situation - not one that will happen again in a hurry

you make a fair comment of course but this isn't what the NL was for. How are Buxton and Mildenhall, etc supposed to compete with this?

personally I was never happier than the 60s and 70s when second div riders turned up from a days work with a bike stopped to the back of the car and a spare motor and there was none of this du/dd. I'll happily take a drop in second div rider standards to get back there

fair comment - I'm just frustrated - I guess. u are too

hey - its not my problem - its yours, you're losing the income we're nearly all part time fans - thats why there's hardly any left!! What riders should be doing??? Appearing for my team that I pay money to watch, except I'm not tomorrow its second division speedway - one bike should suffice - ride the bloody track spare I don't care once upon a time I would have gone regardless - not any more I'm afraid, not at 16 bones a go and by the way I'm not a part time fan I'm a customer

Christ he must have more than one I was taking 3 adults and 2 kids - £56 plus 10 or 15 at the bar and shop - going to an Italian instead - all dishes on the menu will be available

yes but ours aren't - dozens and dozens won't go - the cost of a flight will be nothing with 200 £16 quids missing

this will affect not just Redcar result but crowd too

this was an interesting topic - completely ruined
