Only in Speedway lol Some riders are so keen to hand the bucket out for whatever they need nowadays. Best one was a yank rider who wanted British fans to buy airfare tickets so his wife & kids could fly over and live in another country (Poland) lol Collections should only be made for riders like ricky ashworth and similar riders with long term injuries.

I am sure we will see a fired up bees team on Friday, just hope the lions are not thinking it will be another easy meeting and then get stuffed. Think bees will win by 10 points as they look too strong at home.

Is Ben Morley reserve again ?

it didn't catch doyle or auty out, bees were just out gated on a gaters track

Superb home win, One decent race out of 15 heats . Track was slick and crowd looked thin for a local derby. Think the lions will do really well this season at home.

So you want him to race on Mother's Day a few days after losing his mother ? I think him turning up for P&P for Coventry shows his commitment to the club,as for racing his head won't be ready for a few weeks I doubt.

Robbing the fans using R/R speedway is a 7 man team event and a suitable replacement should be found.

Haven't they had All winter to check things are working ?

I agree prices should be reduced with a max £10 for this meeting.

I feel if people pay good money they expect top entertainment not riders practising or trying out bike set ups,one way for newbies never to return.

The product is a massive problem at Leicester & the management don't seem to want to fix it. With so many top riders walking away including britains number one rider it says it all for speedways future in the uk. Speedway racing needs to improve and it needs to be cheaper.

ELRC £25 plus programme is what is killing speedway, its becoming a rich persons sport Speedway needs to be a £10 sport

Hackney was very dangerous,I think there were 4 riders who died on that track and many seriously injured. It's frightening to think what it would be like with todays bikes.

But it's ok for clubs to pay the airfares for overseas riders & mechanics ? My first thoughts were where were the Coventry fans with there bucket ? They were quick enough to find money for a riders wife & kids to fly around the world to live in Poland but not to help out an English rider. Saying that if lewis was that keen he would spend a week in Coventry knocking on doors looking for sponsorship. I think there is more too it.

Why are people worrying about the 45 day wait ? If the FIM do the right thing then darcy will have a 2 year wait to ride again and rightly so.

Darcy says It's getting to him, does he still think he did nothing wrong . I hope he gets a 2 year ban, something needs to wake him up

So sad, He was a great man and a superb engine tuner. Spent a lot of hours listening to his many stories & his views on the sport. So many great memories RIP Lew

There have been far too many second rate aussies over here for decades now, Lets hope only the very best get in this time. poor old darcy is still waiting LOL

People said how much faster holder was in the final GP and then how he blew his engine to bits in the last race after becoming world champion. Would I say holder was cheating no but many do,the problem is cheating doesn't just exist through machinery it can be through throwing races,touching the tapes so a reserve can come out,laying the bike down for a restart.ect Look at football,how many players take a dive, it's in every sport.

Will there be a ban on british passport holders riding for Austrailia now ?

I am pleased if it stops the amount of second rate aussies and americans riding here. #Backthebritishkids

how many riders have had concussion but still rode a day or two after ?

I know 2 ex-riders who suffer with constant migraines, we were chatting about it a few seasons ago when we saw a rider clout the ground with his head and took no further part in the meeting but rode 2 days later, everyone who rides a bike knows the risks but if a rider has concussion should the bspa make the rider sit out the next 14 days as a precaution ?

So Holder agrees with the tests as long as a fellow Aussie don't get banned if they fail the tests ? If he is over the limit ban him for a long time

Had some great days at Oxford and really hope they return to sandy lane.
