Speedball

No real surprise but Lewis Rose and Josh Bailey confirmed at last night's supporters evening. Young Josh apparently had Dudley and Mildenhall interested in his signature but thankfully commonsense prevailed Pleased that the emphasis again will be on development rather than chasing trophies. All should be proud to see Kerr, Rose & Lambert lineup for the Elite League side next year

The NLSpeedway Twitter account asked this very question. "Any chance we'll see the Saints return next year @SpeedwayScunny?" "@SpeedwayScunny: never say never;-) ;-)" Hopefully that's a positive indication that they may be back in 2014.

Just seen this on the SpeedwayGB site. Good news and long overdue in my opinion. ------------------ THE 2014 British Youth Championship will incorporate a new 150cc support class – with the opportunity for youngsters to get involved at reduced cost. Hagon Shocks and Martin Dugard will make available a Standard Box Engine Daytona Anima 150FDX, which will be sold for a price of £700 (RRP £889), including VAT and delivery. The price difference is created by the sponsorship of Hagon Shocks to encourage British Speedway. Dugard, along with youngster Tom Brennan, has already carried out testing, and Tom has completed 320-330 laps – the equivalent of 80 heats or 16 meetings – with only one oil change, and a change of spark plug at a cost of £8. GB Youth co-boss Neil Vatcher said: “On the back of Britain having a World Champion, this is exciting news for young boys or girls who would like to compete in the 2014 British Youth Championship on an inexpensive brand-new speedway machine.” The Young Lions Management can be contacted at -email- for more information regarding purchasing a new engine, and any interest in competing in the series next year.

Thought it had been mentioned that there was now to be an instant R/R for injured riders? Makes good sense to me,

I was fortunate enough to be asked to take part in an end of season speedway podcast with KL team manager Rob Lyon by one of our local papers (EDP). One of the topics covered was speed of bikes etc and I asked Rob about F2. He's very much in favour of the development, especially for young riders. You can listen to the full podcast via http://www.edp24.co....f_two_1_2819611 if anyone is interested. From memory I think it's in the "Ask Rob" section around about the middle of the podcast (if you don't want all the chat about the Stars season).

Hi, any chance of the link as well please? Thanks

Interesting that the Young Stars are to announce an "exciting" signing tomorrow morning. I'm really hoping it's Robert Lambert. Couldn't think of anyone more exciting at NL level.

Tom Young has signed on loan from Scunny

Agree with the heat times previously given. I got 65.34 for Heat 5 and I thought that Heat 6 was awarded due to Strudwick's crash.

King's Lynn beat Mildenhall 22-11 in last night's fixture. I can provide heat details when I get home this evening if anyone wants them. Nick Laurence top scored for the Lightning with 9 (3 ride max).

Scott Campos confirmed as the final rider. Welcome back Scott. Young Stars open their season away to Scunny on April 9th and then host USA Future on April 11th

Well I know you're coming to King's Lynn on April 11th and am looking forward to it The USA Dream Team meeting last season certainly was "eventful" but cracking entertainment until the weather spoilt things.

Looks like the Young Stars are just looking for the final reserve and I'd be very surprised if it isn't Scott Campos on 5.27 1. Cockle (7.47) 2. Johnson (5.52) 3. Knight (6.59) 4. Lowe (5.62) 5. Kerr (5.55) 6. Stokes (3.71) 7. Campos (5.27) - TBC Looks a pretty solid team that should hold it's own at the NA. Hopefully Knight and Kerr will be the big improvers. Also see we've drawn that lot from just down the road in the KO Cup. Bring it on

Fantastic write up Duffyscouse Kicking myself for not going now. Talked myself out of it after seeing the score on Friday night. Just couldn't see Mildenhall getting anywhere close. How wrong was I. I'm so pleased how the season has turned out for Mildenhall. If any bunch of fans deserve some good times, it has to be that mob. However, I'll make no secret that I wanted the Scunfield boys to win. Lots of admiration of the team they put together this season and of course especially pleased for young Crumpie Nielsen

Don't think he rode for the Young Stars at Newport According to Live Updates the Young Stars team was: Adam Allott, R/R for James Cockle, Tom Stokes, Scott Campos, Lewis Kerr, Rhys Naylor and Sam Woods. I was told he got dropped for the remainder of the season. Why, I have no idea but I certainly hope to see him back as a Young Star in 2012.

I think so. Not heard of any changes I hear the quality of the updates for this meeting has increased ten fold. No more of that Mungo and Bagpuss rubbish, the Dream Team of updaters are on the case

Don't worry Sandie, I think we've actually met once before, several years back in Bydgoszcz. My mate and I sat with your lot in Sektor B and I think stayed in the same hotel My user name on here used to be AJH before changing my e-mail address made my profile inaccessible for some reason Anyway, looking forward to tonight and seeing how Armstrong, Woods and the Dream Team lads get on. And even better, pass away a few hours before heading off to Montenegro for the England game

Looking forward to this as I missed the visit last season. Bring your bucket my way Sandie and I'll gladly donate

Bugger forgot about this. How many heats gone and what's the score please?

I could (then I woke up)

Make it 5 First time I've tuned in and really impressed. What a great idea.

Don't know if anyone else has seen but the new Speedway GP app by Vivid Games has been released. Downloaded it yesterday and it's not bad. The full app costs £1.99 and there is a free "lite" version also available from iTunes. Pretty easy to get the hang of and won the World Title controlling Bomber in my first season (see it's very realistic) It's very much like the Techland offerings on the PC a few years back but nice to finally see a speedway offering on the iPhone. Hope it's a success Edit - Bit of blurb here Link to iTunes Store

Well just to add to the rush, you can count 3 of us coming along. Can't believe it's the last NL league fixture of the season already

No probs Sue. It was very late that I decided to go tonight. Cracking meeting but spoilt by the injuries to Darren and Lewis. I'm told Darren has a broken femur and Lewis a badly swollen ankle but hopefully not broken. Killer Cat - the scores are on my Twitter page (see link above). I'm on my phone so can't paste them across to here.

Doing brief updates on www.twitter.com/Speedball74 if anyone gives a toss lol
