gee jay

at least they haven't deliberately flooded the track to get a meeting postponed and stupidly done it when a member of the opposing team lives 20 mins down the road , now who was that with the short memory again ?

2 seasons ago was the last time it was competed for , no idea where it is hiding now . all i remember is the rider who had held on to it for most of the season lost it the meeting before they met eastbourne so adam ellis missed his chance.

thanks cheese , don't know where you got the news , i've been searching websites and twitter since 8.00 this morning for news.

think that would be very harsh on birmingham, the masons, riders and fans. a personal fine for rogers would be better but like you say why try and cheat against buxton for goodness sake.

that's what the difference is now . we've all seen these wonder kids before , some fulfill their promise , most don't . but i don't remember for decades what amounts to a little conveyor belt of 3 or more riders which have the whole league's attention . and we only have the likes of the thompson bros , the mcgurk bros , ablett, palin , freeman and quite a few others in not so distant future.

yep , as stoke potter says. have been muted noises for a few years but seems to be a lot louder this week with a story inside front page of s/star , on facebook and recent posts on forum saying possible return on what sounds a new track as early as next year . definitely yorkshire dukes so not to alienate halifax or bradford fans with gary havelock saying he'd love to be involved .

i know it's still pie in the sky with a long way to go but 'yorkshire dukes' as another stand alone set-up , is this another potential nail for buxton ?

bloody hell richard if you're this depressed after last saturday wait till this saturday night

if you liked him last year you'll love him this year. if he's got either a spanner man or a driver it will be a real help as i believe he was doing it all himself last year. hope he does well tomorrow.

maybe not having many meetings in the next 2 months tipped the scales but other than that one race on tv i didn't think it did him any favours last year , i thought he had found the travelling a bit much , perhaps he's got more help this time . good luck to him though .

is anyone filming the devils this year only it doesn't look like alex raby is ?

thanks for the reply jayne , good luck for the future .

eastbourne are one of the teams that some are saying are part of the problem for there being some very weak teams in the league but they have 2 members of the dugard family and 3 that came into the sport from grasstrack , so none have been enticed from other sides with big wage offers , and no i don't have any idea of anybodys points money . we are just lucky to have edwards because he would be at lakeside if they hadn't moved up and thought he chose eastbourne over the kings because of race night . that only leaves baseby . my point about the colts was look at the side buxton had when they won everything in 2010 ? craig cook , the wright bros and i think nick morris and rob branford , and have had garrity since , so i suppose i'm saying they were like a nursey club for the colts. they are not getting the bewleys and bickleys etc to buxton anymore which would have been the case a few seasons ago . just like to hear jayne's thoughts as she seems to tell it as it is . perhaps she'll answer me now i've explained myself better . if i have that is ?

oooops

it would be interesting to hear which jayne thinks has had the biggest negative impact on buxton . this superwage team from 200 mls south that is made up of 2 family members , 3 that the club brought into the sport from grasstrack and edwards who wouldn't be there if his local team hadn't moved up or belle vue running the colts.

i was thinking that it was birmingham through to kent he was missing , but the point is the same that we'll be weaker without him.

morley will have to work harder for a maximum this time as woods and brennan are riding out of their skins but without powell or with an injured powell if rumours are true and brooks battered and bruised from saturday i don't see eastbourne getting anything from this one.

eastbourne website updated again , this time correctly .

hope the management sort it out by tomorrow one way or the other. don't want to drop out of the cup belatedly because we had most of the team riding in the wrong positions

not according to eagles website . kelsey at 2 , edwards at 6.

thank you haguey . sometimes i can't see further than my nose . just ordered , thanks again.

hi barry , can't find any 2018 dvds on your website ?

maybe not a sign of the decline in british speedway just your declining interest in it .

don't know the reason for him stepping away from speedway in the first place but if the 'problem ' has hopefully gone then no reason to believe he isn't here to stay. add a fully fit and focused jack to the talent on show at the u-21 & u-19 brings a smile to my face.

mountain v morley worth half the entrance fee alone. seen both riders giving my team a battering this year . i wouldn't argue with that score .
