Didn’t Phil Morris mention a new track was supposed to open in a live YouTube presentation at the end of 2023 I think? I believe it was supposed to be in Northamptonshire?

It says the event has been coming to the stadium for the last 3 years. Shows how much the local press are in touch with speedway.

One of speedways great characters. RIP Uncle Len

It is Iversen guesting

From what I’ve seen I’m pretty sure Belle Vue pit staff wear hi viz vests with the Aces logo on & the clark of the course has a jacket with clerk of the course on the back?

Nice to see Anders Rowe supporting The Pirates in his Rzeszow jacket!

That would be £140 or so a week on speedway these days. I used to do Belle Vue Monday, Sheffield Thursday, Scunthorpe Friday, Stoke/Workington or if Belle Vue were racing Coventry on a Saturday & Buxton Sunday. I often went to Milton Keynes, Northampton or Oxford on training courses & have done Reading Monday, Peterborough Pumas Tuesday & either Kings Lynn/Poole/Arena Essex or Birmingham Wednesday. I’ve still never seen Speedway at Oxford.

Klindt is in for Holder

Your ‘feeling’ is correct & it’s Smith for Robert Lambert

I believe whippet tickling & putting a ferret down your pants are both popular things to do on the dark side of the Pennines.

It doesn’t apply to diesel vans with euro 6 engines which modern vans have had from about 2015 onwards. Plenty of sponsored new vans in speedway so I guess most riders won’t be affected.

Rasmus isn’t coming to the UK, he’s riding in Denmark, Poland & Sweden next season.

I think when Dan goes to a Sweden in 2022 he’ll go on a low average but if he didn’t go until 2023 he’ll go on his Polish average which would probably be higher? I’m sure someone will know if that’s the rule?

How sad. A real character who put his heart & soul into Stoke Speedway. RIP Dave.

Well said.. Every club has stands full of team managers. I wish him the best but if he does badly & gets sacked then I guess the Stars will be needing a new team sponsor too?

Was Palin overlooked or did Peterborough get to pick their choice of rider before Belle Vue? Bickley hasn’t move forward as expected.

Very sad news. A real entertainer & character. RIP Danny.

I think they mean all 3 leagues in the same season??

They are running Friday's.

Lindback isn't sponsored by Monster anymore, he's sponsored by Black Ant energy drink.

Let's face it, Roscoe will do anything to get his face on TV. Why was Nicholls blocked as a matter of interest?

This is one of the few matches I used to like to watch at Sheffield especially when Larsen & Bach rode together. Newcastle generally looked to have a good top 5 in their teams over the years but Stevie Worrall is not a number one by any means, Rosen looks weak, Henry can go from good to bad in a flash & Lindgren doesn't seem to travel well. Kerr is hitting a bit of form & Nielsen has a point to prove but I reckon they'll get a spanking. If Rose is still injured it seems to find a reserve who goes well around there. The highlight of any meeting at Sheffield is without doubt the carvery.

Football & I watched touring cars the other week which were ok. I don't watch England play footie though as they are terrible to watch. Although you never asked I will let you know what I don't watch. Cricket & golf which I can't separate for which is the most boring, F1, which is so dull these days & snooker. zzzzzzzzzzzzz One of my colleagues listens to cricket on his headphones in the office which I guess must make it more interesting having to guess who is stood where. I really don't get it.

Yes I know what you mean about the smell, a very good description. I started drinking Lucozade Sport when I started cycling & I couldn't stop peeing. I stopped drinking it & was back to normal If you can call staring at a wall for 5 minutes with a tap running for assistance normal.
