6 628 Yes, Six thousand six hundred and twenty eight attended Derwent Park yesterday evening. Need to tap into that figure to watch the Comets as it is better value for money than watching that Mickey Mouse Sport they went to last night.

Bradford could not support the team when they were around, only Hams money kept them afloat for as long as they did ride. Before any snide remarks I am from Bradford and followed them year in year out, but the support was not good enough to sustain them.

Have a licence again, run the Acadamy? When a business fails, it fails due to collective decisions. With a 10 year partnership, why is it only a one sided fault? You can be the nicest, most welcoming person in the world, but when it comes to a business and it fails, its failed because you let it.

A complete fresh start is required at Belle Vue with new faces to push the club forward. No good arguing about who did what or said that, its done and time to move on. Leaving all behind is the way forward for everyone, especially Belle Vue.

Lance Armstrong was always perceived as whiter than white and then look what happened. Greg did himself no favours by doing what he did in the Speedway World Cup, now this!!!!! Well everyone will make their own minds up irrespective of bias reports to the contrary.

Today in the South Wales Evening Post http://www.southwales-eveningpost.co.uk/for-sale-signs-go-up-at-former-greyhound-track-and-park-and-ride-site-in-swansea/story-29606009-detail/story.html Looks like it is earmarked for housing!

If you ask for a copy of the MDL rules possibly you will find that any rider who has not made more than 50 National League Appearances is eligible to ride. The League being used to help up and coming juniors who could not hold down a firm team place by being inconsistent or not having enough track time.

Does anyone know which teams will be participating in the qualifying rounds for SWC 2017. Italy have been in it recently in qualifiers, but has anyone seen France or Austria in it recently, I mean in the last 10 years!

Having watched Rugby League since a child taken their by Dad, the changes up to today are reduced crowd levels by 80%. Yes Sky has come in and been indirectly responsible for promoting and decimating the game. What was a traditional winter sport is now a summer one so when no football on TV they get the Rugby to keep viewing figures but more than 50% of Amateur teams have gone since Sky started to cover it. Very few new fans go to Rugby League, look at the attendances for this years Challenge Cup Final and The Grand Final semi finals. Please if you post know the reality of the game, it is faster, looks good, but reality the world of Rugby League is not so rosy only a lot of fly by night gimmicks for a short term cash gain. SKY

Its very simple, was it ever checked and it is dangerous as the bike could have ended up anywhere if the rider became detached from it during the race

Prior to a meeting taking place the machine examiner checks all bikes are in correct order prior to racing, supposedly!!!! If a rider is deemed to ride dangerously he is disqualified? If a silencer drops off during a race he is excluded? If no dirt deflector is on during a race is he excluded? But if his cut out does not work after just winning a race, but before returning to pits what happens? Exclusion, disqualification or just bad luck?

That was the actual point of the tread as no one could name the line up until last minute, that prevented me from going.

I cannot believe the apathy towards this meeting as the best prospects for British Speedway will be on duty at the meeting. Not well publicized by either Birmingham or BSPA and no one on here cares!!!!!!!!!!!!

With a poor days racing and the disappointment of riders not taking part at PLRC a new direction for all 3 riders championships is required. The NSS is the ideal venue for all 3 on consecutive days, Friday for NLRC, Saturday for PLRC and Sunday for ELRC. A truly magnificent idea for a late date in October as when the Old BLRC took place. All play off matches finished and champions crowned the Riders Championships should end the season. Unless a new direction with these events is adopted then drop them as they are fast becoming meaningless to disgruntled fans. Today's episode at Sheffield shows that a man in charge thinks that it was great, but the paying public were more than dis satisfied with lack of programmed riders appearing as they were injured or indisposed.

I cant find any news or details anywhere on the forum (If there is sorry) Wednesday 14 September 19:30 sees Birmingham Speedway host the British Under 19 Championship at Perry Barr. Previously named riders to compete:- 1. Alfie Bowtell (Mildenhall), 2. Jack Thomas (Kent), 3. Zach Wajtknecht (Somerset and Birmingham), 4. James Shanes (Kent), 5. Max Clegg (Wolverhampton, Edinburgh and Cradley), 6. Jack Smith (Birmingham), 7. Ryan Kinsley (Kings Lynn), 8. Jamie Halder (Coventry), 9. Luke Harris (Eastbourne), 10. Kelsey Dugard (Isle of Wight), 11. Nathan Greaves (Sheffield and Kings Lynn), 12. Jack Parkinson Blackburn (Birmingham), 13. Josh Bailey (Scunthorpe and Kings Lynn), 14. Dan Bewley (Edinburgh and Belle Vue), 15. Luke Ruddick (Mildenhall), 16. Ellis Perks (Plymouth and Eastbourne). Reserves: 17. Ben Basford ( /Cradley), 18. Layne Cuppitt (Isle of Wight). Can anyone advise of the known replacements for injured riders?

Super fast meeting and some great racing. Only complaint is the track grading and watering the track. They don`t have a clue what they are doing and it was embarrassing to watch the track being watered when it was raining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went tonight and if you don`t consider that one sided, I think you must not watch a lot of speedway. Watch a lot of speedway all over the world and do not reserve any criticism to Belle Vue alone. A great crowd and congratulation to the tractor drivers who could not do the simplest thing like grade the track without having to do it over and over as they left lumps all over the place and had to be instructed continually. Pity Meredith was sacked.

Thank you for answering my question, it is appreciated. On that I will now go tonight and watch.

Is their a second half meeting? MDL or something as it will be very costly only to see 15 one sided heats and a result that a lot of fans will already know!

Every week in the Speedway Star they publish League Tables and Current Averages for Elite and Premier League. For National League it only does the League Table and no Averages. Is their anywhere that they are shown or are they not important to anyone?

Moving forward 12 months and the unusual list of injury presently existing, could the format be changed so all teams are involved with 2 stand by teams waiting if the same occurs as present. The winner of each group qualifying for the final and best second place from 3 groups. Stand by teams could be named ie:- Exeter, Weymouth, Milton Keynes, Long Eaton, whatever and have riders who have just missed out and are fringe riders just missing out on team places. This is forward planning and thinking, but could be hard for some to comprehend.

If he is not riding then I hope there is a good reason as I was going to support him tonight

After all the Electrical work at the Stadium call off`s

Lots of riders are paid for the points they score, but special riders are paid for appearance money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its too easy watching Sky tonight who was paid on appearance money!!!!!!! Who was paid for appearance money, do you dare to name and shame? KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
