Through my involvement with a few different riders over the years I have had an opportunity to witness at first hand how well some clubs are run. I have helped riders to manage their finances through completing their accounts, Tax Returns, VAT Returns etc. and in addition I often assisted them in the pits as well so I got to see a lot of the Speedway world at close quarters. One rider I helped rode for the Witches and unlike some other clubs he rode for, he was always paid on time and the paperwork was always spot on. Without doubt it was one of the best run clubs we had dealings with. I have nothing but admiration for the Witches promotion although I really hope the announcement last week will not result in the loss of Speedway at Foxhall.

I suspect there are very few clubs these days that are worth much at all. A would be investor will usually need deep pockets as many have found out over the years.

Cousin I believe.

Maybe a case of ‘Better the devil you know’ 🙂

I don’t think Will is going to be riding for BV on Friday or for that matter Leicester on Sunday as he is due to be riding in California on Saturday!

This looks like an interesting meeting in Holland. Not often one sees British clubs riding abroad these days! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CWwXTGswh/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The BSPL website has indeed been changed again but it is now showing Glasgow (BSN) once more on 10 October and no mention of Poole (KOC)! I wonder how many more attempts they will need?

Yes whoever has been updating fixtures on the website is really struggling at the moment! Currently Redcar v Glasgow (BSN) and v Poole (KOC) same time same date!

Well if anyone wanted an example of how Speedway fans are treated with complete contempt you have it at Oxford today!

I’ve been saying all season that this Ipswich team is quite beatable. Next week will be a tough one.

Maybe you only need to trot out that line when you fiddle the semi-final draw? 😄

Yes that’s still quite possible so I have updated my post.

Leicester’s home and away legs take place during the week commencing Monday 15 September.

Leicester will play Sheffield unless of course Sheffield finish top! 😊

Well you have 4th spot now confirmed and Leicester will finish either second or third. Not sure about Sheffield and Ipswich but no doubt the powers that be have it all under control! 🤷‍♀️
