Aussies getting to the UK
crescent girl replied to BrizHeathen's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The Dubai route hasn't been 'cheap' since COVID, people use it because of speed, and direct arrivals at various UK airports The most-economical route of late has been China Airlines, via Taipei -- close to half the cost of Emirates this past winter! -
Practice now moved to Friday 27, prior to social event in B&G.
-
The "Press" part can be done for cameras, etc, (the clue is in the name) anytime the team is assembled, and race-suits are ready. The "practice" part could allow the remaining five plenty of track-time as PK and Nick are "practising" at Glasgow.

Nick Morris is also racing in it

With just about a month to Opening Night, there does seem a vibe about the club this year. The regular Total Access podcasting by Greg Blair is refreshing, not least since he has sorted out the sound with a proper mike. A few lesser podcasts are more reminiscent of two cocoa tins and a length of string.

Free parking, eh?

Scunthorpe 2026

They're ALL aggregate score competitions! -
Some short memories here. Was it not part of the 'package' of adjustments created, to allow resurrection of the Comets after the league suspended their membership last summer, that meeting starts between changed to 6pm? Personally, l would prefer to visit Northside for 3pm starts, but if the 6pm time means they will survive as a club, there's no question -- six o'clock it is!
-
No, Scotland's winning start is on the Sunday (14th) Although England are playing (late kick-off) on the night Poole are at Shielfield (27th)
-
Press and Practice same date as BenFund Bonanza?

Is that a threat? Rob will be trembling..... -
Can't agree with you for once. All FIM meetings are very important, but FIM Europe events are run by and for Polish television, and should be if no interest to UK authorities

I guess we'll find out in time. He's fairly pushing the boat out this year, travelling so far north, eh? -

Since he raced last season in Britain, he can't get the discount. He should return to Championship on his average from the NL, converted at the standard rate. Less the "British" discount.. -

Perhaps the Godfreys' ambition is to run the Scunthorpe speedway to a sensible budget, and provide entertainment (and home wins) for many seasons to come? -
Nikkas Holm tried out at Berwick last season, introduced by Jonas J...... Clearly JJ is the contact who has got him the Northside gig Good luck to the lad, he seemed to be a very nice young chap
-
Well, he's got one already!

He froze himself out, in a way! Declined at least two invitations to ride for clubs he judged "too far north" didn't he? -
Concussion, plus shoulder injury.

Noted.....

Something to bear in mind is the deeper repercussions of signing Jason Garrity. In Scottish soccer, when a couple of clubs tried to sign a very talented, but flawed player called David Goodwillie, the negative reaction didn't necessarily come from other clubs or supporters. In one case, a club was informed by the local council that, due to their announcement of signing him, the lease on their ground was to be terminated, another reaction came from major sponsors at another club withdrawing their funding. David Goodwillie has never been tried or convicted of the offence widely reported, but "The Court of Public Opinion" has decided football no longer wants or needs him. Might Garrity's future be ordained in the same way?
-
Yes, for motoring offences. Garrity was banged up for horrible crimes, and the ACU should take this into consideration.

Most hopefully not
