The Oxford version was terrible. Awful choice

The structural changes are happening very soon afaik. Been planned well before mayfield took over and would have been happening regardless of a future GP just this weekend foxhall hosted the banger world final championship which was a sell out. Fireworks night is also normally a 7k attendance if it’s dry.

Playing devils advocate if Poole and Glasgow were to join the premiership with their budget and ambition combined with Northamptons successful season crowd wise. Would those three clubs be ahead of Lynn in attracting riders ?

I think the seating is part of the requirement to hold such an event. I remember the very wet SON and hardly anyone used it over the week. Complete waste of money. normal FIM bureaucracy I guess

The track work will be done in the close season ready for march

It’s possible but currently the speedway track is about 250mm above the stock car track. Chris Louis wanted to increase the banking by raising the track but the stock cars would not allow it so only other option is to lower the kerb significantly. The track currently is banked to mid track where it flattens off and becomes unusable really hence the one line track. I think the intended changes will lead to a much improved track maybe like Redcar style banking

The centre green is being lowered by 600mm with new drainage and the inside of the track lowered by the same amount to give much better banking. obviously the majority of the track will be removed to allow for a much lower sub base and then a new shale surface will go in replacing the awful clay surface. spedeworth are demolishing the existing home straight stand and replacing it with a three tier building right up to the first bend. At a cost of £1.75 million. There will be a tunnel through the stand to enter the track. new pits area as current ones will be in the way of the new lengthened stand. But like you say minimal track changes. 😆

Brilliant news.

Brilliant news.

IMO championship on a Saturday evening would be perfect. I went to Mildenhall on Saturday and saw some great racing in the Nora set up but once a season is enough for me as it’s generally the same 12 riders every meeting with a different race jacket the following week. if it was full of young up and coming talent I’d feel differently but it’s often riders who have been reserves at ndl level for years

It’s a no from me

Play offs are not included in the averages for that very reason

Most riders are blissfully unaware of the score during the meeting. But are fully aware of their own scoring.

Whilst Danny had his poorest meeting of the season it’s well worth remembering that his scores ALL season have got us into the playoffs

Here is a fine example of why Poole are so disliked with comments like this.
