  1. Do you have any evidence of PM actually doing something along the lines you are insinuating or are you taking the opinion of others and trying to turn them into being factual?
  2. Yes. Leicester. One of the lesser well kept secrets of the close season.
  3. Correction. Only change from last years team will be R Lawson out & K Howarth in. Play off possibility good, beyond that??
  4. Will be no surprise if Lions 2025 feature two current GP riders at 1 & 5 and all riders being based in the UK.
  5. The connection with Vaculik with Leicester was via Simon Stead. So if Vaculik ever did return to UK speedway it would be more than probable as a Tiger rather than a Lion.
  6. Admittedly my involvement with motorbike engines has been largely with MotoGP power units where electrics and tyre development is way ahead (and necessary) of speedway units although the basic engineering concept still applies to both, namely, torque is required to get the bike moving and revs (horse power) needed to maintain the delivery of power. Speedway engine builders will be aware of this and will always be faced with juggling to balance these two factors which are not mutually exclusive to one another & hence engines can be built/adjusted to varying degrees of torque & HP for different types of track/circuit The lower center of gravity of the lay down machines v the uprights would them easier to lean over and create an easier break of the tyre/surface and thus turn quickly if and when required although most probably no easier to race on over four laps - just different.
  7. Risky & expensive to rely on a top 3 who all are based abroad.
  8. Yes from a distance. But in a closed space it rips your eyes out😭
  9. It would be a surprise if PCC do not have a protocol in place for a councillor call-in on planning decisions as this is a standard protocol for all local government and a step in the appeal process up to Secretary of State for planning disputes.
  10. They will of course still be trading, but with a receiver running the business with the plan to find a buyer or at least raise cash from selling stock in order to settle with creditors. Lowest running cost will be the order of the day so staff redundancies and reduced marketing first in line of fire.
  11. Rolf Gramstad. Lovely lad who’s career was cut short by a fellow rider losing control of a practice start & crashing into the back (literally) of Rolf.
  12. Unless anyone knows better Halifax no / stands built on the bends Bradford, yes and stock have run there but questions exist re closeness of some structures for speedway.
  13. Improving bends 3&4 with appropriate banking would appear the most obvious given any adjustment to the curb would involve additional work on the drainage system.
