Perhaps I would swop Louis and Ashby, making 1 Simmo, 2 Wilson, 3 Ashby 4 Louis 5 Boocock but there again, on their best day any of those 5 could be no 1

Brilliant stuff.

That looks a good line up.

West Cheshire schools are on hols this week.

Thats nicely balanced - 8 different home teams and 8 different away teams, no favouritism.

To me that looks different to Freddies motor of last year, and it looks more lay down, almost horizontal. Or do I need to make an appointment at Specsaver?

It was 2014 that Batchelor scored the 20 points i the Danish GP, DW accident was in 2015.... so not "several seasons"

maybe that was his breakthrough, but then there was the DW crash which must have affected him badly as it did Holder and no doubt others to a lesser/greater degree. Lets hope he is through the bad patch.

Same rules will apply to other Eu countries as well ie POLAND, GERMANY, SWEDEN, DENMARK, SLOVENIA, CZECH, SLOVAKIA, ITALY Will MotoGP racing be hit as well ie SPAIN It will never happen - do you think all the sports affected, that gross millions for countries, will just cease to be. Complete and utter EU nonsense. Cant believe we still in the EU, should have got out years ago.

Despite what some people on here have said about Gordon/Morton, much of it probably untrue as its yet to be proved, it was that duo, Gordon/Morotn, who said they would model the new NSS track on the best , including Hyde Road and Torun. I was at BV for the 2 World Cup meetings last year but unfortunately not there last night, but from what everyone is raving about BV is a circuit for all stadiums to attain to - wonderful once the nappies are out of the way.

If its not a registered charity then its a business and will have to pay taxes as such surely.

Love it up there.

The coast around Berwick, Lindisfarne etc is really good - wild. If you like castle there is Bamburgh Castle - used in more then a few films, its still standing, open to the public and lived in. About 10 miles south west of Bamburgh is Chillingham castle, again lived in, open to the public. We first went to Chillingham castle about 35 years ago and it was just being revitalised, then about 10 years ago we visited again and it looked brilliant but still being worked on, by now it should be back to how it was originally. If you want a trip arond the farne islands, go to Seahouses/North Sunderland and boats sail from there. Seahouses is nice and quiet place. Probably have a museum in Coldstream (about 8 miles south west of Berwick), probably at Darlington a railway museum, on the way to Scunthorpe you pass by Harrogate, nice spa town with Aunt Bessies tea Room (but expensive). You will be skirting the north Yorks moors as well, Whitby is nice if you can get to it AND of course that is Heartbeat country - Goathland is the village used in the tv series - interesting visit. There is loads to do/see

Belle Vue as a track - I will agree. BV as a stadium - limited capacity, less then 10,000 at a max - the potential crowd is 4 times that. And besides - would UK get a 2nd GP?

All sounds familiar from BV just 12 months ago. Track got a SCB licence just days before, riders tested it just days before, referee inspected it just hours before. Up popped the riders and meeting off. Yes there was a problem (unidentified at the time) at BV, just as was a problem (dampness) at Poole....... but the result was the same. Perhaps its as simple as....its just too cold for the riders in March.

Which night of the World Cup at BV did you attend.??????????? Logic tells me it was not the Saturday night final - the racing that night was superb. The Friday night wasnt so good, shame that as we didnt see the best from Emil and others. Probably only Doyle that like it that night.

Well then, holder such meetings at a time of year when weather is going to be more conducive to watching a 4 hour open air event. Cant think of a time in the past when I was at BV for 4 hours. 4 hours - ridiculous. And as for food, if the catering is provided by the stadium - sack the staff if food is not up to a standard. If its Joe Bloggs Burger Van - get shut and allow another to take its place. Got to keep the customer happy or they dont turn up again - plain business sense.

Well they made a start on Friday night by withdrawing their services............ but you still trying to defend the track.

Seeing is believing, and when you see the racing you will believe it IS the best speedway track in the country. Enjoy, and I hope you get your tickets sorted.

I presume the tickets were numbered. Did you take photocopies before you sent the tickets. Last night was a practice night at BV with free admission to viewing, and someone was at the office kiosk sorting out PC Mem ticket exchange/refunds, so they are doing something about it.

Perhaps it should have been called off before it started, maybe even 24 hour hours ago so people didnt have to travel. Daja Vu 12 months ago.

Sounds a bit similar to BV 2016, within days to the same date. The season is starting too soon, weather is going to be unpredictable. Its a shame, because as like last year, a good quality international field is gathered.

When I was doing cycle speedway in the mid/late 60's it was more like those black/white photos. I do envy thos in the modern era, smart tracks, full safety equipment etc. Thanks for the link gustix.

Looking at another thread re Edward Jancarz memorial trophy, they do a link to various memorial meetings....... followed it and Peter Craven memorial Trphy winners were listed.....see below http://www.speedwaychampions.com/memorial-trophies.php shows Leigh Adams 2008, then Chris Harris 2010

Who is the current holder of the trophy????
