I could easily live there.

For all my sins i am an Arsenal fan, and have a few mates with season tickets so I can go pretty much as often as I like. I dont care what the stats say, I ve been to the Emirates and there has been maybe 10,000 empty seats on more then one occasion. In fact in my last 3 visits it's only been the littlebaway section in the corner totally packed. I think they must count season ticket holders regardless of whether they attend or not as that seat isn't for general sale.

That's a pound less then Kent in the NL last season!

I d completley ruled him out in my mind, but now with only 12 NL fixtures and no filler matches. Another season at Kent may just fit the bill nicely for Drew.

Gutted he is not at Kent, but my honest assessment of Nathan is that he is the best natural talent on a bike since Tai Woffinden. So it would be an utter waste of talent for him to leave the sport, so I am very glad to see him riding. Once his belief matches his talent the sky is the limit imho.

On the travelling front (not sure kent have confirmed night for NL racing yet) but potentially with sensible fixture planning you could do Kent weds, IOW thurs Plymouth friday and maybe even Leicester on the Saturday (although I d try get BV on a friday, leicester on the sat, and Mildenhall on the sunday. Can cover all 6 away fixtures in two weekends away, tough on man and machines but also potentially saving a fortune on fuel Bill's, and probably get some travelling fans taking in a southern tour.

With teams announcing riders, will we fans get any presents this festive period at kent. Can see Mulford, Jenkins, Spooner, Clouting all getting berths, I imagine the Gilkes family would like Dan to continue at national league level too. Ablitt,Couzins and Laker must be in the mix for the 2nd reserve spot. Leaving us high 9s for a number 1. Flint is free and fits the bill perfectly if he fancies a bit of travelling. Ben Morley is the obvious number 1 but I think he is almost certain to stay a warrior.

Wrong section

Train tickets all confirmed as far as berlin, with over night stays there weds and sunday. Cant book the polish trains till 90 or 60 days before. Biggest worry now is my partner is due to give birth on the 29th April, so any delays there and there may be at least 1 empty seat in the Arena.

Literally all the info you mentioned is in the article link you ve quoted.

There is a tribute to him in the main stand under the commentary box. Very sad day for the sport. They removed the rope and wire inner fence a few years back, although dont recall seeing any car make it onto the pitch after its removal.

I believe the fencing down the straights has now been removed, it's just massive tractor tyres protecting the pitch.

Request sent

Whilst I doubt very much you would ever see cars at the NSS, it not totallyvimposible as cars race around the football pitch at Cowdenbeath FC.

I do think after showing some promise in Poland during one of the last world cups, if he had not had that bad leg break, Stevie Worrall would of got a polish slot and be knocking on the door at international level.

Bad times for motorsport on the midlands with Birmingham Wheels being shut down on 31st January. The council set up charity owe, the council 600k, after the council imposed retrospective rent increases on it's own charity!!!! All the various motorsports and experience days are all paid up to date on thier rent etc and are all going to be homeless. There is some stipulation that if the businesses were viable (which they all are), then the council are obliged to find them an alternative site. In the unlikely event that this ever happened, I wonder if getting the speedway included into the new complex would be better logistically for the Brummies. As I say I am pretty sure I ve got more chance of a Nigerian prince phoning me about a lottery win then a new venue being found. But hey pipe dreams do happen some times.

I believe it's the season where he could kick on a bit in europe and I wonder if he will finish the season in the championship if regular Polish rides start to appear. We need a few more to make that extra step to start getting a few potential Tai woffindens up to speed Think Ellis is the most likely gp rider in line behind Lambert and Bewley. Then we have a cluster of teenagers whom if they progress at current rate are hopefully 2-3:years off making the jump too. If Ellis does do the full season, I d be surprised to see him top the averages in the league.

It's a stronger team then they may have had just a couple of weeks ago. If riders dont perform they ll be replaced anyway. With 6 sides making the play offs any side going unbeaten at home will qualify regardless of away results unless they are very unlucky. Never like to see teams written off before a wheel is turned, it's not the strongest team on paper, but nothing is ever won on paper in speedway.

Brooks has posted on facebook saying he Hope's to get a club next year as he is not in Mildenhalls 7

Theres also been sittingbourne and iwade crusaders back in the old conference days.

That was a suggestion being considered i understand. For me the National League side should stay as the kings and the championship side given a new name. I like stats and my records will quickly become a mess otherwise..... lol

I think they will be nearly unbeatable at home with that team tbh. Especially if the reserves get dialled in during pre season practice.

Every time I saw him in the last 2 seasons he has been mega impressive, and his scores at both levels (less soon the road in the cl) have been good. Certainly would be a massive loss to the sport if he drifted away. If he wants to ride in 2020 I am convinced there is clubs at both levels that would snap him up. He is one of those riders that with the right financial backing and a sports psychologist type person looking after him off track he has the natural ability to rise to the very top. I think your probably right in the fact that there are many people who would love him in the kent team, so he is very much marmite on that front. Tbf up until a season ago he was very much on my wish list before his average crept up so far. I hope all the National League side at Kent are familiar faces, with the vastly reduced schedule it may be possible to attract a Jack Thomas type rider who may not of wanted a national league team spot with 20 odd fixtures. I like the idea of the riders left without a club entering a pool of riders available to guest, so riders arent completley frozen out like in previous seasons.

Well the Peta spokeswoman did her research. "The stadium should open but only for the car racing"...... Someone has googled speedway and got a picture of Nascar come up I reckon....

Wheres that from mate, the speedwaygb site?
