Ipswich v Belle Vue 27th March KOC 2nd leg
hammer1969 replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Yes as you say "don't stuff this one up Ippo", i'm really looking forward to the meeting but probably won't relax until we have 41 points in the bag. We watched the BSN stream from Belle Vue last Monday what a great result with good riding from every rider in the team, especially Dan Thompson who got rider of the night. -
Need a bit of advice please. As we have mobility issues, re standing for long or walking too far, can anyone let me know if there is seating areas in the stadium and any other info that you think might be useful re access, steps etc would be appreciated.

BEN Fund 2025

Anyone know what the weather is like at the track -
Wasn't sure if this is of interest but just in case. For anyone traveling possibly up to Foxhall from the London/Essex areas that from March 10th until mid June there will be various lane closures at Gallows Corner but the main bit is from Mid JUNE until SEPTEMBER Gallows Corner Flyover and the roundabout below it will be completely closed to all traffic apart from emergency vehicles and buses. If your using that route might be best to start looking at best alternatives for your journey.

Cardiff GP 2025 Cancelled
hammer1969 replied to Phil's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I'd booked my Cardiff hotel but luckily on a refundable rate so i've just cancelled and will get my money back. I feel sorry for those who wont get a refund. The date should not have been announced months ago as I reckon many people probably booked the hotels on a non refundable basis due to the prices being cheaper. As much as I love the GP I doubt I'lll risk getting tickets for Manchester, I know some will say it doesn't rain much up there but if it does that could be a whole weekend wiped out. I wonder what the riders think about a double header GP ? -

Parkllife is in July. 11, 12, 16, 19, 20 July - Manchester, Heaton Park -
Preferable to a buy, but what happens if Poole win it, Championship club will be the holders of the Premiership KO Cup, very weird but lots of things are weird about Speedway rules anyway.

Hotel hasn't cottoned on yet then and hiked their prices so better book rooms quickly, refundable of course as we all know what the weather can be like in Manchester -

I could be totally wrong but I'll guess at either Saturday 12th or Saturday 19th July in Manchester as the nearest hotel to the stadium is showing no prices for those dates although they are showing other dates prices for most of next year -
Sheffield vs Ipswich 2024 Cup Final Sept 2nd
hammer1969 replied to ShanoXtra's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The question now is if he comes through their meeting unscathed will Torun let him ride for Ipswich next week, if not I presume that will be a 28 day ban. I'm keeping fingers crossed that Emil gets a say in the decision and we see him in the UK fir the playoffs. -
BIRMINGHAM v IPSWICH Mon 26th August PL

They need to update their TV guide which they keep making mistakes on let's hope the broadcast crew know where to go -
BIRMINGHAM v IPSWICH Mon 26th August PL
hammer1969 replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Because Discovery's TV guide is useless, I've sent them numerous complaints but they still can't get it right. As an example 2nd September Sheffield are at home to Ipswich in the 1st leg of KO cup, this is listed on BSPA, Sheffield and Ipswich fixture lists but Discovery are showing it on their guide as being broadcast from Ipswich wonder where the outside broadcast team will end up? -

Shame someone didn't tell the people who update the Discovery TV guide then, they are useless -
BIRMINGHAM v IPSWICH Mon 26th August PL
hammer1969 replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
And 2nd September, Sheffield, Ipswich and BSPA websites all saying Sheffield v Ipswich in 1st leg of KO cup, Discovery saying Ipswich v Sheffield being shown, that had better not get changed as I've already made my arrangements to be at Ipswich for the 2nd leg on the 5th -
BIRMINGHAM v IPSWICH Mon 26th August PL
hammer1969 replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
And this has pi££ed me off, we considered going to Perry Barr but had a busy weekend so decided to watch on TV instead, if we'd know about the change earlier we'd have gone to PB, Discovery are doing speedway no favours Phil Morris needs to try having a word with them. -
Ipswich vs Sheffield 19/8/24
hammer1969 replied to Fozzie4388's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
As for Discovery, totally useless I had an online chat with them on Sunday and again Monday telling them they were advertising the wrong meeting and today I thought I'd look at the highlights, what highlights you ask, anyway I wanted to listen to the interview with JD and guess what it was still advertised as Leicester v Oxford if Phil Morris is trying his best to promote the sport he needs to have an urgent meeting with Discovery and sort them out first. -
Ipswich vs Sheffield 19/8/24
hammer1969 replied to Fozzie4388's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I've just had an online chat with them, they haven't a clue, after explaining their website is incorrect they apologised and sent me 2 links to tomorrow's meeting, both showing Leicester, ha ha, chat ended with me saying I hope their outside broadcast team know where to go. Then I get a satisfaction survey - they got one star for everything. -

hammer1969 replied to Fozzie4388's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
So does anyone know what is being shown? Leicester website says its not from there, Discovery+ says it is, omg lets hope someone tells the camera crew where to go - what a shambles
