Good to see 8 rounds over 4 tracks which makes it more realistic as a Championship. They have made the best of a a difficult situation. Son final with no qualifier makes sense under the circumstances. Hope everything works out for the NSS In October

Alan was a great servant to Belle Vue and a brilliant team man. Every successful side needs a Wilky my thoughts are with his family
-
Good news. there has been a long battle which looks more positive now. pleased for Oxford and plaudits to the Council who are backing a Speedway return.... many councils are now quite anti Speedway
-
Do Do you mean trial adjourned or trial date has been moved?
-
Nice to see Buxton is still being used. aiden and les Collins held a Speedway day recently.... they may be doing them regularly... I only know about the recent one. hope Buxton can eventually come back to league racing

Stock cars at kirky lane put money in Perrins pocket but it was the start of the decline of the Speedway track and the stadium as a good venue. Stock cars were supposed to put the track back to normal... but that never happened so the track went through slow deterioration.

Belle Vue have the Colts side which is great. Once COVID is sorted , I would love to see the NSS start to have weekly Training schools under the competent hands of Mark Lemon and also have amateur meetings. Scunthorpe run them and although they only make a smallish profit they are invaluable tools for the progress of British Speedway. As a youngster I used to go to Hyde road where there were Monday training schools in the season and Saturday training schools on Saturdays in the winter.

Pleased to see further developments of the Plymouth site which augurs well for the future. good luck in the future

With a large percentage of supporters at the vulnerable age re COVID, how many will be willing to risk it.... it is a risk

Are YOU missing British Speedway?
Gunner85 replied to Robinh88's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Missing my speedway however I have severe doubts that there will be British Speedway in 2020. i have watched three polish league matches..... very disappointed in the quality of the racing Some good races but nothing to write home about -
The BSPA said the vast majority of promoters want to run meetings.. therefore there must be others with the same concerns as Glasgow. as much as I would like to see Speedway in2020, I do not think it will happen...unless it is behind closed doors with pay per view live streaming... keep it safe
-
Absolutely agree. we have a good management that are striving to move Belle Vue Speedway forward. long may it continue

Will the premiership start on time?
Gunner85 replied to tellboy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Rob Godfrey has already said that Speedway can not afford to run behind closed doors. Even if they allow Speedway to run with it’s comparative low crowds compared to bigger sports there are impossible hurdles.. social distancing... getting in to stadium... what time would you need to open to get everyone in safely social distancing.. using toilets social distancing .. food and drink ...I would imagine not allowed apart from being impractical the sooner we announce that Speedway will hopefully start back in 2021 the better -
Could the season be extended.

The aces last match in 1987 at Hyde road was in fact their last ever match thee -
Just shows how long before we get back to some kind of normality !!
-
Wimbledon tennis cancelled July edinburgh festival normally held for the whole of August.. cancelled schools might reopen in september odds are more likely that no Speedway league in 2020

Will British Speedway Survive ?
Gunner85 replied to old bob at herne bay's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
With the latest announcement, then 1 home and one away looks likely if indeed we get back this year -
Training track Lancashire ????
Gunner85 replied to Eastville Bulldog's topic in Training Tracks / Amateur
Ainsdale sands had a long period of Speedway activity... training up a lot of riders -
I do not understand why schools are not being closed. many school are around 1000 and once someone gets the virus plenty of scope for a massive increase in positive cases apparently some schools have been told to arrange for one month of work for their pupils to complete via the internet....so perhaps closures are not too far off
-
BSPA meeting tomorrow to discuss statement probably due ... how long we wait is another matter
-
Scotland have started the ball rolling.... no crowds over 500 so that is Edinburgh and Glasgow with no home meetings.... decisions should be across the Uk not unilaterally made. however there will be no surprise if we catch up shortly
-
Darren Hartley will make a good team manager.... vast experience in the sport... and definitely infinitely better than Jason Pipe.
