Works fine for me on PC

I was told last week by a credible source that BT were keen to show British speedway. The suggestion was that it would be a better deal for the sport than what Sky were paying and there could also be a way to get out of the GoSpeed stranglehold. I assumed they were talking about when the current Sky contract ends at the back end of 2018, so I didn't really pursue the conversation further. If it's going to happen sooner it sounds like it might be good news.

Yet if you do an actual comparison of the tracks in operation in 1990 with the tracks in operation today, you will find:- We have lost – Reading, Oxford, Bradford, Cradley Heath, Hackney, Wimbledon, Exeter, Long Eaton, Milton Keynes, and now sadly Coventry…. A total of 10 tracks. But we have gained: Leicester, Somerset, Scunthorpe, Sheffield, Workington, Birmingham, Buxton, Isle of Wight, Kent, Mildenhall and Plymouth…. A total of 11 tracks. So we actually have more stadia staging speedway in 2017 than we did in 1990.

Correct. his average is 8.63, but has he already signed for Belle vue Colts?

You can't type the name of Steve Ribbons promoting partner because he demanded it be blocked out. Howver you can find his name in the link below, which may also give you some idea why he isn't keen on having his name mentioned. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7659150.stm

What's it got to do with Tatum and Vatcher? As long as the Stoke team is built within the rules it's no one's business but Stoke's which riders they use.

Certainly sounds like Buxton have signed Ellis Perks' average rather than the rider. Expect to see him do a meeting or two and then a host of guests will be utilised up to his average. Got to have some sympathy for Buxton, they lose out to others who can pay more, but it does make speedway look a joke.

Looks like good news for you Belle Vue fans that Steve Shovlar is trolling your thread. He only trolls teams he's worried about. Doubt you'll see much of him on the Leicester thread. You haven't named a single rider yet and you've already got him running scared.

Oh dear. Guaranteed wooden spoon
