Poole must do one or all of the following 1- pay there riders on time 2- pay above the average going rate 3- organise good sponsors 4- provide overnight accommodation 5 - provide storage for riders machinery My thoughts are all of them as I can’t see there 2023 captain travelling over 250 miles or at least 5 1/2 hrs from his home in Lincolnshire for a home fixture

Track rat is a complete Bell ???

You’ve missed a team out as there is 9 teams in this year’s championship

Roynan will fit I think

What is left average wise for the last coupe of riders please

My earlier post is not a gripe about cost it’s what I pay to get to a meeting of a Sport I love and will continue to attend as many times as I can . As all I’m hearing how dear the entrance is to this seasons fixtures at all Tracks Just look at inflation everywhere Speedway promoters have to put prices up it’s a simple fact

Hull based and a Scunthorpe regular , so my outgoings for 2023 will be Humber bridge £3 ,diesel approx £6 , pint approx £4 , entrance and programme £20 so Approx in monetary terms £33 for 15 minutes of entertainment?? So approx £33 per home meeting , is it good value possibly not . But if we don’t attend we will lose it and I’ve seen Hull close in 2005 after a successful 2004 season sadly . Put the rising costs on all hobbies, will I be at the EW Raceway in 2023 too right I will and I hope many others will as well .Support your local track

I’m sure if the power’s that be behind the scenes at Leicester could do it all again and start afresh I’m sure Beaumont Park would be totally different ,it’s a shame as there fairly well supported. For me it needs some banking on the bends

It could also cause problems if one of them gate as the top riders generally leave a racing line Open for an opponent

Very true but I’m sure there is a lot of teams who give into to riders demands hoping it will turn there season around

You will find Poole fans do takeover a thread

My pal is hoping for Plymouth on Tuesday and Poole on Wednesday for Scunny Scorpion’s

Bit off track but when are the fixtures for 2023 likely to be out thanks in advance

Not a chance of racing in Newcastle again and if they were consortium’s mooting ideas of running again then all well and good keeping news coming . But my daughter lives in your great city not for from Byker we’re the Dog track is based she is in Heaton and there is no interest locally for the speedway to return ???? That Is My Point

Riders can only be paid the set points limit Money which has been agreed but there is nothing stopping sponsors to leave a little sweetener inside the riders helmet

From been a small lad of 5 or 6 been taken to the Boulevard by my Dad to watch the Hull Vikings and the smell of methanol ,I was instantly hooked . Back then I wanted crashes and spills . Fast forward 50 yrs and sadly losing my Dad in March this year I’m still going to my local track which is now Scunthorpe and follow them up and down the country this season. the last two meetings away to Redcar and then onto Berwick 24 hrs later as a single driver because it’s a sport I love and if we don’t support it we will lose it . Look at the uncertainty at Mildenhall now. we might lose another great club . When I worked in London approx 5 yrs ago I visited Swindon , Ipswich ,Rye House and Poole from my London Digs , Look at that small list and we have lost 50 % of them teams so what I’m trying to say is it’s fine been a supporter on a forum but if we don’t get numbers up we will lose Speedway on mass . I’m not a lover of individual meetings but love the team aspect of Speedway so let’s not knock our sport and get to your local tracks more regularly

Can’t work out your dislike for our Captain that’s all , I admire any rider that cocks his leg over on a bike for my entertainment

What is your problem with Simon Lambert and do you go regular to the Eddie wright Raceway ???

Didn’t know if he would have his average reassessed with him been out nearly all season

Is Eddie Kennet back and fit yet

Can someone on the forum explain how Newcastle have a section within the Championship section of the forum when they are no longer in the championship and don’t look like they will ever return to Team racing as they have no home and don’t look likely to return any time soon .it’s sad for Diamonds fans after the last few yrs and the debacle they have witnessed at Brough Park ,really wish them well in the search for a home venue but think there will be no more Speedway on Tyneside So please in the championship let’s have the sides that are competing in it on the championship forum section

It was rumoured it was going to be 38 pts

Oxford I guess

Ace is going to be a quality rider Good luck young man

He helped the Scorpions out in there last fixture of the season at Berwick when no riders would guest as it was bank holiday weekend . Raced in the no 5 jacket and scored a decent 6 plus 1 on the night . He has a good attitude and a very good 2nd string to start the season . Will be made welcome at the EWR really hope it is Connor Mountain
