Looked to me that Scunny were missing a team manager, with R/R for Neilsen this should have been planed beforehand, but was used somewhat shambolic!

I would like to see this meeting on (weather permitting) & kick start the Rebels season........... I'm only just getting accustomed to our mainly adopted team. Racing is good but we need larger crowds to create an atmosphere & earn the promotion a quid or 2!

I got on here to have my say, however I will take the easy option & just agree 100% with the Bagpuss!!!!!!!!

One of the many problems with G.B. Speedway these last few years is the supply of decent quality shale. It's my own felling that historical bad debts from various promotions the few Quarrys that have the good shale that tracks need are unwilling to sell it to those "speedway promoters" or just say we've run-out!!!!! What's now needed @ Plymouth is positive thinking all round, get in an experienced track man, magic wheel, decent shale - whatever it takes to sort the problem out. Plymouth is a potential gold mine if everything is in place..............

Great gesture from Tommy, surely the thing to do would put a sensible reserve on all items. Any item not making the reserve then place it on evil-bay............

May be the move is to save on travel cost?

Matt is one of the better "Promoters" however you can be sure what ever league set-up we have - by hook or crook Poole will be one of the top teams! Chopping & changing teams mid term favors the better off teams & adds to cost all round, team changes should not be allowed other than injury or retirement & with full independent approval!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it will never happen of course..

With both teams operating R/R plus 3 guest these are the sort on meetings. that should be rearranged when both teams run with a minimum of 6 of their own riders. Speedway has never been taken seriously by Joe Public, but these days it's the speedway die-hards that are scratching their heads!

I wonder what sort of season we would be having had the fans choice of: Jake Allen, Charles Wright & Bradley Wilson Dean had been included in the 2019 team? They all have carried on improving & scoring plenty of points. There are defiantly some missing faces in the crowd..........

Truth is someone is eating a rather large humble pie!

The current GP system has a bias advantage toward Polish & Polish league riders with "3" GPs based in Poland!!!!! Without that advantage it would take exceptional talent to become a WC today.

Looking @ different times & scenarios, but what I can tell you is that the person who I (& many others) considered the most knowledgeable & intelligent person in speedway rated Jack Young as the greatest rider ever.

It's not just Somerset, the "we must reach the play-off" mentality of all promoters is killing Speedway........... but promoters cannot see it.

Well said, we all know who they are! Good luck to everyone for tomorrow especially "Ben Ten" Barker who's commitment to BRBF is unmatched by any other rider.

Where does Buster get his clay from?

PLAY OFF CONTENDERS Is it only me that I can see no point of the "Play offs" were they not introduced for the benefit of Sky ref. the Elite league? The Championship "Play off" winners won't be getting promoted the following year, so whats the point! I would rather see an end of season K. O. Cup. I've said it before but I think the promoters have taken their eye off the main event, I think we the supporters want weekly entertainment. The Promoters put all their efforts into winning maximum league points by any method with entertainment & good speedway not top of their shopping list......

Lot's of mention on here of the May deals, what about the ones that failed to land the signatures of crowd favorites: Wright, B.W.D or Allen!!!!!!!!!

Mildenhall 2018 fantastic results for such a young team until injuries hit!

Who's paying travel cost? cash strapped rebels!

Alun Rossiter............alright taff!

Jack Millen stands out a mile over all others off & on track..........hard as nails on both.....underrated as a rider.........yet a great bloke taken to early, RIP crazy jack.

With due respect to Simon Lambert, if we're not going for an Aussie I would rather see the likes of Nathan Stoneman or simular young british talent. Build a club asset base.

Maybe we could get a talented Aussie, time to speak to Lemmo?

Great news! the BSPA have started the ball rolling how to get G.B. speedway back on it's feet: Replace the easily recognised Yellow & Black helmet colour with the less obvious solid Yellow.

As I've stated on other replies the PLAY OFFS should be scraped, they served a purpose once for sky, but no longer attract the fans or media they once did. Promoters have taken their eye off the main event, fans want weekly speedway, a team they can relate to & be entertained with good close racing. Little or no guest & a fixture list compiled by someone some credibility............PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
