So that’s two hands up for Bradford but as it’s never going to happen for all the reasons covered on here it’s not really an issue.

Hands up who would rather have a day and possibly a night in Cardiff than Bradford ?

So not the best 16 riders in the division more of a diluted individual meeting.

What are the illegibility rules for this meeting ? So many from each club ? As I’m wondering how a teams number 6 gets to qualify for such a meeting ?

So far we have had 21 HOME meetings and we still have two individual meetings and a cup final to run and we hope for more !

and what do clubs do for the other half of the season ? My local club pays rent for 12 months so 15 fixtures isn’t going to cover it !

Doesn’t meet ANY speedway specs at present.

Try 10 years and a different council and they didn’t find the land either.

You are, Buster took it over when Helmsley capitulated but you may have missed it as the deals were done quite quickly.

Not exactly unusual for one club to say one thing and the other club something completely different. Those of us that know the truth will not worry about what has been said as there was a similar issue with a midland club over a track surface , it’s basically club propaganda and I doubt anyone will justify it with any comment at all.

As most tracks don’t have a ‘track doctor’ only a hired in paramedic and probably a different one every week , I don’t see that working with any consistency.

Standard procedure is 7 tyres issued to each team prior to the start of the meeting , tyres which are checked by the referee from an official batch from the BSPL stock ( a garage proprietary in Lincolnshire ) and distributed at random to each rider to be fitted at the track. Riders will have a used tyre on their second bike which can only be used, when checked and authorised, in an emergency situation.

Because the meeting was abandoned perhaps? Once it is declared ‘closed’ by the official no further official racing can proceed.

Get your facts right, it was Redcar who made him go to the hospital on Saturday in Redcar !

With two of the best trackmen in the UK present, Jonathan Swales and Terry ‘ the track ‘ , I think we can safely say they knew what they were doing.

“ Ridiculous choice” ? Not by choice at all, believe me they tried to get a guest but no one would do it. See Skunny team at Berwick for an example.

You should never post on meetings being called off….but you do.

Katie Gordon has been riding in the NJL at Redcar for the last two seasons is very competent and improving , possibly the only female riding on a regular basis. Rachael Holliwell didn’t compete at the IOW and only appears on track now and again but was of a similar standard a while back. The rest of the field are an unknown quantity as their names rarely appear at anywhere other than the IOW it seems, perhaps at Iwade ? There’s certainly not enough to make a stand alone meeting of them hence the idea of fielding them in amongst the BYC meetings.

Try reading a dictionary.

You don’t seem to know much about how this works do you ? Riders travel long distances, refs travel long distances, some fans travel long distances. What’s the issue calling a meeting off 24 hours in advance if it is clearly obvious it has no chance of taking place ?

Very common in riders these days it seems.

That’s the reason Buster sold it on quickly to the Bates, he wanted to run stock cars but was told that would never be allowed so moved it on .

Perhaps, but just because it’s ‘ declared ‘ doesn’t mean it’s accurate, this is speedway after all.
