I'm glad you don't set the rules. You really think that if a 19-tear-old Rising Star hits a 10.5 average and wins the British Final, he should be allowed to start the following season still as a Rising Star, at reserve, with his 10.5 average not counting in the team building average?

Michael Lee was a 10.5 average, British Champion and King's Lynn No.1 at age 19. You're want someone like that in the No.7 Rising Star berth ?

Which stand alone clubs like Buxton are you referring to? Mildenhall and Iwade haven't entered the NDL since 2023 Isle of Wight, Stoke and Cradley not since 2019. (2 of those are now defunct). So who are the "stand alone clubs like Buxton"?

There's already a company charged with marketing the sport, bringing in sponsors, and negotiating a tv deal. It involves Phil Morris, Harry Redknapp and Sir Philip Davies.... Speedway Futures Ltd Would be interesting to know how it's going. Wouldn't have thought it needs another group getting in the way.

That's the same as he said.

I reckon this is very close. I expect Leicester to be Ryan Douglas Max Fricke Dan Thompson Nick Morris Drew Kemp Luke Harrison Freddy Hodder RS

You are correct. It was Rye House in 1988 who brought foreigners Peter Schroeck and Jens Rasmussen into the second division. A massive disaster for British Speedway from which it has never recovered.

Points limit 37. (can't imagine any change with the weakening of the no.6 spot) British rising star at No.7 same as last year, but now has to be under 21. No.6 has to be under 21 too, but can be any nationality.

Except that line-up is well over the points limit, and in that line-up Killeen would be reserve, and he's now turned 21.

Fricke is a GP rider. Seems pretty obvious that is who the opening post is alluding to. No brainer for Fricke to be back at Leicester

I hope, before they closed his coffin, they stuffed his mouth with garlic and drove a stake through his heart (or where his heart should have been). Anyway, if the grieving bride-of-Dracula, Mrs O, is liquidating things, is this the time for the BSPL to get together and buy Swindon stadium?

Has she been to Speedway before?

No. It's just that I can read. Anyway, I don't want to mock the afflicted, so I'll just leave you there.

So is Richard Coleman a bankrupt? Is this why Ipswich Speedway is apparently owned by an "Anoushka Coleman"? (presumably his wife or a close relation)

Not convinced he could read at all.

Since it was obviously a typo, it clearly wasn't true. Think that makes you a massive "bell-end" to quote your childlike vocabulary.

Imagine getting this angry about a typo

It is bent. Jepsen Jensen is knocked out in the first qualifying round. Pawelczak is through to the sprint race final. Yet both Pawelczak's times were slower than Jepsen Jensen's time.

It can't be. Oasis are at the Etihad on 12 June, so they wouldn't be allowed to stage another event that close. It's only a mile away.

Heard that Coleman is looking for a non-league football stadium that has a decent capacity where he can lay a track around the pitch. So the 2027 Manchester Grand Prix will be at the Etihad Stadium.

I'm sure the 2027 British GP at Foxhall will be a thrill an hour.

Belle Vue may have finished 14 points ahead of the Witches in the league table, but that counts for nothing in the play-offs. No one has won the title from top of the table since Peterborough in 2021. Kurtz and Blodorn have the Polish playoffs on their mind. Kurtz and Doyle have the final GP on their minds. No Ipswich riders have any other distractions. Ipswich have been to second-placed Leicester and turned them over at home to make the playoffs, so they can up their game when needed. I wouldn't be writing them off. A 12-14 point win tonight and it could be game on for the second leg.

Could literally see the moment Laguta's bottle went there.

Seems strange that it has been rearranged for next Wednesday. Will this be after the cut-off?

Must admit, I was thinking the same thing. Who exactly is being petitioned here? There's no government department blocking a return of the sport. There's no council who needs to be pushed to grant additional planning permission. All that is needed is a promoter to come along and pay the rent money to Spedeworth, and away we go. OK it may not be easy to find rich promoter willing to put up the rent money and operational costs, but we're certaiinly not going to be able to petition the government to pay the rent for us!
