Great news. Would love to have been there for the first meeting, but not possible. Will be there in the coming weeks.

After that, I'm certain you don't know what development means!

Didn't take long for the retired Trigger to re-retire. Middlesbrough have moved to replace him with the upcoming youngster Jade Mudgeway. Can't knock Middlesbrough too much. I doubt very much that they are one of the "win at all costs" teams who pushed the points limit up to a ludicrously high and unsustainable 42. They've just got sucked into it, as the NDL slowly moprhs into the National Veterans League.

Lawson did score 6... but 4 of those points came from beating his team-mate. (Nicholls 3 times, Edwards once). In reality he scored 2 points. One from one of his 2 meetings with Kildemand, and one from beating the 16-year-old RS. Surely having Brennan and King paired together was a waste of the two best riders, when they both could have been winning races separately.

I can see a fairly comfortable home win. 54-36 Ipswich missing Doyle and Sayfutdinov is a hugely different team. Brennan, Musielak, King and Lawson can all perform OK at the N.S.S., but they will all need to be on form togerher. Hellstrom-Bangs could be a big scorer at reserve. He really wanted to be riding for Belle Vue ahead of any other British club, so tonight is his chance to show them they were wrong when he was begging them for a team place.

Who is Jaimon Lidsey going to talk to in the pits? The rest of the top 5 have a combined age of 160.

All you posted is these broken links

Not sure what effort is in 3 broken links that lead nowhere!

Based on this, I'm not holding out a lot of hope!

Good to see some new riders coming through. I hear Cairnds is quite useful too.

There's no such licenced rider called "Bewdley"

Credit to Belle Vue. A couple of last minute drop-outs due to injury and personal problems, but they've replaced them with decent quality Premiership riders, and not just stuck the reserves in.

Next Sunday? Before the season starts the following week

Great News. Obviously the war is a long way from being won, but it's a battle won. Who is this Stev Park D***head? What is his agenda? If he was on the supposed save Swindon bandwagon with Terry Russell, why has he suddenly swapped sides?

Good luck to all at Swindon. Planning meeting just started (6pm) but Blunsdon is item 8 on the agenda, so a while to wait

I saw him at Scunny at weekend. I tried to take a photo, but my phone was stuck on zoom and I only got his arm

Going twos up on Agnetha does have a bit more appeal than with Charles Wright.

He didn't mention police. If there had been CCTV to alert everyone on night one of the vandalism, it might have been possible to have some dubious lads with iron bars on standby for day 2 to avoid a repeat. I know of 2 tracks in the past where this has been an effective solution.

Who says they haven't?

Phillip Hellstrom-Bans

I would imagine most stadium leases would be a full repairing and insuring lease. If the damage was done over 2 nights, it's a shame no one knew after the first night.

Obviously, there have been problems to overcome, and it's taken longer than hoped for to bring Northampton online. But yesterday we got the news that Northampton are running. Today we got their fixture list. And in the coming days we'll know the promoter, team manager and the riders. We have positive news coming out, and still people are moaning? Unbelievable.

Track looks a bit long and tight, so might need some gating tarts, but wait until Bartosz signs up and lets loose on there! Facilities look decent. OK, the grandstand isn't covered, but it looks good.

Mikkel Bech Jensen?

Matt Ford spoke at the Coventry Stadium appeal. Brandon Estates brought in the odious Clarke Osborne to say that Speedway was dead and no one would want to promote speedway at Brandon if it was restored to former glories. Matt Ford spoke in opposition to say he ran a successful promotion at Poole, he knows Coventry is viable, and he would be interested in promoting Coventry. Whether his remit was just to testify that speedway is viable, and Coventry would be viable, or whether he is actually seriously interested in Coventry, probably only he knows. However he's not involved in Northampton.
