It's only a couple of minutes to the previous stop, walk there to beat the queues.

Dry but rainfall radar suggests the heavy rain I drove through to get here may arrive soon. Tou h and go I'd say

You'll never get planing permission without a traffic management plan - so ultimately it is.

So no Craig Cook! https://www.leicesterspeedway.com/News/Details/5709

Henning Loof rode several times last season on the Island and Iwade

Well I suppose one former Yugoslavian Republic looks much like another ... 😜

His best three performances last year were at Workington, Redcar and Glasgow - all tracks with reputations for good racing - so is KL the right place for him?

Last year it was top 4 from previous year (+ hosts) seeded, so on that basis GB and Finland should also be seeded. While the presence of Croatia is bonkers the lack of a host pair is equally bizarre.

For a contrary view I usually turn first to the Foreign Newsdesk - all the contributors do a great job and I'd happily see them given more space. I agree with you that it's rare to find a rider interview that is genuinely illuminating and that given the circumstances the Star does well to keep going.

'Colin Ackroyd'! Is a loan to a Speedway promotion within the terms of the charity's aims and objectives as stated in the governing document?

Not the case. As this report shows the casino operators were tired of CO prevarication and simply found another site. https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/13396818.speedway-plans-collapse/

2.30pm would be better - just that little extra time to get to Berwick

Have sent 2004 (not 05 as previously posted)

I have 2005 and can send you them

There fixed it

A contestant on 'Britain's Biggest Fraudster'

Certainly a factor, although that may be more of the reason bookies were not rushing to get involved. I think historically it is more to do with the 'gentleman's club' environment of speedway's administrators [The ACU was set up by the Royal Automobile Club to administer motorcycle sports]. There were a series of unlicensed meetings at Lea Bridge in 1932 where betting was allowed but it didn't catch on. See: https://www.speedwayresearcher.org.uk/leabridge.html

We've had on course betting at Oxford Speedway (at the Championship Pairs). Don't think it wax a great sucess as they don't seem to have returned. I think the betting industry's problem with Speedway is they don't like events that can be easily fixed.

Looked brilliant as an under 19 rider [6th in world under 21 aged 18 in 2021], but hasn't progressed as fast as some of his contemporaries (Pollestad, Parnitsky). Not Oxfords first Latvian - anyone remember Kjasts Puodzouks?

Not unless 10.2.2 is rewritten. Otherwise is absolutely certain he will be 8.00 "Any rider who has been a GP rider for two consecutive seasons within the last five" => 8.00.

Gb speedway shows 3.64 home and 4.62 away. [Prem all matches 2024]

Also people tend to judge riders on their home average [it is where people see them most] and MPT's away average was a point higher than his home average last season.

Assuming Kildemand is 6.00 [the inference to be drawn from the Berwick announcement], then 7.40.

I'd expect MJJ to average more than Zagar. Firstly because MJJ was in excellent form last year, but also because Zagar only rode one meeting last season.
