He was at one of the 2018 SDL matches at Eastbourne and admitted it was his first speedway meeting since 2008. He goes to a lot of indy rock concerts these days.

The Jan Graversen paradox! After his track record was retimed on DVD it was removed from the Leicester programme

They are actively looking. There have been a few positive noises, but of course that is a long way from actually opening a new track.

Look at British touring teams in Australia. Often labelled England, despite featuring Ken McKinlay and in some series the label changed from test match to test match. So they were described as British Lions in tests 1,2,5 & 7, English Lions in tests 4 & 6 and England in test 3.

But he was never Russian, just as Jimmy McMillan was never English

It's the equivalent of the British Youth championships. Last years result: https://www.speedwaybikes.com/res2019_w/Industry-20190811.htm Note a certain Mr Hancock among the riders.

So you are proposing a Premier League of three teams then? That will work great!

Thorssell has not improved over the last four seasons if you look at his Swedish average in the Elitserien: 2016: 1.611 ( per ride = 6.44 CMA) 2017: 1.438 2018: 1.270 2019: 1.396 Taken together the two sets of figures strongly suggest a rider who has plateaued

I do hope the Thompson's do well, but realistically they were nowhere as good as Flint was in the previous season's NL as a 15 year old, and he averaged 3.42 this season for Berwick and was generally thought to have done well.

Too soon to say, but unlikely to be any changes until 2021 at the earliest. If Priti Patel is to be believed then it is likely only a handful of top foreigners would be allowed in. But it is quite possible that Boris may trim to the centre and any restrictions will be fairly modest. Either way I wouldn't rate the chances of riders like Jakob Bukhave and Emil Grondal having much of a future in GB.

Their championship, their rules. Past champions include: Jack Milne Jack Parker Ken McKinlay Mike Broadbank Ole Olsen

Marcus Birkemose? Jonas Jeppesen? (using a slightly stretched definition of 'new')

Almost certainly yes. There are very few 17 year olds ready for the PL. You only have to look at the Edinburgh thread where there is much discussion over Lasse Fredriksen.

Yes he was part of Buxton's title winning team (along with Charles Wright, Jason Garrity and Craig Cook)

Work permits are dependent on top five placing in American Championship. Gino was third but Fox only rode in one round

I doubt Fox would get a work permit

And how many teams had a better number one that Max Fricke last year? Just Swindon.

Hugh Skidmore Krzystof Wankowski

I have 3/9 prog - also filled in with 'Nott'm did not arrive'. Meeting was rescheduled as part of 15 Oct meeting (v Halifax) - - but this one was fogged off after the main match. The next attempt was on 21 Oct following Racers v Swindon. My prog doesn't have 2nd half filled in, but given the 13-3 score it probably went ahead that day. Line-ups per prog: Rivets:Monk, Allaway, Campbell Outlaws: Colin Archer, Rick Jones, Mike Fitzpatrick

18.6.1 in 2019 regulations. So if it has gone does this not contradict the AGM statement about no tinkering?

I really don't think that is what you meant to say

16.2.6 Any rider who has been or is eligible to compete in the NDL (and has not represented another FMN, other than the ACU) will receive a 2.5% reduction on their MA. Wethers rode in the NL (CL as it was then) for Armadale in 2003-4

Unlikely - he retired two years ago.

So if Newcastle don't run do the Southern teams get two more matches than the Northern ones in the Championship?
