This doesn't add up. No mention of negotiations with Brandon Estates to make the stadium available to Sandhu to reinstate the fixtures to enable the Bees to return to Brandon during the season ... No incentive for Sandhu to spend the money to reinstate the fixtures at Brandon unless he stands to gain through a resulting deal on planning permission which would then show he has an interest in Brandon Estates, be that personal or through the extended family ... Only other explanation is he gets a deal on another piece of land to build a stadium of his own in the future. As for what Horton gains from this, beyond being able to hold on to a Promoters Licence and the assets he bought from Sandhu, what else is there to be gained? Especially as he could achieve both of the former by taking up promotion rights at somewhere like Leicester Lions anyway ... Don't think the truth will ever be revealed, stay of execution for the Bees of sorts, but for how long, who knows, and at what cost ...

Perhaps Coventry's assets have now reverted to the BSPA and as such Ipswich have priority over any new promotion, or new club, for which Danny signs?

I was led to believe that the stock car dates belong to the promoter and not the track so nothing stopping the stock car promoters from taking the show on the road to protect the dates whilst they look for a suitable location somewhere in the GB to re-establish their own operation at their own track, and thus benefit from the food and drink takings that I am sure add significantly to the gate receipts ... perhaps I'm misinformed though? If not, then the current Stox promoters don't need Brandon so no incentive to spend £000s to reinstate the stadium, plus £000s to maintain the stadium to run stox only. Probably make more by renting stadiums elsewhere and taking gate receipts without any of the overheads for an "idle" stadium ...

Well that about does it for me, just when you thought the sport couldn't get any more ridiculous ... If this is true it really does beggar belief. The people running the sport are running it into the ground and it won't be long now before the sport is dead and buried in the UK as a professional sport. If only the BSPA had been strong enough to grasp the Independent Body in the winter of discontent we might have been moving forwards by now rather that sliding backwards into oblivion, encumbered by a set of rules which are unfathomable and lack any transparency. Nice job ... RIP UK Professional Speedway.

Unless it's in the best interests of the sport of course

Surely the answer is 2 (or 4) guest bookings for Fredrik Lindgren (6.55) for Joonas (6.80) ...

Walasek = 5.96 ... Scott Nicholls = 5.96 ... hmmm

What sort of Internet usage will streaming the matches use up please?

Truely awesome Greg - 2011 World Speedway Champion. A nicer guy in speedway you will not find - thoroughly deserved champion and a great ambassador for the sport. Well done Greg Hancock.

Read the reviews of the new GP app and decided to stick with the snowfunk app - £2.99 for 11 GPs is good value imo Cheers BK

Artem Laguta, Lindback and Lindgren, with Kolodziej and Zetterstrom defeated in a run-off for 3rd place by Lindgren. Cheers BK

Sky+ recorded 280 minutes of action for me so I got to see the whole thing ... No idea why it works for some but not others
