Oh do not get me started with those people. A few times I have had people come up asking what have I seen and it seems to turn into a game of trumps as they start going off a long list of birds!

Yeah I doubt that will be on this year though the programme is on a little later in the year but they would of been doing the filming for bits now. Brandon Nature Reserve is shut but if you are a member like you can still go in through the members gate with the code. Middleton Lakes is still open but that one you can gain access via the canal and a couple of different routes and you usually see people walking dogs and jogging round there so that one should be ok.

The local nature reserve sites have shut the visitor centres but the sites are still open for people as they are big sites so people will not be clumped together and also people go there to walk and get exercise.

Grachan this is exactly what we have all been saying where I work as before Christmas I camedown with a mild flu and everyone else had the same thing and it came on very suddenly and after it went it did take a little to fully shake off (cough and sneezes and bad head) We all think the same that maybe that was possibly this virus and it came over earlier than they have been saying and possibly did not say anything at the time as they thought it was just a winter flu that we get most years.

What a total shock just saw this thread thought it must be a mistake or something! Saw him ride many times at Mildenhall. Great rider but also a brilliant chap off the bike will be greatly missed RIP Danny

Roynon might be another name in the hat and remember last time Bees were at Leicester Kenneth Hansen came over just to ride and show his support

Good to see the Bees back on track at Leicester on 11th April. I am sure there will be a large Coventry crowd to roar the lads on and be good see the team back on track albeit for one afternoon. Be good see Cov maybe do some more challenge fixtures when dates and riders are available to keep the name out there and show BE that there is support for the club and sport http://www.savecoventryspeedway.com/news.php?extend.4176

Drove past Brandon today and still get to see speedway at other tracks but miss my Friday night there

Good luck with finding a new home, be great to see Reading, Oxford and Swindon doing battle again

I like to say I am surprised with this but with the BSPA nothing surprises me. Just echo comments above really, crazy a league that is struggling for numbers and should be welcoming clubs have blocked this. If anything having sides like Reading in the league can only be positive for the club as they have the name out there and also if they get good crowds it gives the team weight about trying to find their own track nearer home.

Good looking side this year for the Tigers will prob make a few journeys over there again

Reading the article they are looking at possibly spliting the league into a north/south. Guess this will depend on numbers but it says a few teams are interested in a second team. Hopefully the 3 clubs will not be lost as we need to keep and get more tracks than mothball them.

I think I heard from somewhere it is a Scottish side. Hopefully if the news is good in the new year we will see Oxford again on track. Yorkshire has gone quiet not sure what the latest is with that?

Hope for positive news on the 16th I see Newcastle are confirmed next season in the CL so wonder if they will still let Plymouth in or if they will stay in the NL?

Saw in this weeks SS Godfrey said there was interest from some clubs at the AGM who like to participate so might see some clubs run a NL side possibly?

I remember little while ago in the SS there was talk of Weymouth possibly coming back and looking at sites to return but has gone quiet

Sent off my subscription last week, this morning received copy of Backtrack and Classic Speedway cannot wait to read it later

Yeah hope decision will be made early as looking to come over for this one.

What time do the gates open? Looking to make the trek up to this one after being at Scunny on Friday to make it a weekend of speedway

Hi, not sure if anyone can help but I remember seeing a website where someone made models of speedway bikes and did them in team colours and also individual riders but I cannot remember the site. I have had a little google but could not see anything?

I can only repeat what was said on previous posts about the meeting yesterday. Was a little unsure on the drive over as went through some showers and thought will it be on or only see a couple of races before the rain comes but apart from a little shower halfway through seemed to dodge the worse of the weather. Racing was excellent and only been to a few Panthers fixtures the last few years but can say that was one of the best with a great track, good atmosphere with a good sized crowd there. I was not sure if the meeting went through without any tractors as they were worried about the weather so wanted to rush it through but yes it was great to see no breaks after every 3-4 heats for the tractor racing. Good to see at the end of the meeting as well on the riders still getting off the truck and going down to meet the people who stop and shake hands, have photo, autographs with the fans. I would of said one down side was getting out the carpark afterwards but to be fair for the amount of cars it did not seem to bad to get out compared to some other tracks I have been too.

Just watching the Indy 500 and showed you an air shot and looks like there is a speedway/dirt track on the inside of the oval.

Thanks bigcatdiary

What time do the gates open? looking to get down for this one hope for good close one and hopefully weather be good for a good turnout for local derby

Like Ghostwalker has said why are wildcards given to ex-GP riders?? Surely the place would be better given to the hosting countries top under 21 rider or next buzzing youngster so that way keeping an eye on the future and the next potential talent that could be in the series proper
