  1. No idea. Just seemed to me they spent big and went poof!
  2. Yep - if it's Mayfield then it has comparisons to Reading and Posselthwaite, look how that ended up.
  3. Whoever it is I hope their salary is not big ๐Ÿ™‚
  4. Common sense maybe. There haven't been any serious accidents at Foxhall in recent years where the air fence has been a detrimental factor, not to my knowledge anyway.
  5. Why, appeared to be nothing wrong with it?
  6. Running an event and getting engagement is what it's about and speedway could learn a lot from those types of events, although being indoors is an advantage. Arena cross as a spectacle is not for me though, all those jumps I find boring.
  7. Team managers will be ordered to attire themselves in BSPL blazers once again?
  8. Who is Terry Tibbs, apart from being in a speedway limerick with Andy Hibbs?
  9. It doesn't matter yet. No fixtures, no tickets can be purchased, relax.
  10. Take a chill pill. There's no way Ipswich won't be holding speedway in 2026, see you at the first fixture๐Ÿ™‚. The last thing the sport needs is vultures circling whilst not paying any money to support it ๐Ÿ™‚
  11. Exactly, no reason he couldn't be clear on that, that's what Sheffield had said before their investors turned up...and then left.
  12. But he could have been more re-assuring over the period since he said it was up for sale as it was still possible there'd be no speedway at Foxhall in 2026, which is what was concerning for many.
  13. They're good but you can't go wrong with Tetley I find, the bonus being they can be had with less coin.
  14. 100% agree on this and it's about following others. Someone will get a new tuner or designer part and win a couple of races and then the sheep follow. There are so many examples of this: tall seats, magura-type levers, expensive clutch plates, front forks, tubeless tyres, ignitions and then engine parts or short stroke engines which someone says gives an additional 1 hp which they then have to deal with as the bike 'spins up' on the track. Then there's rider things like dangling the right leg ("it worked for Zmarzlik so that must be why he's multi world champion") rather than sitting further back or getting a longer seat, dropping the clutch repeatedly on the start line (which makes absolutely no difference to their start) and lots of others.
