SPEEDY69

No doubt this would've been on, in the 80s, but not these days. "Can you come to play badminton/marbles/tiddlywinks this week?" "What night?" "Thursday." "Oh OK yeah, i used to have speedway that night but it's rarely on these days so I might as well."

Influenced of course by the almost wholly right-wing media. Where's the headlines praising the Government for the massive reduction in immigration and small boats which has been achieved since 2024/5?? How about the progress with the NHS and reduced waiting lists?? No, all we get is Peter Mandleson stood in his pants - as if that had any real impact on people in the UK 🙄

Or worse, Reform voters who believe Nigel Farage!

I quite like the suggestion of awarding one point each and not re-arrange, this would focus minds a bit. It would also mean fixture lists could stay as they are for the season. There would need to be exceptions for playoff meetings and cup meetings where that wouldn't deliver a victor and then if clubs have commitments for x number of meetings they could fill them with other events, like clubs used to hold. I'm not in Ipswich today so can't give the weather picture but it's currently sunny here in Stratford.

That's showers for you! I'm about half a mile as the crow flies to foxhall.

In other news it's dry and sunny here in Ipswich, windy too. Tomorrow looks a little wet, who knows if it was premature yet. Without regular speedway people just don't bother and drift off.

Of course I will. Integrity matters to me, shame it doesn't apply to others.😉 In that post on the Witches site, see who comes last in the consideration "an early decision has been taken to minimise any inconvenience to teams, riders and fans."🙄

Normally dry in October, much better than the monsoon season in late May & June.

Isn't he one of the backroom mob/silent partners at Northampton and would surely have been lobbying for the cancellation😁

I see Sheffield are strengthening for this one, could be close, although the forecast isn't great 😉

It was non-existent in Prague and no merchandise available other than for Czech speedway or Dudek.

Don't they have to pay the FIM to stage the GP, a very tidy sum as well?

It's gonna happen you know, Harris in 2027 GP, you read it here first 😉

Think he was top of the averages in 1980 so 81 must have been a bad year for the 21 year old😁. He's my GOAT.

What do you mean, "what a rift"?? In the 70s of course we had weekly meetings, much better in my view as it kept fans engaged and enabled relationships to be built with your team.
