Cannot see this going the distance, hope I’m wrong.

Yes we all know that but we can’t have every meeting at Belle vue

Professional cameras on items not allowed in stadium......professional DSLR ....Nikon D5?

So which clubs want/ need weekend racing, Glasgow, Edinburgh , Berwick, Workington , Newcastle , Scunthorpe , Peterborough, in the Championship Belle vue, Rye House ,maybe Leicester and Somerset all the others in the Premier seem to just get by during the week I think. Do not know about the third division. So it must come down to when the fans want racing and how frequently , will weekly or fortnightly home meetings be adequate . Will one big League work, or will it be two Leagues with one or two from the Championship moving up though this would only be viable if costs were reduced significantly either rider costs/pay or less bigger name riders which would mean no more Doyle, Andersson , Iversen for instance. Not an easy task for anyone/group but some difficult decisions need to be made and this may come at the expense of losing some clubs unfortunately .

Still some availability, found one good hotel for two nights, 3 people at £226.00, some cheaper ones too.

Speedway riders often compared to jockeys, Chris Harris now to Poole.

Speedway lost its credibility many years ago, I go to hopefully see a few good races and a crack.

Play offs …. maybe?

Now approved.

A honest and hard hitting account of the state of British Speedway in the Star this week, will the BSPA listen and act. Will some person or group be enlisted to make concrete decisions for the future of the sport as highlighted in the Speedway Star item, my personal opinion no.

That’s a £1 off so far.

Do you mean Workington, I admire most of what Glasgow have achieved and make many trips up to Glasgow, great set up and good fans, sad to see they are starting to struggle to attract as many fans as needed. Glasgow and Belle vue is what most clubs should be striving for but unfortunately the money is not around to facilitate many clubs.....what"s the answer , who knows.

Not approved yet......

Nice little earner for Edinburgh .

Accordingly, each season the SCB produces a Rule Book entitled The Speedway Regulations, that covers all the rules applicable to the sport in Great Britain. It is available in booklet form at a small cost from the SCB Office or as a fre download from the SCB Website www.scbgb.co.ukFinanced entirely by fees generated through the issue of Track Licences, Rider Registrations and Officials Licences the SCB seeks to act as the independent body to ensure that the BSPA, Member’s Tracks, Riders and Officials all act within the Rules and Regulations of the SCB and most importantly within the best interest of Speedway motorcycle racing.The SCB is managed on a day to day basis by the SCB Co-ordinator (Neil Vatcher: neil@scbgb.co.uk) and an Administrator (Nikki Jameison: info@scbgb.co.uk). They are augmented in specialist areas by Track Inspectors (Alan Bridgett: alan@scbgb.co.uk & Mick Bates: mick@scbgb.co.uk) and a Technical Advisor (Jim McMillan: jim@scbgb.co.uk).Further specialist advice concerning Medical and Environmental matters are obtained via the ACU Committees; Environmental Advisor (Peter Gregory: pgregory@ntlworld.com), Medical Panel Secretary (Debbie Walmsley: dg@acu.org.uk)The Bureau consists of 4 nominated Members, two representing the ACU are Tony Steele and Graham Reeve (ACU Members) whilst Alex Harkess (BSPA President) and Gordon Pairman (BSPA Promoter) represent the British Speedway Promoters Association under the independent Chairmanship of Tony Gillias (a former Rider with Coventry & Scunthorpe).

We could possibly be champions if we manage to race our remaining home meetings

I think you should change the title of the thread to Ipswich v Workington

Financial problems were highlighted a few weeks ago in the Speedway Star.

Fantastic win for the Comets

According to the updates its Josh Embelton for Mason Campton and r/r for Ty Proctor.

Aggravated his wrist injury in a crash last night but carried on racing.

Nicolai scored 18+1 at Glasgow on June 15th.

Sad to hear, thought Workington was downbeat.

Well done Worky.
