Speedway of Nations 2024
IainB replied to a4poster's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Somebody within British Speedway needs to be asking themselves what enables riders to race (really well) in these conditions that doesn't allow them to even start at King's Lynn, and abandon meetings like BV vs Sheffield and Birmingham vs Oxford, Oxford vs Ippo etc etc -

It looks about the same as the Sheffield meeting track to me, after they'd done all the work. See if Jack Holder wants it tonight. -

It's whether the weather will hold off long enough tonight, they may start. Let's hope the medic that called off the Sheffield meeting ain't here! Watching tractors go around the track is marginally more entertaining than watching England play Football at least -

Only 15 minutes required to get it raceable, IF it stops raining, according to Morris... I'll have some of what he's had! Monster, Monster! -

About 20,000 last year and this year is the last year of a 3 year deal signed by WBD predecessors IMG. I think SoN is a trial run for a SGP -

Assuming we're not going back to Cardiff... where else in the UK could a GP be held? And who would stage it? Mr Tolley at the Alexander Stadium? Mr Tolley, I have some magic beans to sell you! -

Do you accept returns? -

Don't forget the rusky riders gave the meeting a miss when they could ride for Russia, something to do with money, so there's no way they are going to do it now -
Birmingham v Oxford Mon 8th July PL
IainB replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
This is part of the narrative being pushed by the club but the team was complete on Jan the 22nd and the announcement that they were "competing" in the PL was made on the 17th of November. -

Got lucky with the weather in the end, there was a dirty great black cloud bearing down on the stadium but it just missed us. Meeting was Ebdoned through to heat 17 when it was all decided. -

No point in giving out warnings of you're not going to enforce them... who's the ref, do we know? -

Like Ukraine? Maybe they should just walk into the pits and push them out of their pit bays. -

Crowd on a par with a Eurosport league meeting against Birmingham or King'sLynn, on a damp night... better than Wroclaw last year though Track looks on the grippy side -

No surprise there, there's now forecast to be a weather window until big rain is due to hit at around 21:30 to 22:00, let's hope there's no faffing about! -

Look on the bright side... If there is one track in the UK that can take the rain and then produce a raceable track afterwards it's the NSS. -

Any rain is forecast to clear around 3, I would imagine practice would be canceled and the track will be very, very, very, very grippy tonight, which doesn't make for great Speedway around the NSS, may throw a surprise though?
