Makes it all more of a lottery... meh

Has anybody mentioned Dayle Wood? If not... Dayle Wood, although he did improve quite a bit in his 2nd year

Let's hope the home office don't look at their track record!

Approval from who? His mum?

Haven't they already got a stake in the Alpine F1 team, I think?

It's good to know that Martin Vaculik can still learn a thing or two from Paul Hurry 😉

I could hear a bike around BP today... Vaculik having a trial? 😂

Bomber not returning to the Spires in 2025 "Speedway is a funny old sport at times, I urge fans of any rider or any club to not look through rose tinted glasses especially this time of year, there is always more to a story, I can confirm my story is going to be a good one one day, but only when I hang up my boots - which won’t be any time soon." Not sure what he means by that... it's all a bit Eric Cantona 🛥🐦

Taxi for @foreverblue

Between Fricke, Masters, Becker, Lawson & Douglas only 1 match was missed by Douglas last season, which goes a long way towards Lions high league table finishing position I would have thought, it got them to the final but not over the line.

Just pick a sentence from each and re-word, that's what I did, I'm sure the the numbers will help... literally took me 5 minutes

We know that because we see that. What we don't know (we kind of do) is the adverse effect on crowds throughout the year because the johnny come lately glory hunters (ahem @mikebv 😉😜😂) come out of the woodwork at pay off time. They've given many other matches a miss during the season because it doesn't really matter if they win or not on any given night.

I'm surprised nobody has posted on here about the recent social media call to arms to fill in the Google Thurrock Data Centre Consultation form. Link here: https://www.thurrockhammers.com/2024-news/urgent-call-to-action-thurrock-data-centre-consultation/

Berwick weren't running 3 leagues though

Is a 3 league Oxford operation viable if CL were to run 2H2A? As Oxford have already confirmed operating in all 3 leagues next year either it is viable or 1H1A is going to remain and a lot of clubs will be finishing in August again, despite most people saying that such a situation is ridiculous.

I think you can delete topics you've started yourself... might have to be on the desktop site though

I don't for sure, that's why I said "appear"... I'm just going by the lack of proactivity by all other Speedway clubs with the exception of Belle Vue. And with the club still up for sale? (I haven't heard otherwise) where is the incentive for the current promotion to look for another base?

topic already open

Poole have known about the "question marks" around their stadium for years and like many other tracks before them appear to have done diddly squat in seeking a long term sustainable replacement. When the inevitable happens the usual levers will be pulled, petitions, action groups, council backing, planning meetings, appeals etc. And all the Pirate fans will have to wait for years before these things are sorted out... if they ever are. Clubs (all clubs that rent their stadiums) should be pro-active in preempting their inevitable eviction and be seeking alternative sustainable sites to run Speedway.

He did manage to shoot himself in the head though didn't he? in some kind of bizarre accident? He was safe enough on a bike though.

Somebody who's been in a reserve berth position for the whole of their careers and never really progressed from that. That's okay as the sport needs these type of riders, but there's been a lot of hype surrounding Boughen unlike the other 2 named riders.

Don't want him anyway ✋️

Don't you remember? Granted it was a fair few years ago, when you threatened to close down because all of the 🐀had deserted the sinking 🏴‍☠️🛳️ Wasn't it when Cecil put the club up for sale and couldn't off load it?

... or when they're losing

And you'd have access to Brumbrella track covers 👍🏻
