The week prior to the GP there is test event involving juniors, will this be open to the public? I guess not. Is Qualifying open to the public?

Some might be revaluating Birmingham's side now Proctor has signed at reserve. I know hes had a lot of injuries in the past but he could easy put a point or 2 on his average riding at reserve.

The e bikes were quicker than 125cc probably more comparable to a 250cc. I am not sure if the technology is there to develop a bike to be comparable to 500cc, would it just need a bigger/better battery?

I think you are spot on with this, sheffield are the best team imo.

According to Polish press the Poland Albania football match (March 27th) will not take place in the stadium because they still can't say if the stadium is safe to hold a crowd. There must be some doubts about the speedway taking place 47 days latter.

I find that hard to believe, it doesn't cost that much to get custom merchandise made and its not like they go off. It wouldn't have to be a full on shop just a few items that say Scunthorpe speedway, they could sell them by the bar in the club house.

I wonder if Adam Roynon was Scunny's target instead of Joe Thompson before Poole came in with the big bucks. Rob got some new flood lights, I didn't really have any problem with the lights. Its the PA system that's dodgy, with speakers that sometimes stop working. What happened to the score board that was installed, I assume that broke? Will there be any sort of Scunny merchandise for sale this year, even if there wasn't a proper track shop, how hard would it be to put out a few hats, scarfs and car stickers all of which are free advertising for the speedway.

I think it might be because of the roof. People can go in the stadium but I don't think crowds are allowed in. According to polish press a decision will be made next week as to whether a football match can take place in March.

Maybe not although there will be a lot of riders not involved in that meeting they could easy do a Poland v ROW/GB/Denmark

In the past they have had an International friendly on the Sunday after the GP but I can't see any Internationals on the calendar have they yet to be scheduled?

Typical Tungate he has got form for being a hot head, band twice before, a nasty piece of work.

Any idea why champ fixtures aren't out?

If he tried to sell the club why didn't he advertise?

Why didn't he try to sell/hand over the club and let somebody else take up the fight? He has taken a back hander to be Osbourne's spokesman, repeating the required line 'speedway is unviable'. Why would it be anymore viable 45m out of town? Terry may have played a big part in Swindon's recent success but Swindon' has a long history he has also played a massive part in its downfall.

I doubt he will build a track/stadium within 45m of Swindon, more likely he will try to appeal the planning condition that says the stadium must be built. In 5, 10, 15 years down the line he will claim that speedway is no longer a viable sport in or around Swindon and therefore there is no longer a need for a speedway stadium. Whether the council will have much fight in them in 5, 10, 15 years time, I have my doubts. Terry Russel has taken the money(just like he took loads of money out the sport for brokering a tv deal), he has been lying for a long time and is just as bigger a crook as Osbourne.

Jake Allen got injured mid way through last season probably contributed to his current average of 6.30, his previous 4 seasons in CL he has averaged between 7 and 8. He did seem to lack some of his old speed last year maybe his engines weren't up to standard. Jakes only 27 I doubt his average is on the slide yet.

Its a little annoying the Poles can't say which day the meeting is on, something to do with tv scheduling probably.

Poole don't look special to me but if riders aren't performing they will be ruthless and splash the cash on some foreigner on a 5point average.

1. Glasgow 2. Scunny 3. Redcar 4. Poole 5. Plymouth 6. Edinburgh 7. Oxford 8. Berwick 9. Birmingham

Scunny's advantage comes from having a team full of racers, they score points at home and suffer away. Scunny suits the racers, you can have the right set up but you still have to be balls out committed to score the points.

Has it been reassesed?

Why is Vissing on a 5 point average?
