They come ready cut.

Several years ago, when Somerset came to Perry Barr, the announcer spent all night playing Wurzels songs! I bet the Rebels fans were gritting their teeth by the end, but no-one complained, unlike Poole .

This includes Birmingham!

"The best"? Workington were in the second division. Anyway, I can assure you that when Birmingham went into the NL in 2015, the racing was excellent, and served as a springboard to return to professional racing. Anyone who refuses to watch NL racing is merely cutting off their nose to spite their face.

Amongst other things, that you can either have your ST refunded, or can roll it over to next year. This is what I have done. Try emailing them again? Or phoning?

Off you go then, Martin!

Definately sent it to the wrong address ... have you had your letter from Peter Mason, Col?

Mybe you sent them to the wrong address? I've had a letter from the promotion saying, inter alia, that they will roll over season tickets to next year. I think that that's what I will do with mine.

That was wrong?

Sic transit gloria mundi ... Mega-talented speedway rider, World Champion, took to selling cocaine, did time. Like Ward, too good too soon, thought that he could do what he liked and sod everyone else.

The answer depends on which team they support ...

Well, with the Aussies and continentals likely to be missing, all teams will probably have to make up the numbers with NL riders in reserve, for whatever rump of a season is left.

Perhaps he was being ironical? Perhaps the virus has affected your sense of humour.

Sport is taking place now, as long a social didtancing is observed. There shouldn't be any problem for speedway practice sessions.

Probaly that was due to having joined the Championship at the last minute, resulting in the very weak team!

Actually, the present Brummies promotion is trying to help new riders, with some success. However, the previous Mole/Drury promotion didn't care and wouldn't do anything.

I have attended winter meetings in the amateur speedway: at Scunthorpe! This country isn't Alaska, you can have good days in January, just as much as midsummer.

But who was going to pay for that? They cost £5000 each: which meant that practically every rider in the country would be ten grand at least out of pocket! As for upright engines: they are exactly the same as laydowns, except for the oil breather. I sold one to a rider (who posts on this forum), and he fitted it to an upright frame and won amateur races with it.

Have you any reason to believe that the Brummies will go bust? The season ticket is not likely to be much use this season, as there is likely to be fewer matches than originally planned. Or is this the usual BSF negativity?

I don't see this. In my team, when we went into the Elite League, two 'star riders' made themselves cordially disliked; and they didn't cause any increase in attendances. Then, when the team dropped into the third division, there wasn't any drop in the crowds. More often, IMO, what causes the crowd to diminish is perpetually losing teams, like another team in the Midlands.

They certainly do: and it's not even a car park, just a grass field!

Kent aren't the only ones: with parking, entry and a programme, it cost about £25 for Somerset, no concessions there either!

Maybe because they don't know if or when the season will start, and how many matches will take place? As far as I am concerned, they can roll my season ticket over to next year, and I can pay for the few matches which are likely to take place later on.

Named after an aeroplane!

There was always plenty of riders paying £40 to practice at Scunthorpe and other tracks: somewhere in the north west should do just as well.
