I would hate the Stocks to move into the NSS, but if it was that or no speedway, then I think most speedway fans would grit their teeth and accept it. At the moment though it's thank god for the 4g pitch. The Stocks used to rip the track up something awful at Kirky Lane.. The meeting after usually was a nightmare for the riders.. However, JP, who let them in, was grateful for the money they brought, even if it caused several headaches to rectify the damage done by the cars. . Coventry seemed to be, and Kings Lynn still does seem to be, relatively happy bed fellows with the Stock Cars,.. But as you say, the 4G should ensure no Stox at the NSS..

acef Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 It's an easy money spinner. The business man in me says just do it. The speedway fan says don't be stupid. It's one of the tracks in the world, I wouldn't to ruin it with cars. As has been said though, the 4g pitch will ensure it never happens and that is used every single day.

Sidney the robin Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 I see the Charles Wright introduction on the Belle Vue tv link and Steve Worrall was also there.I initially thought Steve might of needed a move to reinvent himself but looking at it now Steve has a really important part to play next year for the Aces .I hate the averages facts and figures side of speedway but Steve is one of those riders that there are not many riders on his average that are better than him.I think he can put a point on his average and if he can get back to the level he was at in his WTC year he can average more.I enjoyed watching Steve in his Swindon days stint and i believe he is far better than he has shown recently also he is a really popular team man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the stock cars at Buxton use the Hi-Edge raceway which is a completely stand alone track on the same site as the speedway stadium.

Chris116 Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) The Hi-Edge Raceway is a tarmac oval but Kirkmanshulme Lane is a shale track so transferring fixtures would not be to Hi-Edge but another shale track and the Hi-Edge promotion would not allow the Belle Vue promotion to run on the Buxton Speedway track even if the Buxton Speedway wanted to have the cars on their track.

The Belle Vue stock car promotion, Startrax, have stated that they are not even considering the NSS as a possible replacement. Living in London I am far more concerned that during my lifetime I have seen cars and/or bikes at Wimbledon, West Ham, Harringay, Walthamstow, Romford, Crayford, Hackney, White City, Earls Court 2, Rayleigh, New Cross, Staines and Arena Essex. They have all been redeveloped meaning the local population increased while the amount of local entertainment decreased which is almost as stupid as railway lines being closed in the 1960's just as big new housing estates were built around the now closed stations and then the politicians wondered why there was so much traffic causing grid lock. Edited December 29, 2019 by Chris116 Left out New Cross & Staines! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I wanted to know who was racing and couldn’t find a link anywhere UPDATE: finally found a link but can only find one other confirmed Premiership rider, Jordan Stewart. If you include Sam Masters, who must be nailed on for Wolves, that’s two. Who is the third? Edited December 30, 2019 by Wee Eck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit of a rubbish league, isn’t it? One proper number one in Jason Doyle, one future number one (maybe) in Robert Lambert, one former number one in Nikki Pedersen and loads of journeymen (Kurtz, Holder J, Harris, Kildemand, Batchelor etc) I think Poole made the right choice - CL is not trying to pretend it’s a top ranking league, just a good balance of up and comers and been theres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I’m not convinced our top league is trying to be anything it’s not. The main trouble it has is only tracking seven clubs but I think everyone is well aware how far down the pecking order the UK is nowadays.
