I think Rew only had a visa for 1 league so couldn’t ride championship at the time, haven’t got a clue how the Visa’s work but think that was the reason. 

Also doesn't he ride in Denmark and Poland? So be a few clashes I would have thought!

Is Richie Worrall off the cocaine yet?

Never paid the fine allegedly so can’t resume riding until it’s paid.

no need to put one bad apple into a decent crop of better ones . also  , all the money richie has made out of speedway and yet he cant/wont pay the fine that would enable him to persue a job he loved . or did he not like doing it ? that tells you where most of the money went .

Gino Manzares coming over for the BEN Fund meeting so maybe worth a try - assuming he hasn't already been snapped up elsewhere?!

The lad you should be looking is Alex Martin, the other Yank in the BenFund meeting.  Much younger, huge potential...

Surely should be the delightfully named slater lightcap if going after any young American, if nothing else for the wonderful name!

In all seriousness I see broc is in the American team for the SON, if he's managed to get his shoulder in better shape be a better shout than manzares imo

Statement taken from Tate’s Facebook this morning.

Hello everyone just want to jump on and thank everyone for all the messages and hospital visits this means a lot I haven't been able to get back to everyone but thanks everyone. It's going to be a long bumpy road to recovery I will spend the coming weeks in hospital fighting to get better each day. It has been a rough few days so far but we will keep flighting. So far I can let you all know I have fractured 7 vertebrae and 5 ribs and have a nasty entry and exit hole in my left bum cheek where I was penetrated by my bike when I followed by bike into the fence. I have so far had 1 surgery on my ass cheek and have been told I will need a couple more in the coming days. I want to let everyone know this crash was 100% a racing incident and nobody is at flat. I will keep everyone updated on what is happening next

Tate now announced about the injury to his backside, few knew of this but kept it quiet. I gather it was an awful situation for those on track with mechanics having to dismantle the bike that had penetrated him with great care and guidance from medics due to other injuries to his back etc .

Any reason? Forecast seems ok

Copied and Pasted off Facebook:

Tomorrow’s home fixture against the Plymouth Gladiators has been postponed due to the week’s bad weather we have received, as well as tomorrow’s forecast.
A new date TBC as soon as possible…

So I had a wander down to the track today to see the damage from the torrential rain we've been having. As you can see, the track is good enough for a swim but that's about it. So you plymouth fans can settle yourselves down.

 

 

P.s. I definitely didn't google "flooded speedway track to shut up those muppets from Plymouth".
