Foord? Where you pulled that one from 😂 he’s signed elsewhere and at a club you’d not expect.

An interesting if inherently sad feature on ITN 6.30pm National News on Thursday night and repeated as part of the nationally screened Tonight programme on at 8.30pm across ITV Regions the same night.

It included filming in The Pits Area and Seated Stand and some panoramic views of the excellent work done there.

A very sad topic though about "drink spiking" and a feature about a local lad who it appears was involved in the Speedway whose parents are involved in a National Campaign to emphasise how dangerous and lethal it can be....

Sangita Lal the presenter mentioned the Speedway and there were some racing clips a few times.

What a man !👌 he was just saying on the live feed last night  before setting off for the meeting that he was going to take it easy as he has only had one small practice 😃👍

Troy gets a bad press but twice this season at the 'meet the riders' and again last night he has spoken with humour and intelligence.He appears to be very personable and happy in his own skin. Done himself and Worky proud last season and fully deserves the fans vote as Rider of the Season.

Must watch this on catch up. I remember Greg Mackie from the old Northside training track, shocking way to have your life taken away at the tender age of 18.

Yeah I got that impression from him too. Vissing on the other hand, good riddance.

I think (hope)  that the core 3 of the team will be Cookie, Troy and Tate. There are rumours Antti wont ride in the Uk but cant see that with him being established in BV team. Would like to see him back at Worky but may not fit with European commitments. Paul Starke appears to be Poole bound so their social media predicts.

Can anyone explain what is the "reduction" applied to averages for team building Ive heard it mentioned but dont understand

Any rider who has been or is eligible to compete in the NDL, holds a British passport and has not represented another FMN, other than the ACU will receive 2.5% reduction on their MA
