Also had 2 rainoffs so would have been finished earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more unbelievable Glasgow go to Plymouth the day after a home meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7KDD Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Clubs need to start making their own plans for special fixtures and arranging friendly matches outwith the leagues and KO cup. I'd love to see some international invitational friendly matches. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secsy1 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Well with Ghost teams such as Newcastle being allowed to ride again, surely a challenge match could be arranged? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo95 Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Listening to the talk speedway podcast with Peter Facenna. Freddie working for the Glasgow owners (probably a good reason for him to go to Glasgow). Interesting listen. Need to listen to more of these as good content. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two in particular I must recommend, if you haven't listened to them yet, is Sam Ermolenko and Mads Korneliussen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
