1
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,920
There were a few moans or a few 
groans when the GP riders were 

2
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,760
published for the 2026 season, 
and we have to be honest and say

3
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,800
that our eyebrows will raise the
orbit in the Speedway table. 

4
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,200
But what hasn't come as a 
surprise is the bravery of one 

5
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,520
individual. 
Because we have known, have we 

6
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,760
not for a long time, that Ty 
Washington is indeed brave. 

7
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,520
And make no mistake, it was 
brave of him to turn down the 

8
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,360
chance of AGP ride this season 
with no guarantee he will ever 

9
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,800
get one in the future. 
It was also the right decision. 

10
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,680
It was right for him, right for 
his family and for his health. 

11
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,280
By the way, can't you tell the 
Speedway season has started now 

12
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,680
just by looking outside the 
weather? 

13
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,000
Welcome to the Speedway 7. 
Only in Speedway. 

14
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,240
Good evening, gentlemen. 
Good evening. 

15
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,960
Good evening. 
Was that we I should, I should 

16
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:11,640
introduce. 
You shouldn't, because yeah. 

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,960
Yeah, how how wonderful we are. 
Yeah. 

18
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:15,880
So we've got Webbie say hello, 
Webbie. 

19
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,600
Hello, Webbie. 
We've got Matt and we've got 

20
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,720
myself. 
I don't know what we're calling 

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,680
me today. 
It's early days. 

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,480
Yes. 
So Michael or GA or yeah, we 

23
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,920
won't go any further. 
OK, so thoughts guys on Ty 

24
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,680
Offendon's announcement? 
It's a selfless decision, I 

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,840
think, isn't it? 
Very much so. 

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,160
It was always a bit of AI think 
it was always a huge gun, but 

27
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,640
the cynical side of me always 
felt that it was done as a 

28
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,160
publicity thing really, because,
you know, everybody knows the 

29
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,640
story of entire obviously the 
the crash last year, the fact 

30
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,040
that, you know, he was in the 
coma for a period of time. 

31
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,920
It was just a, you know, and, 
and Ty's box office isn't he, 

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,600
you know, he's, he's probably, 
probably the one rider in the, 

33
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,920
in the, the sport over the last 
10 years is, is, is very, very 

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,800
good at self marketing, whether 
whatever people think of him or 

35
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,039
not. 
So, but ultimately, I don't 

36
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,960
think, I don't think toys a lot 
of these riders who could ever 

37
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,040
just sort of settle for just 
turning up, turning up and just,

38
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,400
you know, go not not going 
through the motions, but just 

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,600
not being competitive. 
You know, in the last 3-4 years 

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,800
in the world championship, he 
wasn't competitive in the Grand 

41
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,600
prixs. 
So it remains to be seen whether

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,480
that's it for him at Grand Prix 
level. 

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,840
I think this year is going to be
key for him. 

44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,920
I think it's a huge year for Ty 
this season. 

45
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:39,640
If he can sort of get sort of, 
you know, into a position where 

46
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,480
he's, you know, he's able to 
compete against some of the best

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,120
riders. 
Obviously he's not riding in the

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,040
UK. 
And of course we signed for 

49
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Northampton, which I think is we
don't know anything about that 

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,840
still yet. 
Yeah, we will definitely come on

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,600
to that. 
There's an awful lot we can say,

52
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,040
obviously. 
He will be doing Poland this 

53
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,880
year as well. 
So if he does, you know, in 

54
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,040
maybe 2027 he might decide, 
well, I'll have a go. 

55
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,320
So, but I suppose it depends of 
course as whether he gets the 

56
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,600
pick. 
Whether he gets the pick, yeah, 

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,520
there is no guarantee of that, 
of course, but I just think it 

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,560
was the right decision for his 
health and for his family. 

59
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,320
He's got to come, he's got to 
put himself first at the. 

60
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,960
Absolutely. 
Absolutely. 

61
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,560
So yeah, well, the Speedway 
season has started. 

62
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:23,280
Wouldn't have guessed it from 
the rain outside. 

63
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,240
No, you would have guessed it 
from the rain outside. 

64
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,360
Let's be honest, it's decidedly 
wintry temperatures. 

65
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,920
Very cold. 
It's not very nice for standing 

66
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,640
on the terraces, is it So? 
If at all, yeah. 

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,800
But no, it's obviously a few 
meetings already gone ahead and 

68
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,760
unfortunately, of course, we've 
already had our first injury. 

69
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,040
So we obviously wish Charles 
Wright all the best of the, yes,

70
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,560
dislocated shoulder, badly 
dislocated shoulder by all the 

71
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,720
cans on on Sunday. 
So that's a huge blow. 

72
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,880
Obviously red cost moving 
quickly to bring. 

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,080
Good move, Nikolai Clinton, 
possibly the only move. 

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,160
Probably was the only move in 
fairness, I think you know 

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,760
Nikolai's obviously you know as 
you know, good, solid before, 

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,160
but certainly. 
At that level. 

77
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,600
And obviously, you know, I, I 
wonder whether Charles right, 

78
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,200
because obviously Charles 
right's not being fixed to win 

79
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,160
the top leg yet. 
I just wonder whether he was 

80
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,800
maybe on the right off of 
Northampton. 

81
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:17,600
That's obviously, you know, like
him. 

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,880
He had a good season last year 
and of course did one in them. 

83
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,080
You know, we remember that epic 
final in the British 

84
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,640
Championship at Bellevue. 
Of course, he somehow finished 

85
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,000
second in that one. 
He was in, I think like every 

86
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
other order, he was in every 
single position on the on the 

87
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,560
last lap in that one. 
So we wish him well. 

88
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,080
But for Red Car, obviously 
Nicola Clinton is the man they 

89
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,080
picked. 
I think as you say, it probably 

90
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,200
was the only move. 
Probably a short term thing, 

91
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,000
wasn't it? 
You know you don't. 

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,960
Sort of. 
Given the result that they had 

93
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,280
at Scunthorpe, which you might 
have expected them to do a bit 

94
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:50,360
closer. 
Yeah, it was, it was fairly 

95
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,680
obvious the the the point where 
they lost the points in that 

96
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,840
match. 
So I think they had to do 

97
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,800
something really. 
Yeah, it's horrible being down 

98
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,960
to guests in your first match of
the season, isn't it? 

99
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,280
That's it. 
So yeah. 

100
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,440
It's, I mean, it's horrible at 
any time of the season. 

101
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,800
Yeah, Clive Woodio said. 
What's Northampton's team? 

102
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,360
We don't know. 
Well, still. 

103
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,960
I mean, we don't, we don't know 
anything, we don't even know 

104
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,320
what Northampton's name is. 
Although I haven't, of course, 

105
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,280
I, I haven't a favourite name 
and I think that I, I would 

106
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:21,680
like, like them to go Cobblers. 
Nope 'cause. 

107
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,200
Obviously, that's the yeah, 
Coblers, yes. 

108
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,640
Yeah, I think they should go 
with Nomads just because the 

109
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,320
chances are that they're going 
to be lots of people from 

110
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,440
different tracks that are within
the region turning up to watch 

111
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,280
that that team. 
I think so, yeah. 

112
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,000
So I think that would actually 
be a good name for them, but I. 

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,160
Think they'll probably want to 
go off so we get a bit more 

114
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,880
marketable, won't they? 
So you know, we keep saying we 

115
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,800
hopefully we'll know something. 
So I mean, obviously we're 

116
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,000
hoping, I think we're tonight, 
we were hoping to do a bit of a 

117
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,080
prediction on the on the 
Premiership this season, but 

118
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,680
it's a bit difficult to do 
because we still don't. 

119
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,760
We still don't. 
We don't know the teams, Yeah. 

120
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,560
So I mean, at the moment you 
guys put Northampton in last 

121
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,920
place just because who the hell 
are they going to sign? 

122
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,280
Oh, that's it, So. 
But hopefully they they just 

123
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:17,000
from, from the point of view of 
promoting A-Team a new team, you

124
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,360
would think that'd be that'd be 
wanting to get it all out in the

125
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,800
press and everything and there's
nothing, absolutely nothing. 

126
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,480
You would have certainly 
expected something by now, 

127
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,560
wouldn't you, Sir? 
We don't even. 

128
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,880
We don't even know it's 
promoting it. 

129
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,080
We've got no, no, no, nothing. 
We don't know anything really. 

130
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,480
You know nothing. 
We know where they're going to 

131
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,240
race. 
That's just about it. 

132
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,880
So. 
And that's literally it. 

133
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,760
Yeah. 
Shall we? 

134
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,760
Do you want to do a few hellos 
and stuff? 

135
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,520
Hello, Hello. 
Hello to Peter Clark, hello to 

136
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:51,160
Dave Coyne, hello to Fred 
Graham, Clive Woodyear and a few

137
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,240
other people. 
We're too scared to come on. 

138
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,160
So we've, we've started a, a new
system this week. 

139
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,120
We might as well talk a little 
bit about it. 

140
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,560
I, I try all this and got the 
score right just for once. 

141
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:11,200
So you can join the Prediction 
League via this new link, but we

142
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,320
still want you to come on here 
and give us your predictions as 

143
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,920
well. 
So that. 

144
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Yeah, we. 
Yeah. 

145
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,920
Just just to just to post 
something as well. 

146
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,000
There's a couple of comments on 
there saying that they couldn't 

147
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,080
post on the link. 
The link will expire after a 

148
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,520
certain period of time expire. 
I've set it to expire after the 

149
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,160
last match, after the last match
just started. 

150
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,280
Well, the first match just 
started. 

151
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Yeah, well, first match 12 so 
far. 

152
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,040
Obviously last week it was easy 
because there was only one. 

153
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,320
Now obviously tonight's you 
might have noticed tonight's 

154
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,440
we've posted about half an hour 
ago. 

155
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,040
I've just, if you're watching on
Facebook, I've just put it in 

156
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,680
the chat. 
Yeah, and I've just put it on 

157
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,480
screen as well, OK. 
And I'll when and there will be 

158
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,520
on Saturdays. 
I've already scheduled it 

159
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,400
Saturday the week 3 fixtures 
will go out as well. 

160
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,480
Another link pretty 
straightforward, I think you and

161
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,080
obviously you you're you're also
the first one to go on there I. 

162
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,480
Think was it OK? 
And yeah. 

163
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,520
You you actually did it with no 
problem. 

164
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Yeah, No, no, which is why do 
you sound so, so no. 

165
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,480
It's called quite some certain 
shocks. 

166
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,040
You know what I mean? 
It's technical, yeah. 

167
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,240
Well, at. 
Least he remembered to put his 

168
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,840
ONS well. 
I know what an idiot what he 

169
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,680
was. 
An idiot? 

170
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:18,440
Yes. 
Well. 

171
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,880
Well, he's a busy man, so 
obviously with this and the 

172
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,120
Tilton Jorke Journal. 
Oh, it's all go, go. 

173
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,960
There you go. 
Right evening gents Glasgow 

174
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,000
Tiger Speedway press and 
practise tomorrow and Ben Fund 

175
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,360
on Saturday for me this weekend.
Fred Graham. 

176
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,400
I think we probably should have 
a look at the the Ben fund line 

177
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,840
up and come up with some 
predictions on that. 

178
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:46,040
Pete Clark says Northampton 
Nitro's that's been, that's been

179
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,440
mentioned a few times, hasn't 
it? 

180
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,960
And. 
Just like that, it's quite. 

181
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,080
Yeah, Nico, Nico Kenilworth says
up the bees. 

182
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,360
Yeah, Coventry course in action 
tomorrow. 

183
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,080
Is it Oxford? 
Charlie Russe there? 

184
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,400
So we're hoping to see a few 
Coventry fans to make the way 

185
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,280
down to Oxford. 
Of course, still keeping our 

186
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,600
fingers crossed. 
At some point there will be 

187
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,200
Speedway at Brandon again, but 
we'll just keep our fingers 

188
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,720
crossed on that one. 
It'll be nice to see somebody do

189
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,600
a a Birmingham team at some 
point this season so I can get a

190
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,040
get along and support that. 
I have a question for you 

191
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,280
actually and a question for all 
those people out there that have

192
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:34,280
lost teams. 
Have you yet been able to look 

193
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,640
at YouTube and watch any 
Wolverhampton matches? 

194
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,480
A few, yeah, because I mean the 
one thing I haven't done. 

195
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:43,920
I mean, I've noticed a few 
people have put photographs of, 

196
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,240
of Mummer as it is now. 
I haven't, I haven't looked at 

197
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:46,800
them. 
So. 

198
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,560
Because I've I thought about it 
today, I thought I might watch 

199
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:53,640
her. 
I've got a few DVDs and stuff 

200
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,400
and I just couldn't face it. 
Couldn't do it. 

201
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,160
Yeah, couldn't watch it. 
It's, you know, it's, it's this 

202
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,840
time of the year, certainly 
when, when walls closed, it was 

203
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,680
this time of the year when it 
sort of hit me, you know, 

204
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,720
looking at the fixtures or 
where's the wall? 

205
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,640
Oh yeah, of course there's no 
walls fixtures because there's 

206
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,880
no track, so. 
Any more news? 

207
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,800
Yeah, both coming on. 
Nothing. 

208
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,480
It's gone. 
It's gone extremely quiet. 

209
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,320
There's a lot of things that 
I've seen being said about the 

210
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,360
the situation with Wolves, which
you know, doesn't really doesn't

211
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,840
really sound very promising at 
the moment, unfortunately. 

212
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,000
So I think there's things 
happening at other places. 

213
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,680
There's obviously there's things
happening at Cridy. 

214
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:40,200
They're obviously they're 
busting a Gus Coventry doing the

215
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,160
same thing as well. 
And I think there's other clubs.

216
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,600
I think Peterborough, I think 
there's read somewhere. 

217
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,880
I think there's some, maybe some
bit of hope for Peterborough as 

218
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,560
well, Swindon, of course, still,
still battling, so hopefully at 

219
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:55,040
some point there'll be some news
on Wolves. 

220
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,080
But at the moment it's it's 
disorderly quiet. 

221
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,040
Well, fingers crossed, we've got
a couple of interesting comments

222
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,880
here. 
So Darren Reynolds says hi chaps

223
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,520
and this is a new name for me, 
so hi, hi chaps, great to have 

224
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,560
you back. 
Do you think a spend capping 

225
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:14,160
system would then allow both 
leagues to become one? 

226
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,320
I think the problem with a a cap
system is how the hell do you 

227
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,720
police it? 
Because I've tried that before 

228
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,400
and it people just find other 
ways. 

229
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Well, like how we can't, we 
can't, but we can buy your van 

230
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,920
or we can give you, you know, 
this or that. 

231
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,960
It's so people find ways around 
that, unfortunately. 

232
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,040
Part of the problem of the 
people that run the clubs 

233
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,480
setting the rules isn't that. 
Yeah, exactly. 

234
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,760
I think the problem at the 
moment with the biggest problem 

235
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,600
with, with, I think with the two
leagues becoming 1, I don't 

236
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,800
know, there's been a few things 
said about it, but actually I 

237
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,240
think it's the the biggest 
problem is that Championship 

238
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,440
promoters don't want the the 
premiership level riders and and

239
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,120
so on to come down. 
They're quite happy with the 

240
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:05,840
with the way things are working 
well. 

241
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,440
Ultimately, when you look at the
teams. 

242
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,920
There's not a lot of difference.
Not a lot of difference really. 

243
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,080
I mean, you've got Bellevue with
Kurtz and and that's really it. 

244
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,240
I mean, obviously it's this 
season. 

245
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:21,440
No suffered and often Doyle 
Yeah, I think I don't think 

246
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,120
there was ever you know, there 
was a lot of rumours last season

247
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,840
and murmurings that this was 
going to be the year that they 

248
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,720
might do go back to the one big 
league. 

249
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,440
But I don't think there was ever
really any desire to do it at. 

250
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,160
Some point if they keep losing 
teams, you can't see that. 

251
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,480
It might well get to the stage 
where the arms force and they 

252
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,800
have to do it, but I think just 
get the feeling at the moment 

253
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,760
that they'll just resist it as 
long as they can. 

254
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,640
Dave Twine says I had two DVDs 
that went Brum beat Wolves in 

255
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,960
the playoffs and then a certain 
team then. 

256
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:59,800
Did something? 
Yeah, now just stop bringing 

257
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:05,800
back bad memories, please. 
That's still still rankles, but.

258
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,040
It's frightening thing. 
That was 13 years ago now, isn't

259
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:10,760
it? 
Was it real? 

260
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,440
I've seen years. 
Grief. 

261
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,680
I don't know where that's gone 
though. 

262
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,560
That's it's been 13 years. 
Exactly. 

263
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,240
OK. 
So we should talk about Nicola 

264
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,960
Clint's benefit meeting. 
I can't remember what it's 

265
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,440
called now, testimonial. 
Thank you very much. 

266
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,800
One, of course, by was Tom 
Brennan, wasn't it? 

267
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,320
Tom Brennan, I believe, won it, 
yes. 

268
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,800
On count back, I think I read 
because obviously that there was

269
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:53,600
the injury to Mr. Wright and by 
all accounts the weather wasn't 

270
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,280
great. 
Yeah, I've seen some of the 

271
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,440
photographs in the meeting. 
It was definitely, definitely a 

272
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,240
wet one. 
But you know, obviously a lost 

273
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,840
little fixture for the start of 
the season. 

274
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,680
Of course, you know, Nicola 
Clint's been, you know, it's 18 

275
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:09,200
years. 
I think so. 

276
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,760
I mean, it was in 2008. 
I think he came over because he 

277
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:17,320
was brought him over and didn't,
you know, made a mixed 

278
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,200
impression from, from, from my 
memories and certainly as a 

279
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,120
rider, even then a ride, if he 
got out in front, it was very, 

280
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,280
very difficult to catch. 
But if he if he missed the 

281
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,800
missed the gate, then he was, he
was always difficult to see him,

282
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,120
you know, battling his way 
through. 

283
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,320
He did a bit of a finance and 
little bit down. 

284
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,280
You don't. 
I don't remember. 

285
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,800
That I don't. 
I don't remember feeling so. 

286
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,200
I know he frustrated another 
member of my family. 

287
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,000
Very much so. 
In the same sort of vein. 

288
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,880
Yeah, so could be, could be, 
could be frustrating, but on on 

289
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,680
his day, it was capable of 
beating anybody. 

290
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,200
Nicola Clinton still is. 
I think, I think at championship

291
00:14:54,240 --> 00:15:00,080
level he's been a little bit 
more successful from behind from

292
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,440
what I've seen. 
I've I've so that's something I 

293
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,480
guess. 
Probably not. 

294
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,320
Probably not favoured amongst 
referees. 

295
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,560
We're given his penis for moving
at the start as. 

296
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,600
Well, so it's it's one of those 
things though, when you die, but

297
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,120
when you live by the sword, you 
die by the sword and say if you 

298
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:23,120
if you're big shtick, he's 
making gates, you're you're 

299
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,480
going to be on on edge at that 
point, aren't you? 

300
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,960
Yeah, interesting. 
Fred Graham's just raised the 

301
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,920
point there. 
With greyhound racing being 

302
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,800
banned in Scotland and Wales 
with a few X Speedway venues. 

303
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,640
Be very worried if it happens in
England. 

304
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:43,720
Brough Park, Monmouth Blunden. 
Oh, I mean, The thing is that 

305
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,000
these should actually be 
opportunities. 

306
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,680
You should look at these as 
opportunities. 

307
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,880
People should be thinking, you 
know, the Greyhounds are worried

308
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,560
about maybe they'll sell that 
stadium, you know, right. 

309
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,120
But it, it, it, it's got it. 
Things have got to stop going 

310
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,040
for houses. 
Unfortunately, Speedway venues 

311
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,920
just for Speedway is viable. 
You come into question of 

312
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,760
viability, don't you? 
Unfortunately, then I'm told 

313
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,520
that Mama is is actually doing 
very well. 

314
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,200
It's doing a lot better than the
other track in the greyhound 

315
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,480
track in in Wolverhampton at 
Dunstall Park, which I'm sure 

316
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,280
you'll be, you'll be devastated 
about so. 

317
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,400
Yeah, just for those that don't 
know, that's where the 

318
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,200
greyhounds from Birmingham. 
Went yeah. 

319
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,800
Yeah. 
Yeah, and we will. 

320
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,320
We'll they will they match that 
in England, banning the 

321
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,640
greyhound racing, there's a lot 
of money in it. 

322
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,480
So it's one of those sports as 
well where you don't actually 

323
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,640
need a crowd because you can do 
it all, you can do it online, 

324
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,800
so. 
I don't know. 

325
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,560
And is it the right thing to do?
I know there are concerns about 

326
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,360
the actual safety of the 
greyhounds themselves, but 

327
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,040
surely there are other ways of 
doing that without people losing

328
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,520
their livelihood and but maybe 
that's too expensive. 

329
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,280
Who knows? 
Who knows? 

330
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,640
Well. 
The three in the three biggest 

331
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,839
cities in England, there's no 
greyhound tracks at all. 

332
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,400
There's none in Birmingham, none
in London, none in Manchester. 

333
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,920
So obviously now obviously the 
Bellevue one's gone. 

334
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,680
So which is our houses as we 
know so. 

335
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:24,720
Well, there's not many Speedway 
most places these days, which 

336
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,760
is. 
All doom. 

337
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,040
Yeah. 
Well, do you do you know what 

338
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,920
it's is it OK, so all. 
Doom and gloom any every. 

339
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,200
We've got this new thing, we've 
got Northampton. 

340
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:39,560
This isn't essentially, I know 
that they've had Speedway in the

341
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,920
past and Northampton, but it's 
essentially a new track and we 

342
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,160
have people like Phil Morris 
saying there are things in the 

343
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:52,760
pipeline, hinting at things and 
at being able to expand the 

344
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,400
league without ever telling us 
how that's going to happen. 

345
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,480
But, you know, maybe there's 
things we just have to keep our 

346
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,120
fingers crossed. 
Dave Twine says. 

347
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:04,680
Thought they had a big watching 
crowd from China. 

348
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,880
Do I have to say it like that? 
China Careful, yes. 

349
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,840
I'm going to be careful. 
Yeah, we're going to just take 

350
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,800
it off the air. 
No, I know. 

351
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,920
I'm going to be careful. 
Especially if I've got the 

352
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:21,200
Chinese neighbours. 
Oh, OK, yeah, I mean, that's the

353
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,880
greyhound. 
I'm better be talking about 

354
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,000
greyhounds. 
For for somebody who doesn't 

355
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,360
know so much about the history, 
yeah. 

356
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:30,240
What? 
What is Northampton's history in

357
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,080
Speedway? 
Limited, isn't it? 

358
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,640
Very limited. 
They've they've, they've run a 

359
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,160
team before, called the was it 
the Cobblers? 

360
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,720
Might have been. 
Somebody out there? 

361
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,720
You're going back to the 1960s, 
I think 67 was the last time. 

362
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,000
That was Speedway in 
Northampton. 

363
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,520
So it was a long that was only a
baby a long time ago. 

364
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,360
A long time ago. 
So they've, yeah. 

365
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:55,240
I mean, they've got no great 
fanbase to come to this, which 

366
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,840
is a bit worrying, which is why 
I think Nomads is what they they

367
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,360
should be looking at. 
So we're not expecting like big 

368
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,000
crowds or. 
Well, we, we're not, we don't 

369
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,360
know what to expect because you 
know, if, if they if for 

370
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,560
instance, they they turn around 
tomorrow and say, right, this is

371
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,000
our team. 
And by the way, Bartoks, 

372
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,920
Marshall, except number one, 
they get a big crowds, you know,

373
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,360
because people would, you know, 
particularly people from, I 

374
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:20,960
mean, but people from Birmingham
might turn up, people from 

375
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,640
Wolverhampton might turn up from
Coventry, but it's not that far 

376
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,000
away I think. 
I think it's a good place for 

377
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,720
mid, for Midlands fans. 
Obviously we know Midlands 

378
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,600
leader this year. 
Northampton's a reasonable 

379
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,520
distance away, isn't it so? 
Pete Clarke says Badgers. 

380
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,320
Is that what? 
Is that what they used to be 

381
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,720
called? 
I don't know but. 

382
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,640
As far as we know, Nigel 
Tolley's not going to be 

383
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,240
involved in Northampton, is I? 
Haven't heard nothing. 

384
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,520
As far as we know, Sir, I. 
Haven't heard anything at all 

385
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,440
but but nothing would surprise 
me at this point. 

386
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,520
He. 
Has been very quiet on social 

387
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,080
media. 
Haven't he? 

388
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,000
He has. 
He's been very quiet the whole 

389
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,080
since basically since the 
Birmingham finished. 

390
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Yeah, finished. 
So I. 

391
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,880
I, I, I've had a few people tell
me that things are being looked 

392
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,080
at, but I don't know what things
where and how and why is 

393
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,320
Northampton one of them, the 
Northampton Brummies? 

394
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:17,920
No, it's a bit. 
Too far around. 

395
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:26,440
Maybe not, maybe not. 
OK, so Tom Brennan started well.

396
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,320
Yes, when the when the Nicola 
clip mating, I think, I don't 

397
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,760
think he quite hit the heights 
last season with which that a 

398
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,760
lot of people were expecting. 
He had a very successful season 

399
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,560
with Birmingham. 
He's probably the along with 

400
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,720
Freddie Lingon, he's probably 
the brightest part of that 

401
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,520
season, wasn't he? 
He's like the only. 

402
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,160
Yeah, but I don't think there's 
any doubts. 

403
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,280
I mean, he's, you know, he's 
probably the next level down. 

404
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,240
You know, you look at the 
British surprise at the moment. 

405
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,760
Of course you've got Lamberton 
Buley tie. 

406
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,640
Obviously if he's if he gets his
fitness back and then you you 

407
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,160
look at someone like Tom Brennan
is probably the next next level 

408
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,640
down his knees, the next one of 
the. 

409
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,160
He needs to kick on the VIPs 
which are going to do any good. 

410
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,080
Yeah, he's going to be a big 
season with him this year 

411
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,040
because you know, he can't hide 
behind Salford's nothing to all 

412
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,080
this year. 
So he they need him to step up 

413
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,760
to the step up to the plate down
there. 

414
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,200
So it's going to be a big season
for him. 

415
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,400
So, and obviously now only as 
with the last few years, he's no

416
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,280
longer doing championship 
Speedway and. 

417
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,520
He's no longer an inexperienced 
up and coming rider, he's 

418
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,200
established now. 
Not a kid anymore. 

419
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,120
He's, you know, he's going to be
expected to do well. 

420
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,840
So I don't think he quite hit 
the hearts that I think a lot of

421
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,000
people were probably thinking he
would do it Ipswich, but 

422
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:43,000
obviously he played his part in 
what was a memorable season for 

423
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,960
him last year. 
Apparently the original 

424
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,280
Brafffield team from Northampton
were called the Flying Foxes and

425
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,480
they've disappeared. 
Sorry. 

426
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,520
Let me say that Can I go? 
The 1960s team were the Badgers.

427
00:21:56,360 --> 00:22:00,680
So there you go. 
Flying foxes are quite alike. 

428
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:04,800
Yeah. 
There you go. 

429
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,520
OK. 
Flying Fox was AVO funding. 

430
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,520
That was his nickname, wasn't 
it? 

431
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,800
I think really I. 
Think you would have used that, 

432
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:12,720
Sir? 
I think it was. 

433
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,280
OK, I'm sure. 
I've heard that someone, I'm 

434
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,280
sure there'll be a lot of the 
older fans will will remember 

435
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,440
that, I'm sure. 
I'm sure everyone was known as 

436
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,720
the Flying Fox. 
OK, so given the dearth of 

437
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,440
Speedway news, do you like that 
word? 

438
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,760
The dearth? 
Yeah. 

439
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,280
You've had a Dictionary of you 
I. 

440
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,440
Just swallowed it. 
Oh, it was a new name for the 

441
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,560
for Northampton. 
Sorry. 

442
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:40,800
Northampton dearth. 
So somebody will pick up on that

443
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,360
now that's a great. 
Northampton Dearth. 

444
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:49,080
Wow, that's. 
From now on, forever be called 

445
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,680
the Dearth. 
Wow, that's what Birmingham 

446
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,560
should have been called in the 
last few years. 

447
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,840
Joke joking aside though, I mean
the one thing I mean I said this

448
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,760
a couple of weeks ago. 
The one thing Birmingham 

449
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,960
Northampton can't afford. 
I mean last season isn't 

450
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,760
Birmingham season is a 
Birmingham season because 

451
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,160
Birmingham were awful last 
season. 

452
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,320
Oxford weren't much better. 
I think Birmingham were running 

453
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,560
in the league for Oxford to get 
points off last season because 

454
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,520
they were the only team they 
got. 

455
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,400
But the top five can't afford 
that this season. 

456
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,240
It needs Northampton not just to
be there to make the numbers, 

457
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,280
they need to be competitive 
because it's not going to work 

458
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,640
if they're not. 
Yeah, absolutely. 

459
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,960
I mean, even if they finish 
last, as long as it's they're 

460
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,320
in, they're in the mix to not 
finish last. 

461
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,280
Does that make sense? 
Yeah. 

462
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:33,120
I mean they, I mean, it's going 
to be tough for them initially 

463
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:35,760
because they're going to have no
harm drag advantage, you know, I

464
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,880
don't know whether there's going
to be any provisions given to 

465
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,400
them to, to practise on the 
track beforehand. 

466
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,640
I don't know what the geography 
of the area is. 

467
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,960
I don't know what sort of round 
there. 

468
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,600
I think from what I've seen on 
looking on Google Maps, it's, 

469
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,080
it's like it's quite far out 
from anywhere residential. 

470
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,200
Yeah, but it's a it's a big 
thing I think that they can't 

471
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,720
afford for them to just be, 
they're making up the numbers up

472
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,840
and getting thumped every week. 
That's not going to help 

473
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,880
anybody. 
It's not going to help them. 

474
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,880
It's not going to help British 
Speedway, not going to help the 

475
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,080
other teams either. 
So might do points wise but not 

476
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,840
for the products. 
Fred Graham says. 

477
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,080
I'm always positive and hopeful 
that Coventry, Swindon and 

478
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,560
Peterborough will be back within
the next two years. 

479
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,000
Agree on the greyhound stadium 
front. 

480
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,480
That should be making a play to 
use them by getting local MPs 

481
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,160
involved in retaining current 
sporting stadiums. 

482
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,400
Law in Scotland not allowed to 
let sporting stadiums sold for 

483
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,360
housing. 
I thought that was supposed to 

484
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:37,440
be that it it by slightly 
different in in England, not 

485
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:43,840
that they have to provide a 
similar level of sporting 

486
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,720
stadium or whatever it is 
somewhere else for people to 

487
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,320
use. 
I thought that was law. 

488
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:54,160
But there's been no, no sign of 
that. 

489
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,040
Brian Buck says the oh, there 
you go. 

490
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,240
The same. 
Do you know this Brian Buck? 

491
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,160
Yeah, I know. 
He knows the planning laws 

492
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,360
inside. 
Actually, I do. 

493
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,480
Yeah, he should do. 
Yeah, the same law exists in 

494
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,920
England too, Fred, but councils 
just ignore it. 

495
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,400
This is something which needs to
be answered. 

496
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,720
The Northampton track will be 
new to the away team. 

497
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,160
Also true, but which? 
Yeah, it's still it is a. 

498
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,480
Leveller. 
It is a leveller, isn't it? 

499
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,400
So I'm. 
I'm very, very, I mean, where 

500
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,440
are we now? 
March the 24th, 4th? 

501
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,760
And when's their first match 
supposed to end of April? 

502
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,320
End of April, isn't it? 
On 30th, I think it's, I think 

503
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,440
it's going to be on base. 
And isn't it? 

504
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,640
I think that actually in the 
first meeting there, which is 

505
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,040
against King's Lynn, I think, 
OK, so I'm sure there's going to

506
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,640
be a lot of people getting the 
strain for that one. 

507
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,400
I would think so. 
And a lot of people will turn, 

508
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,840
will turn up and go to it 
because it's a new track and. 

509
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,480
Well, we don't know what what 
night it's going to be. 

510
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,200
Is it going to be a Wednesday, 
Monday night or is it going to 

511
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,200
be a Thursday night? 
I would guess it's going to be a

512
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,160
Thursday, Monday's night. 
It's probably not. 

513
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,200
It's far from being an ideal 
night if you want if you want to

514
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,880
track kids there, obviously with
the Thursday's not much better 

515
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,600
admittedly, but. 
Yeah, you can. 

516
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,920
Yeah, you can phone in sick, I 
suppose. 

517
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,720
I never said that Clint's 
meeting was a four team 

518
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,920
tournament. 
Brennan was riding for Paul. 

519
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,560
Yes, obviously there was a wolf 
term in it as well. 

520
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,520
So obviously in all of his, the 
majority of his experts. 

521
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,640
Teams, this is this is an 
interesting, very interesting 

522
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,240
question coming up. 
Do you think with fuel prices 

523
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,800
keep going up and up because of 
what's going on in the Middle 

524
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,520
East, it could affect emission 
prices in Speedway? 

525
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,480
I've never known stadiums to 
increase prices after the season

526
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:48,600
has started. 
It's a possibility that is. 

527
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,600
It's going to affect the riders 
wage packets more than anything 

528
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,280
because of getting to and from 
meetings. 

529
00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:00,080
I don't know. 
I would imagine they will do 

530
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:06,200
everything that they can not to 
and once it's all blown over and

531
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,720
it will blow over at some point,
the prices will eventually start

532
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,960
going back to some sort of 
reasonable level. 

533
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,880
But it's certainly something to 
keep an eye on, no? 

534
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,680
I agree, I think Trump's been 
told what to do anyway. 

535
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,040
Who, boy? 
Who's he been? 

536
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,360
Talking about the people, not 
about. 

537
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,680
You. 
The people that own him, I think

538
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,720
so. 
I think it will blow over. 

539
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,280
I mean, not without getting to 
political tacker. 

540
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,520
Trump always chickens out. 
There you go. 

541
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,400
That's that is a thing. 
Of course, apparently. 

542
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,760
OK. 
Oh, current Ben fund lineup. 

543
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,840
We was going to look at the Ben.
Thank you very much, Fred, 

544
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,560
because we were just about to 
have a look at that. 

545
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,320
Just the ones they've already 
announced. 

546
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,840
Harris, Kilderman, Brennan. 
Howarth, Sedgman, Morris, 

547
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,320
Zischke. 
I don't know how to never know 

548
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,520
how to pronounce that. 
Zischk, Dan. 

549
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,440
Thompson, Danny. 
King Ellis jokes and Palavara. 

550
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,160
Decent line this not yeah, 
obviously it's for a great 

551
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,800
'cause as well. 
You know the, the Ben Fund 2009,

552
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,360
I think it started, it's been, 
it's obviously moved around the 

553
00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:21,600
tracks. 
I think it was before then 

554
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,480
because I'm pretty sure that 
they they did it when Birmingham

555
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,360
first started in 2007, so I 
could be wrong and somebody will

556
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,480
bound to tell me. 
Birmingham did have what I think

557
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,840
was it 2013 Birmingham stage he 
might be in 20. 1320. 12 

558
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,080
something like that launch yeah.
So because I think Nicky Bedson 

559
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,720
when he didn't know, because 
Nicky was a big fan of the 

560
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,440
Birmingham track, I think he. 
Well, he always seemed to ride 

561
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,040
it well. 
Yeah. 

562
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,880
OK, so let's pick a winner out 
of that. 

563
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,640
You've got to. 
You've got to say that Brennan's

564
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:59,160
going to have a chance. 
Bomber, you'd have to say in 

565
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,440
Glasgow. 
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 

566
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,600
Yeah, definitely. 
I'll definitely attract that on 

567
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,000
my list of tracks to try and get
to Glasgow. 

568
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,160
It's a long all wide. 
I think it's worth it's a 

569
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,560
fantastic track though. 
I mean that obviously that 

570
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,520
championship player final second
leg last season was phenomenal. 

571
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,680
The second semi final against 
Edinburgh as well. 2 great 

572
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:24,200
mansions yeah, Bomber should be 
should be. 

573
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,800
They never roll Bomber off. 
Obviously he knows the track 

574
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,000
inside out. 
Carl out, of course, he's got 

575
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,320
plenty of experience that 
Glasgow as well as is Dan 

576
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,680
Thompson. 
Yeah, so. 

577
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:44,440
Dare I say him, Morris? 
He he was, he did OK last season

578
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,640
because he came in for the last 
few weeks, last few weeks of the

579
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,160
season after his after his ban, 
he got back into it, you know, 

580
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,280
reasonably quickly, didn't he? 
So I mean, he'll, he'll be able 

581
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,680
to Trump put that behind him 
this season and sort of crack on

582
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,720
and, and sort of get back to 
where he was maybe 5-6 years ago

583
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,280
when he looked a really 
promising rider. 

584
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,240
And he never really built on 
that, did he, Sir? 

585
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:09,400
No, he didn't. 
I mean, I think I think 2019 and

586
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,760
20 yeah, the the the whole COVID
thing came at the wrong time 

587
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,080
for. 
Yeah, I think, I think you can 

588
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,640
say that about a lot of people 
in Spadeway, quite a few clubs 

589
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,600
in Spadeway as well. 
That card we didn't. 

590
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,600
That didn't help, did it? 
Did not help at all I think. 

591
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:28,280
It helped Birmingham. 
No, nothing did. 

592
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,840
Yeah, but obviously you, you're 
going to pick a winner out of 

593
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,640
that. 
You, you then. 

594
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,840
And then they turn around and 
say, Oh yeah, Jason Doyle's 

595
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,080
coming in. 
Yeah, it's difficult. 

596
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,720
It's difficult really because 
you don't know the fault line, 

597
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,840
but I think it's 13 riders an 
ounce, so none of the and the 

598
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,520
Ryan's coming down again. 
OK. 

599
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,440
We was talking last year about 
what's happened to Nora and 

600
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,040
April 25th Nora meeting at 
Mildenall, Mildenall versus 

601
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,320
Peterborough and Panthers versus
Rye House. 

602
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,120
Yeah, it'd be good to say good 
following the Peter fans. 

603
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,320
You know, there's obviously 
still noises being made about 

604
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,160
the Panthers, about whether they
can maybe find a way back, 

605
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,440
whether that's at the showground
or whether I think it's. 

606
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,920
I think realistically the 
showground is probably still 

607
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,880
their best opportunity, even 
though the plan is still to, you

608
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,720
know, to get rid to demolish it.
But that seems to have hit a 

609
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,040
brick wall now, doesn't it? 
So. 

610
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,920
OK, so this is an interesting 
topic that Eric Parsons has 

611
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,000
brought up. 
Says can we start a topic on 

612
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
engine manufacturers? 
Consider it started. 

613
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,240
My blood boils as more go fast 
qualification components come 

614
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,240
in. 
I think the powers that be in 

615
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,040
the UK should start banning 
certain components. 

616
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,800
Is that feasible for it to just 
be done in the UK then? 

617
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,560
No. 
You'd have to. 

618
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,040
You'd have to approve it, 
wouldn't they? 

619
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,080
Yeah. 
I'm all for them making the 

620
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,640
bikes as standard as they 
possibly can. 

621
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,760
One of the biggest things 
advantages that we have over 

622
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,800
other Motorsports is, is the 
pureness of the racing. 

623
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,040
It's it's about the the rider 
making the difference in a lot 

624
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,240
of cases. 
And and I still say that this 

625
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:19,240
sport is better than at that 
than any other motorsport. 

626
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,880
Can you go watch the Mario 
racing in Formula One? 

627
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,840
Yeah, I mean, Chris Van, I 
remember Chris Van Stratton was 

628
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,360
always very much, you know, in 
favour of standardising 

629
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,160
equipment, but. 
It's got to be. 

630
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,080
You can't. 
Just do it. 

631
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,400
You can't just do it in the UK. 
You've got everybody else has 

632
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,400
got to agree to it, 
unfortunately. 

633
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,720
Because otherwise that puts it 
up. 

634
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,960
Because if you, that puts the 
price of things up for the 

635
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,600
riders then because if you could
have different components in 

636
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,720
Poland, in the UK and in 
Denmark. 

637
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,360
And what? 
It's more stuff that I've got to

638
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,640
buy, not less stuff. 
So I, I like the idea of, of 

639
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,480
making bikes as standard as 
possible and, and banning 

640
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:54,840
things. 
But it's got to be done 

641
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,920
worldwide, otherwise it just 
doesn't work. 

642
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,840
Yeah. 
Comments popped out. 

643
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:06,480
Pardon. 
You got the pop out. 

644
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:07,080
Sorry. 
OK. 

645
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,240
Yeah, everybody's giving us lots
of stuff. 

646
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,120
Yeah. 
Yeah, Perry Parsons, Sorry, my 

647
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,800
spelling got a bit annoyed as 
well. 

648
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,800
We, we yeah, we got that, we got
that. 

649
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,280
Fred Graham says Nick Morris has
won a League Riders championship

650
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,440
at Ashfield so could be a die 
board. 

651
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,400
Brian Buck says the Northampton 
track is big and wide and should

652
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,720
produce some good racing. 
When Speedway last ran there in 

653
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,680
the 1960s, this track had been 
tarmacked and a new small track 

654
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,360
was laid inside. 
But I thought it was too small 

655
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,800
and much too much too far away 
from the spectators and the 

656
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:52,320
racing looked very slow. 
Yeah, I haven't actually seen a 

657
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,320
a quote of how what the size of 
the the track is. 

658
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,120
So I'm guessing so it's going to
be. 

659
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,800
Within the confines of what 
they've got at the venue, 

660
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:00,960
haven't they? 
I mean, it looks like it's a 

661
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,760
decent venue. 
There's, I know there's quite a 

662
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,440
bit of money being spent on it 
in in race and stages and. 

663
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,120
And the track, the shape of the 
track looks nice from what I've 

664
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,239
seen. 
My my worry about that course is

665
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,360
that it's sharing it with with 
the stock cars and that's been 

666
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,480
problematic in different tracks.
Yeah, it's bringing back 

667
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,199
memories of Birmingham in the 
80s. 

668
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,600
Perhaps boards? 
There was it was an interesting 

669
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,960
time we had, I've told you this 
story before. 

670
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,159
We used we had a a whole that 
all our riders knew where it was

671
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:34,280
on the first bend and the tapes 
had got. 

672
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,400
Do you remember it? 
It's. 

673
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:40,239
A great story. 
And all the riders can't go from

674
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,040
the tapes and our riders are 
being in 3rd and 4th and just 

675
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,480
Biden the time waiting for the 
the other two riders to hit the 

676
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,120
hole and just zip up the inside 
of them and and every time we'd 

677
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,159
all go is that. 
Is that illegal? 

678
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:53,440
No. 
Or. 

679
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,320
Well, it was the track. 
I mean, I think possibly riders 

680
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,120
now wouldn't ride on that. 
It's a it's a time really, 

681
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,000
because when you look at some of
the footage from earlier in the 

682
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,600
in our season, it looked like it
was a really good race track. 

683
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,400
It was. 
It wasn't a bad track as well. 

684
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,040
Yeah, I mean, the stadium wasn't
great, but, well, what I think 

685
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,320
it was a stadium. 
Was it really? 

686
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:18,280
It was just a, you know. 
Track in the field, so in 

687
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,240
Bordesley Green, totally great, 
Fred Brown says. 

688
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:22,360
I think one of the best meetings
in the. 

689
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,920
UK this season could be the 
British under 21 final. 

690
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,960
Decent group already seeded. 
Yes, and. 

691
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,800
I was looking at that. 
That does look and we have it's 

692
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,120
it's that's a. 
Red car, isn't it the all? 

693
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:36,840
Right. 
Yeah, it's. 

694
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,720
We have a good group of British 
talent, have for a few years now

695
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
coming up and coming up and 
coming up. 

696
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,200
And it's it's ironic that 
there's less and less places for

697
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,920
them to ride. 
Yeah, it's a shame. 

698
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,000
You know I. 
Mean there's a lot of noise 

699
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,720
we've made. 
Over the years about Denmark and

700
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,720
and Denmark, we're bringing some
great rides through it once and 

701
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:01,280
that doesn't seem, that doesn't 
seem to be quite happening so 

702
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,240
much now. 
I think. 

703
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:07,120
You'd have to say after Poland, 
we've after Poland and probably 

704
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,520
we've got the the next best 
batch of riders. 

705
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,600
It's just a shame, of course, 
it's just that we're losing all 

706
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,320
the tracks between US and 
Australia. 

707
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,000
I guess you would. 
Say on that one, but. 

708
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,360
OK, well. 
I think have we caught up with 

709
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:28,480
all the finally caught up? 
That's cool, Ian Cook says. 

710
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,520
We run stock car at Scunthorpe 
and we have no issues. 

711
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,200
I yeah, I. 
Beg for that. 

712
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,880
We'll we'll, we'll finish this 
this section of the show on this

713
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,960
because it's just made me laugh.
Northampton team this year, 

714
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,120
Briggs, Pennell, Hancock, 
Hamill, Orson, the new Dad's 

715
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,560
Army. 
That's only 5. 

716
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,880
Riders I. 
Know yeah, so looks. 

717
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,520
Rubbish team anyway. 
It'll probably win. 

718
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,120
We just. 
That's five riders. 

719
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:06,200
In their pomp, anyway. 
OK, so we've got some Speedway 

720
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,880
matches to look for, to look 
forward to this week. 

721
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,640
Yep, we we hope, we hope Getting
a bit windy out and I can hear 

722
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,720
the wind. 
Wishing rounds at the moment, so

723
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,000
first of all, can we? 
Look at what the league position

724
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,040
is in the You haven't done this,
have you? 

725
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,600
Prediction league. 
Prediction League you haven't 

726
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,240
done 1. 
Have you? 

727
00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:24,680
No, I haven't. 
Who? 

728
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:26,160
Who would be at the top? 
Right there. 

729
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,600
Well, I'm at the top actually. 
Oh, is that right? 

730
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:31,520
Alphabetically, I'll say your 
second. 

731
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,640
Alphabetically you so. 
You got the result. 

732
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,520
I've got the wrong 1 and I'm 
like you've got the. 

733
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:36,880
Result right as well. 
Yeah, so. 

734
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,280
You haven't. 
You haven't done it. 

735
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,280
Updated. 
I haven't done it. 

736
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,560
Updated. 
No, unfortunately. 

737
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,320
It wasn't, I think. 
It was really worth it, was it? 

738
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,080
Just after one meeting I was 
being hyper hyper efficient. 

739
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,720
And I got the previous one. 
There we go, Just because I 

740
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:50,520
would be at the. 
Top. 

741
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,120
And just because I'll be at the 
top, you haven't produced one. 

742
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,320
Let's be honest, it's the only 
time ever in the history of this

743
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,600
thing anyway. 
But. 

744
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,360
We have got two matches on. 
Week 2. 

745
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,000
Right. 
What should we? 

746
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,840
Go through what we've got coming
up. 

747
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:11,240
OK then so. 
Right, so the first. 

748
00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:17,760
One is BSN. 
Series North and that is on 

749
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,040
Friday I believe. 
Yes. 

750
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,600
On Friday, that's red Car. 
Against Scunthorpe. 

751
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,040
So that's that's obviously. 
The return leg? 

752
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,320
Yep. 
Since you're top of the league. 

753
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:33,720
No, you wish you hadn't said 
that. 

754
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:35,920
It's all right. 
You can go first. 

755
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,640
I've gone. 
Red car by 6. 

756
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,960
Red car by. 10 Now if I've got 
to memorise all this so that I 

757
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,680
can put it online, you've 
already put it on, haven't you? 

758
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:47,560
I've not. 
OK, what? 

759
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:55,320
You put Oh dear, this is right. 
Just bear with this one minute. 

760
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:01,200
You have gone for worry. 
That I'll have to tell you what.

761
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,440
You've gone for You've gone for 
red car to win by 30, have I? 

762
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:08,120
What? 
What? 

763
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,640
That's obviously a mistake, but 
I'll I'll stick with it. 

764
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,440
Take your first score first. 
Of course you won't see the 

765
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:19,040
other one you put. 
Oh, you really do wait, you 

766
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,600
won't see. 
Can I alter them there? 

767
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,720
We only take. 
Your first one so obviously. 

768
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:26,960
I didn't know what I was doing, 
Yeah. 

769
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,120
Obviously. 
I'm gonna go red car by 10, 

770
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,600
which would be make of it. 
That's what I would have gone. 

771
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,600
Yeah, write it down. 
Because I've I've sent you the 

772
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,200
link. 
As well, so you can put it on 

773
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,760
there. 
So OK, so the next one is the 

774
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,600
first meeting in the top flight 
this season after all the fun 

775
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,200
and games we've had, and that's 
Bellevue against Sheffield. 

776
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,920
That's up to you. 
Has he? 

777
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,200
Already done it. 
I have. 

778
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:50,960
Haven't I? 
Yeah. 

779
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,520
What's it? 
What's his prediction? 

780
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,640
Well, I'll go for mine first. 
I've gone for Bellevue. 

781
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,520
By 14, OK. 
I would have gone for Bellevue 

782
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,920
by. 12 But what have I thought 
I'll be by 9000. 

783
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:05,400
You'll like you'll like this 
one. 

784
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,000
You've gone for Bellevue 70, 
Sheffield 20. 

785
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:14,840
Yeah, no. 
I'll definitely go no, when you 

786
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,720
were saying about you were 
surprised about me. 

787
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,400
Not me getting the technology 
right. 

788
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,240
Oh yeah, no, I I didn't know 
what I. 

789
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:23,120
Was doing, but actually I'll say
Bellevue. 

790
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,560
By 12, the story of my life. 
Though. 

791
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,120
Oh. 
OK. 

792
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:32,560
Go on then. 
Only two matches. 

793
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,480
Only two matches yet so as I say
Saturdays we'll see week 3 

794
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,600
postage and then we'll go back 
to as we do it normally with the

795
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,840
fixtures posted on Saturday 
mornings if you want to put 

796
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:50,320
your. 
Predictions up on the shout. 

797
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,200
Box so that we can. 
Laugh at them like we laugh at 

798
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,680
Chris's. 
Yeah, I've had a few stuff I've 

799
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,840
had. 10. 10 people put their 
predictions on already, so there

800
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,640
is this new system going to be. 
Easier for you, Yeah. 

801
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:04,480
Yeah, Well. 
It's it the? 

802
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,720
Hobbit was the, the, the, the 
time consuming of it was reading

803
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:09,280
through all the comments and 
getting all the scores because 

804
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,880
people used to put them in 
different places, but they're 

805
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,720
all going into the same place 
now and they're all on a 

806
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:14,720
spreadsheet. 
So, but we'd still like to get 

807
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:18,040
your comments. 
Up on the the shout box as well,

808
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,360
30% of you, 30%. 
Of 3/3 of you have gone for 4941

809
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:27,320
for the red car meeting on 
Friday and there's a. 

810
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,080
Bit of a mixture. 
On the few people have gone for 

811
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,120
fifty 4050 to 38, a few people 
have gone for Sheffield to win 

812
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,560
comfortably as well. 
It's gone Sheffield 38, Bellevue

813
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,720
52. 
So Yep. 

814
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,120
So that's all. 
On there so. 

815
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,880
Yep. 
So myself, Barry Simon, Dave 

816
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,120
Twine, John Turner, Julie 
Turner, Rich Thomas, Webbie, 

817
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,680
Jeff Daniels and Andrew Andrew 
Green all put theirs on so far. 

818
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,960
So keep them coming, keep 
putting them on, and we'll 

819
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,520
obviously keep you up to date on
that. 

820
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:02,200
Dave Twins put, 5040. 743 and 
5040, can we actually put the 

821
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,880
link on the share box as well? 
You've done it OK? 

822
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:06,880
Yeah, I did it earlier. 
I did it earlier. 

823
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:07,800
Didn't you? 
Yeah, yeah. 

824
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:08,600
I have put it. 
I have. 

825
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,560
I did put it on. 
Yeah, I'll, I'll try and find it

826
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,040
again and I'll put it back, 
repost it and so. 

827
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,960
It's there. 
OK. 

828
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,960
I'll just put it on. 
I'll just put it on. 

829
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,800
OK. 
I'll highlight it then. 

830
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,720
Yeah, OK. 
Right, Fred Graham. 

831
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:27,200
Has just said right what he 
would. 

832
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,840
I see stock cars not running at 
odds all this year. 

833
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,640
Maybe a chance for BSP or to 
contact them and run a couple of

834
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:41,200
trial meetings. 
I'm I'm I'm not convinced. 

835
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,360
About Bradford as a for league, 
certainly for league racing, 

836
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,480
because I think anybody who's 
been there will know it's a huge

837
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,520
stadium. 
I mean, they got when they were 

838
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,960
out in the 90s. 
I mean, they always had good 

839
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:55,000
teams there. 
Yeah, they probably they well. 

840
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,040
They probably had. 
They probably had. 

841
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,240
Very good crowds, but the 
problem is they were all over 

842
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:00,360
the stadium and you were just 
lost in that place. 

843
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,120
They had two great, obviously 
they had two great world finals 

844
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:10,040
there in in 85 and 90, but you 
know it. 

845
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,000
It's potentially, you know it 
is, but you know there's. 

846
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,920
A lot of potential. 
I think we do need another major

847
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,720
venue in this country. 
I mean, obviously Bellevue at 

848
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:20,520
the moment. 
I'll see there's there's a few 

849
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,720
grumbles that Bellevue got the 
British final again, but you 

850
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:25,920
know, I'll do where else would 
it go at this moment? 

851
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,280
It's the. 
Age-old question, isn't it? 

852
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,040
Where I suppose. 
King's Lynn would be the other, 

853
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,440
yeah. 
Glasgow obviously to be. 

854
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,720
At the sticks, of course, If 
you're living down the South, 

855
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:35,760
maybe. 
Maybe. 

856
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:41,480
I know there's been. 
Some, you know, some riders. 

857
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,400
Have suggested maybe having it 
as a sort of like a Grand Prix 

858
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,600
series where you have 3 or 4 
rounds of different tracks could

859
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,080
do that I suppose. 
Would that be? 

860
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,120
Attractive gives. 
Gives from people. 

861
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,320
Across the country, an 
opportunity to see a British 

862
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,320
Championship meeting, doesn't 
it? 

863
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,360
So and we've got a few more 
comments on SO. 369 yards. 

864
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,080
Apparently the Northampton. 
Track, Yeah, Thank you for that.

865
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,640
And Dino says the shale has been
removed from Oddsle. 

866
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:16,840
Yeah, it has. 
So you're not going to just get 

867
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,880
do it. 
Maybe too far in the past as. 

868
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,880
Well, I mean, it's, it's got to 
be at least 97. 

869
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,160
I think that last stage has been
there. 

870
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,120
So it's a long old time. 
It's nearly 30 years so. 

871
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,960
It's it's a big ask. 
To sort of go over there, 

872
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,880
they're still, you know, they're
still, you know, I'll still see 

873
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,160
a lot of Bradford funds online 
that are hopeful are back going 

874
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,960
back. 
So and the other thing as well, 

875
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,640
and Pete Clarks is actually put 
this on as well. 

876
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,400
No motor sport is also because 
the now that the rugby's back, I

877
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,440
think there are rules now that 
they're not allowed to have 

878
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,760
second. 
Sport so as. 

879
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,840
Always a second sport, so that 
would probably rule as any 

880
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,440
possible. 
Is that a rugby roller? 

881
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,760
I think it's AI think it's. 
Rugby league rule, I think 

882
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,320
they're a bit stricter. 
I think they're a bit stricter 

883
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,440
on that than any other sport. 
So I think that's a bit short 

884
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,840
sighted, yeah. 
Because they've gone in the 

885
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,800
same. 
As Dave trying to say, Bradford 

886
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,160
balls are now in the Super 
League so. 

887
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,680
So there is nowhere. 
Central. 

888
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:16,240
You could have a Grand Prix 
Northampton. 

889
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,080
Is that the? 
Most central, yeah. 

890
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,120
Probably is the most central. 
Track now, isn't it? 

891
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:25,720
Probably you only want the one 
really is Leicester. 

892
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:29,040
Isn't it so the the the? 
Viewing. 

893
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,480
Facilities there for it's. 
Not can take a big crowd. 

894
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,160
Isn't it really? 
I don't know what their. 

895
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,560
Maximum. 
I just as I say I've been. 

896
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,720
To Leicester a couple of times 
and I've, you know, it's a nice 

897
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:43,960
little set up there, but I just 
I just think looking at some of 

898
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:45,840
the spice that's around it, they
probably could have done 

899
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,240
something so much more with that
really could have made a bigger 

900
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:49,640
track with maybe bigger 
facilities. 

901
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:54,000
So just felt like it was all 
sort of sort of crammed into. 

902
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,080
The IT sort of. 
Crammed into a corner, isn't it 

903
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,080
so as I. 
Say, I mean, obviously. 

904
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,920
As we, you know, we've obviously
they've obviously had their own 

905
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,920
problems this summer, winter. 
I've known with the the break 

906
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,120
insurance. 
The break insurance. 

907
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,880
Yeah, you. 
Heard that they got how much 

908
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,440
they, I think I mentioned it 
last week. 

909
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,840
They did a GoFundMe page to to 
raise, I think it was 10,000. 

910
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,920
Last time I looked at it had 
raised 13,000. 

911
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,480
I don't know what it is. 
Yeah, that's pretty good. 

912
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,480
Excellent. 
I think that would. 

913
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,920
That will hopefully we'll we'll 
see them right. 

914
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,480
But yeah. 
Excellent. 

915
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:32,000
I hope so. 
So. 

916
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,800
World we live in, I'm afraid. 
Yeah, so. 

917
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,120
So we're sort of getting into 
that mode there called Oxford 

918
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,760
and Coventry. 
That's obviously on Wednesday 

919
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,400
the 1st of April. 
That's going to be challenge 

920
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,800
meeting. 
Obviously we touched on that on 

921
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,280
that earlier. 
So I'll be great to see some 

922
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,520
Coventry fans. 
I'm sure they will, but I'm sure

923
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,640
there'll be plenty. 
You know, there's a huge, still 

924
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,280
a huge demand I think for split 
by Coventry, regardless of what 

925
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:02,520
brand in the States keep telling
us there's no, there's no demand

926
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:07,240
for Speedway commentary anymore.
So obviously the, as you know, 

927
00:47:07,240 --> 00:47:10,400
the reputation just confirming 
they're just talking about 

928
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:15,480
Coventry, the local plan. 
Representations have been. 

929
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:21,000
Submitted to Rugby or a council.
Their own document today has 

930
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,760
included 1700 names, which is a 
significant increase on the 

931
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,360
previous consultation last year 
does not take into account 

932
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,080
further responses which were 
sent directly to Rugby Borough 

933
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,880
Council. 
So we can confirm that the 

934
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,120
consortium have recently made an
offer from Brandon Stadium and 

935
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,040
are awaiting a response from 
Brandon, The States. 

936
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,800
The other was submitted by a 
Global Real Estate Advisors 

937
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:47,160
advising Young on behalf of the 
consortium during February 2026.

938
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,080
This completely refused rebukes 
evidence presented before and 

939
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,600
during last week's planning 
committee regarding Swindon's 

940
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,920
Abbey Stadium where it was 
stated by agents. 

941
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,120
DPB Planning. 
Since the dismissal of the 

942
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,360
Brandon appeal 2 years ago, no 
interested parties have come 

943
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,160
forward with an offer to 
purchase the site. 

944
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,280
We'd also like to warmly 
congratulate our friends at 

945
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,560
Swindon Need Speedway after the 
unanimous refusal of those 

946
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,800
planning applications at the 
Abbey Stadium. 

947
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,320
The schemes submitted by DPB are
also planning agents for branded

948
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,640
estates sought to replace the 
historic venue with housing and 

949
00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:24,640
associated facilities such as 
paddle courts and cricket Nets. 

950
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,000
But he was thrown out mainly due
to the revocable loss of a 

951
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,080
stadium that the plans would 
entail, with clear parallels to 

952
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,520
be drawn with a brandedness case
where the displacement of the 

953
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:38,120
established motorsport uses by 
housing and a 3G football pitch 

954
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,960
were correctly deemed to be 
unacceptable. 

955
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,720
So still. 
Still a lot of work. 

956
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:48,360
Being done I mean, you know I 
mean, obviously we had Jeff 

957
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,040
Davis on the show two or three 
years ago. 

958
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,560
I mean, I know I know from from 
Jeff's perspective, this has 

959
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,400
always become a full time job in
there. 

960
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,480
But you know, they haven't left 
the stone turned him and and 

961
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,080
Dave Rowe as well. 
Obviously Dave Rowe is heavily 

962
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,440
involved in this. 
Probably not as hopefully 

963
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,080
involved as Jeff is, but yeah, 
they've, you know, no stone has 

964
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,560
been leftover turn boy. 
And I've said this, you know, 

965
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,480
many times. 
I think it's still in the 

966
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,080
balance as to whether they will 
get back. 

967
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,960
But I think if anybody's capable
of getting that place back, they

968
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,120
will they. 
Deserve it as well for. 

969
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,720
The work that they've put into 
it, they've been absolutely. 

970
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,520
Tireless and and just on it the 
whole time. 

971
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,440
Well, there you go. 
That's a positive note. 

972
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,200
We'll, we'll, we'll finish on on
one more positive note, I think,

973
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,560
which is Pete Clark would like 
to remind us all that Boxton is 

974
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,840
central, of course. 
Yeah. 

975
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,040
And it's just. 
Over a week isn't it before the 

976
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,120
IT is? 
Will you be going to that one? 

977
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,840
I know you've said you're going 
to be maybe doing a few bucks. 

978
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,040
Tonight I'm going to try and get
down to Buxton. 

979
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,160
Down. 
Yeah. 

980
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,280
Down across to across. 
Yeah, I'm going to try and get 

981
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,840
get to Buxton. 
The other works a couple of 

982
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,080
times at least this year when 
it's a little bit warmer, maybe.

983
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,920
Is it ever warmer? 
There, well, I said warm and not

984
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:06,280
warm. 
Yeah, see some of my mates from 

985
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,160
Birmingham there as well, 
because some of the guys there, 

986
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:10,360
well, it's effectively the same 
team, isn't it? 

987
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,920
It's the same team that worked 
on the on the Birmingham tracks 

988
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,080
that are going to be working 
there and they've done a lot of 

989
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:16,120
work up there as well, haven't 
they? 

990
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,960
And obviously we've seen the 
photos that Lawrences post it on

991
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,600
Facebook every week there. 
Looks good, looks better than it

992
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,920
did. 
Yeah, so before to be, yeah, 

993
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,640
I'll send the pictures, Yeah, 
yeah, so. 

994
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,040
Well done there guys. 
I'm sure Pete's getting them all

995
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:34,280
whipped into shape. 
Pardon, Yes, that was just that 

996
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:35,960
you. 
You was dreaming again, Chris, 

997
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,680
when you said Box I. 
Think you said boxing? 

998
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:47,000
I think we better go. 
Don't look at that clock, that's

999
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,120
wrong. 
No, no, don't ever look. 

1000
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,000
Don't ever look at that clock a 
bit lighter. 

1001
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,040
Didn't we need to according to 
that clock? 

1002
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:57,920
Yeah, sometimes it feels like 
it's. 

1003
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,880
As I said earlier. 
It's not been a great week for 

1004
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:06,520
lots and lots of Speedway news, 
which is not what you would 

1005
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:11,760
expect the 20th of March. 
Yeah. 

1006
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,960
We would be looking now to be 
saying, well, they're doing well

1007
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,400
and theirs are doing better than
they expected And and and didn't

1008
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,400
this rider where he's gone down 
a bit and all of that sort of 

1009
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,560
stuff. 
But none of that's happened 

1010
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:27,720
because we've had one meeting. 
Obviously this week we'll have 

1011
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:30,120
two meetings. 
And then, but obviously by next 

1012
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,080
week, we all have had a few 
more, There's a few more 

1013
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:33,960
meetings coming up and we'll be 
having a look at things like 

1014
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:35,760
that as well. 
And of course, we've got the 

1015
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,600
Easter period coming up, which 
is really when it start sort of 

1016
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,200
cracks off, yeah. 
All been well, my first. 

1017
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,680
Meeting will be at Bellevue. 
I'm hoping to go up to Bellevue 

1018
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,560
for the Easter Monday meeting 
where I believe they're racing 

1019
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,920
against Leicester Knockout Cup 
match. 

1020
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:50,800
OK, that might be indeed 
interesting. 

1021
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,440
I believe it's a group, so It's 
A Knockout cup. 

1022
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,240
But it's in a group, so it's 
strictly not knockout. 

1023
00:51:54,600 --> 00:52:00,480
Yeah, it's Knockout. 
Only in Speedway, with a few few

1024
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,640
new words, it's the. 
Knockout. 

1025
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:10,800
OK, well we will see you guys 
next week have you say All 

1026
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:16,760
opinions here today. 
Welcome to the Speedway timer. 

1027
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:25,680
Enjoy your stay waiting GA. 
Amen. 

1028
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:31,520
I'm here today. 
Welcome to the Speedway timer.
