Ipswitch Season Tickets – Break All Records
Season ticket sales for the 2010 speedway season have broken all previous records!
Speedway Manager Chris Louis: We are obviously delighted at the level of season ticket sales reached so far – I think this is down to the attractive nature of the team that we have announced for 2010 and also excitement at the prospect of even more thrilling racing due to the re-modelling of the Foxhall circuit.

ANDREW TULLY out with broken pelvis !!
03.08.09 News ANDREW OUT WITH A BROKEN PELVIS
Andrew Tully visited Hospital today and received the shock news that he has broken his pelvis, which almost certainly brings his season to an end.
The crashes at Armadale on 24th July and at Wolverhampton on Monday have both probably contributed to the injury. Andrew walked in to Hospital today which amazed the medical staff, who thought he had done the impossible!

Speedway-Blog — New and Improved
Okay well as I said before Speedway-Blog went totally downhill from its already quiet state. With no new posts and no time for me to work on improving and advertising the site I was at a loss on what to do.
I put the site up for sale and had hoped to sell it and allow someone to do the work to improve it. Noone bought as you can tell. Again I left the site but have now decided to once again get back to work.

Speedway-Blog.co.uk
Okay after so little work and users coming into the system I have decided that I am going to use the site for my own speedway blogging.
I may not be able to post very often but I will try.
Over the next few days/weeks I will be sorting the site out fully so that it is how I want it.
so far i have got it from 2.2 up to 2.8.2 for Wordpress and rethemed it to a more satisfactory theme.
