Edward Kennett silences the doubters by being the only rider to show up and romping to an untroubled maximum.

Tracy Holmes pays tribute to former Wimbledon and Cradley rider Bob Andrews who passed away last weekend. He was 90 years old and, although he was English, had lived in New Zealand since the 1960s.

Bob is pictured with Greg Hancock in 2012.

@dj587108 @FoxesSpeedway @SpeedwayLions Great result for the @FoxesSpeedway tonight, five different race winners and Luke Harrison due back soon to strengthen them further. A few more performances like that and the fans will be happy enough.

[Speedway Plus @_SpeedwayPlus_]

Crowd at @FoxesSpeedway looks larger than for their second meeting? No doubt boosted by travelling @SpeedwayLions fans, but encouraging nonetheless.

@dj587108 @FoxesSpeedway @SpeedwayLions Still time for the traditional mid-season recruitment of Lewi Kerr, Craig Cook, Justin Sedgmen and Ben Barker.

@_SpeedwayPlus_ @STEPHEN25317587 @Mxb28Brant @UprightSpeedway This is the earliest pic I have of Ted Spittles (taken in 1970) & yes, I think it is him?

While this does look like Ronnie Genz, we now believe it may actually be Ted Spittles, who was a junior at Oxford in the sixties. He later rode for Ipswich and Reading.

Anyone remember Ted and able to confirm?

John Barter is trying to identify this Oxford Cheetah. Can anyone put a name to the face?

Unfortunately our OB Van broke down on the way to Leicester this morning and we are not able to make the meeting in time to stream this fixture.

We send our sincere apologies for the disappointment - every effort was made to allow this stream to go ahead, but our options for repair/recovery have been limited due to the Bank Holiday.

This fixture will now be streamed by Lions TV over at https://t.co/0SRm8wjQta and is available to purchase from them now.

This stream will now be replaced for Season Pass subscribers with the Leicester V Belle Vue fixture on Thursday, July 23.

@_SpeedwayPlus_ I hope Northampton can make a sucess of it. A town that hasn't seen speedway for a very long time.

[Speedway Plus @_SpeedwayPlus_]

Deja Vu!

David Pickles reflects on an uncanny sense of deja vu within British speedway, sparked by the announcement that Northampton will join the sport - echoing events from more than six decades ago.
