Speedway is about to start its twentieth season at the stadium and we hope that we will all be here in ten years time to celebrate the thirtieth.“However, there are certain things going on in West Lothian planning at the moment that required us to protect our investment. That's what we are trying to do. There is no house builder lined up to start laying foundations.”

KING’S Lynn asset Simon Lambert will stage a Testimonial meeting at the Adrian Flux Arena on Sunday August 28.Lambert is a member of the Stars’ squad this year having ridden at the circuit for either King’s Lynn or Boston across seven different seasons, and his Premier League base is at nearby Peterborough.His meeting is titled ‘Rambo Lambo’s Decennary’ and Lambert said: “Decennary is an old word for decade or ten years, originating in Latin, which my family came across. We thought it was different and unusual - and hopefully memorable for both those reasons - which is why we chose it. “And ‘Rambo Lambo?’ That was the nickname I picked up at King’s Lynn, I think in 2008. I guess it has kind of stuck!”
