These guys forget it is a sport,go and get a job if it’s that bad. They are earning good money for 6 months work for 10 minutes on a bike on race night.No sympathy I’m afraid.

The problem is having a van and five bikes is feasible if your riding in Poland but in the UK these days in my eyes reality is the top 50% can warrant a van and two bikes next 50% should be one bike and ideally a track spare the costs have got out of control for what the UK can afford now days not helped by riders in the UK spending thousands per annum on tuning. At some point a total reset will have to happen but it seems to have been kicked again for at least another year unless Harry comes through with some new multi million pound backers to sort the sport out.

Good luck with that.... I think someone with a better grasp of the rules may explain why it SHOULDN'T happen!!!... The official answer of course is that... "This is UK Speedway"...

I imagine it does cost a lot money to be a speedway rider but I also know it costs a fortune to be a performing musician. Which is what I am. I've lost thousands over the years, but I've done it for 15 years because I love it.. speedway riders get paid. Paid well. I don't have much sympathy for a rider like Charles. I do for the younger riders but not the established ones.

...at 5.30 pm!

Wasn't grumbling when he picked up around £8k for 2 filler GP appearances last year. 🤔

7.07-7.23 Left for a No.5 depending on the No.6. Should go all out for Lawson 6.81 if building to win at Home, In 3 of his 4 visits to Foxhall last season, Richard put up (9), (11+1) and (13) 1. T. Brennan 7.05 2. S. Nicholls 5.25 3. T. Musielak 6.63 4. D. King 6.50 5. 6. J. Thorssell 4.50 / J. Jenkins 4.49 / J. Jeppesen 4.34 7. J. Edwards (RS)

Is adding the percentage reductions together before application within the rules? It certainly doesn’t seem fair. I know it’s not a huge difference but it is different. Maybe someone with a better grasp of the rules could explain.

Freddie 8.13 Thorsell 4.50 Rew 6.19 Musielak 6.63 Brennan 7.05 Jeppesen 4.34 Edwards r/s 36.84 do well that 🤪😂

Jacob Thorsell last achieved an average in 2019 and therefore we will reassess him to 4.50. Robert Lambert last achieved an average in 2019 and therefore we will not reassess him to 4.50.

But he does have the Polish ride. Seems a bit woe is me I must say. He's been one of many prime benefactors of the doubling up free for all of the last 15 odd years.

He would be the steal of the season if they can pull it off, if they could get Fred back over in place of Emil also I reckon crowds would hold pretty well.

I don't think it's rocket science, it shouldn't be at least, get your meetings planned as far in advance as possible and have them when they're least likely to be rained off. If the reserved weeks aren't filled by cup meetings/rearranged cancellations then stick on a challenge meeting. Your riders should be available to race for you on your race night every week. As a fan I never had an issue with a rider missing for a national/international meeting. It wasn't ideal but it's when they're riding for another club somewhere that it really takes the biscuit.

I like that

Let's hope they can get a deal done with Thorssell

That's what I'd heard but couldn't believe it

Not 100% sure on that think a lot will depend on can Chris Holder roll back the years he was a tremendous rider back in the day but I think two really bad smashes and what happened to Darcy understandably took the wind out of his sales mentally and physically.

Free parking, eh?

Head torches available at the pay booth 😃

That could be a good team Throssell should be geting double figures every week whilst at reserve, Tobi if he can get his head straight should do a job and same with Tungate if he can be bothered could be a trump card the other four solid and reliable.

Which in the grand scheme of things is ridiculous really, for a guy who still rode NDL/NDT an was offered two team spots at the start of the season and was going to sign for scunny mid season till he got injured. Robs ball his rules.

Mid Feb, no concrete confirmation on how many clubs competing in the top tier and no idea (officially) who is behind the Ipswich take over. No signings either. Its mental . People wonder why the sport is not taken seriously. As I read elsewhere, this has been the worst close season I have ever known of. Absolute mess. The posts I have read on Scunny signing a team over the limit just about sums the state of the sport up.

Press and Practice Wednesday 1st April

Could it be that they are waiting to have the Northampton situation concluded before slotting in the final 2 If as some think the likes of Lawson Wright etc are embarked to be there they would be available if the new venture doesn't proceed

Not only content but what a striking poster, would have made you take a second look.
