We must surely be approaching the point where they say it's too late to get this done. This waiting isn't fair on the riders, it's not fair on the other clubs who have declared they're running but can't get properly organised, and most importantly it's not fair to the supporters who can't be blamed if they decide that after the farce of this winter it's finally the time to walk away from the sport. I hope Northampton do start. The circumstances in which it happens isn't ideal but it would still be exciting to see a new track enter, and wouldn't it be great if we were all here in 7-8 months time looking back at a successful first season. But you can't keep everyone waiting around forever, there has to be a deadline.

As we sit here twiddling our thumbs I was just reading a pole of the most boring sports in peoples opinion and of 1000 replies nobody said Speedway,now that can be took two ways either nobody finds Speedway boring or nobody finds who voted has heard of it,just for the record, curling and cricket were the most nominated

he also loved a good sense of humour. 🤣

Stifles aspiration, and ambition,and is clearly open to manipulation.. If must be quite annoying for a rider to miss out on a team place by a few decimal points, knowing one of his team mates last year let him finish in front of him, which, ultimately put his average "too high"... Even more so if a "bonus point king" gets the place he could have had!!!

I hate the averages system and also the idea of not having riders as assets. It kills the motivation to develop young riders as if their average gets to high, you have to lose them for nothing or lose another top rider. It also doesn't really keep teams that fair either

Grass track fixtures in this week’s Star for those in the Premiership suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Perhaps one of the grass venues could stage speedway, it might be quicker than Northampton.

Diapers also here ready and waiting

Ahhh, but.... You need to use such a highly scientific system like rider averages because it means that every season, every team, starts the season almost completely equal... Well. Apart obviously from those teams who get named on here, before a wheel is turned, as a shoe in for the play offs, or, alternatively, correclty named as spending the season as complete and utter cannon fodder... It works so well doesn't it?..

Can any old Cradley fans remember a rider by the name of Cyril Cragg who competed in a Best Pairs meeting at Dudley Wood on Saturday 21st May 1960? He was one of the meeting reserves and took four rides in the place of Bill Coleman who had dropped out of the meeting after his first two rides either through injury or bike problems. Cragg scored six points from the four rides he completed and fell in what would have been his fifth ride, but in one of his races he defeated Roy Spencer who was at the time Cradley's third heat leader. Cragg's name had never previously been seen in the Cradley programme and neither was it ever seen again, so the mystery seems to be that if he was good enough to beat Cradley's third heat leader Spencer, why would he not have been signed on, on the spot? Could he have been a rider already under contract to another club who was riding on that particular occasion under an assumed name? This kind of thing wasn't unique at the time - several riders had used assumed names when riding at Bradford and Liverpool the previous season, and former Belle Vue captain Ken Sharples rode as "Gary Lindsay" for LIverpool against Cradley in a cuptie just a couple of weeks afterwards. Would be interesting to find out one way or another.

Shame can't be said the same for you then 😂

Fools and their money are soon parted!

My brain hurts just reading that

Remember when that one guy came into your work telling you about a new pyramid scheme and we all put money in and it in reality turned out to be a scam, this speedway futures Ltd is giving off the same vibes at the moment

If anyone fancies enjoying a slice of 'King's Lynn', Nicolai Klindt, Niels-Kristian Iversen and Mads Korneliussen will be sharing tales from their friendship and time with the Stars at The Rathskeller on Saturday March 14th. Nicolai has organised the event to kickstart his testimonial weekend. Tickets start at £15 and food (hog roast) is available, as are VIP packages. Would be great to see some of you there: https://sportingknights.co.uk/events/

So.... Basically, promoters thought that an authentic and relevant league, that had some resonance, and ran during the warmer months, would negatively impact their unauthentic, and largely irrelevant league, with minimal, if any, resonance, (that they would still run), using the colder months too?... In summary... "This product would deliver what many fans want, and would engage them to attend, but then they wouldn't turn up to watch the usual contrived stuff we cobble together each season".. They probably wouldn't be wrong would they?

So with no winter income the 4/5/6 premiership are stumping up the £??,??? wages ? But listening to rob Godfrey he seemed to give the impression Phil was working for speedway futures Ltd ? Who unless have sponsors stumping up the cash also have no income

Jenkins should be alright,Northampton will be looking for riders will they not.🤔👍

From the Kings Lynn NL section but..... If a rider in the championship has missed a season or more in the NDL, but has had a NDL average within the last 5 seasons, then they go back into the NDL on their last NDL average, UNLESS when their current Championship average is doubled and it’s higher than that last NDL average, within the last 5 seasons, then that rider will return to the NDL on the higher of the 2 averages. Jake Mulford’s current championship average when doubled is lower than his last NDL average in 2024, hence why Jake is on an 8.67 average in the NDL in 2026. Would make sense if similar rules were applied between CL & PL but we all know that sense and speedway rarely go hand in hand

Could make sense... Maybe 'The Mad Hatter' has been involved?....

Would go a long way to explaining the amount of sh!t about at the moment

Dummy found and firmly in place so can't speak 😜

No update on Fraser, so guess he is 100% fit and will start in just over 4 weeks for us.

Not ideal, but with planning theres more or less a 3 week window from 21st september due to the 2 week international break. Fit the SF and Final in that window, using track covers etc if required, maybe even swap legs around say its BV vs KL forecast is poor at KL so 1st leg moved to BV as its bathed in sunshine.
