I would say in the Cradley days, Phil Collins was even better than Jan O.

Bad news to see two of the top riders that commit to the UK leagues out injured - particularly Jason as he has just returned to UK speedway. I think Ipswich might restrict this to about 50-40 but expect a home win.

For there to be a debate it requires both sides to be argued. Is there anyone out there to argue in favour of sprint races? Anyone?

It is around five weeks before the season is due to start in mid July but so far there is no news about the season ahead. I did see a message somewhere saying that Barry Bishop has pulled out of his position with IOW Speedway which is not good news but I hope his departure will not have an adverse effect on the promotion. Looking forward to news once they have something to tell us.

But one rider has a lot of daddy's money to spend on his career, but his growth spurt will hinder him imo

Well call it off then, it would be a new reason, weather too hot for speedway 😜

That's British speedway for you, look at the championship some teams have gone up to 42 days without a home fixture

I see you haven't commented on the Belle Vue v Ipswich thread, Poole more appealing i take it

Belle Vue are opting for RR this evening.

Appalling move from King's Lynn. Kingston has dropped out of the team, which is a diappointment. But because they are worried R/R or guests won't score as many points as Kingston, they're kicking 21-year-old Cossey out of the team to replace him with a 33-year-old reserve? Manager Jason Pipe said "With our current situation with the team and not knowing how the guests will go, I’ve had to do one change to the team to try and get some more points from certain heats. Kenzie is at the start of his speedway career and a rider I believe will come good. We were hoping to be able to carry Kenzie in the team and let him develop with no pressure, but on this occasion I’ve had to use my head and go with that, rather than with my heart." Or in other words.... Sod development, this is about win at all costs!

To take a positive on that at least we'd all know the situation with the easy to understand, simple 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 scoring, rather than sorting around with our calculators potentially waiting for @racers and royals to tell us all who the World Champion is! But on the whole, to run these events in almost empty stadiums with coverage tucked away on red button channels is and has been a bit of a farce.

You rich southerners! 😂

Sam Woods replace Kenzie Cossey and Jack Kingston take time out of the sport .

Unfortunately the majority on here would bring back hanging to stop murderers re offending.

Jye is popular with the locals,but he is only decent at home at times away he is very poor when it matters IMO.IF there are changes when Battye comes back it would be him or Lasse for chop for me.

Agreed I do think to be a multiple world champion you need to avoid to many big knocks, Hancock other than that one where he ended up with his arm in another riders mudguard (which was horrific) has mostly stayed out of trouble. Hans Nielson didn't have to many bad knocks either but as you say Doyley and Freddie although awesome riders have had some pretty bad knocks over the years, sadly Tai who generally stayed out of trouble has had a torrid time last three years also. And as you say older you get the more these knocks must start to catch up mentally and physically, Chris Holder another example.

Sorry your misunderstanding my Post I’m talking about in the future .I know this year is steady at the challenge stage.wouldnt be surprised if Kubera qualifies again though.👍

Etheridge rode twice at Poole last season 12+2 & 0

Has to be a decision for a promoter/owner to make, after consulting with relevant people and checking compliance with law and regulations. Then it's a question of assessing the potential risk factors and measures taken to help prevent relapse and are they working and sufficient. Personally, I'd draw the line at convicted sex offenders and murderers.

That philosophy hasn't worked for him so far in his life , doubt he will ever change.

Remind me what happened when Artem and Bartosz were last in the GP series?

Poole have definitely got a better guest for Lawson than Berwick have for Kildemand Can see Poole winning this by 20 Etheridge and Jenkins got 1 between them last time at Poole and Palovaara got 8 from 6 Should be a walk in the park
