Speedway followers are a strange tribal bunch. The intellectually limited amongst them will be the ones shouting "hang him" but as soon as Garrity signs for their team and starts banging in the points he'll be the hero of the terraces. What he has done in the past is truly awful and there is no defending him for that. Does he deserve one last chance? Lets see.

This is going to be a tough one for all the riders involved, will be in excess of 30° during the meeting, lord knows how much hotter in the pits and in their kevlars! Imagine Sheffield will go down the R/R route for Jack Holder as with only Northampton and King’s Lynn not riding only really Chris Harris as an option. You’d think Chris Holder, Pickering, Flint and Rowe could get maybe 7-10 from 4 rides not sure if Harris would get that from number 1. Did I hear right on BSN last night that Dan Thompson could miss this for Leicester of Lodz decide to use him for their Ekstraliga 2 meeting that clashes (practising today to decide squad)? If he ends up in Poland that would be a big loss for Leicester as looked on fire last night and had good meetings around Sheffield too, would they go guest or R/R? Can see Howarth again being a busy man down at number 6 maybe getting a ride or two extra from likes of Kemp, Morris or Joe Thompson Just due to Jack Holder being a consistent big scorer around Sheffield and R/R or guest not covering adequately I think Leicester will come away with the away win 41-49

Simon Lambert it is.

Best wishes to Jack on a speedy recovery.

Don't think it was ambition in all fairness. Fricke didn't have anywhere else to go at the time because Ipswich and Northampton left it far too late. Not trolling here but maybe Max is trying to get his average down this season so he doesn't end up at Lynn again?

I wouldn't have said anything if opportunites for improvements didn't arise this season.

Filip Sitera then😆,or Kevin Brice🤣

That's not mine, yours or any fan to find out. That is exactly what the management team should be doing. Club's with that winning mentality always manage to find someone. At reserve, just find someone that's a terrific gater. Someone whose willing to be a roadblock is great for the team even if they end up scoring 1s & 0s. Being able to gate and getting their teammate to the front is a winner compared to right now. Sometimes, someone who scores 2 can be better for the team than a 4 average rider that blocks his teammate. A bit of thought & knowledge and that rider can be found. As I say, other teams always manage to find that someone to fill spaces, regardless of averages.

I agree they both need replacing imo.But you saying Lynn showing lack of ambition in replacing riders again i agree,but then you say there is no one in the Championship of note who could replace Castagna and no stand out foreigner neither,what would you suggest then to replace Castagna to show ambition as you said there is no one. Edit:Coopers average changes on the 29th which takes the team average well above the 37pt mark.So make a change now imo.

I'm a very keen speedway fan, but I've seen very little about Mildenhall, especially upcoming meetings. I'd suggest they need to advertise better, especially on free social media platforms.

Best rider/s for coming from the back.

Mark Loram like Bomber rarely made starts. Top at finding the dirt and riding high wide and handsome. Apart from when he rode for Eastbourne as he had to gate there. Joe Screen was another that was decent finding ways to pass riders. -
Can't think of any fans I'd want to share ...
-
At least his stretcher is in Sheffield Colours... very on brand😂 A lot on here don't like the fella... I think he's great 👍

Hearing that Jack Holder list of injuries bigger than told on Saturday by Polish press during the GP, I’ll let the official confirmation of these be released by Jack and his clubs, but these would be season ending for the lad, puts both Sheffield and Gorzow in a predicament, hopefully Jack back fully for for his Aussie season and then back in UK in 2027 with a GP wildcard as he was up there again pre these injuries
-
Launch of a 'fan share-scheme'??
-
Yes I was. They won't be the only riders to be defeated at the NSS (and I'm including all of the Ipswich team here) because when behind from the off, it's very difficult to make up speed there on a home rider, which we saw with all of the Ipswich and Leicester team. On Nicholls specifically, his starting ability has never been a strong point but in the Championship, where he's outscoring King I think, overtaking is more of a possibility for him. However, riding at No.4 is stretching and as the weakest rider above the reserves, he should be at No.2. Oh, and those 14 points from "years ago", were probably only about 5 meetings ago for him 😉
-
To be fair, it doesn't really matter who's at #1, neither Lawson or King have an auspicious record there for the Witches. It's a tough place to fill, even in a "weaker" league.

Best Wishes to the lad... Gets some bad press from some, but always worth watching race...
