You only have to read Clarke Osborne's profile on that joke of a website to know the man is a compulsive liar.  

Great looking cover page of the SPEEDWAY STAR w/e February 1, 2025  

There is a website up for those who haven’t seen it www.swindonmotorsports.co.uk/ I really hope it goes ahead, but I have 2 concerns just based upon what I can see from the drawings only: the road and only planning for 200 car parking spaces when they plan to have: ‘A multi-use events arena with an expandable capacity of up to 3,000.’ Perhaps someone could shed more light.    

I think Ben Trigger is being underestimated by many, he may be a slow improver, but he has increased his average every season.  2021 NL (3.77) 2022 NL (6.00) 2023 NL (6.34) Champ (2.13) 2024 NL (8.71) Champ (3.08) There's no reason for me to believe he wouldn't increase it again, especially at Plymouth. If the team had 3.00 remaining, I'd say he's a great signing, but with just under 4 remaining, you want to look for someone stronger, although I'm not totally convinced anyone named would be better. Jack Smith on other tracks - yes. At Plymouth - definitely not. Connor Coles is of a similar ability, he may average 0.1 more than Trigger, but if you consider travel expenses is that worth it? Stefan Nielsen - is perhaps the one with the biggest chance of averaging over 4, purely because he's done that before. Ben Morley - think he'd have to give up his NT spot to ride Champ, so probably less likely. Trigger actually has an average higher than 7 reserves signed in the Champ this year. Shame that how the points limit works, riders who can't reach the minimum 2.00 get more chances than riders around 3.00!
