Refusal for homes is to be reviewed A final decision on controversial plans to build 650 homes on a section of the East of England Showground that was home to speedway racing for 50 years is expected next year, it has been revealed. Peterborough City Council says its appeals committee is unlikely to meet until January to review the decision made on October 15 by the local authority’s planning committee to refuse permission for the homes. https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/people/decision-on-650-homes-plan-for-speedway-land-at-east-of-england-showground-expected-in-new-year-4888020

Rugby Union *cough cough*

Don't know what happened to Janowski in 2024, maybe losing his GP spot hit his confidence. I thought he was very unlucky in that regard having been on the podium the previous year. But the same has happened to Madsen this year. If Janowski can hit the ground running he hold his own in the Premiership as a #1, Tungate is reasonable backup. No one can expect Riss or Wright to be much more than be solid #2 & #4. Possibly match winning reserve? Another hear leader is required, hope Spires can pull a rabbit out of the hat. If not Janowski & Tungate are better heat leaders than any riders Kings Lynn have signed

2026 looking decent. I think this is going to be King’s last season. Rew will be back as he is loaned out to Birmingham for 2025 so we could get Brennan on the pre tense that he comes back for 2026 and replaces King. Ipswich offering scholarship to whoever wins the under 19s event at foxhall… all set up for Will Cairns!

Belle Vue, Ipswich & Sheffield will make the play offs Leicester have a better team than Kings Lynn as it stands... hoping Oxford & Brummies can be contenders. I really don't get the love for that Kings Lynn team.  I've loved watching Bomber & NKI over the years but they're both in their 40's and are not reliable double points scorers these days.  Cook is some way off a #1 as is Kvech.  Lawson is a solid engine room rider but nothing more and will be starting his downward arc and Klindt will be injured out for the season by the end of May in all likelihood.

As expected from Belle Vue. Blodorn, Cook should improve their starting averages, as should Lidsey who needs to become more effective away from the NSS. Kurtz was exceptional in 2024, same again please, but with GP's & Ekstraliga I'm expecting a dip Still waiting for Bewley to have a few Nielsen seasons, when he averages 10:50+ and is almost unbeatable. Mulford can hold his own at RS hopefully. Never seen Zischke, Voulas must feel hard done to. Along with Tigers & Witches, the Aces complete the annual 3 horse title race as expected.
