That's why betting was prohibited on speedway for donkeys years?

Not bad!

It's your age partly, everything seemed better in your 20s!

Now all teams have been announced…  Ipswich, Sheffield, BV look strong. All heat leaders are strong riders especially on home tracks so for me the lower order riders will be the key. Thompson, Ellis, Zischke, Blodorn, Rowe, Flint.. if one of them can step up a gear or two the team will be really hard to beat.    I fancy Brum for 4th spot. Think if Tobi finds his 2023 form he will inspire the rest of the team

Don’t think anyone is linking him to the Brummies, certainly not in any official capacity. The problem with the UK leagues is that there isn’t an abundance of available riders wanting to race here.  And he will be eligible to race again later in the year. Someone is bound to sign him. 

I don't think it makes a massive difference, if Springer gets a few Champ meetings throughout the season & impresses, wether that's as a guest or for another team, there's nothing to stop Poole offering him a team spot in 2026.
