I don't see Luke riding NL next year. 1 Jason Garrad 8.36 2 Senna Summers 3.44 3 Ashton Vale 6.17 4 Jacob Clouting 5.04 5 Jody Scott 8.10 6 3.89 Left 3.89 7 Declan Killeen 3.00

Hard to imagine Zagar averaging less than 7 to be honest. Knows the tracks well and will settle down at Birmingham pretty quickly. Always liked him, thought he would go all the way to the very top after seeing his debut season with Trelawny where he was even better than Iversen who Newport signed. From memory averaged nearly 10 in his debut season. Was a class act for Reading too. Hopefully the ambition being showed by Brum works out. Signing Nilsson, Zagar, Thorsell and Tobi as well as Rew wont come cheap but if they do all click then they could be quite a top side.

There was huge talk of a track opening just down the road from Newport in Magor but haven't heard anything about that for a long time now. Must be dead in the water. In a time where the sport is absolutely on its knees, I can't see it returning to Wales any time soon.  

1. IPSWICH (Only injuries can stop them from a clean sweep of trophies in 2025) 2. BELLE VUE (Despite the downgrade from Ben Cook to Zach Cook they still look like the best of the rest on paper) 3. KING'S LYNN (Write them off at your peril but this 1-7 is rock solid and it's a play-off side for sure imo) 4. LEICESTER (Originally I didn't have Leicester down for a play-off spot but other teams have some serious question marks over them) 5. SHEFFIELD (The tail end is far too weak to do anything on the road, Winning Bonus Points will be a struggle imo) 6. BIRMINGHAM (Have put together a good side but it's a lot of riders returning to Britain and it could take a while for them to settle back in) 7. OXFORD (Gilkes rumoured to be the No.6 and if it happens then Oxford will be at least 2.00 under the limit even if they do get a No.1)

Agree, No wooden spoon for Brum next year.

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
