keep it simple - no need for change - 3, 2, 1, 0 is best

Agree, there is a general entertainment point of view.It’s the structure of the sport,which IMO is struggling to attract new fans.It’s just not credible,and it’s mainly diehards which are keeping it afloat.

Great to see Doyle remain loyal to Britsh Speedway. He's more of a Brit than Bewley, Lambert and Woffinden.

I had a great day at the WSRA annual Norwich lunch today. Met up with some old friends, including Ove Fundin, Bert Harkins, Trevor Hedge, Tony Hurren (Hawkeye) and Terry Ripo (former Hackney and Mildenhall announcer). Other illustrious names at the lunch included Cyril Crane, Richard Greer, James Easter, Billy Bales, Ray Bales, Rob Hollingworth, Dingle Brown, Gavin Hedge, Dave Gagen, Graham Miles, Ollie Allen, Dave Allen and the great, the one and only, Buzz Burrows. Good food, good company and, best of all, I won first prize in the raffle!

Steve Worrall over Ellis or Kerr any day

Happy with that Does it mean Paul and Matty flipflopping between 1.and 5, or just 5? Hopefully there is a genuine #1 to come

Yeah I don't think Darcy's son is walking yet

Id wager more money on the flying circus lasting longer.

I actually think from a general 'entertainment' point of view with the level of riders being so similar it is actually worth watching.. I watched lots of domestic Speedway on TV and three 'live' and there was plenty to keep you interested.. Unfortunately it is clear that these riders cannot make one league pay therefore it all becomes a bit contrived and nonsensical, which obviously then takes more than a fair bit away from the event itself.. If only they could get the racing level within a proper team sport structure.. Unfortunately, until they do the sport will continue to underperform against its undoubted potential..

Ulrich could have got there by the end of the season

Sorry I Will rephrase that,the standard is higher but it’s the same riders beating each other.There are certainly no superstar 10 pt average riders even though it is a weakened League.

Lions 2019 Championship Shield Winners Championship League Winners Pirates 2021 Championship KO Cup Winners Championship League Winners I regularly attend both tracks, as well others, with Leicester being my nearest and I support Poole. The amount of success that both club's av achieved with both doing the double, either side of lockdown, is a remarkable achievement. In fact Lions cud've done the treble if it wasn't for avin to track an under strength side at Eastbourne in the KO Cup. I'd like to wish all at both clubs continued success, but don't mention the Scottish club! .....was a fine ride by Ellis Perks!

At least if you did sign Basso, he won't be visiting Poole as he'll be riding in Denmark.

dont be so sure be prepared to be surprized.

Because the other 6 teams wouldn’t share the TV money

Nah, I go private!

Have you had something you shouldn’t have had this morning?

Pirate walks in to a Scottish bar....'Mine's a Double please!' 

I would guess Morris Mountain Howarth Rowe Richie Thompson Thompson

It’s really not complicated. Scott Courtney runs Berwick Jamie Courtney will run Oxford harris has signed for Berwick and has agreed to ride for Oxford when they were planning to run in the premiership Oxford will be championship so Harris will no longer be in the team as he already signed for Berwick

And quite right they are too... It could destroy the sports (in the UK), credibility...

Yeah and how little he cared not sure if it may be different for Poole though ?!

Riss to panthers makes sense. He will have to get dialled into the showground but he's a better rider than his average suggests

Paul starke signing confirmed on twitter very good signing

Unfortunately I have a big big feeling he will be at Ipswich,,,, as we do seem to like an Aussie that doesn't live up to expectations.

No they don't unless it is a hospitality thing, I sit in the "posh" seats under the ref box, yes I paid extra for the privilege on top of my season ticket, that is my choice as I struggle to get good viewing unless I am at the front

Could be Ipswich with guy Nicholls sorting a deal

So Kennett, MPT and Lawson as your heat leaders (announced on Plymouth Facebook page).

The original......looks like a row of trees still show the outer edge of the stadium to the right High Beech : https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=51.66557&lon=0.03746&layers=193&right=ESRIWorld

How many Sunday teams now? When Krosno ride Friday then Glasgow can ride Sunday.

Just another example for me of why Polish speedway will be the death of other domestic leagues

Yeah would be a good site, I do doubt it could happen but nice to think about. Shouldn't sign riders knowing will miss meetings IMO

I think Tobias converted average is 9.2, which is lower than Poole's heatleaders

If were to go down that route would be looking at something like Musielak Cook Brennan Nicol Basso Bailey Edwards Just over 41 I think not taking into account 2.5% reductions. (Guessing at Connors average at 3.8)

From what I understand it will be a little too soon for the young Aussie.

Actually Poole's prices have gone down for me in a way as they made U11s free when it used to be U5s, so better off by £6 each meeting this season!

Or Batch before Kent, his was a later signing than Hans I think! So up to 6 at start of the season.

I thought the doubling up one was quite good!

The speedway shut in the early/mid 60s and the greyhounds shut down in 1969 after problems over the lease with British Rail, who owned the site. There were plans to use the site as part of a redevelopment of the Millwall FC Stadium next door, but they came to nothing, and the derelict New Cross was just demolished.

Guess that be first thing to be sorted by the new management committee then before any open meetings can take place? Fingers crossed something takes place in 2022

Only TWO of the top scoring riders in the Premier League don’t ride in the Championship……Jack Holder and Dan Bewley….So what makes it Premier?……..

Ford said "Ok we dropped down a league, so wot coz like the riders we also Doubled Up" !

Heyyyy up, hands off Humey boy!

There's absolutely no point in change with 4-3-2-1. It's exactly the same as the current one. Personally, league racing should remain the same, but all Cup matches (ko cup, SON etc) the scoring system shouldn't allow for draws & never benefit 2nd & 3rd. League - 3-2-1-0 Cup - 6-3-2-0 Trying to win races has to be priority for me.

Is that directed at me? Odd take.

I get what you’re saying and I have great admiration for (most) promoters - it is a thankless task for the majority of the time. While they do finance it I would argue that fans finance it more or just as much - albeit not with the same pressures and risk. I just feel a fresh and different perspective in the BSPA meetings would help.

For me, no cook either

Godfrey will be the death of British Speedway.

Would like to see Connor Mountain back too, but do feel it won't happen. Oh, and Archie back too.
