The war if there is one will be akin to a 7 year kid with a wooden sword vs a super power with nukes...... Good luck

Paco?

I'm pretty sure everyone would choose Wells over Ostergaard right now, especially with Ricky's very good knowledge of the Berwick and Edinburgh tracks. Letting him go to Berwick (wether or not that was the management's decision or the rider's) will definitely come back to haunt the Tigers. Ostergaard won't be anywhere near the same rider as he was but by the time the management have figured that out it will be too late to bring someone in on his starting average. Mid-table at best.

??, ??, Henry Atkins, Adam Extance, Dan Gilkes, Richard Andrews (Presume Ben Trigger is top right but struggling to find the exact photo used)

His average is 5.00 cause it's still assessed . Is this your first day as a speedway fan?

Think they are waiting for Willie Lawson father to sort out some machinery for him,or buy him a fishing rod.

https://speedwayteams2022.blogspot.com/ I've created the above which has all known squads for all Continental European Speedway nations (note - UK is NOT included) as at present. It also features all known fixtures for 2022. This is not meant to be in any way a rival to the stellar work done by R&R, it's simply another option for people to have.

No room all fully booked

My cheekier take on them: Peter made World Champion Les made World Runner-up Phil made the World Final Neil made the British Final Steve made the tea

Sorry Redcar fans. My bad

Not a bad team. Gilkes could be the league’s top rider (Bickley will have something to say about that though!). Atkins in on a false average and Andrews is prolific at home. Those 3 should get them the home win alone most weeks. Best of luck to Extance coming back and he’s always been a rider I enjoyed watching. The might find it a bit tougher at the bottom end though as I’m not sure how good Meadows will perform which puts some pressure on young Trigger. Hopefully they can find a proper number 2 to give those two a season at reserve but I have a feeling they might be under the points limit.

There was a time when you used to see a photo salesman with a large board outside the turnstiles selling all manner of home and away riders photos, and a selection of rosettes, badges. sadly don't think any of the current English clubs have enough fans interested in spending money on merchandise to make it a viable proposition. What I have seen of "merch" in track shops has generally been pretty poor quality. Have to say I do have a decent baseball cap from Kent Kings track shop.

Bit naive that. If they've got (say) a 5.05 hole and you're that 5.00 rider, then I'd be asking an extra 5 quid a point.

Exactly, take the disagreement somewhere else, got nothing to do with Redcar Speedway.

Ellis is signed in Swed and races on a Tue and on one site he is showing Grinsted in DK (Wed) but that could have been 2021 as not clear. But maybe he won't ride Champ ???. He could have Thur and some Mon with Sheffield - Swe Tue - Maybe DK Wed and Pol on Sundays. Not sure if POL Lge 2 teams will also have an under 24 league and if so which day racing as the POL Exl U24 is midweek (think on Tue). Will Ellis really want to break his balls rushing back from Swe for a Wed when he can take his time coming back and prepare for Sheff most Thursdays. Just my opinion.

Sorry why is the Redcar link covered in stuff about Poole & Glasgow ?..

A multi million pound indoor leisure facility planned? Sounds promising... A Speedway track with a roof, just what is needed... Maybe they will base it on the one Bradford had planned?.. "The Superdome" wasnt it?

Sarj is 4.08 with Brit reduction (4.18 on final averages list without reduction) As Soupy suggested, Castagna is 5.52.

Plymouth facebook page. I'm struggling on bottom right who has a head like a Mr Whippy ice cream (or is wearing a bobble hat). Would think Ben Trigger is in there and Kai Ward, but can't find a photo that fits.

So seeing a paragraph on the Speedway Star website on the Basso interview, seems there is going to be no war of words or falling out. Pretty much said Poole were good to him and has no problem with the club.

They don't like it up 'em

Not on my football coupon they do not lol

I was at Coventry once and asked the hot food stall for chips. The lady replied "we don't do chips - they're too popular" And that my friends is Speedway merchandising

Now changed to 5pm

What do you get if you put 9.41, 5.00, 5.46, 5.52, 8.34, 4.08 and 4.00 together?

For those interested 6 of the 7 confirmed riders silhouettes are on the main Plymouth speedway Facebook page. with them being announced at 6 this evening. anyone got any ideas. I’m going bowtell, Gilkes, Atkins, trigger, Kai Ward as possibilities.

Fell for that one that won’t happen again

No, I think the greyhound people get the money from the car park...?

Haha very funny

This season Paul Starke, Jordan Jenkins (rode for Redcar/Mildy) and Dan Gilkes were Kent assets, I'm not sure if there were any others. I don't think any rider under 16 can be an asset of any club.

PIRATES SIGN WORRALL.......STEVE! (poole-speedway.com)

What doesn’t add up,it’s at least 3 months to the start of the season, the Teams not been finalised,why would you sell season tickets.The Edinburgh Promotion are one of the longest serving in the Sport.I think they know what they are doing.

Sundays at 12 Noon.

I don't even know what she's going on about to begin with.

Or maybe Lisa is feed up with people who keep changing there forum names?

You'll forgive me if I don't take you seriously either, considering you go to Scunthorpe regularly and on the thread you just slag them off constantly.

Amazing!!! You've spent years baiting folk on this forum and had plenty of bites, now who's biting? Were you ever kicked off the forum for it?

Well we have the troll Trackrat and the so called speedway fan Lewy from Plymouth who are clearly not speedway supporters. No decent fan would want to see any club fold but it is obvious this is exactly what these two want. Should have their sorry arses kicked of this forum imo.

Tbh outside of Sheffield I don’t see any other team looking particularly any stronger, comfortably better side than kings lynn imo, pboro wasted a lot of points in ostergaard, can’t see him scoring anywhere near as well off the back of the injuries and let’s face it last season was the best year of his career it was the anomaly, wolves have replaced schlein and nicol with worrall and kemp 2 considerably weaker riders and who on earth are Belle Vue going to sign - who’s actually left and willing to ride in the uk to pad the remaining places out and be competitive, swapping max for bewley is like for like, so next years side hasn’t changed really at all on this years side accept they’ve now got to find replacements/improvements on the worrall and I can’t see who’s left to do so… we’ve got a strong reserve pairing, arguably the best 1&5 in the league and 3 riders with a point to prove on low averages, injury free and I’m quietly confident the witches are the dark horses, but please keep writing them off I’m sure it’ll only make them more determined to prove you wrong!

Wow, this thread has got a bit depressing...

Leicester looked the best on paper to me once Hans was brought in and Bates/Proctor released. Just didn't happen for them though.

It was an extra £9 billion over and above I think which I'm not saying wasn't justified. Maybe need a better person than Sturgeon to administer it. But I'm not Scottish so up to yourselves really. I'm not anti Scottish and like everyone I've come into contact with, but think you have a self centred idiot in charge like we have.

Starting to sound like that line in the Pink Floyd song "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding". So there we have it...no new product ranges until the investment in the 2020 stock has been recouped. It doesn't matter what people want, they'll get what's offered to them, whether they want it or not.

Shocking merch !!

The late Wayne Brown was same for us at Berwick nothing for 2/3 seasons then bang
