You really are a t*t.

I do, Kasprzak was dropped as he could hardly score a point for Poole, came back with Rye House and scored a paid maximum…..totally taking the pee!!!

Hope that's the case Lewy. I've developed quite a soft spot for both Plymouth and Berwick in the Championship. I've watched maybe three or four streams from Plymouth this year and always watch out for their results as well. Good luck for next year!

Very impressed with Luke Harrison last night, he has come on so much from watching him in his early NJL days. Would be great to see him full time with the Bullets next year, build the side around him, Ace Pijper and Mason Watson. Greg Blair for entertainment and a Kyle Bickley / Luke Crang to score top end points and pass on advice for various tracks. Been another entertaining year for the Bullets. One of the best things to happen to Berwick speedway in a long time.

Every thread on this Forum has got something to do with them.

Jamie Courtney's welcome words last night: "The Bandits will be in the Championship next season, the Bullets will be in the NDL. The Academy will continue to give opportunities to the next generation and Duns will continue to go from strength to strength"

what or who are you hiding from ? you dont need 2 moaners in your team . the current one is enough !

Whilst you have the overriding clause in the regulations which states The BSPL directors have the sole right to approve or not approve a declaration then it matters not a jot what’s in the rules.

Already signed him

Who would be cheating? If Plymouth win we would go down on record as finishing 4th instead of 6th that would be the only difference, Leicester and Glasgow have proved over the season they were the best 2 teams in the league.

Brain cell mate as in singular. Im surprised he can put a sentence together.

Who's been tapped up then? Anyway Ford has done plenty of that over the years so I'd probably keep quiet. Glass houses etc.

1) to make it cheaper so the likes of Eastbourne or Workington would join? 2) to spread the top riders around so the likes of Birmingham & Newcastle being far weaker doesn't happen again? 3) to help the best NL riders step up? 4) to have a bigger gap between Prem & Champ and a smaller gap between Champ & NL? 5) to encourage clubs like Leicester, Poole & Glasgow to step up? Tbh a lower points limit isn't needed so much for next season if the Champ are missing 2 more teams, meaning the top riders could get spread round more evenly!

As soon as Brits clinched 3rd in heat 18, I was hoping Edwards would get a shot in heat 19 at least!

T*t like you is singular last time I checked a team was not singular. So that just confirms that you are indeed a prize A t*t

Haha. Just giving other teams a chance to win the Prem!

Have to agree on that, think that once it comes to play offs an unattached rider has to take a bookings for 1 side only and if they go out its no further bookings until the next season.

It’s a bit of a joke if the play-offs are decided by who can book the best 3.00 unattached reserve and then hope they honour the booking!

Don't bite and be a capture of the Troll.

When the RS was introduced I did an extensive article in the Star examining past schemes to encourage young talent. They came along about once every seven years and apart from the odd vestigial trace all had disappeared within two years.

I think most of us want Sheff to win due to how Belle Vue cheated this year ,

Always sad when a track closes down but what went on at Swindon was despicable with lies upon lies and false promises.

I did say before Tom Brennan could be the one that lets Belle Vue down as he has had a couple of nasty crashes lately but he has had a bit of time to recover and back on his home track I think he will be fine.

But the plan should last five years... Due to the fact it has been planned to cover five years... Hence... The Name... All five year plans in business have several milestones in them to ensure they remain on track to meet their ultimate aim... Disbanding some of a five year the plan in Year One, then removing it completely in Year Two, could be seen as "a bit radical"... Todays U23 performance shows just how important an effective development system for young riders is for the growth of the sport... A huge gap still exists from the likes of the Poles and the Danes... Going back to filling reserve slots with 4.5 point journeymen foreigners isnt going to help sort that...

Hi mate unfortunately due to 250cc commitments for the period of time after he turned 15 until after the cut off date it was impossible to sign for any club as he would of been unavailable to much

Lawson approached Poole not the other way around.

The Hatters- probably mentioned in the dusty old book.

Why it's got nothing to do with you.

According to the Speedway News (17th April 1937), the principal reason for Luton not proceeding, even though preparations were at an advanced stage, was a protest from the local hospital, presumably on noise grounds.

Poles could be doing that with Kubera

I posted the rules before the start.

Arthur Westwood was optimistic about staging Provincial League speedway at the Luton track in 1937, but when that was not possible, he turned his attention to opening a track in Reading, again without success. Undeterred, he looked at re-opening the Tipnor track at Portsmouth only to be frustrated for a third time. Portsmouth did stage a couple of meetings later in the year. It proved to be fourth time lucky when he finally got permission to re-open Hall Green, Birmingham. Les Bowden and Cecil De La Porte were included in the Hall Green team, both originally destined for Luton.

Kenneth to be No 1, team manager and in charge of the snack bar?

"17.4 Substitute Riders The substitute rider may take the place of any programmed rider at any time, within the maximum number of permitted heats (five heats) when decided by the Team Manager. There will be no tactical substitute rider or Joker rule for this championship." Think substitute rider is definitely the number 5

Sad whats happened at Swindon those clubs who have secure futures cannot exist if clubs all around them are closing.

I would think that a few promoters voted against running the RS system in the Championship after 1 year as a few riders exceeded expectations. In the past, riders that do well 1 year find themselves out of a job the next year because they have that dodgy average(normally between 4 & 6)

Have Belle Vue got one ?

Mildenhall got of jail a bit with gifted points in some races

The rolling aves are from the last 3 seasons, 19,21,22. So anyone with an average from 2018 wouldn't use those figures for a rolling ave, would need to race 3 home & 3 away to gain a new ave.

Putting aside the who signed who lets look a the last times the teams rode each other at each others tracks Belle Vue 5th September Belle Vue 54 Sheffield 36 Belle Vue had their full 1 to 7. Sheffield Klindt replaced Musielak and scored 12 points from 6 rides. Sheffield 22nd September Sheffield 57 Belle Vue 33 Sheffield had their full 1 to 7 Belle Vue had Rider Replacement Fricke and the team scored 6 points from the Rider Replacement rides. Overall Aggregate Scores; Sheffield 93 Belle Vue 87. Although Sheffield won those meetings on aggregate, I cannot see Musielak matching Klindt scores, and Lambert will score more than double the Rider Replacement score at Sheffield. For me Belle Vue are rank favourites.

I feel sorry for the brick wall!!

I’d take Cook on an average under 5. No brainer. (Sorry Taps)

Very well put. Am sure many would agree with that - he has been a great asset to UK Speedway over the years. A high speed Ulle was always great to watch and gave his all. Like many great riders though - serious injuries have blighted their careers and with Ulle the last two seasons in particular have maybe signalled to him that it was time to bow out gracefully. Always enjoyed his races with Glasgow, Peterborough and others before. He might actually make a good T.V. pundit in future like Tony Rickardsson, Sudden Sam and Chris Louis as he had a wealth of experience behind him ? Happy retirement and thanks for the thrills !

He is prob banging his head against a brick wall.

That's the 16:20 at Ayr Racecourse, I think.

The wife’s birthday can swivel surely. Who cares about that when it’s a final

What I don’t understand is how Terry Russell has the right to close down the speedway. if he says he can’t make it pay then at least give someone else the chance to take it on. the situation stinks and definitely looks like a big brown envelope has changed hands somewhere.

And the BSPL will look like a right set of charlies yet again!

In his long-awaited book that will be published later this month, Peter Collins reveals how Stuart Bamforth offered him the chance to take over the running of the Aces a year before the world famous Manchester venue closed in 1987. PC also explains how he literally helped shape the club’s next two tracks, at Kirkmanshulme Lane and the National Speedway Stadium.

I would have disagreed on the basis that I thought he could best Kowalski, but having seen the Pole in Pardubice I am no longer of that view.
