The change in the calculation of the Green Sheets from 20 matches, down to 10 is the problem. A sample of 20 matches reflects consistency, whereas the smaller sample is more likely to be skewed by a couple of very good form or very poor form scores. In 2022, Lawson averaged 6.75 from 19 Prem matches. His Green Sheet from the last 10 is 7.91 ... his average from the first 9 was 5.56 ...

You said you’d have a meltdown if Bomber signed……and then you go and bring up the Batch word??? Do you want the rest of us to have a meltdown?….lol

That is most definitely correct and I don’t see how Brandon estates get around the loss of the stadium argument. of course they can just sit on it for another decade. hopefully they will get hammered in the courts next week.

One or two rumours around that Lynn will be entering a team into the NL next season? Various Tweets from Alex Brady might back up the theory. Presumably the likes of Jody Scott, Sam Hagon, Elliott Kelly, Ryan Kinsley, and Ashton Boughen might be in the frame for a team place if so. Thoughts?

Probably Lewy!!

Batch? You must be getting desperate to go down that road!

Nope me neither! Why swap a rider then let him go back. Richard will be at Poole.

"We did consider moving to Calcot but unfortunately Terry and Clark had to stop to relieve themselves during the journey, and consequently the drive took 47 minutes, so outside of our requirements. We keep trying. We're doing all we can."

Only one person mentioned Rory Schlein going to Poole, someone renowned for getting bites off the Poole fans

No he’s not, he’ll be back in the championship in 2023.

Well it is the silly season, have to wait and see. I would be very disappointed if he didn't return, he certainly gave everything when it mattered most.

It's TJ at Berwick. He's probably seen the photo of Middlo and Bomber at yesterday's WSRA Dinner!

They do!!

Bottom end strength?? You ain’t seen our bottom end or top end yet, there’s no strength anywhere

Tbf if Poole went after Batch I'd have a meltdown too!

Winning shiny objects means little to most riders, money means a heck of a lot more.

Wouldn't just be tyretrax having a meltdown!! Toys would be out my pram too ha

Sounds very promising! I guess when it went in 2018, no one would of predicted us even talking about a return, remarkable. Just my thoughts of course, but Speedway, especially for this new venture, should be ran in the summer/warmer months, unlike the shambles that descended the '22 Championship season. That leaves us with something like this... (in an ideal world, that doesn't exist) 17 Weekends, Running May to End of August; 9 Home League meetings (KL possibly joining) 1 Home KO Meeting Individual Meeting 3 more Sundays...? NDLRC or Pairs? British youth championship round Under 19 final / Under 21 Semi final? Means 14/17 weekends running speedway, giving room for rain offs etc. However of course, rider availabilty will always be a problem at this level, more so the opposition! Then run into September if team progresses in League playoffs / KO Final etc.

Ok boss, are you his manager? You just wait and see

Berwick on a Saturday night isn’t going to fit with Josh presumably riding in Poland again.

My guess is bomber to Oxford. Much closer to home

No, they're looking for a site within a 45 minute drive of Swindon Town centre, ie in Swindon not Bristol or Reading? I'm the eternal optimist until all is lost Thank goodness the Coventry group have continued to believe eh!!

Give us all 45 points to work with. Feck the Premiership.

Robert Lambert came back to Belle Vue on his last premiership average so you never know. Thought he might be reassessed due to becoming a grand Prix rider since he was last riding in Britain?

Loves Berwick does Rory lol but a very capable rider who would do a good job.

If Schlein still to be announced,that would be ok Team.

I'm gonna go with no. Not in Champ, he just doesn't seem bothered about this league imo.

and ‘policed’ by the very people who give them….

Can’t see Lawson leaving Poole.

Lawson plus a 5.00 pointer and a 2.00 reserve looks a better alternative.

No idea mate, that’s just what people are saying and it kind of makes sense with the announcement debacle. Maybe behind the scenes they’ve secured the future of the club. Got some land and planning permission or something.?

A returning kings Lynn would be fantastic for the national league couple of local lads there as well

8.18 was his final 2021 average

Watched them at Hyde Rd when I was about 8 and thought they were a bit boring to be honest.... One outfit was miles in front of the others and all the rest were all strung out... They did about four races and it was rinse and reapeat... Watched them in 92 at Victorville which was a tiny track and they were brilliant... Six outfits per race knocking hell out of each other... Part of a top nights entertainment from junior solos to seniors including some US riders who rode over here.. A young lad of about eight or nine rode and beat kids many years his senior, and did it by being off the farthest hamdicap... With six rider races he passed people for fun... Ryan Fisher was his name....

...and nearly sold Oxford down the river back in 1975. His name is "reviled" for those who remember. As for Bristol Speedway at Eastville we know what a farce that turned out to be where planning permission hadn't been sought. Don't recall him having anything to do with White City however (?) That was a Dugard/Dunton enterprise.

Would be nice, but don't think so

They used to race at Crewe which was nice a wide ,we had a couple of races at the Elle Port but from memory they were Grass Outfits not S/way outfits which are much more compact .Plus the Grass Outfits went the opposite way hence wrecking the entrance to the corners ,I remember that from my riding days I loved it when it was only solos .

Last year only two changes?

Think was more than one rider/ team involved. No idea on ins and outs of it but someone far more clued up on these things told me Bowes and bailey would never be in a team together. Whether that's the reason or just wishful thinking on my part since Shane was my favourite rider when I was a nipper... Who knows. Might just be down to the numbers game

A use to climb a moontin for a bag of Tudor though... (Bevan Court and Trevelyan Court Longbenton) Biggest paper round in Newcastle and it was vertical... Al never be as old as you Jenga lad... Not quite at lying down stage yet but have been known to nod off in the chair after me tea these days .... Honestly the cheek you have to put up wid... Regards The oldest swinger in town...

Good signing. If he is captain does that mean Bomber is on the move? I am assuming Bomber was captain in 2022.

Leon Flint back as captain at Berwick

I was under the impression that Ty Proctor had retired.

I’d have Ace in that Team in place of Stoneman.

If money wasn't an issue (2022 rules used) Belle Vue Dan Bewley 8.91 Robert Lambert 7.61 Tai Woffinden 6.85 Mikkel Michelsen 5.67 Anders Thomsen 5.53 Tom Brennan 4.40 Connor Bailey RS Total 38.97

Those that posted in topic first edited their post team by team as signings were confirmed. Just look at previous year's topics.

Lawson and Poole did absolutely nothing wrong - just listen to Lawson discussing it on a Poole podcast for proof!1!1!

Buoyed by the good news regarding the failed planning proposal there was a great turn-out at the NSSC last night to see ex-Bee Martin Smolinski. Very interesting talk about his recovery from the severe hip injuries and his future plans. He also pledged to compete in the Brandon re-opening meeting for no payment! The Save Coventry Stadium committee were roundly applauded for their efforts and vowed to challenge any potential appeal from Brandon Estates with as much vigour as they had in opposing the previous attempts to build housing on the land. Nice emotional speech from Tony Gillias too.

I didn't realise Orlando was in France? Because that's where he is flying to today

New Travelodge opposite old stadium 10 minutes walk to new track, Spoon's in town for drink or station road working man's club to watch speedway GP . THJ drinks in scaryport. (Marypory ) if you can be brave to meet him
