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.

Personally rather trust Skidder1 than most on here.

He did say it on Poole thread, but wasn't first to say it. That was Hamster00 on Berwick thread.

Anyone got an Abacus what's left for the last 2 riders?

And some embarrassing ones….

2023 ALL SYSTEMS GO! Ladies and Gentlemen we have a rather generous amount of 2023 news to share with you all this evening! Joining Leon Flint Racing as confirmed FTS Bandits so far for 2023 will be the following riders Thomas Jorgensen Jonas Knudsen Jye Etheridge Nathan Stoneman We are delighted to welcome back all 5 Shielfield Park heroes for the upcoming season. Thomas Jørgensen Racing was amongst the most spectacular and popular home riders in recent memory in his previous stints as a Bandit and we can’t wait to see TJ back in action Local hero Leon Flint will proudly skipper the side & Jonas Knudsen will look to continue his rocket like trajectory alongside our super popular local based Aussie Jye Etheridge and the ‘never give up’ heroics of Nathan Stoneman. After scooping all of the awards on Friday night we learned that Chris 'Bomber' Harris is unable to commit to Championship Saturday nights in 2023 due to a very busy international racing schedule and we wish Chris, his family and his team all the very best. We were fully aware that the Bomber could only commit initially to 2022 and we are grateful for a thrilling season from one of the greatest ever! Stay tuned this week for some big sponsorship announcements via all Berwick Speedway

Haha was looking at riders that might be available around the 7 average believe it or not he's the only one. It's only 3 years since he was top averaged riders in prem. Some day that riders going to come out again you'd think?

Would be good if Ipswich entered a team and then you have some real rivalry/local derbies with Kings Lynn, Mildenhall and Ipswich and if the top league organised themselves better surely Foxhall could host a team in the lower division. We live in hope.

Not something I expected either but heard it from couple knowledgeable sources he could be coming back. Can probably name his price with this reduced points limit and his attractive average, will be much sought after

Don’t really see the attraction in Complin,an entertainer but is well past his best at Championship level.The sport is dropping that much in Standard that he is a sought after rider.Sad IMO. They keep talking about young talent,yet not many are getting a fair go.

Seems he is leaving Berwick with Leon Flint being announced today as Berwick's 2023 captain

Also I guess being at reserve not too much pressure and he seems to be a quick learner going by the Champ final at KL!

Hope this happens, the NL could be the most populated league next year with 10 teams if the Comets and KL both join. Maybe even IOW will be ready to return

Few ifs and buts Wouldnt have Stoneman Just opinion as one Cerainly would like both Danish brothers

I don't think the roo boy could ever be accepted at Glasgow lol

Disagree when it comes to league racing. NKI had a few years as the top rider in the Polish league. Never won a world title granted but prime league NKI is as good as any of those riders have been ij league racing .

Lawson rode through the pain barrier for most of the season with a damaged knee. He needs an op in the winter!!

There is no way Jake Allen will be at Berwick

Hope so!

Rory is doing a couple of individual meetings in Oz as a favour to his mates Inc Darcy. That is all!!

Jacko has retired as a 3 time champion

Could be wrong but was it not the Sedgmen’s in the fallout.

Playing devils avocado maybe young Bowes cominig in, if i remember correctly isnt there some falling out between the riders/families and so if you want one you cannot have the other. Apologies if i'm getting all confused in my old age

Sorry, I thought the points had already been expunged……..my mistake…..

He was indeed

Don't forget who is saying it though!

the big bulb in the sky will sort it and comes super cheap . no standing charges either .
