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.

just like to say thank you for all the input and posts on this topic . i think now is the time to move on and build up the following on the new venture at Northside in the proper section of the forum . thanks to everyone who has put something on here and long may it continue on the new thread . started it in October 2019 . hope its interesting for you all . so now its over to the new Workington 2023 on the nat league section . keep posting , 2023 i section .. its the close season .

Personally rather trust Skidder1 than most on here.

Think it depends what average they use for TJ .No figures given in Berwick announcement.

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

It’s Sunday night, who isn’t wined up Too busy thinking about the Jorgensen/Schlein combo at Berwick and how many 5-1’s they’ll be on the wrong end of against your flash the cash heat leaders

Just wasting time ,no one will stick to it.

Are teams doing everything they can to look outside the box for riders - not just hoping the 250s produces something? Motocross/grass track/etc? How many more Boughens are out there.

No it wasn't,genuine question as a rider mentioned it to me as a possibility.

By my calculations basso, Lawson, Brennan, vissing, nowak, Bowes & Coles comes to 39.98. Would take that personally, plenty entertainment and intrigue.

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!

Good shout tbh.

Bet you wish you never started it now!

Do you not think Brennan will be back

Someone that works in lynn. I think maybe with Brady has said that buster has sold both clubs. I’m guessing one to Brady and the other to maybe crendon ? this is could all be absolute rubbish. But it ties in with the announcement that was never and announcement because the I’s weren’t dotted and t’s not Crossed.

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 .

Needs a nice dry slick track and when he gates he is fine.!! Hope it is just a rumour.!!

Shame if we cannot keep Bomber. Every time that Schlein is at Berwick there appears to be something wrong (not really what you want from a rider who would probably be your number 1).

I would guess it would be at least 8. Still got last season's finals programme at home, so will be in there somewhere.

Don't forget Lawson wasn't fully fit in the early part of the season. For a rider of his calibre in a league not as strong as it was a few years back, 7.91 is easily achievable. You won't any improvement on that, but you should get a decent solid (second?) heat leader

It's the modern way to talk a product up so they don’t lose customers but hopefully speedway fans have a mind of their own and make their decisions regardless of what he says ..... It also seems to be the modern way for journalists to not question what the CEO says so it's not a balanced piece, there's obviously good reason for this when they are a customer of the Star I would certainly have asked why they don't take the GPs to all the best racing tracks in the World and of course ask what went wrong with the Cardiff track and how it will be put right for 2023 .....

Imagine leaving sunny Australia to come out of retirement to ride a Berwick on a Saturday night. Must really hate being back home.

Someone who didn't read the title of CONFIRMED signings lol

This would be laughable if it wasn't so sad... The front of messrs Russell and Osborne seems to have no limits. Have to laugh that the rationale is the lack of multi-use options at Blunsdon. Err...are you not supposed to be building a new stadium? Maybe, just maybe, adjust the plans to accommodate those options? Full of rubbishe...

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

It's probably two when you factor in the other half a dozen who ride in the Prem and not the Champs, I expect another six to eight to reappear next season now the Poles have relaxed the rules. I'm not here to defend the top division as its been shambolic this season and has one decent track in it but there's no doubt its a step up in quality of rider.
