How can you accuse someone of having no clue, then suggest Louis is waiting on the 'Emil situation'. You too have no clue as nobody at Ipswich has even suggested they're chasing the signature of Emil Sayfutdinov. You're also guessing & working with hearsay. Don't be such a little baby over other people's opinions

Making up as they go along as usual.

The big joke is the ignoring of the forth meeting, boughan didnt get that luxury and saw his average nearly double which must have had an impact on his bargaining power and hurts Leicesters team building capabilities

I will bring this up again but how can Roynon join on a 6.00 average? He rode in 4 official meetings for Plymouth last season and gained an average of 8.67! https://britishspeedway.co.uk/2022-rider-statistics/ Or by some absurdity if they are ignoring that, then he didn’t officially ride NL last season so his average should be his Championship average doubled. That is now 3.56 * 2 = 7.12. Not 6.00 which he joined the NL on midway through last season.

Oh look another prat who thinks he knows better than the actual promoter working on the deal!!

Think you need to realise why some people need six fingers,and it's totally opposite to what you have said

I agree, it’s not hard to do at last one good story a week, news this year has been dreadful. And people wonder why the sport is in the mess it is.

Carl Johnson was on the radio saying panthers sell the most season tickets in the league

Just got to hope that no listening devices have been discovered in the pursuit of the facts !!

If this doesnt happen it will most likely be Peterborough's last season with a speedway team , Chapman will sell off what he can and provide scant resources as the season progresses . David Hawkins at least had Mikal Blixt to sell Chapmans got track equipment and naff all else

Just as well they started at least 3 months ago then.......

Exactly and there must be consistency within the application of the rules, to uphold the integrity of the sport.

The Floodlights at the showground are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, best place for them are the skip if the move does happen

If you get so triggered by posts you don't like that you start hurling abuse around I'd suggest the BSF might not be for you.

1. The 6.00 wasn’t assessed, it was his Championship average doubled which is how you equate an average when a rider is dropping down. 2. He did do enough meetings last season! He did 4 meetings which is all that is needed to get a new average. 3. Like I said previously, if for some reason they’re ignoring last season, then he should drop down on his current Championship average doubled.

This is like a world heavyweight boxing match between gasser and flappy. which team is right. Who’s going to get the knockout. place your bets below

You must of had a bad day

From what I believe when enquired about Roynon they were told he’d be on his 6.00 assessed as was given for Plymouth. As he hadn’t done enough to get a proper average he stays on his assessed one given. Academy just following what the BSPA have decided.

No different to most other teams this year stretching the rules

Actually not sure about Leicester. In the past they’re definitely brought the best away following! Well supported. Agree to a point. Once the team is announced not sure any amount of interviews will provide the same amount of interest as outstanding team members will. But, in this day and age there’s no reason why clubs and promoters can’t do a weekly or even monthly, blog on official social media with the latest updates on club matters even if it’s not team related. For instance, Louis at Ipswich told folks who attended the supporters club thingy that they were hoping to stage the much loved 16 lapper this year, as well as adding banking to the track etc. anyone who didn’t attend would have no idea of that, why isn’t it on the official website? It should be. As you say, it’s really not hard to do.

'Team Pedersen' consists of 10 episodes of 22 minutes duration. The program premieres on Kanal 5 and discovery+ on Thursday 9 February. Kanal 5 at 1900

I’ll counter that, I’ll bet none of those have sold more season tickets than Ipswich..

I know some fans get impatient, but here we are six weeks from opening night and the Peterborough and Ipswich threads are the only ones still active. The Belle Vue, Lynn, Sheffield, Leicester and Wolves threads have died a death. At least waiting this long has kept fans interested and speculating over the long winter months! OK some will say it’s been nothing but a load of old guff and drivel but still

This would actually be a good team tbf But it's not the team

Wherever he lays his hat, thats his home,!!!!!lol

Only the mods can pin a topic and I understood that they were asked but for unknown reasons have not done so.

If anyone knows when this is going to broadcast perhaps they could post on here.........................................................So I know when not to switch the tv on.

Like a Danish version of Keeping up with the Kardashians

There will be no superstars fact There will be a Chris Holder racesuit doing the rounds as a collectors item

Well six weeks today so at least we know the end game is near

Only one announcement we need now is Buster stepping down and handing over to Tomalin and his team.

You’d think Emil would be every bit if not more expensive than Doyle so the dough in theory should still be there for someone else of a decent calibre if that doesn’t come off. Six weeks tomorrow we face Peterborough at Foxhall so it’s creeping up on us!

You would like to think,, they have already sounded out another couple of riders,, just in case plan A couldn't be done in time. Maybe plan B is a another decent rider on a short term contract until plan A is sorted,,, or maybe there is a plan C with a duffer or 2

A better signing was the Czech rider for Poole 2 years ago …never showed , but it was ok for them to use r/r for a couple of months until a better rider was sourced . Plymouth are looking at doing the same as the precedent has already been sent .

Still a great meeting though . Entertainment as it should be

You have absolutely no idea on the ins and out of this situation. You’re not working on the deal are you? Got to love this forum with all these keyboard experts.

I don't know where a lot of the franchise names originate from in speedway, some are more obvious than others, Ipswich Witches for example or Wolverhampton Wolves. Many franchise names in other sports have some kind of local connection, Sheffield Wednesday "Owls", Owlerton, San Francisco 49ers in NFL for the miners... what would they be for past or present Speedway clubs? I'll start you off: Scunthorpe Steelers

Quite a query that!

It was a fantastic event, despite the desert conditions! It was mentioned a few times at meetings, but the club could have advertised it better. No idea how the attendance compared to the meetings at other tracks though.

Redcar can run any open meetings they want, calling it a Newcastle select , they will pay riders costs and hope Newcastle fans will travel down for a speedway fix

Just £10 more than Redcar charged then.

Dear god, please let it be Sam Ermolenko... Get him OFF the mics

Correct a mini track has been installed on the right hand side as you enter the site... all coming together with the delivery of the seating which is a massive mecano set... the pits are 80% built... lights tapes and other trackside equipment ready to go in... New generator acquired that will potentially run the full site... time will be tight but everyone is pulling together... UTC.... an all that... Regards THJ

Newcastle Select. Perhaps you would prefer the fixture not to take place. Home promoters pay all 16 in an open meeting, relax

Can I mention that the Tyne Tees Trophy was run over two legs and as Newcastle do not have a Track, Promoter or any Riders registered in their name who will pay anybody for riding under the Newcastle name for this meeting, I wonder if Redcar will be glad to pay the extra money hoping that a good crowd attends from Newcastle. I'm sure that the the BSPA will not sanction a team put out in the name of Newcastle since they stopped many teams from using a former clubs name from riding at another track, Cradley Heath springs to mind.

I think the laddie needs to stop wearing upside down plant pots on his head, get a haircut, toughen up a bit and spend less time on producing calenders etc. Seems to be a case of more style than substance (of the right sort)

I have to admit I thought he was a class act...the "King" of "Glam Rock". I still occasionally listen to his music now. He may be disgraced but you can't take away the impact he had on the music scene during the early/middle seventies.

I seem to recall that the rising star label was only applicable for two seasons for any rider. But if Drew Kemp has not been selected by any of the Premiership or Championship clubs then he needs to take a long hard look at himself & answer his own questions

On witches website, Rew is a 4.00 they wouldn't put wrong one and highly doubt it would change after being announced Could be Holder got re-assessed to an 8.00 tieing in with a previous comment about iverson not being number 1
