So Nicki announces his own signing.... Presume Peterborough must be hanging fire to see if Denmark invades anyone.....?

Is that another dart landed? It looks like I'm winning that speed boat after all.

Doyle V Pedersen heat 1 in a little over three weeks

Reading on the press release he's bought a lot of the Sarj's gear. Wonder if he'll be able to prevent them going through the tapes

No that was cheating as well

More glorious nuggets from the vaults. Thoughts and prayers to all those involved, Godspeed.

They will indeed old bean. Wowzers. The vaults can certainly be an unforgiving place LOL

Hope it's not to serious

Wolves team doesnt look that bad to be honest ....might surprise a few .....

Skidder1 NEVER MAKES A MISTAKE

Signing announcement on Tuesday. They might as well just do it in the morning as it’s the worst kept secret in speedway

How did you take this in a negative light? While it does state the PZM 'can' block any rider on one of its licences, it pretty much says they wont. In fact it's got a quote from Piotr Szymanski, the GKSZ chairman, saying "As long as the regulations of individual countries allow these players to drive in other league competitions, we will also agree to this...I have nothing against them performing in Great Britain..."

Seems a little bit of envy on here, great work by Ipswich to create such interest and excitement for British speedway

Daft rule. Could end waiting longer. Movement at the start one minute goes on. Rider misses the one minute. Fresh 2 minutes go on for a replacement. Just do what all other leagues do in the world 2 minute clock and if you’re not at the tapes by then you’re out. Don’t know why we love to complicate things in Britain.

It is a lovely venue. A few years I cycled my bike around the track on Boxing Day just to say I'd 'ridden' it. You could just walk in - no-one was there.

Ah ..Away from the mainstream media Nutty right wing websites you mean lol

And those who believe all the propaganda they read on twitter, and those who don't

Is there a dart board left with the amount of darts that have been thrown

I meant ZK IN 21 and HA in 22. Sorry for the confusion. What with Crumpy and Bjarne also in 21, there are so many Poole assets riding for other teams one tends to lose track!

If the PZM were so against Emil then he wouldn't even be riding in the Ekstraliga next season let alone Britain, The fact that the PZM have been backing down gradually tells you everything you need to know. Anyone would think Emil has walked into Donbass with a Kalashnikov by the amount of hate he's received, He's personally done nothing wrong and he's just a Speedway rider who wants to live his dream.

Think you'll find ZC is also now a Poole asset as he couldn’t ride for Plymouth any more due to the Tuesday Polish U.24 league. All part of facilitating the Kelleher and Andersen arrangements to ride for Plymouth last season!

Need to give this fella a chance before writing him off.

Of course you’re not happy because you’ve spent the entire winter putting up your little laughing emoji’s whenever someone posted that Ipswich were actively trying to sign him and posting regularly that Ipswich were wasting their time and it was never going to happen. Now they’ve signed him it’s made you look a bit stupid!

Affected Plymouth in a way as if we had Nathan then they would have had Roynon? Nathan not too bad at Plymouth, maybe should have gone for him.

I’m sure Ben will talk Nicki through his experience of getting fenced by Jason last summer down the back straight

Although it's good to see Dan riding in the Premiership as a rising star, surely he is, without question, Championship material. The mad maths that has him riding in division 1 and 3 but not 2 is a bit bonkers.

Are you sure you dont mean 46 points mr negative .

Club haven’t had much luck announcing signings (or won’t be signing) on their own terms this winter have they

Lets hope ah....The more box office riders the better....

You heard it here first....

Glad you’re so happy with your teams choices and actions, have you ever stopped to think the timing of the announcement was carefully planned for the anniversary of the invasion for maximum media exposure? I’m also happy, safe in the knowledge that CVS would never stoop so low.

According to Wikipedia he played in goal for Gillingham but i hope the switch to speedway suits him better

Shows what lowering Team averages are doing for GB Speedway.

I'd have thought the only way to do it comprehensively initially is to include all riders who were in a 1-7 at some point in 2022 and then remove them from that starting point.

PUK-ING BRILLIANT!! We are delighted to announce that the final piece into the jigsaw for the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting is multiple Grand Prix winner, and multiple Danish Champion NIELS KRISTIAN IVERSEN Niels who is affectionately known as Puk is back in the UK for 2023 to lead the Peterborough Panthers and this morning confirmed that he would be able to join us. “Niels actually rode in a meeting held for me at Rye House a few years ago and one of my overriding memories was the cracking night we had in the bar afterwards!” Said Robbo “He has been a top top rider for a very long time and it’s great for British Speedway that riders like Niels are back racing regularly and it will also give the Redcar public a chance to see another quality rider on the day. Only 3 weeks to go now, and we are getting back to the excitement stage!.” Robbo's Farewell

Here's an even crazier idea... how about reassembling the teams that qualified for the competition and running it as their first matches of the season and getting the bloody thing out of the way, that way the fans that traveled the country following their team last season under the crazy notion that if their team qualified for a final they would actually get to see it. As it stands at Leicester we qualified for the play off final and the Jubilee Trophy final and have seen neither!

Just need you to tell us who the 7th rider is at brum and your god like status will be restored.

Jake Turner confirmed by Plymouth https://www.facebook.com/plymouthgladiators

Not all Polish fans are happy for him to resume racing in their native Poland. Opinions are divided in the same way as in England.

OK, well agree to disagree otherwise we'll go round in circles that my sanity can't cope with. But hopefully going forward season ending injuries will continue to be allowed new signings to cover them.

It's a 4 point rider... can't see what any excitement or concern this/that would cause . Morris on a 10 is the damage and fault for the season IMO

If you would kindly mention which riders you mean then I will deduct them from my list

Just to correct the last paragraph - I was in the Peter Craven Suite last night for the amazing celebration of Steve Casey’s life so checked. At the top of the stairs, outside the suite, in gold letters, it says “Peter Craven Suite”. Below that, there is a photograph of the “Wizard of balance” himself. So yes there is a mention and yes there is a photo

Ipswich The other 6 also rans Only kidding , I actually think it's a very tight and competitive league. Extra strength all over and much more worthy of being a 'top' division than has been seen for some time

'I don't know what the English wanted to prove. Probably their own stupidity and ignorance. Or maybe they wanted to "celebrate" the anniversary of Russia's attack on Ukraine in this way? It's outrageous. They don't have an ounce of decency - said the former Polish international, Jan Krzystyniak. Sayfutdinov is not a Pole and I will repeat it all the time. He was, is and will be a Russian for me and no passport will change that. The mere fact of allowing him to compete is outrageous, because as long as the war lasts, Russian athletes should be excluded from all competitions. And what the English have done is the height of rudeness. After all, they could have announced this contract a few days earlier, or a few days later, if only out of respect for all the victims of this war. For me, they are either ignorant people who do not know what is happening in Europe, or egoists who do not care about human suffering and do not look further than the tip of their own noses, concluded Krzystyniak.

He was the most talented/ best rider on show that night.. Ex World Champ. All the Poole team rode it. Be honest, he was sitting on the wrong side of the pits, and spat his dummy out when he got the chance. He didn't want to be there, and would of rode the same track that night if he was in the Poole team. What he should of done is show Poole they were wrong to dump him over his average and do the best he could to repay Buster's faith in him and giving him a job.

There must be some way of making sure that Kemp, Rowe and Thompson have Championship spots if they want them before handing out work permits for similar standard non Brits.

Lowering the Average’s is doing no favours to British Speedway,regarding bringing on British youngsters.At least 3 or 4 are missing out this season because of it IMO.

I agree, from an adults perspective, yes, they are boring.....but when I was a kid and I hadn't seen a wheel turned since the previous September....I couldn't wait to go...just the noise and the smell would captivate me ! say no more!
