Another great signing for the whole league, good to see some big names back and hopefully that results in higher attendances for all.

We've been rebranded, its now Purple Rinse Army

I know I'll get shot down in flames, but the times I have spoken to Nicki at length he is a really nice and engaging person. Obviously I wouldn't want to race against him tho....

Great to see Danyon confirmed A wonderful guy and 100% trier with steel balls the size of planets!

Translation I held out for a few more quid , they got desperate and blinked so I'm here

Reading through the various comments I’m just glad some people aren’t picking the team, we’d have a team of nice lads who would probs get thrashed at home but it doesn’t matter cos they are nice…get a grip, I want winners

A true car salesman... what a load of old guff, red and black felt a bit stale in 2022, well it didn't in 2021, doesn't matter what colour you're riding in, it's about results on the track. If it was a full rebrand you'd drop the Panther... probably more to do with merchandise sales imo

Really happy for Hume. After the Championship Pairs at Oxford last year, he stayed behind after Glasgow went out. Went and thanked all the fans for making the trip, and stayed for autographs and photos with kids long after everybody else had gone home - all the time with a huge smile on his face. Genuinely nice guy

From Racers and royals : Good news regarding Ace Pijper he has now been released from hospital and although very battered and bruised, nothing is broken.

Possibly not just the opposition.......

Not at all, he is one of the nicest, and most generous of people in speedway. Right up until he puts his helmet on. Then he becomes another person altogether.

Great to see a other top rider and entertainer back in the UK. I think the signing of Pedersen to Peterborough and Sayfutdinov to Ipswich are probably two of the biggest signings to happen in the the last 10-15 years.Really looking forward to watching them both.

https://ipswichwitches.co/2023-signing-danyon-hume/ Team complete finally. 3.07 average confirmed.

Holder and Tungate is a better duo than Nicki and Worrall.

He's still down as TM on the club website, but then again, Danny King is still down as the track record holder so accuracy doesn't kick in for about 4 years.

I doubt Lindgren was ever going to sign for Peterborough, surely if he rode here again it would be for Wolves.

The size and shape of the track has not been changed. We have just been carrying out repairs and maintenance.

100% agree with this - very pleased i would have really felt for him had he not been recalled for 2023

Fantastic signing and wonderful to see Nicki Pedersen back on British shores. Cannot wait to make various trips to Peterborough this year.

You're not invited

Has Nicki let Buster down, as well as his team mates, fans and made himself look silly. I don't think so

I'm going to sing the Elsa song to you in a minute

Should have told Buster that about Holder then!

Good to see Pedersen back in the UK, he definitely isn't the rider he was but I would be stunned if he doesn't average at least 8.5! Pedersen and NKI around Peterborough should score a hatful of points, away from home too as long as they stay fit. Doesn't look half as bad a team as some think!

3 streams left to go, tonight is the Championship Quarter Final Leg 2 match against the Poole 'Pirates'. Premiering at 7pm on YouTube. Enjoy.

With Shovlar busted (literally) and Skidder a busted flush (metaphorically) your the only Poole Forum Heat Leader who doesn't look way past their best Lisa. A few inconsistent second strings but you'll certainly need some new young blood for the coming Forum season. Forget any Aussies they just moan and whine.

It’s ridiculous, I don’t interact with them so I couldn’t care less. I do care if my team if winning though & a lot of teams in this league seem to have fairly equal sides which means a lot of tight meetings, certainly no time for nicety’s

Emil must be 100% done then. Thought they’d keep Danyon back until all the paperwork was complete but this surely now removes any doubt. Exciting times! I’m a fan of Danyon too by the way, as said above he’s one gutsy rider who gives everything he’s got. Can’t ask for anymore than that from a supporters perspective.

Superb to have Pedersen back in the league. I’ll make the long trip down to Foxhall on the 23rd. Pedersen Doyle and Sayfutdinov? Bit tasty that!

And it changed from six to seven man teams that winter. Also the World Champion saw the light and came to the nice part of East Anglia

It has that winning feel about it,sedgmen and Allen will be fine home and away so get behind them both,fricke needs to lift when it matters and that should keep him in the number 1 position ,how does a team with so many ausies loose ?

Eh up here's Lindgrens No1 fan resurfaced

Hmmm, each side with four guests and r/r? Let's hope, sincerely, that the coming season -- in all three leagues -- is never reduced to anything approaching this sad chaos .......

Not actually the strongest team though, top 2 are quality but the rest are distinctly average

Hope I'm wrong, but Pedersen will drop at least a point off his average in my opinion

Touché

A great guy and fondly remembered in Scotland following his times at Motherwell in the 50s, Glasgow White City in the 60s and at Blantyre in the 70s where he helped with the track. Affable and always seemed to have time to chat to supporters, his autograph was a work of art. I'll include a fuller tribute in next months Classic Speedway Memories on line magazine.

You do know KK is back at Lynn don't you

Same here. I really don't care about a riders personality because personality doesn't = points.

98

Maybe on track but less so with there attitudes from what we’ve all heard

Bluey Scott is not the same as Jack Scott ,El Addio. They are both as you say a rich part of speedway history though.

...are there a queue of teams waiting on Troy Batchelor?

At least 5 of those have retired, two have declared they aren’t riding in the UK and another two have long term injury issues.

Or just put the two minutes on as soon as the race is stopped. The hold up isn't the two minute warning, it's not putting the two minute warning on quick enough. So not putting the shiny new one minute warning on quick enough will still mean there is some hanging about. If there was actually two minutes between a stoppage and a restart, it wouldn't be a problem in the first place.

And Havvy lol
