Unfortunately a few on here think the promotion have money to throw at speedway !! But if run to a budget hopefully the club will prosper.

Going to miss it neil away on hols,but going to sponsor somebodys fuel .

Nice spot she came across well,jeff brown a good friend of speedway

thats no quite true , and i do think it will be a surprise to most when final rider is announced and prove that certain posters on here know nothing

Not sure of details , just got information from Facebook .

I assume from that you are not happy? GP riders in the field , a good cause to help injured riders now and in the future.

Theres a whisper that all future testimonials will have to be held on Sundays!!!

Postponed not posponed

The "others" have signed their contracts, so whatever they've agreed to, is what they've agreed to, which means the promotion don't need to pay them any extra to what was agreed in the first place!!

Who knows anything about riders pay deals,certainly nobody on this forum.IMO.

Maybe a better option is some of the southern based younger riders, like anders Rowe, but probably not too keen to travel north and like others too fixed on a possible polish option

Obviously you don't know how businesses work and to keep in business you have to stick to your business plan, that means don't burst your budget

It's not been cancelled, as Skidder has said, it's been postponed due to rider availability. Hopefully a new date in the summer can be arranged and well deserved for Kyle.

Of the top three Leicester have just signed from Wolves, Douglas actually had a higher GSA away from Monmore last season than at home over all meetings, and Masters rode at number 1. He won’t be anywhere near it at Leicester with Fricke there. They look a cut above to me. We’ll see.

Leicester look the pick here for me. Someone earlier in the thread made a good point, Leicester have the Wolves top 3 from last year, a Wolves team that finished second in the table. And they have added Max Fricke and Richard Lawson on top of that! That’s potent. They’ve also been smart and used all the points gained from Kemp’s 25% reduction, something Ipswich haven’t done with Jenkins 25% reduction. Ipswich will still join them in the top 4 though and pretty comfortably this time. They’ve fixed the Riss issue with Ellis and they’ve also got one of the better rising stars fit in Dan Thompson. Finally having a rising star that could contribute in meetings turned their season around last year. Oxford will also comfortably make the top four IMO. The only question mark with them is the fitness of a few returning injured riders. They could be slow burners if it takes them a while to get up to speed but if they do, I expect them to be strong. Solid all through the top 5 and the best reserve in the league in Kerr. The last spot isn’t quite as clear cut. Of the remaining sides I think Lynn look the best. Big fan of Musielak and he’ll do a good job for them at #1. Look to have Wotsit on a bargain average going by his performances for Peterborough last year and I’d expect him to swap with Palm Toft after the first change in averages meaning Lynn also will have a strong reserve all year. Not convinced with either Sheffield or Belle Vue this time. Belle Vue will need Bewley to be the 9+ rider we know he’s capable of being, rather than the 8 point rider we saw last year. If he steps it up a gear, Belle Vue have a potent top 3 with Kurtz and Lidsey that could see them challenge for a play off spot. Bewley the key here. Sheffield have the weakest reserve pairing in the league, which is a problem when you have a rider or two in the top 5 who are a bit flakey. Chris Holder isn’t the rider he once was, far from it, and neither is Woffinden. I think both will be hit and miss this year especially away from home and when they’re having one of those nights where they don’t want to know, that’s when you need your reserves to chip in to cover and this is where Sheffield will struggle. Good luck Birmingham..

The most sensible part of this new idea is that it is only for two meetings, then hopefully it will be dropped.
