Can you both disappear back to the Poole thread, don't want this pathetic rubbish on here.

Hi there I'm a Nigerian Prince, I wonder if you could help me? ....

Lions manager Stewart Dickson’s Rider of the Year was Sam Masters, whilst skipper Max Fricke took the Supporters’ Club award. Luke Becker, who along with Richard Lawson, was racing in Germany on Saturday, was named as Most Improved Rider. What planet are people on? Surely Lawson wins rider of the season ! And becker most improved? HE dropped half a point on his average . Totally mind boggling

Wherever he ends up he should be encouraged rather than vilified a young kid who clearly has talent but a raw talent. Starting a thread questioning if a young kid is dangerous is over the top.

OK, if the grown-ups can have this thread back, the interesting news from today is that Eastbourne are submitting an application to join the NDL next season, staging home matches at Iwade. I do wonder what sort of response they'll get.

Probably best to stick that on pigs might fly in the 3:30 at Kempton 🏇

Because if he did he wouldn't be able to give his expert analysis on BSN!!!

Not many have done more for Speedway than Uncle Len. R.I.P.

At home it would

Sentiment has to go out of the window it’s all about team building with numbers adding up as you know

Why should the brummie fans pay anything towards the clubs debt?, like most of the population they too will be counting their pennies.

It's like school sports day, everyone's a winner and everybody gets a prize.

No Luke Killeen makes it no contest. trophy 31 on its way Hope we get some good racing

An 😂😂😂🦜

Crashfield 😂, did you come up with that yourself 👏🏻, have a wee gold star for your clever wit and banter. Why would Glasgow buy another new fence when they've already bought FIM safety Fence for the 2025 season? Back to the playground and try and pick up some better 'banter' , least be bitter and funny rather than just bitter and attention seeking.

Think she was just deflated 🤔

He had a good innings and kept the sport going at great financial cost to himself. Lived and breathed Speedway. Former Provincial league riders champion but as others have said he really came to the fore as a promoter. Inextricably linked to Hackney and Rye House, particularly the latter where the sport only existed because of him and his financial input. One of the best if not the best GB team managers in his day despite backstabbing from other promoters with half his ability. Throw in the fact that he was a top rate track curator and we see there weren’t many areas a of the sport where he was wasn’t a powerful force. The sport is now a poorer place without him

God help him Hancocks ruined janowski and now wozniak.

Sad news...a true promoter. RIP

Sad news always enjoyed my regular visits to Rye, RIP Len.

Need to bring back Peterborough first so the finals can be held there

good point he wouldn't have come cheap for sure ?? not the best choice by a long way !!

Bailey has put all of his equipment up for sale and it would be madness to put Zischke in the 1-5 with no top league experience and with him returning from a big injury. 40.00 limit and the team picks itself. Kurtz, Bewley, Lidsey, Blodorn, Zischke & Mulford (RS) + Z. Cook/Rew/Ellis at No.4 (Ipswich will keep King imo)

Let's hope PCC Councillors are of a similar mind

The Cairns are close with Greg Hancock who as well all know mentors Luke Becker and William Cairns. So Luke will be a lion next season. I can see Sedgmen signing. He had great start to the season riding at 2 but lost form towards the end .

Fricke 9.14, Lawson 6.91, Becker 6.57 & Masters 7.32 leaves 9.06/10.06 for a No.2 & No.6 depending on a 39.00 or 40.00 limit. If it's a 39.00 limit then Zach Cook 5.57 & Leon Flint 3.00 but it would leave you weak at reserve and you'd think the Lions management wouldn't want to go down that route again after it backfired with Kemp. Two from the following pool if it's a 40.00 limit -> Wiktor Lampart 4.93, Justin Sedgmen 4.79, Lewis Kerr 4.77, Craig Cook 4.55 & Connor Mountain 4.38. I agree, Becker was awful for most of the season, Well in with the management though isn't he? So could be a case of playing favourites.

I’m not his biggest fan ,but it scandalous that Madsen did not get a wild card.

You won't win anything next season with those 2 reserves what ever the points limit is. Heavy reliance on the top 5 to score 40+ and the middle order (especially after Zischke's injury) is unreliable. I'd go as far as to say, that 7 is horrific

Catching up on Speedway Stars I've missed, don't know if this was mentioned but how was James Pearson able to guest for Jordan Jenkins. Jordan's average was 3.74, but as a foreigner Pearson should be on a minimum 4.00 regardless of his Champ average right? Just as well he didn't score & Sheffield won.

I agree, I know one rider don’t make a team. But his scoring power at both tracks will be missed badly and result in a Poole win on both tracks this time

Kurtz/ Zischke/Lidsey/cook /bewley/ Bailey / Mulford =39.98

2024 Polish Ekstraliga averages Amazingly, no less than FIVE out of the top eight Ekstraliga riders will not be in the SGP next year (Laguta, Madsen, Kolodziej, Sayfutdinov and Jepsen Jensen)

I disagree. It's not far wrong.

free entry and lock them in... forever!

Could be a while then as the UK hasn't got a pot to p155 in! Maybe someone should start a crowd funding page for the junction 😂

*You’re* 😂😂

Yes, but look who started it. Says it all really. I have enjoyed watching him at Poole this season, entertaining and edge of your seat whenever he is out. If he ends up with you guys, he'll definitely get a good reception when he comes back down here.

It will be a Poole win this time at Oxford now Killeen isn’t riding.

Probably want to get the play-offs semi finals organised, give them lots of time to publicise it. For commercial reasons obviously

Should be a simple Pirates victory with that long tail for Oxford

I would be surprised if we end up with only one Holder. Thought the 2 came as a package

you carry on being a miserable sod as ever, meanwhile the people who actually go to lynn will carry on enjoying their nights out and be happy about life 👍

So from the chit chat in the Panorama Room at the Woffinden talk last night the latest Sheffield news was Woffinden, Pickering and Rowe in the 2025 team with Pickering given the captain role. Assuming with that then one of the Holder’s is going and Howarth also, shame on both counts as Holder’s would have at least kept their average and Howarth a steal on his average team building wise as can easily improve that

You're forgetting, Arnie, that woke can mean anything the speaker or writer wants it to mean. Usually it just means anything you disagree with.

It's pure capitalism which is the very antithesis of woke.

In reality, the crowds were very much better this year than for a long time.

They were gonna try that with the jubilee league, but changed their mind, probably because they thought they wouldn't get a good crowd for a neutral venue. I don't think 1st & 2nd would be happy that everyone gets an extra home match except them!

I tend to agree with this complainant. I think the Speedway Star is gradually concentrating more and more on the Continental scene at the expense of British news. I think it's still a decent read but there are increasing parts of the magazine such as the "Polish Scene" and the Grasstrack news, that I never read.

Didn't Sheffield win this after heat 12 but nobody seemed to realise, Ippo had 73 to Tigers 89 with only 15 points still available to Ippo
