Panic stations at Wimborne Road since Glasgow announced their line-up.

I’d put the crack pipe down and re post in morning pal

1 Worky 2 Redcar 3 scunny 4 berwick 5 Edinburgh 6 Oxford 7 Plymouth 8 Poole 9 Glasgow 😜😜🤣🤣🤣

our season normally finishes before Butlins 😁

Sorry but Lee complins non negative drug test must be bigger letdown

Its supposed to be a development league, the ‘winnings’ should be potential riders for the future, not a shiny £10 trophy and a picture in the Star. If clubs stuck to the principles and the recommended pay rates , there wouldn't be a ‘them and us’ attitude and clubs like Buxton , Mildenhall and even the Isle if Wight may still be running in the NDL but some clubs, and we all know who, have a win at all costs attitude and do what they want and not necessarily whats best for the sport. This coming season will see very few new faces in the league, just a couple of lads turning 15 will be about it as there has been precious little new riders taking up the sport. Attitudes need to change , more effort made to get kids on bikes, make the sport cheaper and not dearer as the new regs are doing or there wont be a future. There will always be winners and losers but at this level, it doesn't really matter !

Excuse me Scunthorpe is more akin to downtown Gaza

I’ve not stated about winning things I’ve asked about your racetrack and the racing on it . So a serious few questions . is the racing at Poole better than Glasgow = NO Redcar = No Oxford = No Scunthorpe = No Workington = No Berwick = debate able Edinburgh = Yes Plymouth =Yes Poole are very good on there own track and certain away tracks I admit but I could not watch speedway at Poole as Speedway is allegedly classed as an entertainment as well .so winning at the detriment of providing entertainment you keep watching it in Poole while I’ll visit tracks were there is good hard racing for 4 laps each race and not just the first 80 metres of the first lap

With the biggest Attendance.Must be the winning formula.🤔👌

Although the Championships largest attendances don't seem to agree with you.

Edinburgh won the champ convincingly a few years back with masters, cook, sedgy side with some pretty duff reserves. Clegg and Aaron fox I think it was averaged just over 3. So there is a precedent

Yes it is as if Glasgow have any chance of winning. We shall have to see if the team is as good as some seem to think or is someone a little bit over confident!

Max Fricke, known as Jigsaw because he goes to pieces in the play offs... 😉

Although, having watched some of his international rides, it was like a totally different rider turned up in Glasgow.

Thanks didn’t realise that.The Official Website is too busy telling us about Cribby to bother with any recent developments.🤔

Reading last weeks S Star it is exactly the same article that featured in the Nov 21st edition. With nothing happening news wise the old copy and paste came into action.

Pleased to see you took it in the way it was intended Phil

When Eastbourne rode at Arlington fans came from all over south east with many having a journey of 60 mins plus. There’s no walk-up crowd as there is at Oxford or Poole for example. Arlington is down a narrow country lane off the A22 in the Sussex countryside as Mr Millard was apt to say on Sky

If the temp reserve has a 2.3 average, he can be replaced by a 2 point rider. If clubs make a single change, they can sign someone on an equal or lower average, don't have to fit under the points limit. I can't see Paul Starke being the temporary signing as he's 99 likely to score more than his reserve partner (can't think of any 2 point riders who would outscore him).

I reckon I'll be partaking in one for the first time since the Waggy years, very decent value.

Dont get too excited too soon, lot of rumours about discontent in this NDL 2 set up . It certainly doesnt make sense geography wise when Workingtons neighbours, Edinburgh , Redcar and Sheff/Scuny dont have to travel to Plymouth , Kent or Kings Lynn in mid week for a meaningless development fixture. Surely a north south split would have been more sensible and might even attract fans to travel.

One thing I was always critical about was that season tickets didn't offer value for money. You often only had to miss one meeting for any saving to disappear. But for the past couple of years things have been much better in that regard and think the 2025 one offers some decent value. As someone who attends every home meeting and always buys a programme, a saving of £6.50 makes the risk worthwhile. Add in that it's a team I'm looking forward to watching plus being able to walk straight in without hardly queuing, makes getting one a no brainer for me.

Because he went off the throttle. Nothing to do with the track. Oxford fans say he been doing it for a while. Interesting to see if he does it next season.

Thats Ashton for you.

But successful and entertaining teams also have to win away,as Poole did this year at every track in either League, Cup or BSN.

Are speedway attendances released? I heard your cleaning staff are still finding our empty bottles of champagne at Wimborne Road from when we swaggered down to Dorset fourteen months ago, won the league and paraded the trophy around your stadium.

1. Redcar 💪 2. Glasgow 3. Workington 4. Oxford 5. Scunthorpe 6. Poole 7. Edinburgh 8. Berwick 9. Plymouth

Yes, I think it's a risk, but I guess you could argue those riders have the biggest potential to improve their average, meaning if the others just deliver even what they managed last year, that's a very good position to be in. We'll see what happens. Personally, I don't think the Glasgow team is obviously stronger than anyone else we've seen so far, and it's hard to judge until the other teams are complete. I'm liking that quite a few teams have had a bit of a shakeup, so plenty opportunity for things to pan out differently next year.

Ended the season in 2014 with sneddon and fox at reserve. Sedgy and Steve worrall started the year at reserve. Was clegg and Branford in 2015.

That means there's no developments to mention

No, the rider has already signed . They just like to spread out the announcements

As he hasn't ridden for Poole for about 3 years not sure what you mean.

New Zealand to ban greyhound racing, citing high injury rates - BBC News only a matter of time for Uk to follow I would have thought...

If the Swedish duo of Kim Nilsson & Jacob Thorsell complete the Brummies septet it has an aging but reliable solid look to it

I can only assume you didn’t see any Glasgow meetings last season, or you’ve suffered a serious brain injury. The word ”woeful” doesn’t even cut it. The biggest letdown in the history of Glasgow speedway.

Well I’ve already got it wrong with Jeppesson coming in instead of Hansen. But, to answer your question Kim

According to the Belle Vue fans, Woffy is a bit of a polisher.

Visit the NSS twice a week to polish the Premiership Trophy....

That is true BUT NOT what I said!

Please not Berwick

Could do Without You in this conversation......

Ask Oxford...

Stefan ?
