cowboy cookie returns?

Imagine having Kings Lynn on your CV…….

Just seen that announcement by Ipswich….

Probably not but Ipswich need riders to improve next year & King could quite easily slide back a little. If I was putting the team together that’s the 7 I’d have. We’ll see how close I get.

Not sure about the rest but Ipswich Emil 10.10 Ellis 5.56 Brennan 5.87 Wojdylo 5.00 Doyle 9.10 Rew 4.00 D. Thompson

Or as a glory hunting guest

I think the picture is from last years press day when Doyle was number 1 I didn’t see anything in the article to suggest he starts as 1 in 2024

Emil took about three months to sort out however we all know that was because of international politics & clearly a one off. Getting the paperwork for Laguta & Tarensenko to ride here was much faster. They even managed to get Tarensenko clearance to double up within a week. All the hard work with Emil was getting though the red tape. I don’t think it will take that long to get rider clearance again unless Louis is trying to sign a North Korean lol

I can see Danny moving on for two reasons. Firstly after years of waiting he has finally lifted a trophy as Witches skipper. Secondly there isn’t any improvement left & he could quite easily drop back to his pre August form. He has had two bad patches of form over the past couple of years. If they put that team out I’d expect the Pole to be stronger away from home for sure. Even if Danny is back Doyle needs to be skipper much more of a team player in my mind. Danny’s decision to go for gates one & three at Sheffield is still one of the most bizarre decisions I’ve seen.

I think 5 are spot on, including Wojdylo. I have a feeling it could look something like Emil 10.10 Ellis 5.56 Brennan 5.87 Wojdylo 5.00 Doyle 9.10 Rew 4.00 D. Thompson we need riders with plenty of improvement & Ellis, Brennan & Wojodyo gives you far more than having King & Lambert. Thats if I’ve worked the British reduction out correctly I also expect Rew to kick on as well.

But these days with all the doubling up & guesting is that really an issue? After all when on this forum someone criticises the sport the standard reply is look beyond the team aspect & just enjoy the racing. To keep the sport & the league going until Wolves can return just guest support Birmingham for a year

That’s great a real positive step, hopefully it will provide something far better than the old what the fans think page on the British speedway site. Just for old times & a laugh here is my favourite……. From the first race it became obvious that, despite this being a testimonial, the riders meant business. As they jostled for position around the tight bends, every sinew straining to keep control of the sliding back wheels, the crowd roared on their favourite, struggling to be heard over the deep growl of the engines. The blur of sound and colour, as they passed only yards away, was replaced by the one sensation that, for me, made the whole experience real. The exhaust fumes from the methanol fuel forced their way up my nostrils and left an overpowering but not unpleasant lingering smell reminiscent of cooking oil. It was at this point that I felt a connection with my fellow spectators, as if I had just experienced some rite of passage, which no amount of armchair viewing could bestow upon

Doesn’t matter about Dan, I’ve just seen Hitler has invaded Poland so I think the season will be postponed!

Louis better invest in some dummies for the Holder brothers & a bleep machine for Woffy

Be better if with Riss

Not a million miles away but Wojodylo needs to fit in there somehow

Harris riding for Oxford in both league’s would make sense, at least he wouldn’t appear as a guest against them.

With the restriction on Extraliga riders being lifted it’s a far bet Rew will now be back. I wonder who the other 4 will be ?

Doesn’t matter now

It’s been postponed until the weekend. When they arrived they found the hotel had been doubled booked by a polish stag party. Apparently they were told that the polish have priority on Wednesday, Thursday’s & Friday’s. If that wasn’t bad enough they then found out that the hotel staff don’t want to work at weekends so they will have to bring in guests to cover but there is a shortage because some are already doubling up at a hotel around the corner.

Laguta racing fan

Perhaps Chris Harris could double up for both? Or has he already signed for Glasgow?

I don’t get why MT is given a hard time. It’s perfectly possible that the figure the club was up for sale for last winter coupled with cost of developing any new site made it unviable. Or there was/is no guarantee of finding a new site. As a business man either of those scenarios would make it impossible to go ahead with a purchase as it makes the club almost worthless from a financial point of view. As an individual would you have brought a house last November that you knew was going to be demolished the following October that would then have zero value. I’m not knocking the efforts to keep your great club going I wish you all the best.

Was indeed although he was an Ipswich rider at the time,

I think Patryk W is signed up elsewhere

I’d prefer if you could have any of you top 5 ride in any order, bring back some team tactics.
