Daniel Smith

That was 2025 Championship conversion to which he hadn't achieved an official Premiership average. So his new assessed average should be his 2026 Championship average converted again no?? Which is 3.69??

Someone had said some rider's are earning more in the Championship over Premiership. Wonder if he's one of them? Is it possible, with Ekstraliga 2, he's waiting on a spot to open up in the Elitserien rather than Premiership. He'll be 30 in 2 weeks, it's probably now or never to be the best he can.

This is how I have the side in 'Confirmed Signings', does it look right, especially Mitch McDiarmid? ________________ Northampton Foxes: 1. Tobiasz Musielak 8.08 2. Nick Morris 5.67 3. Jaimon Lidsey 6.34 4. Kye Thomson 6.13 5. Niels-Kristian Iversen 7.11 6. Mitch McDiarmid 3.69 7. Ace Pijper R/S (3.00) Team Manager: Chris Adams Ave: 36.97 (39.97) Remaining: 00.03

🤣🤣 it wasn't even remotely negative 🤣🤣 Even if a King's Lynn fan says they expect them to be bottom isn't always a negative. It's factually correct with hindsight and past data. Do you think King's Lynn has the finances to challenge??

Anyone got a list of all past 'Rising Stars' and where are they now?? Would be intriguing to see if the system has any meaning to the sport other than 'Money Saving'.

Fixed

What do you mean by proper emoji's, or do you mean GIFs??

Don't think that's quite right. Hasn't international representation always been based off of registered licence?? Pretty sure you can only race for GB on an ACU, Denmark with DMU etc.

Having seen a few club releases, a high number are heavily hinting at the need to 'cut the cloth'. It seems to be only Coleman that's given the 🖕🏻 and gone all out on the team. It could be a good thing from the rest of the league if they're looking more strength in depth. We know in this game injuries are almost a guarantee and the 6.00- rider's are easier to find. For King's Lynn, it really doesn't look good but we do have to wait and see on the other line-up's too. If other teams come to tapes with 2 genuine heatleaders then questions can be asked, if not, proper AFA track specialists can really work, but a good bit of dirt is needed. What King's Lynn CANNOT do is re-employ the likes of the Klindt's and Iversen's again. The management should hopefully be looking at 2027 as a new era for the club and stop signing old hat riders. I think we're all expecting 6th, so guess what?? "The only way is up." ☝🏻

I actually fear for Belle Vue. If the season starts badly for them they have so much more to lose than any other club. Can't be cheap with the stadium running costs and they have one of the biggest fan drop-offs of any club when results are bad. If any club in the Premiership is "a must" for a competitive team, it's Belle Vue.

Why not?? At the start of the season, Michael Lee would be just a 19 year old at No7. As the season progressed he'd still end up No1, British Champion and World Champion. Rising Stars are not locked in at No7 after the start of the season. With Rushen around 4.50, and Kim Nilsson is available on a similar average, some clubs would scrap Rushen for the "safer option". Then possibly move for a foreign U21 on a 3.00. It's also a reason why the Rising Star should have been U24 / 5.00. British Speedway has always done a terrific job in recent history of trying to hamper and burn British kids development. The last thing we need is clubs burning ex-Rising Stars / youngsters because they'd got a too high average. This current system could be way simpler by just saying every British rider U21 gets 25% until the season they turn 22 and / or the achieve an average of 6+.

Absolutely nobody else is disputing what the rules state but yourself. 010.2.3 - With the approval of the BSP LTD GC or Directors. That line alone is very very clear, reassessment isn't guaranteed and others promoters (and supporters) have a right to question any reassessment. Kim Nilsson should ABSOLUTELY NOT be allowed the 4.50 reassessment.

The same rulebook also stats; "010.2.1 - Any rider returning to British Speedway on an established MA, achieved prior to 2024 will establish an updated MA after completing 6 applicable meetings." "010.2.3 - With the approval of the BSP LTD GC or Directors." It's not guaranteed a reassessment will be issued or the assessment table being used.

Best examples on existing average was Nicki Pedersen 2011 8.61, returned in 2023 on that exact average. Jason Crump 2009 11.07, returned on 8.00 assessed in 2021, he was retired for 8 years. There's absolutely no reason what so ever, not to use Kim Nilsson's average from 2017 after previous examples.

I guess we've got to wait and see what other teams look like but it's sounding like more of the same from King's Lynn management in collecting the rest of the leagues dregs. It's like zero effort is made, no 'out of the box' thinking. Surely, surely not, King's Lynn just doing the same. King's Lynn & Northampton already booked for 5th & 6th is bad for the league.
