Daniel Smith

Barker could be a solid No2 tbf. His inclusion has also improved us home & away. The big calls are finding a genuine No1, and the strength of the 'Rising Star' is massive. Get these wrong again & it's bottom of the table again.

Lawson, Jorgensen & Kerr deserve to stay on. They've not been the problem.

Fully understand where you're coming from. Lambert has been good in Poland & also the few meetings he's had in Sweden. In Poland though, as the No8, Lambert has been given easier heats & ideal partners to try & get maximum points. The crunch will be when he's in the 1-5, will he cut it? With regards to Championship level he has been abysmal. Was so desperate for him to kick on this year but it just hasn't worked. He's just so far off the pace. I'll repeat what I said a few years ago, & I stand by it. Robert Lambert for me will just be another Chris Harris. Never has what it takes at World level. Simon Stead also has hinted at Dan Bewley being the likely partner to Woffinden at the SON.

Sheikh Mansour is selling up Manchester City to take over King's Lynn Speedway. You heard it here first

Ex rider with sticky fingers would know what to do.

His average might help keep him at King's Lynn I just feel Lawson after the season he's had would more than likely want to find a more competitive club. Lawson, Jorgensen & Kerr are the only 3 that justify a return, but you just know Dale will be back on the phone picking his mates again

Think Kerr has to stay. Solid middle order rider. Can't see Lawson being back, also burnt bridges with Cook. All depending on the world in 2022 I think we'll have an even worse side in 2022. Just picking at scraps while the other pick the best of the bunch.

In short: He's not good enough, Bewley's had a better season. Reading between the lines, Stead wants Woffinden & Bewley for the SON. I have to say sadly I'd agree, something's not quite right with Lambert

Is Stead still joint GB boss with Allen?? Quite daming with regards to Lambert.

I'd say Adam is now past young. Now in the mature, experienced stage of his career. This is an interesting one. There is no hard rule that no rider will become 'world class' into their 30's, just it becomes more unlikely. In the same way it's more likely, at peak fitness & maturity, between 25 & 30 tends to be their level Have to disagree. Between 15-22 these are the most important years to hone that potential. I'd agree it's an age of fine lines, between encouraging & killing someone's career. At this stage though the limits do need to be pushed. If thing's are just left to go by, come early to mid 20's, when the real world kicks in too, career's can be over as the work home life balance can become 1 & the same pressures. Some of us fans can be absolute vanker's to rider's but our opinion is less likely to be as damaging than those of Speedway's coaches, manager's & owner's. Like I said, there's no hard rule. There will be another Greg Hancock & another Michael Lee at some point

This 'superstar' you talk of probably haven't been on a bike yet. I can absolutely say with confidence, that rider will not come from this group of rider's being talked about. Some of our current youngsters are already 19-20 or close too & not cutting it as Premiership reserves, just managing 2 averages. We're absolutely levels below foreign U21's at thos moment. 100% we have no high quality potential coming through after Dan Bewley. Many are blinded by the lack of quality throughout in the British leagues.

Well I'll start nicely Hope everyone enjoys the meeting. Right, that's enough of that There still could be speedway at King's Lynn, Buster wants a buyer, not shut it down completely. He was very serious about what he said, so someone needs to find some money quick sharp.

Buster owns the stadium. Just wants to sell the Speedway promotion, would be similar to how TrackStar rent the stadium for Stocks

Isn't he racing with busted fingers??

Apart from Kerr, I'm pretty sure the other really don't give a poop to Buster's announcement

Stop comparing sports for a start.

I think what they mean is, if there has been rain & everyone is at the meeting, away teams more desperate for points, unlikely to win, may push harder to get matches off. Thus, the away promoter doesn't have to pay points money, only costs & gain a point etc etc. Speedway mustn't go down the road of awarding points for rain-off's, they'll be no meetings taking place at all.

All about opinion but he's the best of the crop right now for me. The only one to refuse a 'Rising Star' spot prefering to go into the main team. Achieving nearly a 5.50 ave in a crap Ipswich side. I appreciate his attitude to try a tougher route than take the easy option.

I'm glad @phillwhitewasmad & @GWC find it funny our youngsters don't have a future at the top of the sport. Let's just enjoy our kids rattle around UK Speedway, sod trying to be the best you can be

May be the referee had somewhere else to be & needed to leave by 9.30

100% agree. Just Speedway on the Isle is very expensive. To be a regular from England you need some serious money, the promotion should be interacting with it's punters. 100% the promoter's in the rest of the UK don't know their market. No advertising, promoting etc anywhere & then dish out the "use it or lose it" nonsense when nobody turns up. IOW do a great job, no doubt, but they do have a huge advantage over other tracks.

You need to point the finger at the BSPA. They've created the problems. It would be absolutely crazy of our youngsters not to give Poland a go. It will leave us way behind if we don't join in & push themselves against the best of their age group regularly. Maybe British Speedway should market itself as the Golden Oldies League. Over 35's only

Firstly, it won't wipe out Speedway, didn’t happen when the UK was once the dominant force. It's the promoter's here that are doing their own unreversable damage. Our young rider's disappearing to Poland to try & make a name for themselves is exactly the point of a youth policy. We need superstars, bringing riders through to roll around in British Speedway does absolutely nothing for them. Saying all that, I don't think this program is aimed at young Brits. I'd imagine they'll pick out the better chances from Sweden, Denmark & Germany imo. These kids are better race ready at 15-16 than Brit's.

I do think they have a great market corner. Daytrippers & holiday makers don't have much to do on the island, speedway is a good distraction attraction. To get a good feel of how thing's work, we need to see another 1 or 2 club copy IOW's model over a season or 2. Somewhere like Berwick & Newcastle, financially struggling clubs would be an interesting ones. Absolute polar opposites to IOW. What works for IOW probably wouldn't work anywhere else.

Exactly this. We've had so many 'talented youngsters' over recent years but none have ever cut it. Lambert has only got to where he is because of his early start in Germany. Bewley has done well, mostly because he's beside Woffy. He'd of been binned of by Wroclaw had he not borrowed some of Woffy's equipment. Apart from these 2, whose done any good? The last 2 Brit's of any substance on the continent has been Nicholls & Richardson. I'm hoping Ellis can kick on next year but really needs to drop the Championship & push for Poland & Sweden full time being 25. We've got to be real. Our rider's have no big future as the sport in this country is on it's backside & there's no real climb for them. Doesn't matter how hard the likes of Vatcher works, our kids need to be away from uk racing to have a real career.
