  1. If you're a switched on rider you'd demand a significant signing on fee
  2. LRF is absolutely right though. It's very 🐍y to do a survival crowd fund. Imagine giving over £100s & they still fold halfway through the season. Will that £10k increase the supporters through the turnstiles? What about in 2026? Another crowd fund? At the end of the day, the Birmingham Promotion team (and the BSPL as a whole) have to do better. Doing a Crowd Fund is cruel to the desperate Speedway loving fan. Certainly won't be the well off handing over their 💰💰
  3. Word on the street is Kvech is doing Poland & Sweden in 2025. After getting the GP call up he found the UK a slog this early in his career.
  4. We have to wait on rider's not signing or being signed in Poland & Sweden.
  5. 1. B.Zmarzlik (Guest) 2. N.I.Iversen 3. J.Kvech 4. N.Klindt 5. R.Lambert (R/R) 6. L.Kerr
  6. Doyle didn't quality & you can't guarantee Doyle would have been top 6, you are surmising. The reasoning of those that pick Doyle as Wildcard is no greater than the first reserve. The whole Wildcard thing drives me bonkers. What is the point of it if 7th & 8th are automatic picks &/or injured riders. Just make it top 10 & the rest from the Challenge.
  7. On 2 fronts for me:- 1, age. Although that's harsh, I just don't think 35+ should be getting Wildcards. There absolutely has to be an age cut off. Top 6 & GP Challenge should be the only route for the old guys. 2, Doyle's pretty much guaranteed to have a massive accident which then becomes a wasted space given in the series. Doesn't allow the 1st reserve the chance to automatically qualify whom may deserve the spot anyway.
  8. Think it's clear who the bottom 2 are next season. Birmingham saying they're skint & King's Lynn not looking for a big hitter, maybe they should just look forward to 2026 already.
  9. If they need the hoo-ha finale, why not just have it as a one off Grand Final with 1st vs 2nd at a neutral stadium?? 3rd vs 4th home & away for something like the Craven Shield?? 5th - 7th have a creative 3 team tournament, once at each track??
  10. I'm struggling with what King's Lynn fans want. Do they want a competitive top 4 challenge or just a decent team to watch at home?? If it's the former, it would be absurd to think about Lawson as a No1. You have to have a more ambitious demand from management, Lawson is nothing more than a 3rd heatleader. You cannot make top 4 without a genuine No1, strength in depth doesn't work
  11. 1. Sam Masters 7.32 2. Kyle Howarth 5.05 3. Nicolai Klindt 6.59 4. Danny King 6.14 5. Niels Kristian Iversen 6.83 6. Lewis Kerr 4.77
  12. Pencil in Danny King & Kyle Howarth at King's Lynn as it seems no other club wants them 😂
  13. We didn't win because of "Strength in Depth". Many wins were because of excellent guest choices. we were rock bottom with our original team.
  14. Men just don't like women being involved in "their sport". It's as simple as that. No matter which way you look at it, it's sexism. Of course, there are bad female pundits but there's so absolute 🤡 male pundits too that have even 'Played the Game'. It's across ever male dominated sport
  15. When a team manager says they're going strength in depth, already they've set themselves up for a wooden spoon battle again. It give none of the fans any excitement to get their teeth in to. Another year of dreams being dashed. Another year of a dead septet. Another year of not being a$$ed to put up a challenge. Another year of taking ££s from gullible. Where is the ambition at King's Lynn??
  16. It's just an idea, how bad of me 😂 Looks like everyone would fit in well with the BSPL model of Speedway 😬 For me, the SGP desperately needs a freshening up
  17. It's turning in to a benevolent society when grandad rider's with no chance of title challenges keep getting wildcard picks. Why not give youth an opportunity to build up their standards rather than constantly declining the standard. There has to be a way of bringing youth through & the GP Challenge is flawed in that the qualification standard & tracks used are poor. I absolutely believe the best rider's should be in the SGP, absolutely, but rider's like Woffinden, Madsen & Doyle need leaving out to further develop the series & find challengers to Zmarzlik.
  18. Don't want to see Madsen anywhere near the series in 25, he's done at this level now. I'd prefer youth brought in. I'd like to see a mix up next year, bring in some kids. SGP Top 6 Challenge top 4 SGP2 Top 3 Wildcards 2
  19. Let's be fair here, it's not at all Abi's fault. She's just doing her job. The nonsense chat is usually requested from directors through an earpiece. Man or women, it's irrelevant. Even Tatum & Louis (whomever is partnered with Kelv) chat absolute s#!+e most weeks. The discovery team as a whole has no idea what the watching viewers want to hear or see. Camera work, commentators, trackside presenters, the lot is absolutely dreadful. Terrible to just out the Lass, just doing as she's told.
  20. It is nice to see the TruPlant clubs flop, ❤️❤️ it
  21. That's only cheating if the wife finds out though 😬
  22. That's my question, outside of those very very easy jobs what do they do? What do they do that warrant such high stature?
