I can't imagine anyone being happy with a five team league.

Is it still possible to buy Sky Sports on a day to day basis through Now TV?

Stop rabbiting on 🐇

You clearly know nothing about Luke Harrsion. Your initial point was that Glasgow wouldn't take the risk on him because he is a similar age to Boughen but that's a daft reason to not sign him. Sounds like Glasgow have anyway and I think he'll do really well, he's an extremely talented young rider and most importantly a racer so Ashfleid will suit him perfectly.

18 and a completely different type of rider & character.

You could well be right. Has he packed in?

If I've calculated correctly SW would be on 6.64 next season, if he's fully committed I'd say thats a pretty attractive figure for somebody as a third heatleader or second string.

If its true that Fricke is going elsewhere then you'd imagine there is more in the kitty to offer Thompson than there would have been otherwise.

I suspect Lawson, Kerr, Rowe, Cairns & Rushen are locked in and they wanted Bowes & Bailey to join them but one of them have foreign commitments which means it cant happen. Not sure which, probably Bailey with his Wednesday stuff in Denmark.

Pollestad - top talent.

Where has this been reported please Iain?

Speedway Updates is dying a slow death unfortunately and for the first time that I can remember they weren't able to cover every meeting last year due to a lack of volunteers. I feel something more modern is needed for speedway fans, an app along similar lines to the Polish one would be ideal.

Like that team a lot. Really needs Edwards or Jenkins to break through though and take their careers to the next level with no King.

I'll be absolutely gobsmacked if its not 36 for the top five. We shall see.

And of course Mulford, apologies to him for my forgetfulness.

A few weeks ago he posted on his Facebook page that he was looking for a Premiership team spot for 2026. Assuming that means that Lynn have told him that he isn't part of their plans then I think that must mean they are targeting a genuine number one as I can't think of any other reason why he wouldn't be coming back as he was excellent last season. I suspect he is a victim of the numbers game.

Main U24s would presumably be Flint, Rowe, Thompson, Edwards, Kemp and Gilkes.

Fricke Kvech Harris Klindt Cook Scott Rushen

Looking at the British U19 from this year and excluding Foord who I think will be too old the top six were Harrison, Scott, Rushen, Cairns, Pjiper and Loftus. Assuming of course they are young enough at whatever the cut off point is.

Got to be 36 for the top five surely

If Worky was his home track he'd be a completely different rider to last year IMO.

He was quite clearly dropping his average last season.....will be interesting to see where he ends up

You keep saying this but it's simply not true, he's said himself he enjoys the track and it's always different when you are riding a circuit regularly as a home rider rather than an occasional visitor.

I don't think it really matters anyway as long as you've got the correct blend of riders.

Not really sure why, that'd be as good a heat leader trio as anyone due to the 8 pointer rule and two amazing prospects at reserve, get the second strings right and it'd be the team to beat once again.
