Error by me.

All this missing meetings here to be in Poland stuff has to stop next year, as I've said several times before the BSPL need to grow a set and veto signings where riders are going to be absent regularly, and in the case of FIM meetings organise the fixtures much, much better.

With Woryna there is definitely a middle ground, none of us like gaters and and he's worth ten Kuberas for example who bores me to tears, but at times he's reckless and dangerous and I dont want to be watching him wondering who he is going to have off next. He has a responsibility to the other riders to be safe and a little less unhinged. That said he rides lines that others dont and is a great watch when he's not out of control.

It's hilarious how its always 'we were massively weakened' when the guests don't work out yet when ringers score big points its never 'we were massively strengthened'.

Agree and while its absolutely not an excuse this is one of the issues of outsourcing media duties.

Thats interesting as all the young riders who have ridden for both Lynn teams over the past couple of seasons aren't like that at all, they work hard to succeed at speedway and some have 'normal' jobs too. They are approachable and make an effort with their fans both at the track and on social media, and are grateful for the opportunities they have while knowing they have plenty to learn and being humble.

I don't think a little bit of fan interaction and some effort on P&P day and parade trucks etc is too much to ask but he never seems prepared to do that. Who are you referring to as prima donnas?

I suspect they mean not a guest from another team in your league/ cup ie somebody from a lower league. R/R should be mandatory for anybody in the top 5 who isn't your number one IMO.

Finally got round to listening to Mr Coleman on Chat SGP today, very impressive guy judging by that and not frightened to say it how it is about British speedway. Hopefully he keeps ruffling feathers and gets his ideas across.

None on the new forum so far!

Hes a class act.

Good to see that he recovered quickly to race in Poland today 👍 💰

Absolutely, anybody who doesn't get in next year but didn't try to qualify cannot complain I'm afraid.

Lets have it right, Woryna is a dirty b'stard.

Easy tiger, he scored 15 for Redcar and qualified for the British Final last week!

I'd be clearing everyone out apart from Wright, Scott and maybe Pjiper for 2027. Team needs a bit of freshness about it.

Lord only knows what on earth you are running on about. Reading between the lines he had it booked before signing for BV as he had a free week, and signed for Lemo 'as long as yous let me go for my week in the sun, mate'. Just a pity we all get fibbed to about a 'knee injury'.

Going by social media it would appear Doyle was on holiday and not injured at all.

Jody Scott is in so somebody has withdrawn.

I personally don't think that any rider who is going to be absent for a certain percentage of meetings in a season should be permitted to ride in a league whoever they are. Injury can't be helped but one of the things which gets up people's noses more than anything IMO is facilities for riders who are raving elsewhere and not for the team they signed for.

Not in the Champ perhaps but he's been at the level you'd expect in the Prem.

I think its more likely to be the other way round. Cooper has done well so far at 4, don't think it makes a huge amount of difference anyway personally. Harris at 5 concerns me a bit, if its mega slick as it usually is when Lynn visit he'll struggle. As always we have to make good starts, don't and we'll get marmalised.
