spin king junior

Looks the weakest of the sides assembled so far. Banking on either Sedgmen or Allen to really hit the ground running. Either should be fine as a 6, but have my doubts when they'll be needed in the main body.

Not an overly impressive team. Think it's one that'll get absolutely found out away from home and could really struggle in the reserve department. I know there was talk of Schlein coming out of his retirement, but I didn't think they were being serious! Hopefully he can carry on as he did for Poole.

I mentioned In the sheffield thread as I believed the criteria is- 1. Be under 25 or have less than 3 years experience in the top league And 2. Have a Premiership average under 5.5 or championship average under 6.5 So rightfully Flint is in

Like when Cooper beat Greg Hancock in an outing just before signing for sheffield, if my memory serves me right! Looks to be a very good and capable rider, and with this being said I'm not knocking the lad at all bit he did finish on a 7 point average. Which in all honest is a great feat in his first season, but arguably there's riders in the national league that averaged better than Ace but couldn't cut the mustard in the championship. I just really hope the lad doesn't feel the pressure and can focus on developing and improving, but I do think when you're riding for a club like Glasgow that are really focused on winning the league that can be quite difficult.

That is Olly Alexander and the show is Ru Paul's drag race. I'd say it's just a random top given by a stylist. Funnily enough it's just a stretched out photo of Martin Goodwin from an old speedway star

Would be a bit left field but impressed enough before his injury. Would rather give Gilkes a go than Bailey or Kemp.

I'll stand to be corrected but I thought the rules were 1. Be under 25 or have less than 3 years experience in the top league And 2. Have a Premiership average under 5.5 or championship average under 6.5

I wouldn't think so now as he's 26. But surely Ipswich will go with Anders Rowe?

I think we can guess the top 5 pretty easily. But the last 2 are where its gonna be interesting. Seems a lot of talk that Kerr won't be back, Mountain seems nailed on for leciester and I'd be surprised if we brought back Sedgmen really. Berge would be the dream get. Excellent round Owlerton and garnered plenty of experience in Poland now, he should make a mockery of his average. The other option would be one of the Cook brothers at Poole. But realistically could either hold their own as a number 6 in the top league? Another could be looking at someone like Knudsen at Berwick. Impressed in his short stint and looks to be one of the better Danes but he does have a lot of other commitments on the continent. Then it's now the spanner of the rising star. Mountain won't be eligible and Dan Thompson will be back at Leicester I'd imagine so we'll be looking at someone new. For me out of the list, Flint would be the stand out and could see him absolutely thriving round Owlerton but I cant see Wolves letting him go. Its a question of looking at what's left, Rowe will be at Ipswich, Jenkins will be at Peterborough, Gilkes or Bailey to Belle Vue. The best of the rest with reluctancy, would be Kemp. Feel as a rider he just isn't suited to our track and backs out of battles. But beggars can't be chooser

That'd be a brilliant side with the limit in play. Can see loads of improvement.

average will Jorgensen come on? Very surprised Berwick have retained Knudsen, should prove a great signing for next season if the rumours are true of a lowered average limit

.

You've got a short memory old man and are a fool if you don't want Howarth back on that average for next season.

Thank it'd be a massive mistake for Berwick to run with Ace. Unless the points limit gets dramatically reduced. Being realistic, Berwick won't be running with a top heavy side and if thongs stay the way they are then it runs the risk of Berwick going under the limit once again.

Ah fair does. It was a small minority of people just disappointing none the less. As for positive though, it was genuinely the best meeting I've seen all season. Got taken by a neutral so they appreciated a lot more than I did as my views were tampered by the result! Must say it was excellent at Belle Vue. The overall presentation was great, there was no hanging about and waiting, the racing was top notch and was just impressive to see the level of standard of a self sufficient track can be. It's the height of what every club should aim for even if its most likely unobtainable for most.

Doesn't justify what happened though does it? You can say it might happen everywhere but today it's happened at your track.

The small contingent of Belle Vues who cheered when Ellis came down should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Scum.

There'll be about 5 clubs in the entire sport if you're trying to imply owlerton isn't fit for purpose anymore...

Hope Ellis is back soon. Will be interesting to see whether we go for a guest till he's back or look for a replacement

I wasn't watching so dont know the context, but could he be talking about Aarnio getting dropped for Wright?

April 2019 against Newcastle was last time berwick won away from home.

Sad and completely feel for the Newcastle fans and the riders who now find themselves without a club. But its once again an amateur running a club and doing more damage to the sport and its reputation. Appreciate that beggars can't be choosers, but surely comes the time where there's some form of of test to determine whether these so called promoters are financially viable and have the know-how of running a speedway team?

Can't get behind that decision. Allen was awful when he showed up for Belle Vue and got soundly beat by Nielsen. Hope that I get proved wrong but I feel like it's a change just for the sake of it.

There's certainly some interesting speedway t-shirts on there. Think it'd take someone pretty out there to walk around in a Kenny Carter t shirt... S7d7641cde9f44acc9abb4dd7b903c7abH.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg_.webp
