http://www.birmingham-speedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.3589 An increase of £1 which will more than likely be standard across the board at a minimum, but the season ticket prices frozen so that makes them even better value than this year. It’s 12 league meetings plus, the first knockout cup fixture. That’s a saving of £52 if you plan on attending every meeting. Two free meetings, and £4 off a 3rd meeting. Fair play that’s more than decent. I also like the extras they’ve added also, one VIP experience and two complimentary tickets to be passed on to “non speedway fans”. Not sure how they’ll police that, but it all adds up to a very good deal 👏🏻

Louis wanted him, 100%. Why wouldn’t he? They just couldn’t come to an agreement on terms it’s as simple as that. It happens all the time. Good luck to him at Birmingham, they’ve got themselves a terrific young rider with bags of potential.

No, because he’s still on the rising star list as he meets the qualifying criteria. Whether a club uses him in any position from 1-6 is irrelevant. You only get a 25% reduction when you first exit the rising star scheme due to no longer meeting the qualifying criteria. Dan Gilkes will get the standard 2.5% British reduction, not 25%.

STOP REPLYING TO HIM/HER/THEM/WHAT or whatever the woke political term is that this Labour government want all of us to adhere to FFS!

🤦🏼‍♂️

https://ipswichwitches.co/louis-update-on-2025/ Fair play to Louis, nice to see on the youngster development front. Also even MORE work to the track to try and improve the racing at Foxhall. He’s doing everything he possibly can within the restrictions he has to provide the best racing possible there. Proper Speedway man. Not many left these days unfortunately.

https://ipswichwitches.co/louis-update-on-2025/ Put this in here as well because I guess it affects Birmingham, and probably Lynn too as they were the clubs at the bottom this year. He obviously knows the Birmingham team and is expecting them to be much more competitive which is good to hear. Also talks about clubs building in different ways (Lynn?) so it’s giving optimism to fans of every club.

*sigh. I give up.

Absolute guff.

We’ll see. I bet he doesn’t.

I wouldn’t worry about this year where Musielak is concerned if I were you.

You could argue he is here, which is all that matters for Birmingham. Musielak’s last full season here in 2023 for Sheffield, average 9.35 with bonus across all meetings, Lindgren this year for Birmingham, 8.85.

He was never part of Ipswich’ plans for 25.

Bewley is staying at Belle Vue. Oxford still have a golden chance to be very competitive due to Janowski’s cheap looking average. Because of his early struggles, he’s now on a very attractive average judging by his end of season form. Have to make it count though which they haven’t done previously so can understand the concerns.

Very good.

Ah, so you’re talking about imaginary excuses for an imaginary absence that hasn’t yet happened? Ok..

Excuse? For what? Don’t really know what you’re talking about to be honest.

As I said, you really haven’t got a clue.

Why?

You’ve got to be on a wind up here surely? Literally everything you’ve just said is laughable. You haven’t got a clue.

Won’t bother him in the slightest. He had his reasons.

Excellent signing.

I think it’s both personally. Individuals are a bit different to team sports. Liverpool was always unpopular with just about everybody other than Liverpool supporters back in the day because they were so dominant. The same for Manchester United in the 90’s. Fans of other clubs will be jealous and want to see them knocked off their perch. The best victories in matches will nearly always be against those clubs at the time. Nothing wrong with that it’s human nature I suppose. Does happen with individuals as well though. Steve Davis was universally unpopular in the 80’s, but when Hendry came along and his success dried up, he suddenly became far more popular and supported and Hendry then became unpopular!

All one and the same really isn’t it? It’s all one entity surely.

Part of the dislike for Poole is that they’re very successful. Happens in any sport when a team is so successful and dominant, they become disliked by fans of other clubs. That can hardly be labelled at Ipswich! The club haven’t won a league title for many many years. It’s all a bit strange to be honest but hey ho.
