  1. The league win was won only because riders were taken out, Poole had "lost" it with the first leg fact. Now for the KO Cup Oxford riders are still ruled out thanks to Vinnie Foord & the pirates number "8" - a complete injustace! Can the SCB insure that referees have regular visits to Specsavers PLEASE.
  2. I hope that the promoters see sence & vote for 2x home & 2x away for a worthwhile league fixture list for 2025. By that I mean worthwhile for both the riders & fans & even the stadium owners Can we also have someone different doing the fixture list PLEASE.. PREMIER LEAGUE. Why don't we run the U.K. Premeir league on Wednesdays & Thursday? You then only have to fly all the superstars in & out once saving a fortune!
  3. Okay Kyle then, nice guy with 100% effort every lap - just needs some fitness guildance & I could see a 7.50 average.
  4. Team averages for 2025 - to keep strengths as they are then the team average has to be 45. Plymouth 2025 the Thompson twins are a must have, then Ben Barker on his average is also a must for the Gladiators. It's been said elsewere but Ben could do with looseing a stone in weight and while on the subject Karl Newman could do with looseing 2 plus stone! Nothing personnel to either, but as professional riders they would both increase their earnings. Good luck to Mark, Gary & the Gladiators in 2025.
  5. I think that there may be a football thing going on that will effect a lot of meetings?
  6. I've been involved with speedway for 58 years but saturday was my first visit to the "new" Belle Vue, I was impressed with everything the Stadium, track & the racing! I think it's fair to say the best rider on the night won so congratulations Dan. Belle Vue is the best track in the country (thanks to Chris Morton) & is the perfect track for the British Final. Have people forgotten the carnage when the Finals were run @ Wolverhampton! One thing all british tracks lack is decent shale, I'm told the quarry/s that supplied it either no longer opperate or won't supply it to speedway tracks.
  7. Agee with you 100% the referee @ Plymouth requires some training in how to deal with these situations. The meeting should have started @ 7 p.m. track was perfectly raceable.
  8. So you would be up for a match race with Miss Liebmann then?
  9. I'll repost this: The current rider shortage of UK riders is down to one thing Grasstrack both adult & schoolboy it has become almost none exististent in the UK & that is where 80% of all British riders came from. The BSPL should work with the ACU to encourage a revival of ACU clubs to run Grasstrack meetings.
  10. Moto X that's a Grasstrack with a few hills!

  12. In the UK we nowadays we have to blame somebody for every scenario. In this case it's the lack of a quality rider to complete Plymouth's team, the blame must surely lie with the person or persons that have set the 2024 points limit. Have we still got any pay-caps in place as that's also something people/teams seem to ignore!
  13. I'm sure the way the Bonaza works is that the riders volenteer their services for free or expenses only. The sole aim of the BEN fund is to support injured riders both short & long term however best they can. The main fund raiser is the now anual Bonaza. Good luck to the riders, Paul Ackroyd & his team for a successful 2024 event.
  14. Are there any sub 8 point Premiership riders not riding in the Championship? Names on a postcard please.
