Tru 7 group Guy Nicholls companies not only sponsors Ipswich, but Sheffield as well, which make his contribution to British speedway even more impressive. I would imagine that Ipswich are the main benefactors as the company is based in Ipswich. Both clubs over the last 3 or 4 seasons have built good teams so he must be ploughing in decent money to both clubs.

Like others have said salary cap would not work in speedway. It is simple reason, speedway riders are paid on performance, to go to a salary cap riders would need to paid a wage per meeting.

Kings Lynn will provide stronger opposition than Birmingham, so expecting a closer match than last week. One the subject of Tai's replacement, we have a 28 day facility for Tai, so I think that the club will use that facility to the 28 day duration , be that Rider Replacement or a Guest Rider depending upon who is available. Knowing what the Promotion are like I think that they will be looking for a replacement or replacements if they think that a double replacements is required. For the meeting I think that we can definitely beat the Stars, but like I say its will be a closer than last week.

That performance tonight was for Tai. I said earlier in the thread we were never going to get beaten tonight. Okay reality check Birmingham are by far not the strongest team in the league, but they did try but Sheffield stepped it up a level and everyone of the 6 riders deserves credit and all played their part in the win. Anders Rowe and Leon Flint deserve special mentions. I don't think I have ever seen a better performance from home debut from Anders, and I think that this season he will reach heatleader standard for Poole. And Leon awesome performance but for an engine failure it would have been 13 from 5 rides tonight, and with Leon on this sort of form along with Kyle Howarth, Chris Harris and Dan Thompson in good form Glasgow have a power packed top 4 that should do well in the championship.

Fair enough everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think that you are wrong. But like I say everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Make you mind up.

Like everyone has said horrible crash, and every update sounding like the injuries are getting worse. Hopefully he can recover soon for him and his families sake. All the best Tai and get well soon.

You have to impressed with the Ipswich team at the start of the season. Over the two legs all the riders are getting a decent points return. Belle Vue must be slightly worried and you have to question are they good enough when Bewley and Kurtz have an off night, the rest of the team look very flaky.

The new Sheffield captain. No surprises for me Picko the man.

Have to agree regarding Jason. The rotator cuff injury is a serious injury, and in Jason's case it is the 2nd time he has suffered this injury. Ad the fact that he is now 39 makes his return back riding so well is even more impressive.

Very interesting comments on Adam Ellis and MJJ. Here is what I know. On Adam Ellis. Adam was at the Birmingham Press and Practise Day, but only for the press photo's as he was due to attend the Sheffield Press and Practice later that day. Was in common knowledge that Adam had signed a short term agreement? Well it would suggest not looking at the Birmingham Fans Forum. Under the section Rumour Mill and the title of the Adam Ellis. Fans ask the question is Adam on a short term agreement, as they have read on the BSF that he was. Of course history shows that Adam was on a short term contract, but nobody put those who were asking the question either fans that claimed to be in know or the Promotion. And if my memory is correct, Adam when the contract was up cop flack from Birmingham fans who accused him of walking out of the club. Again if my memory is correct this was only settled when Adam posted on his Facebook page that he had only signed a short term agreement and had honoured that contract the one person who could shed some light on this is Jonny Spud who I believe is Adam Dad, and occasionally posts on here. On MJJ Simply this someone has picked up an article from his Polish club that MJJ will only riding on a short term agreement until the Polish season kicks in. This is why a number of Birmingham fans are wanting to find out what is factually correct about MJJ. And it is the past history with Adam, that has lead to these questions been asked.

Surprise no one has mentioned Kelly Moran.

Yes there is;

It is difficult to predict where teams will finished when you don't know all of the teams full line ups. So going on the rumoured line ups and those that have fully announced. Top 4 (In no particular order) Belle Vue Ipswich Kings Lynn Sheffield 5th and 6th (in no particular order) Leicester Birmingham Wood Spoon Oxford

I think it is a wind up. I think the last rider will be Dan Gilkes and I think they are keeping people guessing.
