Does anyone trust the BBC anymore? It is their post that quotes 'within two weeks' even though if you read the statement made by Chris it's says 'within the coming weeks' A small yet significant difference I do agree however we must now be close to either a full statement or at very least an update as to why there is a delay

Im still in the Cradley are the best camp but Is that Cradley with bonus points and Ipswich without ? The other big factor of course is the points limit at the season start Much higher in the 80's. Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to remember the limit being at 50 or even 52 including bonus which would equate to approx 45/47 without

I'd actually expect that the majority of Championship clubs are/were against one league

More than a few British youngsters will be disappointed they didn't receive similar patience......(anywhere - not a dig at Belle Vue specifically)

Whatever your view on him he certainly had Speedway in his blood and did much good at a number of clubs Thoughts and best wishes to his family and friends

OUCH would be creaming his pants at the chance to spout his drivel about the virtuous benevolence of Belle Vue if this were to happen

But would they be wanted/accepted there?

Even I've done it

There you go - answered your own question

Well if you read the thread you would know!

The best ever IMO - and that's from a Witches fan that would love to say the 1998 was the best

Would've been in the RS position with protected heats rather than the No6 so it will be more difficult for him Personally I think he will do well enough particularly if he can get early confidence from some decent home form That's certainly an area that is in his favour with the choice he has made

The Championship clubs didn't want it either though!

If its a flashing light it still works half of the time

And people wonder why so many riders have called it quits over the last few years....

Rather ironic really that when one big league is discussed and the loss of the star rider is lamented by some it is defended by others stating "you still get great races with the likes of Simon Lambert" "great team man" "we could do with more like Simon Lambert" "we need to develop and look after our own" yet even the team that is signing the one we have don't seem greatly enthusiastic about it!! Surely every team should be fighting over him.......

Could be a signing of biblical proportions then

Now that would be interesting if he was to throw his hat in the ring with NORA and challenge the status quo

Could depend on sponsors and which of them you would prefer to have

Are bears constipated whilst standing in the woods? Is the Pope Muslim?

I think its most years that you don't notice whether they have turned up or not

Traditional timescale is late Jan early Feb isn't it?

You can count the number of riders that have been good enough to be truly competitive at the top level from entry on your fingers so that argument is a little flawed Once they are of the required standard if they had to pick one over the other the choice would be near unanimous for the higher level

I expect that Adams presence will be significant in the Ipswich pits in 2026

Quite ironic given that he has probably been one of the biggest beneficiaries of 'how the sport has been allowed to drift'
