Confirmed team Ben trigger joe Thompson chad wirtzfield Kai Ward charlie southwick Morgan williams ryan Ingram no idea if this is a sold team but can’t see the top two losing many.

What is the National league team ? Started a thread on the NL pages but very quiet.

Great to mark and the volunteer team widening the back straight track between bends 2 and 3. also agreed a 5 year lease with the land owners so really good news for Plymouth speedway. no matter what anyone says mark deserves huge credit for keeping Plymouth speedway alive and improving on the track. Along with I believe a new 500 club package for hospitality members on bend one.

Great to have a team in the NDL and double up in the leagues. Would love to try and build a team but honestly no idea. I assume trigger is an obvious one.

Current team id have something looking like is this. its a shame as Nico and D Thompson would have fit. really is a limited number of heat leaders avalible. With this in mind does anyone know the following ….. 1) what’s the conversion rate in from prem to champ ? 2) if someone for example has a 2022 champ average but has a 2024 prem average which takes the lead to build from ? 1- 2- Gilkes - 5.07 3- B Barker 5.83 4- J Thompson 5.62 5- 6- Bowtell - 5.07 7- Trigger - 3.00 Total remaining - 15.41

I have a feeling there could be a shock rider riding for Plymouth this year at 1 👀

Thing is Plymouth have never had an issue getting a number one in initially. It’s getting a replacement in that’s tough.

Barker on a sub 6 should make Plymouth very difficult to beat at home next season especially if the limit is 40.

The reality and the shame of this forum is sooner or later clubs will close down and so will speedway. The sooner people on this forum realise that they could build the sport up (admittedly only a tiny bit) but every little helps.

Bowtell R/R Simon Lambert for Nico jason Edwards for Barker

Correct

Alfie bowtell 2nd for Plymouth

?!?

Barker confirmed at Plymouth

Morley - In Starke - Out

Even though no meeting for the gladiators for two weeks could be interesting to see what hapens. we could decide to leave the team as it is give a final warning to a few riders and say they have a few meetings to sort it out. we could make some changes, interestingly roynon is being talked about being dropped by poole could look at bringing batch and another 2 pointer ( hagon or Killeen) and run with 2 2 pointers instead of turned but have batch instead of starke. Other than that I’m not sure who is out there, rew ? Hans Anderson ? Any other riders about there potentially available

To be fair starke came off last night and was holding his back every time he got off the bike after.

Yes we lost to Birmingham at home but no I’m not panicking yet. No need to over react. I didn't see people over reacting when we beat poole and Scunthorpe at home. do I think 2 changes unless they pull there finger out are necessary probably. could I tell you two riders to fill the void probably not so it’s a case of seeing what Gary and mark can do. no point changing for the sake of changing riders. we get the changes correct and have a good rest of season before you know it we will be in the play offs.

How can you say Ben Barker is protected ? If his scores were poor could understand but I’d argue he’s been our best rider so far this season and wouldn’t be suprised if he gets to number one at some point. Ben Trigger is a 2 point rider and the most logical one. Gary may always seems to build a team with a 2 pointer in the team. They are not expected to score any points. The issue we have is not that trigger scores 1 point it’s the fact we carry two riders with a combined average of nearly 10. worrall, howarth, Barker and gilkes all pulling there weight. Trigger is doing as and what is expected. Turner and Starke are not living up to what they can and that’s the issue. There’s no need to panic only 2 league matches in, very easy to be reactive If starke and Turner are replaced it would leave 9.32 and the issue potentially is that there are no riders that fit this points. Gary and mark know what’s what and what is needed. On top of the above speedway is not won or lost in the first few weeks.

This is on Wednesday. Im travelling up from Plymouth so hopefully it goes ahead ! could be an interesting meeting and maybe the reserves that score the most win.

Taken from the Plymouth forum….. PLYMOUTH GLADIATORS :- Team Manager Garry May. Ben Barker, Dan Gilkes, Jake Turner and Kyle Howarth. CRADLEY HEATHENS :- Team Manager Will Pottinger. Paul Starke, Alfie Bowtell, Adam Roynon and Luke Killeen. SOMERSET REBELS :- Team Manager Ray Kear. Charles Wright, James Wright, Lee Complin and Matt Bates. POOLE PIRATES :- Team Manager Neil Vatcher. Richie Worrell, Danyon Hume, Kyle Newman and Ben Trigger. be nice to get the team on track in a fixture that’s not relevant for result but gives them good lap time around the place.

Great news have you got a link ?

In that case Thomas for the 4 point Aussie

As apposed to searching through 10s of pages of some of which are rubbish. what is the predicted poole line up ? 1- worrall 2- 4 point Aussie 3- cook 4- cook 5- lawson 6 - roynon 7- Newman ?
