Does anyone know what the Coventry team was meant to be?

Yeah I totally get that, he's been and still is a great servant to British speedway and when he's on it is definitely one of the most entertaining riders in this country. Now this is going back to his gp days it's just frustrating when he's being interviewed on tv and still says he's searching for the right set up etc if he hasn't learnt it in 20+ years hes's never going too.

For the years of racing experience Harris has, the amount of mechanical failures he has is ridiculous! You barely see him go through a meeting without breaking down once.

What is there to say though? Could be in a worse situation like BV or Birmingham.

Steve Johnston to do a Crump and return for 22

Both a 4

Sorted thanks.

If you could potentially get someone like Vissing at number 1 then the side doesn't look too bad, but speaking from a Diamonds perspective we had it last season we didn't have a proper number 1 and if you start the season with Auty at 1 it will be a long season... regardless though good to see Birmingham coming to the tapes.

I think Allen will have a good year next season he wasn't properly prepared because he came over last minute so I think with a proper winter behind him he will be in for a good year next season.

All team and rider averages updated I think correctly haha, although if I've made any mistakes apologies and feel free to point them out thanks.

Thank you!

So with what you've posted there does that mean Newcastle will be running for the next few seasons then? Because obviously Rob Grant said numerous times last season how much money he was losing and couldn't continue to do so, so to go to the trouble of forking out for sponsors licence must mean he has the future in mind?

Really pleased for Archie and this move will do him no harm at all! Has been brought up riding Brough Park so riding a totally different track will be great for him. Had a few meetings in the Championship last season although he didn't score much he was getting better meeting by meeting. Looks a team full of potential and one that stands out for me is JPB when you think of where he was a few years ago with Birmingham if he can get back to that then he could add a couple of points on to his average. But he just reminds me so much of Lewis Bridger, if he's fully committed will certainly be an asset.

Really liked Kyle from when he rode for Newcastle, 100% trier, shame he's probably not kicked on as much as I thought he would but in fairness he has had some pretty bad injuries.

I think your being slightly unfair on Kemp, yes he might not have kicked on as much as people thought he would but he's only what 18/19? Give him another couple of seasons if he's still floating around on a 3+ average then I think you'll have more of an argument.

Maybe the delay in announcing the last rider is because we're still waiting to see if George is indeed a 4.00 or a 2.00?

Thank you, probably the wrong person to have started this thread because I'm awful with percentages haha.

Yeah I knew that, just surprised Belle Vue aren't using him considering they signed him pre covid and are apparently loosing the Worralls & Bewley for next season.

Why isn't Kildemand in the frame considering he was due to ride for Belle Vue before covid struck?

Can a mod please pin this? Also why are there adverts appearing on this website now?

Can a mod pin this please....

I've no idea what the sort of teams are like in Sweden so can't really comment. But like most things I guess it probably comes down to whether it's worth it.

It's a difficult one imo they do make quite a lot of mistakes especially during the races they regularly get the riders wrong and neither corrects the others when this happens. But at the same time Pearson is always plugging speedway in this country especially the lower leagues.

That's very true, a lot of the promoters are very hush hush in releasing news yet come the start of the season expect fans to pay weekly. Like you say this is silly season when you can dream of riders who fit remaining points you have left etc but as always the people who matter us are always kept in the dark.

Haha no I haven't I take it he's been poor then? In fairness he is a very frustrating rider brilliant to watch at brough at times but also the complete opposite and pathetic some of his away performances.
