Good signing for the Bandits, PK is a strong rider and a good No1 .

Would have Antti back no problem. Had 2 years experience now on away tracks, hopefully attack them with more confidence if he is back for a 3rd season.

Really cold afternoon outside the shelter of the arcade. Like you say big thumbs up to all on the stall 🥶👍

Haha

I think the Pirates are to be commended on refusing to bow to increased rider demands above what was agreed in the original 2 year contract.

Agree Bowes has potential. He had 3 very good meetings for Worky at home against Scunny and Glasgow and away at Poole the latter after which he was probably tapped up for 2026. He failed to back those performances up in subsequent meetings. He missed a few meetings for Worky and never rode at Plymouth or Oxford. He found Armadale extremely challenging scoring 2 points from 8 rides over 2 meetings but he wasn't alone among Worky riders who struggled there. If he gates at Poole he will score okay but if he doesn't I believe he may struggle. He followed up his 13 for Worky with 2 guesting for. Glasgow. He won't have the same pressures on him next season bearing in mind he probably won't be riding in Poland where he never pulled up any trees in the U24's or for Tarnow. I wish him well but you are welcome to him the way he treat Workington.

I think so, but I don't make the rules unfortunately.

Didn't Cooper Rushen sign when he was 15 ?

Because maybe he had already been tapped up before that point .

Seems to me that now more than ever, is the time that riders who have been supported by British Speedway over the last 20 years should seriously consider giving something back in whatever way they can.

Could yet win by default

Believe Jonas is a good solid signing at No1 for the Comets. Would make a good partnership with Batch at 5 .

Wow

Trouble seems to be that the East of England Agricultural Society whom I believe own some or all of the land do not seem to want speedway as part of the leisure plans they have for the Showground .

You are absolutely right it is a disgrace. It looks awfully like being asleep at the wheel. Treating the fans like mushrooms without even feeding them s**t is worse. Carl Johnson on Speedway 360 stated that Peterborough have been approached by the BSPL about coming back next season. He did state that they are not in a position both track wise and financially to do this but still didn't rule it out completely. Hadn't time to watch the full podcast so don't know how the discussion finished. The planning permission for developing the Showground got turned down, it would be great to see the club return but just how feasible is this ?.
