I can't see Zagar coming in, Chris doesn't have a bottomless pit I think if Riss comes back and they get Rowe at R/S then that may well see a big upturn Riss riding at no.4 at home and Rew riding at no.4 away

Both Zagar and Dudek have dropped their demands but its no guarantee either will rock up at PBoro

Yep I'd take Riss back fit and have Rowe as RS think that side will be capable when it counts

I'm surprised that CL didn't know half the riders, that's a worry in itself, if CL doesn't know half the riders, then RH is going to know even less than half of that half lol Anders Rowe is what the Witches need at 7 I think with the likes of Doyle, Emil in the side it will bring him on leaps and bounds and IF he gets anywhere near showing his TRUPotential then he has shown in the past he can score points in the main body, so having him at 7 would be the best option but that's only in my opinion I'd change the RS first, have a meeting or two then if things are still iffy and Riss is nowhere near back within the 28 day period that Barker has come in to cover, I would have to take a look at a permanent signing, I think I am right but maybe wrong if that change had to happen now and Witches had to redeclare and be under 39 points then currently the side is 38.30 and Barker is 4.38, so gives Witches a total of 5.08 to play with to replace Riss as you can't replace Riss on a 6.14 as you'd be over the limit 5.08 riders.... Hans Andersen 4.96 Ben Barker 4.38 Cameron Heeps 4.18 Paul Starke 3.53 Craig Cook 5.05 Connor Mountain 4.51 Foreign Rider on a 5.00 which is unlikely For me Doyle, Rew, Emil, Riss, King, Hume, Rowe is best or Doyle, Rew, Emil, Cook, King, Hume, Rowe I know Danyon has done incredibly well at times this season but if he has these arm pump issues and can't do 5/6/7 rides then maybe there will come a time when they may look at that, in that last side you could have Cook & Barker in with Riss & Hume out

If you look into the Ipswich side starting from the bottom Away from home you can forgive your rising star scoring 0,0,0 if he gets a single point away then happy days. At home however his job in essence is to beat his opposite rising star in two heats thus scoring 2 points. Is Anders Rowe capable, i would say yes so get him in. King in essence at home should average 2 points per ride, so 8 from 4 as a minimum, last night he got 6 from 5 Barker i know has a lower average than Riss but he is in to get what Riss should, so 6/7 points from 4 rides on average, last night he got 5 from 5 Rew is on an assessed average so should be looking at getting 5 from 4 rides, last night RR scored 3 Danyon has the hardest job as most other clubs have a no.6 who is more experienced and score fairly well when in form, Danyon has really good meetings where he exceeds expectations and others where he's maybe his level, so from him knowing he has 5 rides at least winning his reserve race and maybe 3 third places out of his other 4 rides he should get 6 from 5 rides, last night he got 5 Based on Doyle and Emil getting 23 last night if everyone else got what was expected as a minimum its a total of 50/51 thats including the RS getting 2 points at home These riders apart from Doyle and Emil are and will always be inconsistent but when they all have a bad night this side will be exposed. 50/51 they could probably get away with one rider having a poor night

I might be wrong but Lindgren would require a redeclare and put witches over the points limit?

Witches facebook will be similar to Arsenal Fan TV tonight

Bring my old man up next thursday for his first lions meeting at the new place What is parking like and the general area around the stadium, we will likely be up a good few hours before the meeting starts

Well, witches didn't pick Joe T from the start, he is a replacement, possibly the best of the rest in terms of availability at the time.... taking into account that Rowe and Kemp maybe aren't interested that is

I've seen a few there on previous visits

Hasnt he got a CMA of 6.5 ish and hardly any last place, if its true he's on a 5 average thats alot to be excited about

If he is injured, and has received treatment or is taking anything - perhaps even advised a rest, don't see the issue with Worrall taking a short holiday, most families have to sacrifice during the season for speedway, if he has had some R&R and comes back firing then happy days

Is tonights meeting on Sky?

I also believed his hype as I backed out of a £100 bet on Panthers winning the league, he offered it out..... on facebook as it happens, should have seen this coming for the poor old Panthers its a farce at the end of the day, more so than the time Mick Poole attempted to dump Exeter out of the 4's back in 1989/1990 by slowing down to let a Berwick rider through to knock Exeter out of the Semi Finals.... later in the meeting his engine blew up at the most crucial moment in the final, tosser

Fancy a very slender away win tomorrow night

The money from Nicki P hasn't gone anywhere, the money just has not come in MT thought he was running the show, Buster put him in his place over Holder-gate Buster dealt with Nicki P on the pre-season budget now that MT has withheld or not paid his latest instalment there is no Nicki P budget It really has turned sour, MT & Johnson hoping to pick the club up from the ashes at the end of the season, which may work out well especially if they can find some land or a stay of execution at the showground Buster wants out, happy just owning Kings Lynn as a stadium

The only thing you can really compare it to is that Keynan Rew who doesn't ride is the Ekstraliga and he was a 5.00, gotta be a 7.00 for me, will be sort of surprised if its a 5.00 its good for Pboro if it is anyway These things don't happen overnight so surely Peterborough knew something was happening, so makes it more bizarre that Tomalin and Johnson attacked fans online, should have said nothing, delivered their win from Monday, announced new riders by the end of the week

I don't know if its me or Nicolai that is a bit stupid here But if he can't believe its 2023 and people still believe what they read on the internet, what is the reference point? Surely in 2023 more people than ever before are on the internet and more news/gossip is online, as opposed to 1993 Must be a Danish thing

No way Tarasenko will come in on a 5.00 average as an Ekstraliga rider with a current CMA of 6.50 for 2023, surely means he will come in on a 7.00 But I remember, this is British Speedway that put crump on a high average although he last rode in 1928

heard an interview with Steve Cooper Forest boss (Football) today Signed loads of players, spent loads of money, survived in the premier league he thanked supporters for sticking by the club during the season, said at times it was tough as supports would question his recruitment, his tactics, his team selection etc. but he also added "and quite rightly so they should be able to question it as they are supporters of the club, its their club and their right to have their opinion" but he added ultimately they have been supportive and that their support will always be with him etc. etc. etc. Put this into Speedway perspective, fans purchase season tickets or go to individual meetings paying their £22, they are supporters of the club first and foremost not supporters of who is in charge, or maybe the riders etc. they are supporters of the club and if things are not going well they can question it to the hills like in any sport without having access to the full facts - at least in some sports (football) things such as attendances, accounting, players transfer fees, wages to some degree are always made public or you have access to information via certain mediums Speedway is a closed shop which really brings it on themselves. Any PBoro fan paying just £22 once this season to attend one meeting should be able to criticise, any fan that has been in the past likewise, fans are the bloodline for any speedway club, at least football would/could survive without fans due to having a huge commercial industry with their TV deals Johnson should have kept quiet and just concentrated on getting the riders firing and hopefully replacing Nicki Tomalin should keep his mouth shut, his veneers are obviously too short, if someone on his staff spoke online to one of his car customers the way he spoke to a few fans, they'd be sacked Time for them to deliver something for the fans in the present in terms of results on track, fans I dont expect them to deliver on anything for 2024 as people understand it takes time

48-42 Kings Lynn as Johnson says its not about winning

Witches to win 50-40

With the amount of guests and use of RR they may as well scrap the race nights and just go with what is best Teams will then build sides with riders who would be available for their home meetings more often than not, away sides will likely see the use of guests and RR Depends on how many fixtures as surely they could work around Sweden/Denmark fixtures, perhaps less meetings with more completed sides is better than cramming in loads of meetings with loads of unavailability

If people are that unhappy then why not protest at your home meeting? We all know security wise speedway is extremely lacking. Safely, between races storm the track and delay a race with your protests, buster out, tomalin out etc whats the worst that will happen? A ban from the showground for life? Even the police won't be all that interested

Jakobsen is very good around Foxhall, probably wouldn't have the beating of Doyle/Emil unless an incident happened in a race But he is good enough to beat any of the other Ipswich riders, if he gets around 7-8 points from riding at no.1 that would be pretty impressive for me 51-39 to Ipswich here
