bit of a slow afternoon, so put together some sort of teams IF they persuade Glasgow to come to the top table and make it a 6 team top tier again so if Ipswich went down the route of 1. Sayfutdinov 2. Rew 3. Douglas 4. B Cook 5. Doyle 6. D Thompson 7. Boughen Belle Vue - 1. Kurtz 2. Blodorn 3. Wright 4. Brennan 5. Lidsey 6. Z Cook 7. Bailey Kings Lynn - 1. R Lambert 2. Breum 3. Becker 4. Klindt 5. King 6. S Lambert 7. Rowe Sheffield - 1. Woffinden 2. Howarth 3. Pickering 4. Ellis 5. C Holder 6. Wojdylo 7. Gilkes Leicester - 1. Fricke 2. Kerr 3. Lawson 4. R Worrall 5. Masters 6. Riss 7. Kemp Glasgow - 1. Musielak 2. Basso 3. Harris 4. Tarasenko 5. Bewley 6. Jenkins 7. Edwards How would the witches fare against comparible teams? One thing I have noticed is that if they did only have 6 sides next season there would ultimately be a few riders without top flight rides who you could argue should be in there, missing a fair few from that list above

Next season Ipswich should go if you include the comments RH made about Rew 1. Emil Sayfutdinov 2. Keynan Rew 3. Ryan Douglas 4. Ben Cook 5. Jason Doyle 6. Dan Thompson 7. Ashton Boughen I'd have said Riss over Rew personally as agreed Riss on a 6 hasn't worked out due to his illness but next season on a below 5 average IF fit would be worthwhile

No point pitching new ideas on a forum, many fans blame riders or the promoters for ruining the sport but most aren't open to new ideas themselves, all have some part of the blame for how poor the sport is now and will be in the future

It was posted on Twitter this morning, not sure how Brennan goes at Leicester

Brennan in for Lawson for the evening match

Im sure Bewley stated the other week he's not keen to guest for other sides especially close to the play offs. Perhaps Batchelor will guest for Cook in the night fixture and they'll run R/R for Lawson

Boughen guesting for Ipswich tomorrow Baldy

28 day visa has expired apparently and its not being renewed, he'll be hot property for 2024

Cook OUT Michelsen IN

If the rules stay the same next season wouldn't be against having both Dan and Jason at reserve next season

Is that gonna be fit or race fit though? Maybe try Boughen vs Lynn and Pboro?

but if it is the same as this year and you want to keep both Doyle and Emil then this would be my option 1. E, Sayfutdinov - 9.91 2. Z. Cook 4.84 3. N. Klindt 6.50/ A. Ellis 6.00 4. B. Cook 5.09 5. J. Doyle 9.37 6. J. Jenkins 3.22/ D. Hume 3.64 7. D. Thompson R/S

Too pricey for Lynn that

He's probably not seen it

Could end up Lambert for Lawson, Lawson for Laguta

Cook out Mikkel Michelsen in?

Woofinden and Kye Thomson/Jye Etheridge maybe for Ellis and Kerr Etheridge would be good value at the NSS if its indeed a Sheffield vs Belle Vue play off final

Feel sorry for Artem really brought in my the now ex manager and the owner now responsible for the finances probably most definitely doesn't want him there on that wage Have a feeling Harris joined Peterborough knowing he'll soon be doubling in for Artem at Kings Lynn

Please note I only said R/R for Laguta based on him riding tonight which would be an easy excuse to miss the meeting, i hope he is there as it would be good to see him vs Emil

R/R for Artem tomorrow night

Switched to belle vue as its woffindens first meeting

Hans is at Birmingham?

I've thought about this too and if i were the BSPL I'd encourage it, for a live Eurosport meeting. The level of publicity it would attract in the press and mainstream tv would be like nothing ever seen before for the sport And as the saying goes there's no such thing as bad publicity

probably would but EVERYONE has their part to play to give the sport a shot in the arm, if they could cap the ticket prices for say 3 years £20 Adults, £15 OAPs, U25s £12.00 U18s FREE

I think you need to go back to the drawing board, work with Denmark & Sweden, and in essence mainly look to run on the best race night for you, build a side based on your home night, yes guests and R/R are an issue in Speedway but its not the main evil when you are fighting against survival. Going back to my earlier post, you should have either one league or a regionalised league, if regionalised North/South to form a little credibility when using guests you should only be able to use one from the other region. North - Belle Vue, Berwick, Workington, Sheffield, Scunthorpe, Glasgow, Redcar South - Leicester, Oxford, Ipswich, Kings Lynn, Poole, Plymouth, Birmingham You then split the sides, so you are basically combining a First Team with a Reserve team. Numbers 1-4 are main body riders (riders 1 & 3 are heat leaders), riders 5-7 are your reserve team with no.5 being a senior reserve, 6 & 7 are junior reserves You get 2 Jnr x reserve races so 6 & 7 vs 6 & 7 each jnr then gets a programmed race with their senior reserve at no.5 The Snr Reserve then gets a programmed ride with riders 2 & 4 Riders 1 - 4 then get a programmed ride riding with each other, with 1 & 3 (heat leaders getting 2 x programmed rides together) That would make up a 13 Heat Formulae riders 1-5 getting 4 programmed rides, riders 6-7 getting 3 programmed rides Individual Junior Championship then takes place in the "2nd Half of Meetings" all 4 Jnr reserves race off in an individual championship over 4 heats so each rider gets a ride at each gate, 4 rides on the trot yes BUT you could have a 20 minute allocated time barring any stoppages to get the 4 heats run. This would/could/should make it cheaper for teams as they essentially will have 3 juniors/amateur/semi pro riders in the side to pay across 3 programmed rides, they then get their individual championship for additional track time, maybe overall junior champion gets a bike supplied by BSPL at the end of the season. Teams then have 4 main body riders to pay all taking 4 programmed rides plus 4 rides for a Senior Reserve who is still semi-pro level. I made a list and you could get all 14 sides made up of current riders competing at Championship and National league level plus a few in the top flight. This allows some established riders in the side plus all sides will see the development of younger riders coming through who can progress from Jnr level to Snr Reserve level then into the main body. A few team examples Berwick 1. Chris Harris 2. Leon Flint 3. Craig Cook 4. Kye Thomson SNR. Connor Coles JNR. Jamie Halder JNR. Luke Harrison Sheffield 1. Adam Ellis 2. Connor Mountain 3. Josh Pickering 4. Dan Gilkes SNR. Nathan Ablitt JNR. Tom Woolley JNR. Arran Butcher Poole 1. Richard Lawson 2. Zach Cook 3. Ben Cook 4. Anders Rowe SNR. Lee Complin JNR. Dayle Wood JNR. Tom Spencer Plymouth 1. Luke Becker 2. Broc Nicol 3. Ben Barker 4. Hans Andersen SNR. Alfie Bowtell JNR. Danny Phillips JNr. Kelsey Dugard
