Is Jordan Palin ready for Championship speedway?
HGould replied to DC2's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
complete twaddle. If you're good enough, you're old enough. NDL likely to reduce is quality and quantity, he could double down anyway, let him race older more experienced riders and he will learn quicker. Didn't do Peter Collins and Michael Lee any harm did it?? -
Championship League Team Points Limit
HGould replied to DC2's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
if it was/is 41 why would you reduce for extra teams. All that does is make second strings redundant and forces too many 2 pointers in to reserve. Best to increase limit to 44 or 45 allows all the available heat leaders and second strings to be included and add a rule each side has to run a 2 point reserve at 7. That's fairer. -
Pre AGM for PL/CL was end of September No Pre AGM for NDL yet held.

Birmingham Brummies 2020
HGould replied to ProudtobeaBrummie's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
New Owners (indirectly) are the infamous Barclay brothers, right wing hoodlums of the worst kind and apparently now selling assets to cover £500m black hole in their various UK businesses according to FT! They own Arena Leisure. -
I was most impressed with Brennan when he came to Perry Barr before his accident. Wish him well although I don't think it's any surprise Eastbourne have taken him on again as that average will have scared a few off after such a bad injury. A noble gesture by the Eagles though at a time when many clubs churn riders in and out for fun. (Brummies included)

Is there any prospect of Workington returning in 2020 or 2021? Be great if they did at recent or new venue.
-
Not sure where the "only one rider above 8.00 GSA comes from as if you count the number in CL there are currently 17 and if 11-12 teams that's 5 or 6 out of a job! I agree and think Scott may move on and may be Poole or Eastbourne a bit closer to his home base? Read Lawsons comments in Speedway Star last week and seems he might be on the move again in CL and possibly PL?, Glasgow might want him back and Leicester would suit his Midlands base? Lawson for Scott, Worrall and Douglas would be a formidable top 3.

Kent have a nice Stand it's rarely more than 1/3rd full. Kent have an awful track that could, if realigned to use available space better be an excellent track. Kent have a major problem with a 2 hour curfew and as a result have run NDL to find ways of best getting round that restriction and credit to them for that. To suggest Central Park is ready for FIM approval and GP Qualifiers on basis of one Stand never fully utilised and awful access issues from North and every other direction is frankly very amusing May be look at Glasgow, Newcastle, Sheffield, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Kings Lynn; Ipswich, Peterborough (probably others) who have "big Stands" and in many cases far better race tracks and infrastructure. Sorry I forgot Berwick..(big stand!)
-
May be unfair to point blame at the Club but more the Media Partner of the Club Have had cause to bemoan similar at Birmingham this season, same provider!!!. I think that provider was once excellent but now comes over as complacent and lazy. Those Clubs with their own provision like Glasgow / Edinburgh / Berwick / Eastbourne seem to be way ahead in innovation and content.
-
Would have thought Leicester and Wolves very keen to retain Ryan Douglas and both very accessible from Swindon!! Scotty to Poole looks a much better fit if he leaves Leicester especially as would fit in better with his BT Sport SGP commitments on a Saturday night that would rule Eastbourne out.
-
Hopefully half right as Broc would suit Brummies perfectly. Great to see Sheffield back in top level Speedway.
-
Think you'll have an "Ellis" but it won't be Perks??...
-
Totally agree, Sheffield belong in top flight and on a Thursday night and if they can build a solid side (using some Poole assets / riders) and current side they should thrive.
-
is Kyle actually confirmed yet when no points limit, his parent Club (Poole) are possibly going CL, he used to ride for Plymouth and as a few pointed out at the time the Eastbourne announcement of Kerr and Kyle as subject to structure / points limit / parents club approval. To add to the intrigue isn't one of the Eastbourne Promoters moving to Plymouth? (seen it on a video somewhere on Facebook) Personally i'd love Kyle at Birmngham but read he did not enjoy his time at PB which was disappointing to read. I wish him well, far better rider than average indicates and nice chap.

Berwick, Sheffield and Kent.
HGould replied to poolebolton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
sheffield and kent. -
Barker ; Lawson ; Newman; Atkins + Morley Add in another Heat Leader and second string and that looks suspiciously like a CL Team in the making to me?? Ellis and Starke anyone?? 41.32 (very solid)

Birmingham Brummies 2020
HGould replied to ProudtobeaBrummie's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Danyon certainly deserves a chance at CL level but I feel we must move quickly as will be a lot of Clubs after quality British reserves. -
Isn't Anders a Swindon asset? I would think occasional rides there and another season at Somerset would be ideal for him.
-
Get rid of Quirke and Pearson please Awful David Rowe is not the answer though Alex Raby ??? would be a massive improvement.

Berwick, Sheffield and Kent.
HGould replied to poolebolton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
can't see that being the reason unless Eurosport deal gives every Club £100k each in which case Poole would not be moving down. Kent at 6.30pm on a Monday doesn't sit well with TV scheduling and Berwick are a Saturday track so are they going to risk that to run Monday/Thursday for what would be probably no more than 3-4 k TV money per home meeting? -

Rowe and Flint for me most improved young riders this season and seem to have overtaken Kemp and Bickley (who is awful away from his home tracks in both Leagues). Thompsons' though have been a revelation and despite the hope have exceeded expectations, Palin is very capable spoiler too Who is Tom Young?, new name to me??
