When is this?
-
Think this is one of the best Berwick teams in years and should, if all goes well, be nearer to the top of the league... However I just can't see anyone getting near Poole (Possibly Redcar but they look weaker with Knudsen instead of Jorgensen?). Poole's top 4 just look ridiculous and I think Hagon will do well at reserve. Don't think Tobias will be as bad as some think, but I don't think he will be spectacular either. Poole and Berwick top 2? Possibility.

Depends on how much said promoter takes the piss... everyone has a value and it should be acknowledged. And if the promoter is going to hand out below value offers he's just going to get rejection after rejection... not saying this is robs philosophy as I have no idea what goes on in the background but...

I've not got a problem with WHO was announced. Give the young, returning lad a chance. I'm just surprised it took them months to announce the final rider when he was one of the more obvious choices... its not like they'd have to negotiate a difficult deal... This league is all about development and I don't see it as any other.

That was 17 years ago... the rulebook has probably changed 300 times since then... Smetana signed for Poole one season but never actually rode as he couldn't get a visa. I believe the op has mixed up Skorja and Smetana. I was really looking forward to watching both ride for the Diamonds in 2020. It's a shame they, or anyone else, never will again.

Well that was an underwhelming wait
-
There's two types of rumours though... ones that have some truth and ones that are a load of horse sh!te... I could name a rider now and claim to have seen him at Manchester Airport etc and the rumour would begin... doesn't mean its true. Although, I did see Kenneth Hansen's van heading across the a66 last weekend
-
Nothing with any evidence behind it though... just people naming names...
-
I can't believe there's not even rumours flying around or anything about the final rider... There usually is

No one has seen a bad car park until you've been to see Fife Flyers play...

Because houses cost £3.50 and wages were somewhat more aligned with cost of living, unlike today? Probably the main reason... Other factors include lack of media coverage and gob rodfrey -
I don't see them doing that week in week out though. Just for big events. Not knocking the club at all, it's one of, if not THE best run club in the country. And definitely the best track

I wouldn't say plenty but some

Nearly 20 years before I was even born... -
Huge car park directly outside the stadium which gets filled most times, so if you're leaving it to the last minute you may have to park on the street outside, which is perfectly safe (for Middlesbrough anyway) and is a dead end road so you don't get much traffic coming up. I hope you have a 4x4 and not a long slung sports car... Also it's free!!

Premiership 2026 Confirmed Signings
Diamonds85 replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Wiktor Lampart is very good in Poland... But they're completely different tracks to over here. I can see him thriving or struggling and not doing a full season, nothing in between. -
Hope Matty Wethers and Max Clegg get a chance.

That's a shame... Other than Riss (same issue?) I really can't see anyone else being suitable. Plymouth are kinda screwed I think -

I'd be throwing everything I could at Adam Ellis personally. And if he doesn't fit I'd drop Jacob Hook (I know it's harsh) for a 2 or 3 pointer, whatever fits. -
Are Middlesbrough ever going to announce their final rider? It looks set to be a reserve so why not just give it to Alex or Katie?
-
I would hope they're announced very soon with the first fixture less than 50 days away... stating the obvious

One day this century Workington will announce their final rider
