Yeah, but it's a blow up air fence and not a polyfoam, so meetings might last longer than we're used to 😄

It's risky to trust anything a teenager tells his girlfriend!

I can only speak for me, but I'd pay for it.

I don't think he likes it there. He was certainly showing interest in signing for Glasgow.

Yes, Claus at 3 would definitely help. Bomber + Leon + Claus + Foord + Hodder would leave pretty much bang on 10 points left, which feels workable.

It's possible it could be Leon, I guess. Depends how they want to spread the points. It would give us a stronger middle and reserves, but would be a risk to make him the #5.

What's a fixture?

Sam averaged 1.64, Celina averaged 2.45, so you were down 1.91 before Starke came along. He averaged 4.15 for you.

Glasgow reserves -2.29 🫣

Then get rid of them, so the rest of us have a sport to watch. If we cave in to the lowest common denominator, we're all done anyway.

Good luck with that.

People moaned their arses off about Marcelina when she presented SGP coverage for the world feed too. Dinosaurs die out but it seems new species crop up.

Natalie Quirk. She’s a Belle Vue fan.

U21/youth events don't have great attendance, but I think that would only partially apply to NDL. People prefer to support a team, generally. NDL provides that, albeit the level would put some off.

Yes, he's not the answer. His current average is fair and not much chance of pushing it up. It would be better to sign a younger rider with more prospect of improving.

I think they were considering an NDL team for 2024 late last year, but decided against. There were a few factors: it would require more volunteers, more track staff time, probably another team manager as it would be a lot for Cami to do that as well - he does have a life outside of speedway! Also, they were pretty pissed with the way the end of the NJL season was handled. No idea how much the extra cost of running a team in NDL factored in, but the practical side of things was definitely part of it.

They don't like his away average. They seem to ignore that he's barely ridden those tracks, is still only 19, and has shown fantastic week-by-week improvements at Ashfield. The away improvements would come naturally, but I keep hearing this line about the away average from too many people, so either someone is playing a weird bluff, or they're not interested in having him back. Sad if they're not willing to invest a second year in the one guy who has shown real potential. I hope he makes them regret it if that's the case, because he was first on my list. He's not the complete package yet, but he's working it out pretty fast.

I don't disagree.

Suspect Leon, almost certainly not JP though 😑

Higher, actually.! Basso 10.34 Tarasenko 11.25

On a price-per-pass basis, Ashfield is fantastic value, but that's triggering to fans of some other clubs 😄

I used to think that, but now I'm not so sure. He's certainly the source of a lot of views that get banded around, but whether they come from or through him, I don't know.

Exactly this. We just need to convince Cami...

Plenty of us thought it wasn't a playoff team even before Lee's escapade. Starke was a very strange signing and not re-signing Claus was a really obvious miss too. James Pearson was a bit of a gamble but turned out to be a good one, but it sounds like they aren't keen on him for next year. Madness.

If literally anyone could pronounce his first name that would also be progress...
