Couldn't they find a better guest than Sedgman to replace Pickering???

Somewhere there is a Nigerian prince wondering what speedway is all about...

If it's anything like last years cup meetings these ties will be a cracker.

They announced it during the meeting with Poole from what i recall.

You're right about it being a dust bowl!

I was really pleased to have gone along to the British Youth Championships yesterday, 32 heats of exciting racing and i enjoyed the young riders coming round to do a lap of honour after most races which is something which doesn't happen as often as it should at senior level. The only downer to Sunday's action was the pathetic crowd which i estimated at less that 75 souls and what makes that more astonishing was the low price at the gate (£10 + £1.50 for a programme). Apart from a relatively small amount of die-hard speedway fans it was a disgrace considering that the entertaining racing lasted well over two hours with very few delays and each rider gave 100%. Well done to all the riders who took part, you really put on a show *Perhaps next year the British Youth Championships will go to a more deserving venue.

It's not all bad news for the Brum. Morris did really well, Ellis is coming in, Pearson will improve and Auty and Nielsen are better than that normally.

Yeah i got it totally wrong. I'm sure Man City fans would love to have 10 players signed at the start of next season and be looking for an eleventh just a few days before the opening game, to finally be told that Guardiola was bringing in Bob McTavish from the Dog & Duck on a free.

He did and Bewley was never likely to ride in Britain this year.

How am i wrong? Jake Allen is technically just an emergency signing. Or were you talking about Lemon's constant failure?

Lemon's had five months to sign 7 riders and is the only team manager out of 25 clubs across the three leagues who has failed to complete a team. It seems he continually gets rewarded for failure.

No real savings at all on season tickets. I was looking at the website this morning, in particular the season tickets page and i noticed that there are no real savings to be had on buying one. Take a student season ticket for example. They cost £145 (based on 13 home fixtures – 10 league, two Summer Cup and the first round of the KO Cup) which works out at £11.153 per meeting a saving of less than 85 pence per meeting (cost per meeting is £12) If someone with a season ticket even miss just the one meeting over the course of the season then each meeting will cost them £12.08. Factor in the booking fee and it just doesn't seem an attractive offer imo.

Not sure if Edinburgh fans should be worried about this after confirming Paco as their third heat leader...

You mean if they're not stored properly they start to smell really bad?

I'll have to dust off my old moped...

Still a good price for NL action imo.

Anyone know what the admission prices will be for the Armadale Devils opener on the 8th of April?

Failure always seems to be rewarded in the modern world as he's now being given the position of CEO as well as Director of Speedway and Team Manager. In reality he should be offered the position of Track Raker because even he couldn't screw that up. [edit] He probably could...

Are there any fixtures (eg Scottish Cup) lined up before April the 15th? It's a bit long to wait for any action to start at Ashfield imo.

Sedgman, Ellis, Rasmus, NBJ, Tommy J, Gappmaier, Keleher, Josh Bates, Lasse Bjerre, Ruml plus a few from Australia and Scandanavia. Plenty of riders out there who come March may have diminishing options overseas and Birmingham with its central location and airport might look attractive?

Not sure if someone has put this up on here yet but for anyone that's interested here's the full meeting from Mildura last week: Jason Lyons Solo Trophy 12 February 2022 - YouTube

Doesn't matter who they sign, with Mark Lemon in charge they're going to win zip.

Morten Harket?

'Survival'?? Bit overdramatic no?

True.
