  1. No reason as to why it shouldn't air on TNT rather than Discovery+. TNT have 4 Channels and Sky Sports own the rights to Monday Night Football.
  2. Best thing that can happen is TNT pay to get out of the contract and all Premiership racing / GP's move to BSN. Can bump up the Premiership pass subscription, Can also do a GP pass subscribition too if BSN want to seperate the events up like they do currently with the Premiership/Championship.
  3. 1. IPS (Will walk it if everyone stays fit, Fantastic 1-7 that's power packed in every department) 2. BV (Unbeatable around the NSS unless it's one of those silly lunchtime meetings) 3. KL (Just rock solid throughout and it reminds me of P'borough 2021, Dark Horses) 4. SHE (Big name riders will bail them out in Ht's 13 & 15 to see them pip the Lions to 4th) 5. LEI (Solid 1-7 but Fricke goes missing too many times, No longer have Lawson to cover for him) 6. BIR (Is MJJ on a short term deal? Returnees may take a while to adapt to UK tracks again) 7. OX (Banking on Janowski returning to his Poole form just to put some wins on the board imo)
  4. Maybe Harris wanted to go, He did go on record saying he wanted to ride for KL one day.
  5. Gusts is a good signing, He's not a bad rider at all, Oxford have done a decent job of salvaging the team building debacle. It may feel a little underwhelming due to the points left to play with but Oxford could do a whole lot worse than Gusts. Gusts has scope to improve, He's young and he's not afraid to mix it so that's all Oxford can ask for considering the position they were in.
  6. Exactly, Oxford will learn from the mistake they made this winter and they won't make it again imo.
  7. If the rules are the same as last year then MJJ will be a 7.00-7.50 because he rode in the Ekstraliga in 2024. If Brum are saying third HL then I guess Zagar must be a 7.00-7.50 as well.
  8. The only negative side to signing MJJ is that Brum will have to keep one eye on Grudziadz's performances this year. The Polish club are known to kick up a fuss when results turn sour in the Ekstraliga or if one of their riders has a big fall on a track that's not Polish. Jakobsen, Pedersen and Tarasenko are recent examples of that as well as Doyle being treated badly by the Grudziadz management after a season ending crash at KL.
  9. Decent team (No.6 bound to be someone half decent), Brum fans should be happy with that considering BV, Ipswich & Sheffield will always snap up the best riders. Will be found wanting on the road imo but once dialled in to PB then they should win more than a fair share of home meetings. Oxford are nailed on for the wooden spoon this year after making a mess of team building by chasing a pipe dream in Bewley.
  10. Make or break signing tomorrow. Need to get someone from the Ekstraliga 2 League in Poland at worst.
  11. Now that all teams are basically complete, This is my final table prediction for the Championship. 1. GLASGOW (Will finish top but might not win the league unless a change is made at reserve) 2. REDCAR (Powerful 1-5 with lots of improvement in the team) 3. POOLE (Cairns isn't eligible until 29th June, Hence why I've got Poole down for 3rd) 4. BERWICK (I wasn't expecting them to sign PK, Strong No.1/No.5 with a strong reserve all season) 5. OXFORD (Expect a slow start to the season, Will need Scott to return in full flow) 6. WORKINGTON (Strong at Home but they'll struggle away unless Vuolas & Zischke get dialled in) 7. SCUNTHORPE (Strong at H but they'll struggle A, I don't see average improvers in the team) 8. EDINBURGH (Good signings in Polis & Palovaara but they don't have a strong No.1/No.5 combo) 9. PLYMOUTH (Good signing in Nicolai Klindt but he doesn't have much back up elsewhere) CHAMPIONS (Poole)
  12. Don't think they wanted them at the time, I think Oxford made a mess of team building by pursuing Bewley to a point where they scrambled around for Kildemand.
  13. Two from Five imo, If a EU rider did make his services available then I think Oxford would also go for them and offer a better deal than Birmingham. Batchelor S. Worrall Sedgmen Kerr Vuolas
  14. Lodz and Opole are two of the three smallest tracks in Poland (Torun the other), Therefore Oskar shouldn't have any trouble getting around Edinburgh. Good signing.
  15. To be fair Edinburgh would've jumped at the chance of signing Klindt instead they're going to end up Sedgmen and Castagna at No.1 & No.5.
  16. Santa Claus Vissing announced tomorrow?
  17. So are we now ruling out Nilsson and Thorssell? They surely would've been announced tonight if they were the last two as rumoured. Are we possibly looking at two from the following four? Sedgmen, Vuolas, S. Worrall & Kerr
  18. I agree with a few other members, This is the way to go. 1. Covatti 2. Bowtell 3. Barker 4. J. Thompson 5. Palm Toft (Get a good choice of guests when the inevitable happens) 6. Fredriksen 7. Trigger
  19. Are you trying to convince yourself or are you trying to convince everyone else lol.
  20. 8.50 Champ confirmed on Berwick's rider profile page for PK which means that he must be a 6.00 in the Prem.
  21. Oxford have learnt a lesson this winter, Don't go chasing a pipe dream that's very unlikely to become a reality (Bewley) Utter madness and now they've left themselves well short in 2025 to a point where they're relying on the old Kildemand to turn up, Relying on Tungate to become an established No.1 over a full season in a stronger 2025 Premiership as well as relying on a rider from Europe to fill the last spot otherwise they're well under the limit with a British based rider like Steve Worrall, Justin Sedgmen, Lewis Kerr etc.
  22. It would've helped if they let us know in the AGM press release. Berwick's rider profile page does have Kildemand down as 8.50 though so perhaps the conversion rate is now 1.4 and the higher ups have just rounded the assessed Kildemand figure up to 8.50 instead of 8.40.
  23. Berwick have now confirmed Kildemand's average of 8.50 which means he's a 6.00 in the Premiership.
  24. Kildemand confirmed as the No.1 at Berwick. Conversion rate is x 1.5 isn't it? Therefore Kildemand has to be on a GSA over 5.50 considering Cook's Championship average is 8.42 after the 2.5% Reduction. Erik Riss' 5.55 Premiership average only converts into a 8.32 Championship average.
  25. 1. GLASGOW (Weak reserve pairing but the top 5 is brilliant, Expect Boughen to kick on riding at No.2 with Harris at No.1) 2. POOLE (Assuming they sign Cairns when eligible to ride) 3. REDCAR (Brilliant top 5 see's them comfortably finish in the top 4 imo) 4. OXFORD (Based on Nicholls signing once he's recovered from surgery) 5. WORKINGTON (Young team with lots of improvement in them imo) 6. SCUNTHORPE (Strong Home Form will see them finish in mid-table imo) 7. BERWICK (Schlein will be going through the motions and if the replacement is Nick Morris then he might take a while to get going) 8. EDINBURGH (Sedgmen and Castagna at No.1 & No.5 isn't going to cut it in 2025 imo) 9. PLYMOUTH (They won't pose a threat to anyone in 2025 no matter who the final signings are imo)
