TTT

I've had them on mute that's why. They simply log in every day to hate and take the pish out of everything related to British Speedway.

Rory Schlein was the prime example as to what will happen to riders like Howarth and King if One Big League ever happened.

They can stop throwing money down a drain and take up an apprenticeship / career / job outside of the Sport. You're totally fine with riders like Howarth and King losing the vast majority of their income and then basically calling them liars for saying that they'll retire if One Big League was to happen. I'll await your next flawed reply.

Can't come up with a constructive reply this time can you?

Somebody has to speak the truth. If some youngsters can't cut it in the CHAMP then they've got no chance of cutting it against much better opposition in the PREM. The ones who are good enough at CHAMP level, All get opportunities at PREM level.

I can't recall a time where Howarth has been dropped by a PREM Club. Simon Lambert may as well quit if I'm being brutally honest, Youngsters who can't cut it in the CHAMP may as well quit too. Drew Kemp is lucky that Leicester exist because he's done nothing but cost Leicester trophies over the last couple of years and he's got a quitters mentality at PREM level tbh.

Riders like Kyle never get dropped.

Told everyone all winter that riders would quit if one big league were to happen. CHAMP Clubs can't afford to pay them what PREM Clubs do.

Ablitt's last GSA was 5.04 4.91 after 2.5% Reduction.

Only way it makes sense, That'll rule out the Wolves Trio rumour entirely which bring us onto the new rumour of Lambert @ No.1. Olly Allen as TM? He'd snap up King and he'd be working with Lambert and Brennan before the World Cup.

It's an interesting one because Becker hasn't been name dropped for Northampton. If we had Brennan, Becker, King and Rew for example then it only leaves 10.38 meaning no room for a No.1 as the No.6 has to be a minimum 3.00.

Are we looking at one of these. Team A (Wolves Trio Rumour) 1. T. Woffinden 8.45 2. J. Jeppesen 4.34 3. L. Becker 6.88 4. K. Rew 6.19 5. T. Brennan 7.05 6. J. Jenkins 3.46 7. J. Edwards (RS) TM Pete Adams Team B 1. R. Lambert 7.81 2. R. Tungate 5.89 3. D. King 6.50 4. K. Rew 6.19 5. T. Brennan 7.05 6. J. Jenkins 3.46 7. J. Edwards (RS) TM Olly Allen

100% agree, Fricke's a good signing but his GSA is inflated due to him take an R/R Ride in Heat 8's alot last year. Where's Lambert's is only that low because he's only shown up for the Play-Offs in recent seasons, Can easily put a 0.75-1.00 point on a 8.00 Assessed GSA imo.

King is an interesting one and I don't think he's a lock tbh. It's a fitting send off for all of Louis, Hawkins and King to depart together after winning the PREM imo. Got to go for Rew @ No.4 imo and if the Becker rumour is true then he's the No.3 with Brennan @ No.5.

I was going to say that tbh but I've got a feeling that they'll round Lambert's GSA up to 8.00 tbh.

Bang on. Mayfield Sports not only have the Money but they've also got leverge when it comes to GP Riders who are middle of the pack who normally need a favour via a Wildcard to get back in the following season. I'm confident that we'll have 50% of Team GB's eventual World Cup line-up in Ipswich race suits this year.

I don't mind waiting as long as it takes, Just as long as the wait is worth it.

Think the Clubs in positions 1-5 are all capable of winning the League tbh as they've all got a Rider or Two in their 1-7's that could have a breakout season. 1. GLASGOW 2. POOLE 3. OXFORD 4. REDCAR 5. PLYMOUTH 6. WORKINGTON 7. EDINBURGH 8. BERWICK 9. SCUNTHORPE

Moan about budget 1-7's that lose constantly which leads to an outcry for team changes. Moan when a 1-7 doesn't have an Out an Out No.1 due to a Club balancing the books. Moan when an expensive 1-7 gets put together in regards to the costs involved. Proof is in the pudding that moaners will moan regardless. British Speedway Owners can't win unless they're are signing riders like Bartosz Zmarzlik on £20 per point contracts.

It's not justified at all in this case but then again you're a very Anti-British Speedway member of this forum tbh. Put out a poor 1-7 from the start and the glory hunting fans won't turn up at all. Spend the money by putting out a good 1-7 and the glory hunters will bail out as soon as the going gets tough. That's on the fickle fans.

Fans turn up to watch their Club, Not the opposition. I'm all for constructive criticism when it comes to British Speedway because the higher ups make a number of mistakes (Too many) but sometimes the negativity on here isn't justified imo.

British Speedway is far from perfect, I agree 100% and it's nothing like it used to be. I could list a number of issues that I've got with it too however no fan should turn their back on their Club when results don't go their way though because it just makes them look like a glory hunter tbh. Have to take the rough with the smooth, The good times with the bad times as the saying's go which is what the owners are politely saying in statements by issuing rallying calls to fans when asking them to stick by their Club during a difficult period.

To be fair, The fan mentality was like that before inflation, COVID etc. Unfortunately Speedway fans don't have the mentality as Football fans for example who are also from a working class background. No matter the results, They'll be their every week supporting the Club through the good times and bad ones. British Speedway fans bail out when their Club hits a rough patch and then it forces the hand of Clubs to go public with statements.

If fans stuck by their Club through thick and thin instead of having a 'We're only turning up when we're winning mentality' then Clubs wouldn't need to put out statements. British Speedway is far from perfect and the highers up make a number of mistakes but I don't see a problem with Clubs politely calling out fans who bail out when the going gets tough results wise for their Club on track.

Which Clubs?
