TTT

Maybe the higher ups will allow riders like Jason Edwards to get fixed up in the NDL on an assessed average just to make sure that they've got another pay packet on top of the Championship in order to keep them afloat?

Unlike previous seasons, This year there is a reason as to why Clubs haven't splashed the cash to improve their teams throughout the season in an attempt to make a challenge for the title. Promotions have basically said to Belle Vue.....You can have it, If you want it because we're not going to put a further strain on our bank accounts that could jeopardise the future of the Club moving forwards after the loss of a TV deal as well as the League format being too repetitive to a point where the majority of fans have become straight up bored of the product this year.

It's delusional for anyone to think that it's lazy of the Bates family for example to not get themselves in even bigger financial trouble by signing a World Class replacement for Jack Holder just to mount a title challenge on BSN.

I said that on the Ipswich v Belle Vue thread. Not good enough for Aces fans though.

In your opinion. Personally I class myself as an Ipswich fan these days considering I've decided to continue attending the same local track to watch live Speedway for a few years now. Naturally I want to see that Club (Ipswich) win every time no matter who the opposition is as it's the Club/Team that I pay money to support and watch on a regular basis. Much like Ex-Swindon fans who attend Oxford meetings and support them on a regular basis.

LOL! Another one who can't handle the truth in a debate to a point where he has to result to being a naughty boy. You know full well by now that I'm not afraid to speak the truth when challenged. Must admit, It's kind of fitting how this years tin pot silverware is going to a tin pot fan base that only turns up when a trophy is on the centre green. Must be a Mancunian thing I guess considering their recent track record when it comes to local sports clubs.

You've won a league that most fans and promotions gave up on weeks ago. It's hardly an achievement tbh, Nobody was willing to throw even more money down a drain just to mount a challenge to Belle Vue in a season that will never be held or remembered in a positive light.

Belle Vue are the Manchester City. Put out top sides on a regular basis but barely has a fan base that goes to watch them in action.

Majority of Promotions and Fans just wanted the season to end because the vast majority of fans were getting bored of it and promotions didn't want to run at an even bigger loss.

Embarrassing to lap this win up tbh. If only Aces fans were as passionate away from this forum as they are on it then maybe the NSS would get a half decent crowd in for a change.

Aces fans make me laugh actually lapping this tin pot crap domestic season up that most fans lost interest in weeks ago. It became very clear that the Aces couldn't lose because everything fell in place for them, Clubs who've faced problems haven't bothered to address the issues they've faced while Belle Vue did when losing Bewley. Proof is in the pudding. Sheffield didn't act with Jack Holder's season ending injury, They just crossed their fingers and hoped King's Lynn wouldn't finish 4th. Leicester didn't act when facing issues with underperformers as well as the Kyle Howarth situation. Ipswich didn't act with Richard Lawson's off track attitude as well as getting Tom Brennan some help due to his on track struggles. King's Lynn have seen Max Fricke underperform this season which effectively ended any sort of challenge from them. Northampton have had a season to forget with a number of underperformers to a point where they've ended up with a 44 year old at No.1.

I'm reading it as Woryna GP Rider this season and next. However would the 2027 season count towards the average assessment despite the GP's getting underway after the British League has started?

I read that as full time GP Riders 8.00. But riders who've ridden 1 full GP season and then competed in other GP's as a Wildcard or injury replacement would qualify as 7.50. At worst we're looking at under 25 Points for a No.1, Musielak and Woryna.

He looks decent from what I've seen of him this season in a struggling Ostrow side. Would make sense as well if he was to sign for Wroclaw.

I just threw out the first two names that came into my head without looking up on what averages they'd be given tbh. Thanks for the screenshot, Woryna defo an 8.00 then.

Don't see us having a young No.1 tbh unless Woryna is on an 8.50 rather than the 8.00 that I assume (He'd start as a No.1 then) My very early vision for a 1-5 is something like this at the moment. 1. J. Doyle, M. Fricke or F. Lindgren 2. 5.00 Polish Youngster via the Wroclaw agreement (Marcel Kowolik? Kevin Malkiewicz? etc.) 3. K. Woryna 4. D. King or T. Brennan 5. T. Musielak

Agree, I think Kim Nilsson qualifying is a negative for Lindgren's chances of a wildcard. 5 Man Teams in Denmark and no guarantee of starts could also sway riders decisions.

Agree, I think we'll see him in the UK in 2027 if he doesn't get the final wildcard for the GP's tbh (Assume Bewley and J. Holder are two of the three)

Mayfield should test the waters with Freddie Lindgren. Swedish tyre situation and the possibility of no GP's could open up an opportunity imo.

Only reason why I'm keen on Fricke is due to him being the best fit for when it comes to the NSS and Owlerton which are two tracks that always feature in the play-offs and ones that we struggle the most around. I'd love to have Emil back though.

Became obvious very quickly though with the improvements from Blodorn/Zischke while other teams hit a brick wall when it comes to key riders. Belle Vue acted while others didn't when snapping up Doyley. Sheffield lost Jack and decided to pin their hopes on King's Lynn missing out on 4th place when running R/R with a vision to using Fricke for the play-offs (Gamble paid off). King's Lynn will always be King's Lynn and they've even made Fricke underperform from Day 1 (Club must be a curse) Brennan got abducted by aliens in April and hasn't been seen for 6 Months leading to Ipswich becoming a 2 Man Team most weeks. Masters has had a terrible season for the Lions when they needed him to step up when signed as the No.5. Belle Vue can only beat what's in front of them though and credit to them, Deserved Champions.

Thought he said this year was his last as a rider before the 2026 campaign started.

Brennan is a real tough one for me and I'm currently 51% OUT and 49% IN tbh. My concern is that this year Tom has gone missing in a very weak League when we've needed riders to step up under big pressure. For me the final decision regarding Tom's status should be based around whether we can get a spearhead that contains three from the following 4 (Doyle, Fricke, Musielak and Woryna)

I highlighted the point about Scotty as TM last night as well, The more I think about it, The more I like the idea tbh. Has the respect of his fellow pro's, Knows the Club and British Speedway inside out and I can't think of anyone better to help bring on younger team members with his knowledge and experience tbh.

I think Mike makes a very good point here. Tom's best seasons have come when he's had no pressure on him. It was the same when he first joined Ipswich, We had Emil and Doyley taking the pressure off everyone else in the side.
