TTT

Don't think we will ever see him back in the UK tbh, Needs to drop his demands considerably. Apparently he was asking for No.1 money the year he rode for Birmingham.

This ref is the sort of ref you'd get in a British league.

I'll f'in smash his head in lol. Picko didn't mince his words.

Proof that an audience is still around for British Speedway. TNT was just a hindrance to the Sport, It's a dead channel that changes it's name more times than Katie Price changes her appearance. Behind a pay wall as well and barely anyone who isn't already signed up to the channel would take out a subscription just to watch British Speedway once a week for 6 Months of the year.

Expecting a big increase when it comes to team building limits tbh. Even lower end riders are on 5+ GSA's now.

I wouldn't rule out Doyley being the Foxes No.1 tbh in a team that also features Ellis, Iversen and Lawson.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm a realist and I fully expect us to go down by a minimum of 20 Points around the NSS so having the 2nd Leg at Home would've seen a big drop in attendance imo. Having the 1st Leg at Home is a blessing financially and maybe it'll also make the SF tie a little more interesting overall.

We've seen it for sure but he was racing for Birmingham and King's Lynn at the time. Birmingham were a mess and most top riders do seem to have a problem with the King's Lynn management. Think the final decision will come down to how many points Mayfield have left to use after Woryna, King, Brennan and a strong No.6 tbh as I can't see King being released due to his off track leadership.

100%, If it wasn't for King and Musielak's performances then we would've finished last without a shadow of doubt. King has stepped up from the get go this season and has shown why the club has so much faith in him, After losing Emil and Doyley in the winter, The club needed riders to step up and Danny has done that and more. Musielak is a No.1 in this league, Fans think he underperforms when having the No.1 on his back but his performances as a No.1 are due to the Clubs he raced for, Get Tobi at a professionally run Club like Ipswich or Sheffield and he'll fill his boots 9 times out of 10.

Be a crime if Tobi Musielak isn't back in 2027.

Barely anyone cares about tin pot derbies.

Maybe they're waiting until next season for a stronger League featuring more teams as part of a British Speedway reset?

British Speedway has to be on ITV or Sky Sports imo. Premier Sports just doesn't have the numbers to grow the Sport and I can't see people signing up to TNT Sports just for Speedway tbh, BSN is great for die hards but that's not going to get new fans on board either imo. Pretty much everyone will have Sky Sports if they're a Sports fan as it's got everything you want so if British Speedway was going behind a subscription service then Sky is the best option as it's the most likely platform to get new fans on board but that boat has sailed unfortunately. Only other way I see the Sport growing is ITV4 because it's free to air, So let's see what happens next season.

Tobi would be the first name on the team sheet if I was in charge for sure. Just looking at his GSA though (7.92) I'm not sure if Mayfield can fit him in with a No.1 and Woryna tbh.

Think we'll only bring King and Brennan back tbh. Want Musielak but his GSA is currently over half a point higher than King's plus Danny gets the British Reduction as well which would free up almost an extra point for a stronger No.6.

If Belle Vue don't win then it'll be a bigger choke than Arsenal's collapse to PSG in last years UCL Final. Only way Belle Vue lose is if they have a howler around Sheffield because King's Lynn are just meh and Ipswich/Leicester can't ride the NSS for toffee to a point where they'd have to win the Home Leg by almost 30 Points to stand a chance of beating the Aces.

Sorting out the reserves is going to be just as important as the No.1 position in regards to 2027. Think it's fair to say that Kevin Juhl Pedersen rode above his level on his debut guest appearence around Northampton that ultimately pulled the wool over everyone's eyes from the fans to the management.

Not stropping BB, I'm just a realest. I'm not invested at all about finishing 4th because it means an away trip to our worst away track statistically that'll just result in us getting battered anyway. Lawson and Nicholls simply can't ride the place for toffee and that's our No.1 & 2 pairing, That's 15-3 to Belle Vue before we even move on to the other 12 Heats.

You're welcome to it lol.

Not annoyed, I honestly don't care about finishing 4th as we'd only lose the Home and Away tie to Belle Vue in the Play-Offs anyway.

Nobody remembers who finished 4th or 5th in any Sport whether it's a Team or Individual basis.

Couldn't care less about the result because the play-offs are irrelevant to me as we've proven all season that we can't compete over two legs against Belle Vue, Leicester or Sheffield therefore it really doesn't matter if we finish 4th or not. All about 2027 for me, Musielak has to be retained and if he's not then a serious question needs to be asked straight away imo because his heat wins have kept some of our home results somewhat respectable. Reserves need looking at because we've made bang average riders like Kemp and Zischke look far too good around Foxhall this season.

Can't have Woryna as No.1 so you'd think it's a 50/50 call between King and Musielak as to who fills the 3rd Heat Leader spot. King crowd favourite and has been fantastic all season but he'll be on a average that he won't attain in a stronger League. Musielak on the other hand has proven that he's able to attain big averages in a stronger League when not riding as a No.1. For me Mayfield really should pencil these three in (Riding Order) and then build the rest of the side around them. 3. T. Musielak 4. T. Brennan 5. K. Woryna

I'm not sure that he's giving 100% for King's Lynn tbh. GSA sky rocketed last season so I think he's riding with his head a bit more this year to avoid a repeat situation in 2027.

Get the feeling a 15 Point Max is incoming as well.
