I don't see a problem. It keeps a track open. Kent fans get a local team - the Kent Eagles - to watch. Eastbourne fans get an Eagles side to support, with the knowledge that this venture's end goal is to prove themselves before making a bid to bring speedway back to Eastbourne.

Ablitt's average is 5.04. So couldn't be in a team with Morley.

I know what it is supposed to say. But what it says is that silencers have to be at least 4 years old to be used. So anything newer than 2021 can't be used.

Interesting rule there from the SCB. It says "From the 2025 season it will be compulsory for all silencers (for 500cc and 250cc) to be dated a minimum of 4 years old." So any silencer more than 4 years old is OK? But you can't use a newer one that's not 4 years old or more? Or do they mean silencers can be a Maximum of 4 years old?

But the team is Harris, Howarth, Flint, D Thompson, Boughen, Perry, Hodder.

Subsequent events have proved I was right.

Weeks ago I said that the Ipswich plan was for King to move on. And everyone said I didn't know what I was talking about. Maybe people are starting to see that I did indeed have the correct information at that time. Something clearly happened with the Rew situation, and Ipswich just went back to King instead. Did he just ask for more money, and Ipswich said no? Did he not want a Thursday race night and prefer Mondays at Brum? Is he giving Britain a miss altogether? Any of these could be possible. The only theory being put around that I find hard to believe is that Birmingham offered him more money to move away from Ipswich? Why would they do that? With Brennan going to Ipswich, it meant that either King, Ellis or Rew would have to go. If I were Birmingham, I would be looking to pick up whichever of those three was surplus, without the need to offer big money. In fact with little prospect of a place elsewhere, I'd be looking to get one of them on a cut-price deal.

Don't know. Have you?

They don't have any spots to fill

Are 8 man teams allowed?

Boughen is definitely at Glasgow.

No. He's a bit more than that. He owns the club!

I expected Oxford to be headed up by Musielak, Tungate, Janowski. But it's now sounding like Birmingham are going to get Musielak. As others have said, Birmingham have also been talking to Thorssell and Zagar. I'm led to believe Thorssell is very promising, although I'm sceptical about Zagar, even though I'm told they're still talking. But Musielak and Thorssell would be a decent top two for Birmingham to build around, and all 3 would be amazing. I'm now more wondering about Oxford. If they have Tungate and Janowski, they need another head leader, and I don't see where that will come from if not Musielak.

He seemed to think Brennan and Cook were in some way his assets, and he had first call on their services for 2025, and is upset that their actual parent clubs have arranged loan deals elsewhere. Think this is the book he was going by...

John Titman?

No, like I say, I wouldn't gamble. I only bet on certainties. At the time I shared the info, Rew was set to be in the Ipswich team and Danny King was needing to move. But until the AGM is finalised, things can change. Clearly something changed for Rew and Ipswich, handing Danny King a reprieve.

You're misreading his post. He's suggesting the BV No.4 of either Zach Cook/Keynan Rew being a match for Adam Ellis.

Gambling is a mug's game. Betting is OK if you're betting on a certainty. I wouldn't gamble on Ipswich winning the 2025 Premiership title, but I'd bet on the Earth not being flat, and on Kyle Howarth having signed for Leicester.

It isn't!

I expect you to eat every day. Regardless of whether you go to speedway or not. I know I eat every day. I don't only eat on days when I'm at a speedway meeting.

They're holding a social evening on 29 November. It wouldn't really make sense to announce the team before then.

I guess whether you want to spend money on the admission fee and the travel, comes down to how much you enjoy the sport, versus how much you just want to support a winning team. But I have to wonder why supporting King's Lynn requires you to eat £15 of extra food in a week.

So it's Adam Ellis who is heading off to Birmingham?

Wrong. Guarantees aren't uncommon. Some of the figures people make up and claim that No.1's get guaranteed are nonsense, but guarantees often happen at all levels. A youngster stepping in at reserve may even ask to be guaranteed 3 points.
