Beirao

Edinburgh and Redcar please note.

More likely that a Wednesday racenights simplifies things for racing in Poland.

Anyone know where this is likely to be found? Possibly need to trawl through programmes and find out the last year the mandatory notice was included in programmes, probably about 20 years ago.

And Ake Andersson , the consequential replacement for Charlie Monk.

It's not solid, it's a strong top five and a weak pair of reserves. It lacks a bit of balance. Will Flint and Thompson be a powerhouse pairing or will they stifle each other to some degree - scoring say 8 and 5+3. The reserves will be key to success or otherwise. While Perry didn't see too much action in 2024, Hodder was a virtual ever present for both Berwick and Belle Vue NDL so the more laps notion isn't a given. He was excellent when guesting for Tigers in their final meeting but his away form for Berwick saw him score just 9 points from 29 rides. Perry only scored one away point in 10 rides - beating Hodder at Berwick.

Will Hook be back or is he off elsewhere, Edinburgh perhaps?

Stewart Dickson?

Max James still to be signed by a Championship side but possibly joining his Leicester boss at Berwick?

Quote from CB in this week's Speedway Star "Success in sport is only measured in silverware. I totally get that and I'm a winner like the Facennas". Really? During his tenure we've never topped the league and only won the play offs once. Even then it was down to Nowak jumping ship and being replaced by Tarasenko. Not sure if the KO Cup win in 2016 was in Stewart Dickson's time.

Any recent examples of "getting better tactically" Remember he was lucky that Pijper was excluded in the play off semi against Oxford AND was unable to take part in the re-run which meant Complin needed to come out... And won us the meeting!

It's away from home that the reserves will struggle, having to take at least seven rides between them. Max Perry scored just one point in ten rides for Poole ... And it was by beating Freddy Hodder at Berwick! Is he going to be another Luke Chessell? We should have gone for a better balanced team rather than the top heavy top five.

Some riders who just retired too soon, a few possibly due to injuries https://classicspeedwaymemories.webador.co.uk/november-2024/retired-too-soon-part-3

Fifty years ago I got a Christmas card from Barry Briggs presumably because I'd bought one of his anoraks earlier in the year. I put it on display ever year but somehow it got lost. Is this the card I got or is it a more modern one. Anybody know? https://classicspeedwaymemories.webador.co.uk/december-2024
