Luke Muff and Paul Bowen in at Belle Vue.... https://www.bellevue-speedway.com/blog/latest-news-2/colts-almost-complete-with-bowen-and-muff-29

I just think it's to do with the power disparity, no? If they are equally-powered it's fine, but you wouldn't stick a 500cc in the same race as a 125cc for instance. Nothing against it otherwise.

It would have to be a bigger electric motor. Think of it as motor=engine and battery=fuel.....the bigger the motor, the more power......the bigger the battery, the longer it will go before needing to be recharged.

It’s news to me that you can pay on the gate. Last year if you tried to do that, you were directed to the website where you had to buy a ticket online like everybody else. That said, I believe you can pay on the gate (card only) for the greyhounds, so perhaps they’ve introduced that for 2023. Is that the case?

5.09 (with the reduction). He would fit. It would take Poole to 39.88.

You’ve wasted my time and the time of every poor person who has had to read through your messages.

It’s quite simple, do I need to explain it? Okay, here goes. Someone posted that Bewley will need to average 11.00 to beat Doyle in the averages this season. I responded showing Doyle’s average this year, and that there’s no way he will get close to 11.00. He only just got above 10.00 last year and this season will have increased competition, so how’s he going to put almost one point on his average? I never said he wouldn’t top the averages - which you seem to have presumed. Then you responded saying you didn’t see the point of my original message! Understand now?

So instead you responded to it, thus wasting everybody’s time. Could have just said it in the first place rather than trying to be clever about it.

I never once mentioned a decline. I was simply pointing out Doyle won’t get close to an 11.00 average.

Didn’t say he would. Just saying he won’t have to.

Very close between all three of them. Fricke (8.62), Kurtz (8.59), Holder (8.56)

Joe Thompson also captain of the Leicester Lion Cubs in the NDL. Confirmation here: http://leicesterspeedway.com/news.php?extend.32146.1

Doyle had an average of 10.15 (across all comps) last year. He'll be a year older, and face tougher opposition in 2023. No way he'll average close to 11.

Scott Nicholls definitely captain of Oxford in the Championship. Presume it's Jordan Jenkins in the NDL (he was last season), but haven't seen it confirmed anywhere.

Really happy for Hume. After the Championship Pairs at Oxford last year, he stayed behind after Glasgow went out. Went and thanked all the fans for making the trip, and stayed for autographs and photos with kids long after everybody else had gone home - all the time with a huge smile on his face. Genuinely nice guy

How did you take this in a negative light? While it does state the PZM 'can' block any rider on one of its licences, it pretty much says they wont. In fact it's got a quote from Piotr Szymanski, the GKSZ chairman, saying "As long as the regulations of individual countries allow these players to drive in other league competitions, we will also agree to this...I have nothing against them performing in Great Britain..."

I only ever saw him post the exact opposite on Twitter. Can't show it as his account his long gone, but there's this from Poland's TVP World's news feed, you can see the hashtags... Grigory Laguta on the other hand!

Exactly. And even closer as the crow flies, less than 25 miles I'd imagine.

It’s first come, first served. Only general admission tickets are now sold, so you can go anywhere.

Capacity was expanded to 3,500 in August, so should be a good crowd.

Jacob Fellows is the final signing... https://oxfordspeedway.club/2023/01/british-youngster-fellows-completes-chargers-squad/

No doubt Poole have a strong rest of the side, but the third heat leader is the only real doubt in my opinion. Every team will be weak in some area, though, due to the lower points limit, it just depends which area ends up proving to be the most costly.

So, most teams are starting to take shape. Who do we think is going to win, who will make the final and who will also challenge? I'll start. Oxford to win (not biased, honest), Workington runners-up, with Leicester and Mildenhall third and fourth. Berwick to finish bottom.

Absolutely. Think Ben Cook is probably the second weakest third heat leader in the league after James Wright.

Sure, a part of it is definitely envy. Who wouldn't want to win the trophies that Poole have over the last 20 years or so? But a big part of it is also the way the club and the fans conduct themselves. There are plenty of examples of successful teams in sports that weren't universally hated because they (and their fans) acted with respect. (I'm not saying every Poole fan is like this, there are some good eggs on here - you know who you are)
