Manifesto

The rumours mill on here is crazy. Way they’ve worded it i’m guessing it will be thanking Howarth for 10 years of service and wishing him well for next season. Not saying Jack Holder will 100% be in our team or league 2025 but he lives with his brother and the Cooks in Dorset and I imagine that must be a huge benefit to them all been other side of the world from home. He may need to sort a new mechanic which could be a problem but fairly confident all contracts are signed with the Holders for 25

I’d say Sheffield probably get the best home crowds in the league second only to BV. But as a club we are lucky to have a few people at the top putting good money towards riders and the club in general

Opinions vary but I’d say BV is the fairest track in the league, good engine needed and away you go

I think Ipswich have the most home advantage in the league the small track is very tricky for most away riders, Sheffield is intimidating for some but I’d say the rest of the prem tracks carry no home advantage

Emil is better than Jack, Tai and Doyle both good home and away coming back from injuries.. Chris better than Brennan and Picko is better than Ellis by some distance.. in my opinion. Rew like Rowe does well at reserve both have potential to step it up. Dan T is far the best young Brit from both teams. Gilkes and Flint need to find some consistency in the premiership. Jenkins will probably be a big asset to the witches in heats 2 and 8

I don’t think the Holders would say something like that they’d both still be living in Dorset together. IF the rumoured 7 is correct, I think the management and Steady have recognised the risk but also the reward of having the strongest top 4 in the league. Huge pressure on the 3 young Brit’s but one of them if not 2 will need to step up and support them

Flint never been great around owlerton but think he will be better than Edwards come mid season. Have every faith Rowe would be an improvement on Howarth too

Brum - Flint BV - Mulford Ippo - Jenkins KL - Edwards Oxford - Boughen Leic - Hagon Sheff - Gilkes

Agreed Bewley won’t leave BV. Musielak would be a great shout

Who’s had no contact then? The AGM meeting hasn’t took place yet and people probably on holidays post season

Great news to have a Brum ride in 2025 I will try and go to all of the away meetings. Pickering will be the Sheffield captain next year

He is worth the admission money alone at owlerton a true asset to British speedway. I want to see every prem team full of gp riders if possible

The Ipswich side was built similar to ours, the difference was D Thompson had a great season which pushed Rew down to reserve and the top 5 kept performing. Howarth was very poor for most parts of the season and had to stay at number 2, Anders Rowe been the only change would make us stronger. Gilkes and Edwards had they’re moments but didn’t improve much through the season but are still young riders, I’m not sure who else would be better picks at reserve

That’s sport sometimes, just about hitting form at the right time. Need to find some magic in a young reserve 2025

As poor as Edwards and Gilkes were, especially away. We managed to finish top of the league with many bonus points in the bag
