completely agree feels like the time is right for them both to put their time into other things and riding better riders more often

everything is speculation until its announced is it not

kvech? would be astonished if he didnt improve on his starting figure if those seven are the team im more than happy for the doubting thomases to write us off much rather that than be highly fancied

depends on your definition of 'technical' if its how difficult it is for riders (esp away ones) to get the set up right and ride the correct lines then id say bv is technical in that respect its generally not a particularly easy track for away riders to score points on because there are so many lines

once again not a case of 'letting riders go' as they will take up the offer they choose as self employed tradesmen that said i agree that lawson is highly likely to stay at leics due to being settled and the commute

poole are interested in anyone on the right average ie one which can be added to

i think rumour is the key word there these same rumours about harris lawson and cook were around this time last year and none of them ended up at lynn so until they are announced i remain sceptical

absolutely agree with the tight and or narrow ones, its no coincidence that the wider & faster sweeping tracks such as bv worky redcar scunny and glasgow provide the best speedway nowadays

not sure there would be any 'letting' involved if magic ends up at lynn or elsewhere itll be because he has chosen them over oxford for whatever reason same as rowe going to sheff as i suspect lynn would have preferred to keep him

self interest as ever in speedway

would he fit? cant see him leaving ox but you never know

i think most of those who moan about it would be folk who dont actually go people who do and saw how well we finished the season against some top sides will be pleased

could clean up in 2, 8, 12 and 14 tho

i think it would have every chance IF we can keep a settled team for the whole season or at least the vast majority of it as its absolutely rock solid the mooted side would be very powerful at home competitive away and always have a very strong reserve BUT needs to avoid the unavailability issues which has dogged the club over the last few seasons

away average scores sheff 43.75 leics 43.42 ippo 42.42 bv & ox 40.58 lynn 39.08 brum 39.00 home/away diff: bv 10.75 lynn 8.25 sheff 7.83 leics 6.91 ox 6.71 ippo 5.58 brum 4.58

to be fair my calculations were regular fixtures only so play offs would reduce leics & sheff and increase bv the ippo point is a good one another angle on the home advantage thing is the difference between home and away average scores might look into that when i get 5 mins

back of a fag packet calculations of average home scores by team in 2024 sheff 51.58 bv 51.33 leicester 50.33 ippo 48.00 lynn 47.33 ox 46.75 brum 43.58 doesnt tell the the whole story but a good guide nevertheless

every track has some home advantage id argue BV has the most

berwick?

not at all those two clubs have the biggest sponsor, simple as that. a sponsor that my club had in 2017 but were unable to keep hold of let's not forget there is certainly no envy from me you will always have the richer and poorer clubs, thats sport but the best riders will go to those clubs, thats just the way it is

and one he lives five minutes from and can practice on almost 24/7 might do him good

reserve pairing?

i suspect its no coincidence that they are the two heavily sponsored clubs with the most financial clout im happy with boughen though his potential ceiling is higher than any of the others if it can be fulfilled

you carry on being a miserable sod as ever, meanwhile the people who actually go to lynn will carry on enjoying their nights out and be happy about life 👍

rowe has gone elsewhere s lambert would only work with a big scoring number one and we wont be getting one of those. itll be a solid team with a far better rider than simon at 6
