  1. Almost certainly yes. There are very few 17 year olds ready for the PL. You only have to look at the Edinburgh thread where there is much discussion over Lasse Fredriksen.
  2. Yes he was part of Buxton's title winning team (along with Charles Wright, Jason Garrity and Craig Cook)
  3. Work permits are dependent on top five placing in American Championship. Gino was third but Fox only rode in one round
  4. And how many teams had a better number one that Max Fricke last year? Just Swindon.
  5. Hugh Skidmore Krzystof Wankowski
  6. I have 3/9 prog - also filled in with 'Nott'm did not arrive'. Meeting was rescheduled as part of 15 Oct meeting (v Halifax) - - but this one was fogged off after the main match. The next attempt was on 21 Oct following Racers v Swindon. My prog doesn't have 2nd half filled in, but given the 13-3 score it probably went ahead that day. Line-ups per prog: Rivets:Monk, Allaway, Campbell Outlaws: Colin Archer, Rick Jones, Mike Fitzpatrick
  7. 18.6.1 in 2019 regulations. So if it has gone does this not contradict the AGM statement about no tinkering?
  8. I really don't think that is what you meant to say
  9. 16.2.6 Any rider who has been or is eligible to compete in the NDL (and has not represented another FMN, other than the ACU) will receive a 2.5% reduction on their MA. Wethers rode in the NL (CL as it was then) for Armadale in 2003-4
  10. Unlikely - he retired two years ago.
  11. So if Newcastle don't run do the Southern teams get two more matches than the Northern ones in the Championship?
  12. You'll explode when I tell you about the 2019 Danish play-offs then. 6 teams in the league, and top 6 go thru to play-offs. Which Fjelsted, 5th in the regular season, won!
  13. Something I have long advocated. Would require some special rules for clubs joining leagues, but those are not insurmountable.
  14. Re Aussie's it is also worth noting the trend to start their European careers in Denmark now. Kye Thomson, Liam May Josh Coyne and Brayden McGuiness all made Danish League 1 appearances in 2019.
  15. That would mean Rowe, Kemp, Kinsley, Edwards, Flint, Bickley, and Brennan riding in these positions.
  16. Unlikely. The Danish League is becoming virtually entirely Danish. The match I attended this year was contested between two all Danish teams. The only foreign riders to appear regularly in the DSL were Jaimon Lidsey, Kevin Wolbert and Luke Becker.
  17. Wolves were already the track within the quickest journey time from Swindon.. ..by a whole minute (1 hr 48m vs 1hr 49m at the time of googling!)
  18. No reduction would be reasonable. Bjarne's 2019 Danish League form saw him recording a similar average to Klindt and Rasmus Jensen both of whom have GSAs over 7 in the Prem.
  19. I don't give a stuff about anything to do with football either Whereas I have followed Speedway for 50 years, travelled Europe and spent probably thousands of pounds watching (every) SGPs in person or on TV. So forgive me for having a different opinion.
  20. All sports have peculiarities when viewed from a distance. Consider the following scenarios in a football match: 1 Player 1 sent off after one minute. His team are penalised by playing a man down for 89 mins. 2 Player 2 sent off in 89th minute. His team are penalised by playing a man down for 1 minute. 3 Review panel retrospectively rescind red card of player 1. Player 1's team receive a penalty 89 times that of player 2 for the same offence and still receive that penalty in scenario 3 even though no offence has been committed. The quirk of GP scores is not worth getting hung up about.
  21. These riders all compete at Champion (Owego) along with the top three East Coast riders of recent years: Casey Donholt, Mikey Buman and Adam Mittl. Donholt would be ok in the Championship, and the other two NL heatleaders (Buman has ridden in the UK on a dream team tour). Hollenbeck and Portararo would probably be NL second strings. PS How did Dave Oakden get in the final?
