Agreed, 13.02 left according to an earlier post on this thread so if Lebedevs is 6:00 they do fall under the limit.

When did Wilson-Dean last ride? 5.27 for P'boro in 2019. Tungate 6.59 same season, same club.

He still thinks David Howe will one day be world champion.

I was a toddler when Penhall graced Dudley Wood, still the biggest hero of my childhood, one of our dogs is named Bruce. Cradley shut when I was at college, but my Dad had stopped going regularly before then so I couldn't go to Stoke the season we rode there. I didn't go to a speedway meeting for a long time after that, started going to Wolves occasionally in 2004, had a season ticket in 2005. Had a season ticket for Birmingham when they re-opened and until the season that was ruined by injuries - Roynon & Legault were a pleasure to watch but R/R & two guests every week put me off. Visited Brandon a few times each season when the Bee's were riding on a Friday night. Didn't go to speedway in the UK for a few years, Peter Karlsson's farewell being the only exception - only Wolves rider I have ever liked (although Becker is growing on me) and a couple of Poole meetings when on holiday in Bournemouth. Did a few GP's & Polish trips. When Brummies stepped back into the second tier went a few times the first season and had a 10 match season ticket the next year. This year I've got an Ace's season ticket, more because I have AL from work to burn, I love the NSS and living near an M6 junction north of West Mids means the travel time isn't too bad.

Lets be honest it was a stupid plan A once Bewley had signed for a Elitserien club, he'd have been daft to give up his spot at Wroclaw and Polish authorities were never likely to change their rules.

If he is Lebedevs then I think that unlikely as Latvia are in NATO.

He's been my favourite European rider to watch (outside the GP riders) for a few years, has ridden NSS well in SoN. Fingers crossed.

Ace's started 2021 with Wright at #5, which I'd consider "2nd heat leader". Sure Bewley surpassed him (& Kurtz) obviously, but Wright was "3rd heat leader" for the final 5 months of last season?

I'd be very surprised if any 2022 Ace is not involved in the Peter Craven meeting. So had assumed one of the final two would be NKI or Zagar, the latter being more likely as a former Ace. NKI was track record holder of the NSS during the first season the track opened but has had an awful lot of injuries since then. Lebedevs would be great, always good value entertainment wise. Was decent at SoN. Averaged 3.73 from 4 meetings in 2013 for Kings Lynn. Never been a GP rider, so what would his assessed average be? 6!00?

Maybe if I hadn't spent £400 on season tickets and been subjected to dust bowls every week I would.

Yes, but the other posted said they visited last year, think they were a Lions fan and if memory serves me correct (which it doesn't always) the Leicester visit was a dusty one.

Better than Kings Lynn, Wolves & Peterborough, that makes playoffs.

Latest? Didn't someone suggest that a month ago? What was the theory behind Bewley. Polish authorities change of heart or was he considering dropped Sweden?

You like clouds of dust?

Fricke was in a struggling team and likely had to take more heat 15's than Doyle (same team as Sayfutdinov, Kolodziej & Piotr Pawlicki).

Impossible to say until Ace's are complete, but I can't see them being a strong as Sheffield regardless. I like the look of Ipswich. Not sure on Kings Lynn, depends what Kildemand is like. Wolves & Peterborough are underwhelming, but hoping a year at Monmore does Kemp some good. Fricke to top the Premiership averages.

Why the objection to Sedgeman, he was decent at PB in Glasgow's win last year .. better than Wells 5.5 seems reasonable.

Hadn't realised that. 20.51 left if the pinned team building thread is to be believed, 7.66 (Ellis) & 5.55 (Sedgeman) would leave 7.3

I don't want any..... Rider X isn't doing Championship... blah, blah. And I can't be a***d to get spreadsheet out (Monday I would) If the Brummies signed two of Ellis/Ostergaard/Sedgeman what would remain for final rider?

FFS. Stay on topic I'll die at my desk!

darts is a dreadful spectator sport unless you're comatose. Average pint consumption per attendee at a Darts event was around 16.

Sadly that goes for an awful lot of modern day riders!

Really? Holder is pretty one dimensional. Fricke has qualified for GP's, won GP's, Holder hasn't.

So... sign a Pole who would miss every meeting at Redcar, Glasgow, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Berwick, Leicester & Scunthorpe?
