  1. Way to early to say, Tom Brennan will be the stand out rising star and Ippo look a fun team to watch..
  2. Tom Brennan is a great signing, he had a bad injury and of course last season was a non event so a couple of wasted years, but he can go far in the sport..
  3. Booked my ticket for the double header with Newcastle, catching up with a couple of friends who like myself, have not been for a few seasons. Sounds like interest is high at Eastie with a few guys coming out of the woodwork to attend agin..
  4. Difficult to predict at this stage as there are many factors, injuries, team changes and form to the end of the season. But for me, Eastbourne and Leicester are the two stand out teams at this stage.
  5. Crump would definitley put bums on seats (thats if we are aloowed this season) so all championship tracks would get a mini boost from this
  6. For what it's worth, I don't see any league racing this season in the UK either, so hypothetically the Eagles will line up as stated.
  7. Its more that if a mistake is made, the bike will launch forward and with a narrow track there is no room to recover, so your in the fence.. The NSS was designed for modern speedway, wide and fast unlike a lot of UK tracks built and designed to fit inside the stadia they had to work with..
  8. Its more the shape of them, most tracks are to small and narrow
  9. Don't we all and we all hope to see some racing, Eagles will line up as expected..
  10. If you look at a speedway rider as a basic buisness model it becomes simple with the needs. Look at it as a basic XYZ X Turnover Y Expense Z profit Rider needs to make a lot of X to pay Y in order to make Z Reduce Y and then X can be reduced so Z can still be achieved Reduce X then wages will be reduced and clubs can be sustainable with a wage bill they can afford. Reducing rider costs is a way forward in my mind.
  11. He was spot on, the way it could be done is to limit the RPM on engines to make them more suitable for uk tracks and thus limit service intervals for engines. Engines won't need to be tuned like they are with a rev limit, cutting costs to riders and the bikes will be suited far more to our unique tracks that we have built due to the stadia we have worked with. I think it would be worth looking at but it will go against what the rest of the world in speedway is going with so I very much doubt it will ever be considered.
  12. And how do you work that out may I ask?
  13. People may laugh but most tracks in the UK are not suited to the modern super tuned laydown engines..
  14. Yeah I was.. The new track looks a bit iffy with it being so close the the stand, its right on the outside of turns 3 & 4
  15. As I said, no predictions, but the Eagles do have a bit of history in league 2
  16. Just stand a policeman behind him at the starting gate, he will be gone like a shot...
  17. I think thats the most important part with Eastbourne, the word team A forward thinking promotion that has built a team on and off track that values its fan base and wants to improve that and communicates so well with the fans they feel valued by the club Way to early to make predictions but looking good, on and off track.
