Great thread. BWitcher being a sore loser - and then denying being a sore loser. PS Wolves '93 are one of the most unfortunate teams in terms of missing out on a league title. I would also suggest Belle Vue '78 and Harringay '53.

Limited to riders I've seen and with the clarification that's it favourites rather than best: Hans Nielsen Jens Rasmussen Jan Staechmann Charlie Gjedde Niels-Kristian Iversen Erik Gundersen Jan O Pedersen Brian Andersen Per Sorensen Thomas Jorgensen I never saw Arne Pander ride, while Ole Olsen wouldn't be included in my favourite 1000 Danish riders - he was a complete git to Hans Nielsen!

Yes, he's a nice chap and a great photographer.

Steve, I reckon a lot of it is cosmetic. The track needs a few grasstrack bikes going around on it to rip up the weeds, and the terracing could be sorted by a gang of fans. The only areas where a lot of cash might be required are the complex interior (which would be preferable, but not essential, in terms of speedway) and the speedway pits, which are a bit dilapidated.

Top-flight titles for Pirates: 1969, 1994, 2003, 2004, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2018. Starman, would like you to borrow that abacus, so that you can count up to 10?

I somehow doubt he'll post on here again, even after his release.

No, because he rode for Sheffield in 2018, on an average of 5.20. That will remain the same. That's how it works.

Nearly unique then The point is, that if a rider competes in a league, and doesn't do enough meetings to gain an average in that league, then he retains that average, even if the conversion factor changes.

Don't be daft - he rode for Sheffield last season on a 5.20, so will retain that average. Likewise, he will retain his 4.00 with King's Lynn. I think it's probably unique for a new rider to compete for two different teams, and not do enough meetings with either to gain a new average.

In a word - yes.

Last year, it was only top 3. 3 x 4 qualifies plus 4 wildcards in the GP Challenge.

Glad to hear. A club with the heritage of Eastbourne would be a welcome addition to the Championship.

Just remember team building is like a jigsaw. At one point, Scunny may have only been able to fit in a certain rider. Then another rider may change. Rob G knew all along which riders were entitled to the 2.5% discount. Personally, I'm quite happy that we ended up with Jason Garrity. Steve Worrall's rolling average may be higher, but going on just last year's performances alone, then Garrity was the more accomplished performer.

Scunthorpe are Fridays at 7.30pm

Spot on.

It will be in both the Speedway Star and Scunthorpe Telegraph first thing in the morning. And then the Scunny website will be updated as well.

Two more riders to be announced tonight, at around 9pm.

I will miss coming and sitting with you guys on the back straight.

Drew Kemp.

Josh Auty – upped his game to become one of the best riders in the league this year. All the other riders listed have had good seasons, but pretty much stayed where they were.
