Hope so, it'll be nice to possibly see a decent line up at Sheffield

Nothing shown in the Sheffield fixture list

The Sheffield/Poole tie is shown as TBC on the Sheffield website... I wonder if the reality of arranging this tie is sinking in?

You've left Robert Lambert out. I'd probably have Charles Wright ahead of King and/or Ellis. And I think Harris has retired from Team GB. 6 man teams, 18 heats, none of this 15 heat nonsense.

Thanks, my bad

I wonder who even suggested it and if they even thought about the difficulties in Poole assembling a credible team to compete 🤷‍♂️

Not sure why you'd allow those 3 and no others... Poole already meeting Sheffield in their first match so that rules Rowe out... or does it? It should. Whatever happens it's certainly going to take up some space on here! Let's face it, Poole shouldn't really be competing in the competition.

Surely the least you'd expect would be to "sign" a team of 7 riders that could potentially see them through to a final rather than a league select in every match.

How is it working? I haven't heard anything official.

Lawson, Cook & Thompson (D) cup tied surely?

Hope so 🤞 It didn't really seem a setup thing, he was just slow dropping the clutch.

Watched the speedway from Aus this morning, Sam Hagon was terrible from the starts, I can only hope he was still jet lagged as he seemed to be gating in a different time zone! His starts will need to be on point if he wants to score any points around Leicester next year.

Good to see that Aussie Speedway is even more farcical than British Speedway... after a big delay before the start of the meeting to get the outside of the tapes working, they've stopped working again midway through the meeting and have just decided to go with one side of the tapes only working lol, just when you think you've seen it all... 😂🤣😂

2 previous appearances from Killer at Berwick in 2010, scored 3 on his first visit, 9 on his second. He was a real prospect back then with an all action style. Progressed into the GP's where he seemed to inexplicably fall off a lot whenever other riders got near him. Then seemed to disappear from the scene internationally... has he been any good in recent years? On the face of it you think wow an ex-GP rider in the CL, there must be question marks over him after recent returnees to British Speedway and their struggles, I hope it works out for him, Berwick & Oxford.

I haven't got time to list them all individually, but any unattached rider on these lists: https://www.scbgb.co.uk/risingstars

You're not wrong there!

I would say any young British rider should be chosen ahead of a 30 year old Australian on a 2 point average

To be fair I did see him ride once on BSN last year and said at the time (on here) that it did appear he'd come on a bundle since the year before when he was a danger to himself and others on the track... still tracking a 30 year old Aussie in a CL reserve berth when there are young British riders of similar (and better) ability doesn't sit that well with me.

He's doubling with Edinburgh then? As far as I'm aware they're still to announce their 6 and 7. 3 rides for the Monarchs at Armadale last season... nil points

My fear is he'll end up at Leicester as Berwick appear to be Leicester Lite

NDL 🤔😂 So good Edinburgh elected not to have him in their team.

That's because you don't need any motorbike skills to ride Worky 🪖

That's me 👮‍♂️🚓 This topic should be for slagging the 2025 Leicester team off 🦁 Merry Christmas 🎅🏿
