Great signing, should put something on a 6 point average. What are the rules with Poles coming in on assessed averages? I thought it would be 7points.

Yes but when? Council might want houses ASAP but there is at least a few years left before construction will start.

I think the long term plan is to develop the stadium for housing. If they could make it pay at Perry Barr with Cradley NL, Birmingham champ, Wolverhampton Prem for the next 5 to 10 years while they try to develop an out of town motorsport venue for all 3 teams.

not heard anything but should be soon. I hope Poole refrain from stacking their fixtures in second half of season, Poole will likely progress in all 3 competions but a few rainoffs on the south coast could really hold up competitions for everyone.

Thomas Jorgensen 6.39?

Conspiracy theory, They kept Cardiff on the calendar because its good to attract sponsors, once the sponsors signed on the dotted line they switch Cardiff for Belle Vue. I understand the SON lost a lot of money, ok a GP will be more popular but I think in order for Discovery to make some money they needed to do 2 crowd pullers, it was always the plan in my opinion. I will put money on it being 2gps at belle vue in 2026 as well.

Well I can't say I am surprised, leaving Cardiff superficially on the calendar was probably to gain sponsorship, it was always their intention to cancel it.

Something definitely went wrong with Poole team building, not like Poole to come in 0.96 under the points limit. Probably won't matter if Cairns lives up to expectation/hype.

Is Declan as good as Zaine? How old is he?

I think that is the team 39.33, 0.67 under limit but decent team. I might have gone with MPT over Jake Allen. Where is Ryan Douglas have his testimonial?

what podcast was he on?

stupid way to end a pairs event, should have done 4320 points.

I know it hasn't been confirmed yet but is the points limit likely to be 38.

I would say so, history shows when speedway clubs have gone up and down the leagues there has been little change in crowd level. The star riders in the Premiership may have a very slight crowd draw, Emil, Tai or Bewley but I think there is more than a few teams that would be financially better off running at NL level. Also Birmingham might finally have a winning team.

I was talking about next years GP challenge qualification.

Don't the FIM allocate how many nominations/place go to each nation, give the places which would have gone to Russia (pre war) to Poland on the understanding they give them to Emil and Laguta. Discovery then agree with PZM not to show the Russian or Polish flag or play the national anthems for either rider.

Was the rule introduced after the invasion? It dosen't really make sence that the FIM are happy for the riders to ride under a Polish flag but not a neutral one.

I don't understand why they can't ride under a neutral flag, why do the rules prevent this? Why can't the FIM just change the rules?

Track prep is disgraceful, get some water on and rip the outside.

Money talks

I agree, there are a few tracks that would benefit from bringing in the kerb on both ends, banking the track from airbag to kerb

Mikkel Michelsen (Wildcard) Maciej Janowski (Wildcard) Leon Madsen (Wildcard) Jason Doyle (Wildcard) Thorrsell first reserve

feel for Thorsseell, Fricke was very lucky

Mulford should be excluded for that
