Anybody who missed it.

I nearly choked on my dinner......... excellent stuff.

1. Ipswich Witches 2. Oxford Spires 3.Sheffield Tigers 4. King's Lynn Stars 5. Belle Vue Aces 6. Leicester Lions 7. Birmingham Brummies

I hoped for speedways and Birmingham's sake that the Brummies could have a succesful year but 2.59 under the points limit........ not good.

Brandon Estates won't want to keep bringing back a tweaked application, they will need to add some significant facilities to outweigh the loss of the stadium this will eat into their profit margin. They could bank the land for 10-15 years and hope opposition has disappeared or they could cut their losses and sell up.

Excellent news, well done to all involved. The fight goes on.

How long before there is a mysterious fire in the grandstand?

Redcar look good on paper, problem is 3 of their riders are coming back from nasty injuries.

Gilkes surely won't ride for a Saturday club if he has signed in Poland.

I am pleased with the team, Howarth is decent round the EWR and will do a job at number 1, as long as people don't compare him to Douglas. Top 5 looks solid but I don't see huge potential for improvement, whether Scunny can challenge for silverware will depend on how well the reserves progress.

Surely the rounding up comes after 2.5% is deducted, i.e round up 2.925 so it will be 2.93. Gilkes and MPT next week.

'would be very happy to open talks over the ownership at an appropriate time' Chapman has been adamant that speedway is finished at showground but he is happy for the enthusiastic consortium to put the work in to try and save it. If they are successful, Chapman can get a load more money for the sale of the club. The complete lack of effort by Chapman to save the club himself and then says things like 'All we want is for the club to return to racing', is shameful.

Anyone know where Thomas Jorgensen is having his testimonial?

I think your right, I can't see Gilkes wanting to ride for Workington or Berwick as he has a polish team.

I can't see Jake's average climbing that much, he has been at about the same level for a few years now.

This seems like a random draw.....whats going on?

Josh Auty?

Looks like its going to be... 1 Kyle Howarth 2.Connor.Mountain 3.Simon Lambet 4.Jake Allen 5.Thomas Jorgensen 6.Nathen Abblit 7.Luke Harrison

Any idea when the fixtures are out? I thought they are usually out about this time.

Did he fully get over his brain injury?

Any idea when the verdict will be made?

I didn't see any new rules from the AGM to prevent riders of Tarasenko's ability entering the Championship on a 5 point average.

I think Paul Starke is worth a go on a 4.00 average. He had bad season last year but his average is based on him riding in the main body on a track he didn't seem to get on with. Every year previously he has been a dependable 5 or 6 point second string, is he really in decline at 33 years of age?

I think Scunny might be going a bit top heavy this year......... S.worral 7.84 k.Howarth 7.76 J.Allen 7.16 S.Lambet 5.87 Z. Kennedy 4.27 N.Ablett 2.93 L.Harrison 2.00 total 37.83

Where is it going? bend 3/4.
