Pretty sure Pawlicki would be under the ruling they bought in last year that made all GP riders that were no longer riding here at least 8.00 and therefore Vaculik cam in on an 8.00 average. 

If he isn't doing Sweden and Britain is on Monday and Thursday it could benefit him having 24 league matches plus a few extra between weekend commitments and would certainly be one of the most entertaining riders in the league.

Just because Ipswich have moved up, don't start thinking Rory won't be back as he clearly likes riding at Wolves and think he may choose Monmore over Foxhall if he is given the choice.

I think Rory would prefer to stay at wolves but I think his fall out with Chris Louis at foxhall at the rained off Glasgow meeting will seal his fate

There is also the fact that Rory and Buster have history which would likely sway things further to Wolves

But speedway is funny business....

Wolves the first SGBP club to announce 2019 season ticket prices - before even a single rider has been announced!

Unless of course there is to be an announcement this evening at the talk-in?!

The early bird offer means standard adult admission is equivalent to £16.00 for at least 15 meetings. Some will think that is still too high. I’m undecided.

Didn't get a season ticket last season after having one for the previous 2 years but I will consider going to a large number of meetings next season if we field a decent team including a rider like Pawlicki. 

Forget the season ticket though. With a reduced number of meetings, it's pretty poor value for money. Rather pick and choose.

Looks a bit steep for season tickets. Miss one through illness or something and you're out of pocket.

 

Two new faces with one being previous rider in the league which could be a few riders but some already thinking it may be Becker and Pawlicki.

You can all but put Howarth and Thorssell in. Add Masters Becker and Pawlicki and leaves 10.08 for last two. 

Masters 8.11

Howarth 5.06

Worrall 6.00 or Wells  5.77

Thorssell 7.25

Pawlicki  or Schlein 8.00

Becker 4.00

Morris 3.57 or JBA 3.94

Maybe that could be something like it. Decent top five and two reserves that can stay at reserve

PA mentioned a few changes to rules.If a rider falls at the back and excluded his team mate will no longer be penalised 15m in rerun.There will be a 4m perimeter on infield were rider can pull onto if has bike trouble and not be excluded.Only 1 mechanic allowed onto track at pit gate  when awaiting rerun of a race. All tracks to have 2min clock on centre green.No meetings agreed until April.

The new people's tournament will be run on the old 13 heat formula with heat 14 and 15 nominated home riders by supporters.Wolves in group with Belle Vue and Peterborough.

Going by CVS's comments last night this  team would fit with his thinking, 4 retained from this year,  2 fresh faces, one hasnt ridden uk before and one previous wolf returning

 

Sam Masters  8.11

Nick Morris     6.91

Piotr Pawlicki  7.22?

Kyle Howarth   5.06

Jacob Thorssell   7.25

Luke Becker      4.00?

Ashley Morris    3.57

Total = 42.12

The new rider to the UK could also be Mateusz Tonder or Joel Kling who were originally going to appear in the Olympique, but I think Becker is the most likely. If it was Kling or Tonder then Pawlicki wouldn't fit probably so the returning rider could be Ricky Wells

What about Oliver Berntzen not ridden here plus think rides under PK in Sweden.

Why would Pawlicki be on 8.00?

There is nothing announced so far that suggests that rule is still applicable for 2019. Also he acquired an average of I think 7.22 last time around.

Whatever the situation I guess he won't make any decision on where he might ride until he's fully recovered from his operation.

I agree, his last average of 7.32 should still be valid.

His 7.32 average from 2014 surely wont be valid. Wasn't aware of fitness issues.

If available, he should be first name on the Wolves team sheet.

Why not? The 2 Poles from Poole were signed on averages from the same time (not Woryna) so it would appear that it’s perfectly acceptable. Unless of course it’s another rule change.

There was no such rule making GP riders 8+ - it was like one of those urban myths

There was. What was Vaculik’s starting average for Leicester?

CVS pretty much said Howarth will be the first name on his team sheet on his average. Had a few injuries last year which in hindsight he should have probably rested a bit more. Can only see his average improving again next year

Indeed, if a rider already had a valid average then it was used. Adams just made up the gp 9.0 bollox as an excuse for not signing woofinden/pawlicki/lindgren, which was to say the least a bit daft. Only the most gullible fell for it anyway. 

I can't see any significant change at wolves. I did wonder if CVS was going to abandon Redcar to spend more in wolves but that doesn't appear to be the case.

I'll be surprised if there's any money available so, like last season, I expect that only another team ravaged by injuries will save wolves from finishing bottom.

But, and its a big but, there's no excuses for woofinden not coming back which will be brilliant for British speedway and could well save wolves again.

 

Tai won't be back next year, he is desperate to win back to back world championships. I really don't blame him for that. Freddy has also been asked if he's available next year but has said he won't be riding in the UK next year
