Roger Jacobs Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Too many posts to check back on who is or isn't available, but are there actual suggestions for the final three? These guys rode in 2021, and would fit average-wise: Adam Ellis Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen Sam Jensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Gappmaier has to be a dead cert....? One of them will be a foreign big hitter who probably hasn't rode over here for a while/never before? Can't think of the third rider, but he will have to have an average higher than Morris/Nielsen. (4.52) may be Keleher 4.87 ? Not sure if I've got the averages right ? Edited February 9, 2022 by GiveusaB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljriley90 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Poles with no other country commitments Damien drozdz Artur Mroczka Kacper Gomolski Dawid Lampart Danny Gappmeier and Josh Bates look likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Keleher would be 4.72 His twitter bio states hes still looking for a uk club for this year - would be a logical fit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.D Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 4 hours ago, uk_martin said: So you start the process with minus 3 riders...add a team in the way of Oxford, that needs another 7 riders, and all of a sudden, to make up the league's quota or riders, you are on minus 10. Give everyone else a 2-3 month head start and then surprise surprise, there's nobody left that you can mop up in the final weeks before the season starts. This goes to back up what I've said before, there is a very limited pool of riders. Hardly enough to go around now, as it is, and with people talking about how great it would be to see Eastbourne, Swindon, Coventry, Bradford etc return, you have to ask, where the riders to fill all those extra team places will come from. This is a major problem and one of the reasons Eastbourne are taking a year out with having to join the league so late and with no rider assets. The only way round this I feel is to make just 2 leagues next season with a few of the Championship clubs moving up to the top league and a few of the third tier teams moving up to the Championship. A watered down championship with some form of control over top end strength at that level. But, and it's a big but, will fans and clubs want this? Also the riders won't want this as this will limit doubling up and they won't want that as earnings will drop for them making it unfeasible for them to ride financially. Its a very difficult situation we have for the next few years but one that needs to be addressed if we are to move forward in the UK 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technik Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think speedway lost it's way completly when the TV got involved. We used to get a parade at 7:15 & the first race at 7:30 now your lucky to see a race before 7:50 at some tracks. Following this will be a 10 minute grading sessions & an interval after Ht 10 for another 20 minutes then a 10 minute wait to decide who will race in Ht 15. We need to get back to running the slick show that made Speedway popular & throw the TV handbook in the bin. Four blokes going sideways around an oval how can that be complicated. If it's done properly speedway is the most exciting motor cycle sport ever & it's ideal for TV. But unfortunetly they slowed it down & what we used to see in 90 minutes now takes two & a half hours at some tracks 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that he's not been 'snapped up' anywhere else?? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
