Were fortunate to have them come to the tapes again or otherwise our season would be even less meetings than it already is. Whats happened to A.Morris .has he retired????.

Berwick will struggle away and be reliant on Rory and Flint at home. Perm one of those 3 for the final play off spot. Depends on who final rider is and equally of we could slot in one of the currently unused riders like Bailey or Kemp at some point after first Green Sheets allowing scope.

Just making the numbers up is very important in the modern era given so few "numbers" now exist... You are never winning leagues on crowds of less than 500 or so, so it is simply not worth threatening the clubs' long term future by spending "daft money" doing so.. The sport has seen several "winners" close down due to the costs involved in "winning" being much too far a stretch for them.. The way Speedway has been poorly ran for several decades it is now very much down to its "die hards", so the feeling will be that they will turn up to watch anything put in front of them, (as they have become 'bomb proof' to anything but watching the racing), therefore any track with such a low following are 100% correct in cutting their cloth accordingly.. "Success" wont bring crowds up by 100% to around/over 1000, so putting a team together to win most weeks at home (or at least always in contention to make it entertaining), will be the right plan.. Good luck to them... Edited January 14, 2023 by mikebv 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Lawson and Zach Cook from the Plymouth days, which other Poole riders did he sponsor? Are they still sponsoring at Plymouth?

It hasn’t been ‘ announced ‘ but the rider was approached for a championship team place and he said he wasn't really interested anymore , so I take that to mean he’s packed in, retired……for now.

You are assuming I support birmingham. Like yourself, I didn't miss a meeting at monmore last season but I don't support Wolverhampton, I support speedway , not every team will be strong. Without those at the bottom you won't have anyone at the top. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
