Like to think could maintain that. I suppose our days of taking these risks on Aussies and Danes are gone, just pick up the ones who look like will make the grade elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not always of equivalence what they do elsewhere where tracks are totally different. In a 42 point team you can risk an unknown quantity on a 5 but at 38 every point is a prisoner and needs put to good use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is typical GB speedway.You have to have a poor season drop your average in hope that you get aTeam Place somewhere the next season.It’s a joke. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowe being the prime example, with the rumoured reduction he could start as a third heat leader but he's no where near that in reality yet. Dropped by Poole and don't really see where else he will end up in the CL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fell off a few times. As said he'd be on a 5 point assessed average unless they change the rules. He will be too old for Polish u24 league next year so is looking for a team in UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty every year unfortunately. He's just an example from today. As teams start to get released it will be interesting to see how heavy some go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 I was surprised to read about Tigers already saying five riders won’t be back, the dust has barely settled on their title win so why bring the fans down by issuing this news so early? You have just won the league, let the fans enjoy it for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels better having quotes from riders etc on the official website imo..plus I think most fans knew most of side would be going anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
