SteveLyric2 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Good to read in Danny's 'end of season' comments that attendances were up again! Obvious to see for those at every home meeting, but somehow not believed by others! Edited October 31, 2023 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Max Perry just going by his attendance at Poole for the last few meetings looks nailed on. From what i saw of Zischke at SoN2 in Latvia he'll need to calm down a bit or could have the issues that Killeen had with random falls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Taken from Darcy Ward interview in Speedway Star 2 years ago. One name to look out for (and learn how to spell) is Tate Zischke who has just turned 16 and shows a great deal of promise. The Poole promotion has already been tipped off about his potential and if all things continue to go to plan, he could be sighted there in 2022 or at the latest 2023. (Injury put paid to that) A farmer’s son from the village of Grandchester, west of Brisbane, Zischke is sponsored by Ivor Harm, who looked after Darcy from his junior days and remains heavily involved, especially with emerging talent. ‘He just reminds me of me at the same age,” says Darcy.

Think if we had a choice between Brennan and Rew I would choose Brennan for a couple of reasons. First of all he is British, so Championship comes before Sweden/Denmark/Poland. And we also get 2.5% average reduction which puts the jigsaw together. Brennan seems to have been around for a while now but he is still young and improving. Just needs to get more consistent. Rew certainly has great potential but his eyes seem more set on Poland than U.K. and that’s where his 100% will be given imo. Especially as he has been named as the U21 rider for extraleague club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are good, they'll reach their 5.00 assessed averages, if they are not so good, why sign them over Brits in the first place? One of the major issues that the sport has had is a self inflicted lack of focus on UK riders.. Due to "journey men, after journey men" being brought over via a revolving door.. "He didn't work, so bring the next one in and see if he is any better"... Both reserves and at least the lower ranked second string in Div 2 should be a UK rider...

Watch this space…. Nice one Steve. I touched on this interview when I was commenting on the forum when I was raving over him last Autumn/Winter before his post race accident that cost him over 6 months off due to having seizures. Such a silly incident in the meeting final where he crashed into Sedgeman after the finish line. I looked at lots of his races in State U21 - Aussie U21 and other races where he was way ahead of Hook/Pearson and all the other youngsters with a style that indeed reminded me of a young Darcy Ward. Leszno who had won 3 league titles in POL on the trot were so impressed they signed him for their U24 team and remember he was only 17 in late 22. (born in July) Tate has ridden in October 23 in a DW run Aussie meeting and believe he rode well but maybe fell in the final. My concern would be Leszno take the Rew route with him and give him a full POL U24 season and double him up with a POL Lge 2 team as they did with Rew in 2022. Last year Rew was loaned to a POL Lge 1 and this season is replacing Lidsey in first team who is 25, who also had a similar route but that was before the POL U24 Lge so was loaned to lower Lge for experience before going into Leszno team. The question is whether Tate is a 4 or a 5. Seems some divided on that point. What constitutes riding in POL/DK. Is it based on a minimum amount of meetings or based on certain Lge criteria in those Countries ?? For example Tate had a short riding holiday in DK in 2022 where he rode a few meetings for a DK 2nd Div side before going back to Aussie.That league is mainly made up of young DK riders gaining experience and a few DK journeyman. He was only 16.Not sure on how many meetings or points but think it was fairly minimal. In 2023 his medical exemption meant he could not race until July 2023 so missed the main part of the Leszno POL U24 season. Instead of getting the 16/18 meetings dependent upon reaching play offs he rode only 6 meetings - a mere 23 rides. Do the actual rules mean that you automatically get give 5 for riding in Europe or do you need a minimum number of meetings/rides to jump from the normal young Aussie 4 to a 5. I am sure Danny/Matt have checked this one out if Tate is in the plans/thinking. Of course the big money and potential future is POL and if Leszno who followed and supported this guys incredible potential may already have him lined up for a full U24 season (Tuesdays) and maybe a Sunday Lge 2 team loan out also for a season (another 14/18 meetings dependent upon play offs).

Knightime Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 With the decisions being made its obvious the club already know their 1-7. So PLEASE can we be spared the "excitement" of the slow reveal when its blatantly obvious who the names are because other clubs have already let their fans know.

Nothing will.be announced/confirmed until after the AGM next week, which may throw up some curveballs depending on all the issues they have to sort out eg league structure, number of teams, points limit etc and who supplies the biscuits at tea time.

GiveusaB Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I think TZ would've made his UK debut last season had he not took a serious tumble just prior ..... (head injury etc...) Going from reviews, he looks set to be the next best thing to come out of Oz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
