Max Perry had massive crash tonight at Oxford tonight

Just copied this from the Leicester page.
Let's hope Max recovers quickly. - 

Just to update. Max is in a bad way. He is talking. Broken wrist, broken fingers, suspected broken ribs, knee, ankle, leg. Off to John Radcliffe he is On Morphine and IV pain relief. 
update From Max's Mum.

That's not good. Fingers crossed he recovers well from it.

That accident for young Perry sounds horrific,like someone else has said there running finals now in worse conditions than earlier in the season when they called meetings off not good enough speedway authorities.and now a young lad has injuries which if are as bad as being reported will certainly mean he will miss a lot of next year never mind what state his mind will be in, this is no time to gloat or laugh but as most Poole fans had him in there team next year I guess a rethink is in order. but most importantly get well soon max perry and fingers crossed it’s not as bad as first feared.

Didn't see the match but general chat from the updates page track was destined to catch someone out. With greatest respect it's bad enough running champ level meetings in these conditions, but at Ndl level it's insane. Had 4 riders coming to grief "practicing" at Leicester and now max very well may have life changing injuries. Appalling state of affairs.

Best wishes Max, get well soon

Sounds nasty. Best of luck to the lad on a speedy recovery.

Reading the reports from Max parents, broken ankle and broken wrist with bruising to the lung. Hospital operating on both broken bones today and keeping him in for a few days. Whilst worrying times for his parents, the injuries are nowhere near as serious to miss next season. A broken wrist is 6 weeks, broken ankle a bit longer and further time to strengthen. A young lad will heal faster than someone older. Expect Max to be fit and ready to go come March.

Some horrendous injuries, scary reports of a suspected stroke, thankfully ruled out. 

Speedway takes a back seat on those ones, back to full health is all that matters before even thinking of throwing a leg over a bike again.

Hate the musical chairs this time of year. Fans favourites moved on, simply because of a points limit which next season is overly harsh. Good luck to Kyle and hopefully he will be back in Pirates colours in the future.

Interesting comments on both main POL Speedway websites today.

Seems from next season in all 3 POL Leagues the 2 reserve positions have to be filled by POL Juniors only and not foreign riders.

Believe there was flexibility on this in at least Lge 2 in previous seasons which meant top teams like Leszno could loan their young Aussies/Danes to get experience at reserve. Seems that window has closed.

Could that maybe sway some young Aussies to consider UK more if they cannot double up U24 POL Lge with another POL LGE ??. The Aussies also cannot ride in the POL jnr League as all riders have to be POL.

Assume they could be nominated into a main team in LGE 1/2 but that would pitch these youngsters against much more experienced rivals. I'm sure most won't want to risk throwing riders of this grade into main slots so early.

Was thinking about the likes of Zischke/West/Bowes/Cluff/Brown who all rode POL U24 last season.

I mentioned that a while back when they were only talking Div 2!! Now it's all 3 Polish leagues it may.not be just young Aussies it affects

Only mentioned Aussies due to our obvious connection with them over our history plus with the 38 point rule for 2024. Of course it covers all foreign riders.

It's interesting because Leszno took this route with Rew in  2022 where he rode Leszno U24 plus 7 matches for Krosno in Lge 1 as a reserve. A rider like Tate Zischke and all other young foreigners mow won't be able to ride at reserve in all 3 leagues. Does that open the door maybe to allow some of them to try Champ even with Sat and the odd Sunday as it would not clash with POL matches if they are not in the teams. Of course if they were signed as one of the 1-5 riders then that changes things. Can't se that happening with most of the younger riders at this stage.

Of course for Poole there is still the Wed race night against the POL U24 Tuesday's, but riders like Zack Cook did it in 2022 and other young riders in Champ also doubled up with UK.

Only mentioned it due to both POL speedway sites highlighting the new rule today, and the fact it maybe makes the Champ potential 30 match or so season look more attractive.

One of the best riders at Armadale this season. Great team man loses his team position because of a stupid points limit that no fan is in favour of.

Sometimes it feels like turn up, pay your money , and be quiet.
