Scunthorpe 2024
Come on the Skipper replied to hackneyrocket's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I saw Luke ride twice last season at Kent. The first was before his injury when he was guesting for Mildenhall and the second after his injury when riding for the Comets. He rode very well in both, and scored 8 from 5 for Mildenhall, which included an exclusion after a coming together with Ben Morley as they crossed the finish line, he also beat Morley for third place in heat 15, that gave Mildenhall a 2 point win. He scored 7 from 5 in the Workington match, he had two lasts. One in heat 15 and the other in his first race where he fell and remounted. He's definitely got a bright future ahead of him. -

Have you got a link at all for this Goodwood case please? -
I only got back into live speedway when Kent moved to Iwade in 2022, prior to that I couldn't get to Sittingbourne due to the early start time. I am now faced with a shortest distance of 82 miles to get to the nearest track to me, Ipswich. I'm sure the M25 and A12 are lovely on a Monday/Thursday evening rush hour. So having been able to go to live speedway after quite a long break I find myself without any to watch in person. I do subscribe to BSN, and will do so again, but I'm sure that there are plenty of other people who find themselves in the same boat as me. Apologies to Mildenhall fans for hijacking your topic.

Your comment makes no sense. The reason you're not a Premier League footballer is because you don't have the skills to be one, no offence. The situation here is that professional riders who have exceeded the standard required are being prohibited from riding, and being paid for doing so. Whether riders at this level should be professional or not is a discussion for another time. It remains to be seen how this will pan out.

Will there be enough riders of sufficient quality to fill the 6 teams? An older more experienced pair of hands who has achieved an average of 4 or over in the championship would be beneficial to the less experienced riders, would they not? Sings has already identified 10 riders from this years teams who are no longer allowed to ride. I'm no legal expert but could prohibiting any rider who has achieved a 4 point championship average be a restraint of trade? As always, there are more questions than answers.

Come on the Skipper replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It's only an extra 4 miles each way for you, based on your location, to go to Iwade compared to going to Arlington. The Royals need all the support they can get, and they run on a Sunday lunchtime. -

It's also slap bang in the middle of the kids summer holidays, and we know what that does to prices. -
