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.

Can you tell me where you've seen this please, Kent not running? And haven't Workington moved up to the Championship? -

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. -

I'd agree with that. In his first exclusion he fell trying to go around Nathan Ablitt and in the second one he lined up Tom Woolley, in much the same way that Connor Bailey did to Dan Thompson on the under 21 final, but on this occasion he appeared to catch Tom's leg on his way through causing Tom to fall. He was always on the pace other than heat 13 where he was outgated and couldn't get past Ben Morley despite trying for all four laps.

Ipswich v Wolves July 6th
Come on the Skipper replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I enjoyed my first visit to Foxhall for around 40 years! I'm currently on holiday on the Broads and decided to visit Ipswich rather than Kings Lynn as the match looked more attractive for a neutral. I had no trouble getting there, nor parking. Getting in was a little slow but no complaints there. The stadium itself is pretty impressive, with the big grandstands on the back straight, and having bought some food me and my son found a seat in the grandstand. The view was really good, although my own preference is to be a bit closer to the action. The racing wasn't bad at all, although as mentioned on the updates Wolves did seem to get some flyers. As expected, when the Witches have Jason and Emil as their top two heats 13 and 15 will always favour them. A couple of things I noticed, the music wasn't very modern, although I didn't mind that, and there also seemed to be a lot of children around where we were sitting. Hopefully the latter is a good sign for Ipswich. The meeting was done and dusted in just over 90 minutes, from tapes up to the end of heat 15, including the interval so well done to all for that. I had no trouble getting out afterwards and but for the A140 being closed would have been back in Wroxham by 10.45. Taking everything into consideration, that was an enjoyable evening. -

Birmingham Brummies 2023
Come on the Skipper replied to *JJ's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I was on the back straight in line with the finish and I thought that Pearson had just pipped Morley. But at the end of the day it didn't really matter as Kent rammed home 4 5-1's in the last 4 heats. I'd agree with @Sings4Speedwaythat Pearson looked good as a first time visitor but there must be some reason why he's not able to produce that form in the Championship.
