    2023 = 10 wins in Red and 9 in Yellow 

    2022 = 5 wins in red - 9 in blue - 6 in white and 3 in yellow. 

    Zmarzlik won both !! 

     

    Think I will look at Doyle + Vaculik e/w.

    Birmingham's results are no surprise. Prior to the season starting most had said the team was the weakest and they were fortunate to have Nicholls as guest as the Premiership started. That certainly worked in their favour, as riders got up to speed at the start of the season. Unfortunately I can only see the situation getting worst at Perry Barr, it will be interesting on Monday to see how they get on in  the televised Eurosport meeting against the Aces strong top 4 - Kurtz, Lidsey, Bewley and Cook.

    SoN - Really in the balance for me. 

    We were planning to go to the SoN2 / Final (Fri + Sat) - 3 adults and a 14 year old. Hotel is £450 for the two days , SoN £380/£245 approx depending on whether standing or sitting. Not included return train from London and then of course food and drinks over the weekend. So for a weekend in Manchester,  all in probably looking at £1000+  

    I will see what the kids want to do BUT personally I would rather spend more and go to Torun for a SGP. 

    When I first saw the cost I don't think they will be needing the temp stand on bends 3/4

    The British Final 2024 will be on a Saturday night. 

    From the British Speedway website. 

     

    British Final will take place at Belle Vue’s National Speedway Stadium on Saturday, June 8.

    British Speedway is delighted to be able to confirm the prime summer date for the major event, with the move to a weekend evening staging likely to be warmly welcomed by supporters.

    Prior warning the ParkLife Festival is on in Manchester that weekend and the hotel prices are similar to Cardiff. 

     

    I wonder with a full season in British Speedway and with the event a month before the SoN whether Tai Woffinden will make a return.

    Glad Kemp has got a spot for '24. He seemed to mature a little last year at Scunthorpe and in his PL appearances hopefully he can continue on the upward curve. Interesting to read he was happy to miss Championship as he wanted to concentrate on Poland but then was talked round by Dickson.

    That could be a long season for the Gladiators with those 5 riders. Looks like a team of second strings at best - appreciate that Barker + Bowtell are able to put decent scores at home but that looks woefully short. Happy that the Thompson Twins have a Championship spot as they both seem to find themselves being the fall guys when changes are made.

    Plymouth fans at least you have got a speedway team.

    Think the Belle Vue side is pretty solid.

    Brady Kurtz, Dan Bewley give you the two out and out heatleaders.  Jaimon Lidsey has progressed season to season and offers a strong option at 3rd heatleader.

    Norick Blodorn has plenty of Premiership + NSS experience. Was impressed with the Connor Mountain on the occasion I saw him at the British Final. Connor Bailey is developing and will contribute at home at reserve and Ben Cook was excellent last season if he can continue his development the Aces will be competitive. Not as immediately impressive as the Sheffield Tigers but can see them being ultra competitive again.

     the series could do with a prime Nicki P in it now , thats for sure. 

    Could do with a prime Gollob / Rickardsson / Crump also. Nicki P was box office and was the reason he was so doted at Eastbourne Eagles. Out and out #1 was a hard rider and wanted to win. He probably saw the opportunity that the angry man bed persona could make him box office or more money. From experiences of my family bumping into him at Cardiff he seems a very open and polite imdividual - Polar opposite to his mantra once in kevlars.

    I don't get that but the numbers there don't lie

    Never had understood the idea of watching a load of old bangers drivers round smashing into each other. Might as well as sit on a bridge on M25 and watch all the cars escaping ULEZ charges.

    Could it be the re-branded arena Essex team - Thurrock hammers? they've had the backing of their council to move forward I believe, although I'm happy to be corrected

    Thurrock Council backing not worth nowt aren't they completely bankrupt. Thurrock Council has been left effectively bankrupt after hundreds of millions of pounds were put into risky investments. So imagine the cash cow of a housing development and a couple of donations to Councillors favourite charities will be welcomed with open arms.

    As an Eastbourne fan there is no other viable option geographically or logistically. So since the demise of speedway at Arlington the only meetings that the family has seen live is the British Final, SoN and the British SGP.  The children had gone to Arlington since being in a carry-cot now 113 + 17 they watch on tv but it is never quite the same. Nearest alternative is supporting the Brits in the SGP. 

    Certainly if a club was closer to home and at weekends we would make the effort but as Shhalewhhale states it's not the "same"
