Marksman

Why? Craig struggled last season and still scored big points. He is back boxing and looking trim. Why comment that when you know nothing

Announcement will be our Number 1 I’m told, Happy Xmas!

.

There would, but fortunately it’s not gonna happen! There was a reason he wasn’t pursued last season when he wasn’t retired. Got a good feeling about the 2024 side , I think people will be surprised!

Is he not at Scunthorpe?

I merely mentioned BWD as a bit of a laugh as wondered what his future plans were, but it looks increasingly likely he’s going to be back in the UK next season now. He’s just posted today about flying back to New Zealand to ride in the national champs, something he hasn’t done for a while!

Agree it'd be the biggest gamble signing in the league, but no doubt he's got ability. Riss is riding for Landshut in the Polish league, not sure a Saturday night track will work for him

Was never going to anywhere else, I don't actually think he's the best signing on his average (3.17 I think) Will just be competing against all the new 2 point riders in the league some of who are arguably better Suppose it's a bit of loyalty shown by Glasgow.

He had a big shoulder injury going into the season was never fit. Only rode 1 match I believe. Last proper average was 6.37 in the Premiership 2019 for Peterborough.

One name who I haven't seen mentioned on any of the Championship threads is Bradley Wilson-Dean, his average would be 8.21. He mentioned on Facebook that he has recieved 2 team offers for 2024. Not an ideal average with him not properly riding over here since 2019 (rode 1 match for Newcastle in 2022) Still only just turned 29, someone will have take a gamble on him sometime you'd think if he wants to get back into British Speedway. Also won the US Open championship recently in October. Would fit into these comments, I did see them somewhere, perhaps in the Speedway Star?

The lineup for 2024, will be just fine. Don’t know what the panic is. May be something lined up soon to announce the riders. CC111, Claus, Mitchell Cluff for starters

Will be riding for Wrocław U24 side on Tuesdays again. Has to keep weekends free for practice over there if he wants to keep progressing. No idea how he juggles a full time job, PL Championship and Poland! Fair play

Palm Toft? Don’t know where is local to him, but that’ll be a relief

Luke Harrison signed, it’s in the speedway star

Yeah he qualifies for a visa now, finished top 4 in the Victorian State championship at the weekend. The podcast was recorded before that happened

Triggers broom Aka Ben

Yeah he is making his debut in Ekstraliga 2 (Old Div 1) for Poznan in 2024

Out in the town centre today, promoting the club https://x.com/workycomets/status/1728367958307606748?s=46

Did you see my other post? The combined average doesn't count for much when his away average was 7.00, making him 19th on that particular list! Puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the team if the number 1 doesn't perform away from home.

£15 would be underselling the sport in my opinion, it's even £20 across the board to watch non-league (National League) football these days. I had a look at 2015 admission prices and they were £15 for Championship level speedway then, when if you compare to a minimum wage of £6.50ph it does seem more expensive in 2015. If you compare to 2024, minimum wage is due to be set at £11.44ph and admission £20. I know there an many other factors and many workers who are salaried don't often see large rises but it's one interesting way to look at it.

Neither will be riding in Polish senior leagues, only U24 league on a Tuesday

If you look at his 2023 home average though it overinflates this at 10.08, and away is 7.00. Probably tells alot with the home track advantage that Armadale gives

Based on what? Not great away from Armadale

It’s in the Speedway star, Lambert is the first signing
