    Oxford Cheetahs 2022

    Come on then Oxford can you name some riders please. I know one local sponsor that would be keen to see Nathan Stoneman in the line-up, what would be his average & would he be good enough?

    Rising stars

    Brennan is still learning, best to be able to ride all tracks & become the better rider.

    Belle Vue 2022

    Easiest money earnt in Speedway are the "hired for the night" riders mechanic/ fuel & Oil guys, I'm told they get £100 - £150 per night not a bad bit of pocket money in these hard times!
  4. Most riders ride in both leagues so therefore have REAL averages for both leagues, so were or how does the conversion rate apply?

    @ 99 squid you are having a laugh, would cost £5 - £15 max to produce....

    Plymouth Gladiators 2022

    If Ed's average is 8.62 then it would be a good time to undo the deal me thinks!

    Plymouth Gladiators 2022

    "IF" Ruml is a Plymouth asset then it would be a no brainer to have him back. Lot's of pros & cons with Ben Barker & Adam Roynon - the biggest con would be they are both injury prone!

    Plymouth Gladiators 2022

    I don't think it will happen but I would like to see Jason Crump back, I think (injury free) he's capable of adding 3 points onto his 2020 average. Another thing to consider is the number of season tickets sold in 2020 to people just to see J.C. ride!

    Always on the cards, Henry has every opportunity to up his average in 2022, with a decent all round team there should be every chance he will. However the Plymouth press release stating Henry Atkins as a "SUPERSTAR" is way off the mark but maybe just a tongue in cheek dig a dad Mike?
  10. What's the weather forecast for Poole on Thursday & what stadium facilities are being made available - have had many a meal in the "Glass Grandstand" restaurant.
  11. 10 points up to Glasgow should add a few hundred to Thursdays crowd & boost Matt's wallet. As things stand I think both set of fans are happy & still keeping interest going for us neutrals.

    I think Rob Godfrey has "overall" rights to run on a Friday night, wasn't that one of the factors that saw the sad demise of Workington?

    Belle Vue 2022

    & the premiership & speedway G.B.

    Oxford Cheetahs 2022

    The carrot that attracts teams to the Premiership is the T.V. money. That's one positive V the many negatives.
  15. If as we all hope there are at least 8 teams in the premiership will there be enough G.B. talent for 2 rising stars per team?

    Goret is French they only abide by EU laws that suit them, otherwise anything goes!

    Premiership race nights.

    In a perfect world I would like to see the 2022 Premiership run Mondays & Wednesdays with TV meetings on Tuesdays so not to effect crowds. "Star" riders can choose between the UK or Denmark/ Sweden with the one's choosing the UK getting 2 UK meetings per week over their Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday stayover. Championship to run Thursday, Friday & Saturday with limited doubling-up. Division 3 or whatever you want to call it to run mainly Sundays & again restricted doubling-up. Not likely to happen I know......

    Newcastle Diamonds 2021

    One way local business & better off supporters could help clubs like Newcastle & Birmingham survive would be to own the air fence, tractors, graders etc. These would be available for the season BUT remain in the ownership of the "Club Guardians" I do think there are business's & supporter's willing to get involved in this way who would not just hand over a couple of grand into thin air!
  19. This news has overshadowed Peterborough's sponsorship from Saga. Apparently Rob Lyon is also in talks with McCarthy & Stone for the 2022 season "if" he can get his desired 1 to7.

    Ipswich 2022

    Great effort, fact is unless the Premiership have a minimum of 8 teams then the U.K. must go for just one league & with what's left run IOW type of meetings. P.S. 8 teams = 7x league x2 =14 home matches + Cup competition.

    Plymouth Gladiators 2021

    100% agree. What I am trying to get across is in my 55 years of following speedway I had never purchased a season ticket, Crump's inclusion in the Plymouth team was the only reason I purchased that ticket. I have thoroughly enjoyed my speedway @ Plymouth in 2021 - but would not have the same desire do buy a 2022 ticket with no J.C.
  22. Ghosty

    Plymouth Gladiators 2021

    I know quite a few people who purchased season tickets purely because Jason Crump was signed. It was not the season Jason or those season ticket holders had wished for but were are we with those season ticket purchases next year?

    Plymouth Gladiators 2021

    Steve Plymouth will never give the racing I have been accustomed too @ Somerset (RIP) but you as a Poole fan I can think of three words: POT, KETTLE & BLACK. Let us agree we are lucky we have a speedway track we can support & that neither are like Somerset or Belle Vue!

    Plymouth Gladiators 2021

    I agree, I have spent this season sat in the NHS stand close to the starting gate & had been highly impressed by Bjarne's gating ability, so consistent & in a different class to everyone else. He must have lost his trapping gloves or more likely that special engine has gone bang or been serviced never to be the same again.

    Richard Lawson has taken a knock tonight @ Wolves - will he be riding in the 90th. & if not who will replace him?
