    Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions

    Don't think it is negativity as such - more a frustration. He has a good talent , decent speed and big balls - not too bad a combination for a speedway rider I think his issue is possibly physical limitations as opposed to skill. I believe he suffers significant 'arm pump' which has caused the difficulties in the latter stages of meetings/races He did a really good job stepping into a difficult position with a significant proportion of meetings not only outside the RS spot for the first time but actually in the main body of the team His average is a decent achievement in those circumstances Yes it could be argued he dropped important points but remember he could only drop those because he got in the position in the first place. Many in and around his level wouldn't have had that chance to 'mess up' Danyon took some commendable scalps and overall more than did the job asked of him

    Team Predictions 2024

    If he is going to be 'the real deal' I would expect he would be putting in performances of note in the Prem by the end of this season Most riders that reach the very top would be top league ready inside 3 years

    Leicester Lions 2024

    Think the club that holds the rider registration has first call. If not offering a place then I believe you are correct Having said that it is pretty much a free for all whatever the rules - politics and finance override the regs......

    What a great service Chris did for the benefit of British Speedway Not only did all get to see Emil grace the league and be the biggest attraction for many a year but persevering to get that deal across the line also paved the way for the others Had the Emil deal floundered the others ate unlikely to have happened

    King’s Lynn 2024 serious team predictions

    Well if Tomalins claim is correct Buster made at least £100k profit at Boro last year so you would think there's a little wiggle room.......

    Promoters Conference

    That would've been when he went round straight away as soon as the race was over Now the Tractor is not allowed to move whilst any rider remains on the track - hence the programmed grading breaks I do agree though it doesn't have to take an age ans could be done more than after 4 , 7 ,11 and 14 I've never understood why many get so upset with trackwork - done right it improves the racing and surely that's what people want....

    Sheffield Tigers 2024

    If the sport could unearth 20 or so Kyle Howarths it would be in a much better space

    But fits perfectly as a 4 point guest ....

    Should be banned - disgraceful attack on the paying customer Should be congratulated for resisting yhe forces of evil

    I think the "in the best interests" regulation needs to be invoked Everywhere we went with Emil in tow meant the home track attracted an extra 100-200 on the gate That's quite a big boost so to ensure the benefit continues he should be reassessed to 8

    Since when did having an illegal team bother Sheffield??

    Oxford Spires 2024

    I agree It could be the blueprint for the future for all Prem teams

    Promoters Conference

    With the stronger riders that have returned imo the limit needs to be higher and the RS removed Can see the 6 and 7 being seriously out of their depth

    Oxford Spires 2024

    Wouldn't surprise me at all to see a 4/5 rider overlap

    Leicester Lions 2024

    The rising star initiative in its current guise should be nowhere near the Premiership The Championship should hang its head in shame that they dropped it

    Belle Vue 2024

    A 7+ rider in a 5.5 wrapper I'd expect Adam to be very much in demand

    Rew isn't an extraliga riders until/if he rides next season So only 2 (emil/doyle) at the moment See you can interpret the regs however you feel to suit......

    Sheffield Tigers 2024

    If he is it must be that a 45 point limit has been agreed.......

    No reason why not either Just their preference - no big deal

    Promoters Conference

    Those going on about the cost need to get some perspective in the scheme of what it takes to put team together for a season That £1k price being quoted is probably about the equivalent of 1 ride in 1 meeting to cover the likes of Emil Doyle Bewley Holder etc... Even lower down its likely not even the cost of 1 meeting for a Championship heat leader It really is irrelevant in the big picture

    Promoters Conference

    Sheffield booked the tiny No1 room with no sea view for £200 per night but at the last minute we're allowed to switch to the Robert Lambert penthouse suite (amazing reassessed at just £175 per night)

    Santa Claus is also free and I don't know of anyone quicker on an anti clockwise lap Added advantage that there are no clashes with his other job as there is no season overlap Untried foreigner should be in on a 5 - now that's a real bargain

    My Top 20 Riders

    He had a doctors note when the list was compiled

    Craig Cook?

    Never said is was If he is fit and ready then good for him. Despite not being his biggest fan I would be very pleased to know a fellow human being is feeling improved/recovered after traumatic events

    Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions

    There's bound to be at least one reg that we only find out about around June/July (possibly later) time when one 'smart' promoter looks to shaft the others....
