Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
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
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Falcon1983's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
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 -

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....... -

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.... -

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

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 -

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

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 -

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

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- 456 replies

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

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

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 -

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 -

He had a doctors note when the list was compiled -
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

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....
