Peterborough tweeting the team on social media might not be accurate, then just say what it bloody s Peterborough tweeting the team on social media might not be accurate, then just say what it bloody is

Who is on Instagram then showing off, I find it strange they haven't used social media to wish their team mates luck

Maybe Bradley is being ridden by Olivia

I've nothing against Scott our families have history etc but next season a situation like this needs to stop and be put in the rules. Can't blame the witches for getting the best guest possible

It shouldn't be allowed to happen

Stand corrected on holder last time out, don't think I went based on the panthers previous visit to that one

Holder is awful at Foxhall If Lambert was fully fit he would still ride Foxhall as tho he was injured Harris is not exceptional there, Starkey from memory is ok, ostegaard more miss than hit Think BWD flies around Foxhall tho so you've got a.... No chance with him

😁 I'll let you decide, Peterborough fans are easier to read, young Jeremy is the thick one

That is me getting carried away lol for a follower that is, but hope Witches finish the job Thursday for you guys, the die hards that support the team through thick and thin Sounds like Scotty and I do have something in common, glory hunters 😂😂😂

I believe I got carried away in the moment and showed a bit of passion today 😂😂😂

All depends on the rules set at the AGM

I'll put a few quid on him

Something to do Sunday then

So I have had a fair bit of time on my hands over the past two days, thinking... that upon us once again is the "biggest AGM of the year for British Speedway"... at some stage if this is allowed to carry on then one year there will simply be no AGM as the sport will be completely dead (Let's hope this does not happen)... anyway as ever these are my opinion, very much open to a great debate about this, challenge me if you have questions and add your own ideas! STRUCTURE For next year, I would expand the top tier of British Speedway "Premier League" to 12 teams which I feel at the moment is the maximum number we can really have, I would also remove the Conference league altogether and combine it with the teams left in an expanded Championship but ran more to the level of what the conference is now (16 teams).... lets move on with it... BRITISH PREMIER LEAGUE SPEEDWAY 1) Team building would be a to a 42 point average 2) Maximum of two double up riders per team (yes we need doubling up for a little while longer) 3) Only riders with a 4.5 average or below can double down plus they must be from a Commonwealth Country 4) All averages are rounded up or rounded down to the near .0 or .5 to assist in making team building easier An example of teams below based on using whatever averages I last saw, if they have a current Premier League average it is used, or their Premier League average is /1.2 or it is assessed (again just for argument sake here, pretty sure if it was done properly teams would be different). Belle Vue C. Cook 8.5 S. Worrall 7.5 R. Tungate 6 D. Bewley 4.5 T. Batchelor 7.5 J. Jacobs 3.5 T. Jonasson 4.5 42 Leicester K. Nilsson 7 P. Przedpelski 7 P. Starke 5 J. Auty 4.5 M. Campton 4.5 K. Gomolski 6.5 E. Kennett 6.5 41 Rye House C. Harris 7.5 K. Kasprzak 7 R. Wells 6.5 B. Barker 6 J. Garrity 6 N. Klindt 6 B. Morley 3 42 Swindon J. Doyle 9.5 D. Bellego 7.5 E. Riss 6 J. Sedgman 5.5 A. Ellis 5.5 B. Wilson-Dean 4.5 Z. Wajtknecht 3 41.5 Kings Lynn R. Lambert 7.5 T. Jorgensen 6 M. Fricke 7.5 N. Porsing 4.5 L. Rose 5.5 J. Pickering 4 K. Huckenbeck 5.5 40.5 Poole B. Kurtz 8 K. Woryna 7 T. Musielak 7.5 H. Andersen 8 E. Perks 3.5 L. Kerr 5 J. Shanes 3 42 Somerset P. Kildermand 8.5 P. Hougarrd 6 C. Wright 6.5 R. Lawson 6.5 M. Palm Toft 5 J. Allen 5 J. Graversen 4 41.5 Wolverhampton F. Lindgren 9.5 J. Thorsell 8.5 K. Howarth 6.5 L. Lindgren 6 A. Morris 4 M. Riss 4.5 N. Greaves 3 42 Sheffield J. Grajczonek 7.5 S. Masters 8 G. Zengota 8 J Bates 5.5 L Bridger 5.5 T. Kurtz 4.5 D. Ayres 3 42 Ipswich S. Nicholls 7.5 D. King 7 K. Newman 5 R. Schlein 7.5 C. Heeps 5.5 N. Covatti 6 D. Hume 3 41.5 Glasgow N. Morris 9 B. Nicol 5 A. Summers 7 N. Lunna 5 S. Robson 5.5 R. Worral 7.5 T. Perry 3 42 Peterborough K.Bjerre 8.5 L. Bjerre 6 J. Holder 6 C. Holder 7 O. Ostergaard 5.5 G. Manzares 5 C. Mountain 3 41 For team changes, I would have a rule in place stating that a rider can be transferred in on their current attained average throughout the season, but if a rider is let go by a team then they can only replace using his season start average... For example if Gino Manzares upped his average to a 7 and Peterboro wanted to let him go, they would only have 5 points to replace him - this is to protect riders who ride above their average and add points, I believe Ellis Perks may have been victim of this. If Gino Manzares falls to a 3.5 average during the season, and Peterboro attempt to replace him, they still get to use his 5 point average but any club that wants to sign Gino into their side can sign him on his current average of 3.5 - it will make team building and changes more interesting. League Cup Competition League Cup A Bellue Vue Sheffield Glasgow League Cup B Leicester Wolverhampton Peterborough League Cup C Swindon Poole Somerset League Cup D Rye House Ipswich Kings Lynn Home & Away Once so 4 Meetings Top 2 from Each Group progress to Quarter Finals Winner Group A vs Runner up Group B Winnder Group B vs Runner up Group A Winner Group C vs Runner up Group D Winner Group D vs Runner up Group C Semi Final Draw out of a Hat Overall = 10 meetings if you get to the final, minimum meetings 4 13 Heat Format - Points Awarded 4-3-2-0 - 2 points for winning the match, 1 point for Draw, 0 for defeat I ngroup matches, no tacticals KO CUP COMPETITION KO Cup for Example Belle Vue, Leicester, Rye House, Swindon all byes into round 2 Kings Lynn vs Poole Somerset vs Wolves Sheffield vs Ipswich Glasgow vs Peterborough Winner of each goes into Last 8 etc. Overall = 8 meetings, minimum 2 meetings 16 Heat Format - Points Awarded 3-2-1-0, 2 nomiated heats, two tactical rides allowed if 6 or more down before heat 12, anyone rider can replace any rider LEAGUE FORMAT League Format Home & Away once 3 Points for a Win, 1 Point Draw, 0 Points Loss 1 Bonus point for aggregrate score win 11 Home Meetings & 11 Away Meetings per season 22 League Meetings per season 15 Heat Format - One Nominated Heat - Overall Maximum Meetings = 40 meetings Minimum Meetings = 28 meetings based on the success of each team PREMIERSHIP RIDERS CHAMPIONSHIP Top 16 average riders from 2018 season qualify for the Premier League Riders Championship 2019 (as long as they ride in the UK in 2019) This will be contested over a 3-round series for example Ipswich, Wolverhampton, Belle Vue Prize money paid to all 16 riders in order of where they finish in the Championship All run over a GP format BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIP Top 16 riders who qualify to represent Britain Contested over a mini GP championship 5 rounds Prize money paid to all 16 riders in order of where they finish in the Championship All run over the current British Championship format (no points for semi final) but bonus points for final only. Championship Winner in 2018 qualifies for Wild Card at Cardiff in 2019 (more time to get sponsors for the event and prep) TELEVISION COVERAGE Offer the League meetings to BT Sport but an extended amount of meetings alongside an hour long weekly Speedway show where it brings interviews, news, behind the scenes footage, the cup draws etc. BSPA to have an online streaming channel where selected non BT league matches, Cup Matches, and "event meetings" such as Premiership Riders Championships are streamed worldwide on a PPV basis. Look at other platforms such as the new FREE sports channel or even ITV Sports for exclusive British Championship meetings DOUBLING UP OR DOWN As above anyone who is from a commonwealth country and double up or down as long as their average is below 4.5, they have 2 seasons of this if from a commonwealth country, 3 seasons if they are from the UK, if they go above 4.5 average in the Premiership they cannot double down for the following season. All Premier League meetings take priority over the Championship (new name for national league) THE NEW CHAMPIONSHIP LEAGUE Contested by 16 clubs featuring 6 rider teams built to a points limit of 30, current National League averages converted to old Premier League averages and rounded to the nearest .0 or .5 Teams are only allowed to pick riders from the Commonwealth countries plus one from outside of the commonwealth, out of the 6 riders per team at least 4 riders have to be from the UK. Teams are only allowed to have one rider in their team who doubles up into the Premier League to stop teams missing more than one rider per meeting through doubling up. Simple rules in place, one home meeting and one away meeting per season with one single KO Cup competition only (so same as the Premier League minus the League Cup). - The Top 16 British riders at the end of the season enter a one-off championship round to be held at Belle Vue with Prize money on offer depending on position finished The Top 16 Championship Individual would be streamed on the BSPA channel, alongside KO Cup meetings and selected League meetings, if the free sports channel were to sign up then some of the league and cup meetings can feature on that platform. LONG TERM VIEW Within 5 years you would be looking to establish a top division of 16 teams featuring no riders that double up With four teams moving up, you would be looking to replace these teams in the championship league BSPA need to work fast on adding Coventry back into the sport even if at Championship level, A London club needs to be established with the view to moving it into the top tier within 5 years Then two other clubs need to be created any two from Bradford, Halifax, Exeter, Reading, Boston, etc. sites need to be identified Opening up the championship to commonwealth riders will hopefully bring on our British youngsters but the minimum 4 brit requirement must remain, and ultimately these riders will feed into the premier league wether or not they are British, Australian, Canadian, etc. Also re guests Riders submit to bspa a willingness to be considered for the UK, this goes on a database with averages listed So if Swindon lost Doyle instead of a guest from another team which will be outlawed they either go via the championship or the list of approved guests so people like tai or a janowski can make some UK appearances

Just a question what days do you reckon the final legs will be depending on who gets through, Peterborough this Sunday? Glasgow Saturday?

Agreed on that

I would go Palm Toft Eric Riss Kim Nilsson Kyle Newman Then basically build around that, if Ipswich don't go up then Hume at 7, Newman at 6 Riss, Toft, Nilsson maybe with Morris at 1 then if team limit is 42 you've got around 7 left so either get someone from Britain in or take a punt on an assessed rider just not Pawel

Why BSPA need a qualified medic on their books who can oversee injuries etc while said rider under goes treatment or early holiday

If sedgy isn't given the longest odds ever then I'd be surprised gotta be 2500/1

If you said the same about Doyle 7 years into his career you'd laugh it off, I personally think cam will have a better career than holder jnr but doors don't open as easily

Bspa need to idiot off simple as that, is any fine worth losing a club over, there is no transparency in the sport, rules, regs, everything Absolute shambles

Naughty

Not sure on averages but a couple top level teams I'd like to see 1. Holder 2. Heeps 3. King 4. Covatti 5. Schlein 6. Greaves 7. Hume 1. Schlein 2. Heeps 3. King 4. Covatti 5. Nicholls 6. Newman 7. Greaves Or watered down championship 1. Covatti 2. Greaves 3. Heeps 4. Campton 5. Newman 6. Hume 7. Jenkins

Wish dad picked a colour other than red 😂😂

Saw Nathan's reaction baldy it seems like we didn't feel deserving but that in itself shows his true character, he's just clearly loving what he's doing, maybe if everyone throws in £1 per meeting to get a bigger fund for next year or do a collection one meeting from other fans
