Probably because Howarth has the ability to put 2 points on his average whereas Wright doesn’t?

Maybe but the season Sheffield won the league when josh g was number 1 it took most the pressure off howarth now they have king it should do the same so I can easily see his average going up.

Points limit.

Building a speedway team is like building a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces have to fit.

Putting Charles Wright instead  of Kyle would have meant we would have been over the limit, so we would have had to make further changes.

Plus last season in the past, next season is the future.

Okay to explain further.

 

the club obviously feel that Kyle has the potential to  put more on his starting average than Charles.

Kyle has had an operation for the sinus problems he was suffering from, and the injuries he picked up during the season have had time to recover, so there is a decent chance that he will be back to good form.

Yeh, fair enough, I expect a lot were surprised that Charles left, hope Kyle has a better year than last.

There is a petition online at https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/support-the-return-of-lakeside-hammers-speedway calling on Thurrock Council to find a new home for Lakeside Hammers following the closure of Arena Essex for housing development.

Since Essex is the spiritual home of British speedway (the very first speedway meeting in Britain took place at High Beech in February 1928) I hope that every contributor to this forum will sign the petition (if you haven't already done so). 

Having lost the facility for the Lakeside team in order to make way for redevelopment, Essex has become just one more speedway backwater. As lovers of our fantastic sport, we can't afford any more track closures. Therefore, despite the fact that you may not feel that Lakeside is "home turf," please nevertheless sign the petition in honour of Essex's speedway heritage and in recognition of its founding contribution to 90 years of British motor sport, restoring the long tradition of speedway racing in the county.

One home one away ? Great can't wait. 14 meetings  presume stock cars take bank holiday Sunday's ? People always say track prep is difficult for Sunday afternoon meetings. I would expect that's when we will be racing as statement mentions kids getting to bed at a reasonable time.The main thing is we have a good team to follow.lets hope we get that right this time.

According to Startrax fixtures their dates at Owlerton are 14 April, 23 June, 4 August and 6 October. All Sundays 12.30 start so presumably no speedway those weeks. Incidentally, does anyone know of any other Sundays stadium not available. Info would be useful for planning weekends away.
