Plymouth have announced main team title sponsors for 2022 season.  Westcolour, who are one of the largest mailing and fulfilment companies in the UK. The team will be known as the Plymouth Westcolour gladiators. Fantastic news and well done.

Let's hope it's the right package?!

On Companies House yes. Could still be involved within the club elsewhere. Perhaps thats what Lawson got wind off and wants nothing to do with Plymouth if he is around?

Just reading this weeks speedway star. Lawson says some red flags were showing thats why he made decision to change his mind. Would not expand on what the red flags were. 
I wonder whether he got wind Ian Jordan is still in the background at the coliseum. If he is then Plymouth speedway bewarned.

Since Plymouth have 4 heat leaders & arguably the weakest Edward Kennett has to ride at number 1, I'd go with this riding order:

1) Edward Kennett

2) Ben Barker

3) Hans Andersen

4) Alfie Bowtell

5) Michael P Toft

6) Dan Gilkes

7) Henry Atkins.

With track specialist Barker having an inside gate in the opening heat, gives Plymouth a good chance of starting off with a heat advantage against the opposition number 1!

I used to think that but the season he had with Scunthorpe a couple of years changed my mind , he was a credit on and off the track

Hans Andersen at his best, with his team - player hat on could be great for Alfie Bowtell and really bring him on, as Paul  Hurry did at Lakeside, or it could be the mis match of the season. You never know with Hans, but he has great motorcycle skills that go beyond just winning the race. I like them both and hope it works for them. If they are paired it will be a pairing I’ll follow closely!

Kennett quits Plymouth. Where do you go from here 

Bad timing even with understandable reasons. Given he has no other Speedway commitments it would have been more helpful to at least "encourage" Kennett to stay on and do the first meeting then quit? He cops a ban for with holding services, Plymouth get to run RR until a replacement is found.....

Late notice isn’t it! Is there any reason given yet?

Not good news for the Plymouth faithful, Birmingham have proved riders are not queuing up for the Championship. But remember Mark did pull a few rabbits out the hat last year with Peddersen  & Crump - so fingers crossed!

To many Red Flags at Plymouth. Same as Lawson was talking about in his Speedway star story the other week. It's not rocket science what those red flags are. It's Ian Jordan he's obviously still in the back ground down that way
