Plymouth = 228m Scunthorpe = 285m (Poole = 299m)

Think track is prepared for racing and Picko rides the fence more than Bomber does.

The EWR is a racers track with plenty of lines and loads of passing, Poole is not! I await the dirge from Poole supporters😁😁😁

If we do get 8 teams, then how many fixtures will it be. Home and away twice? Home and away once with a "league cup", with two divisions of four each, or just once home and away. I'm asking as over the years, the number of matches has already reduced considerably.

Exactly the sort of mindset Coleman & Lemon are up against…..no idea about how the modern sporting world works & what today’s consumers want. As Coleman said they can all argue about the time line but the current path leads to extinction of the sport.

Hopefully! Even with some kind of safety net so that if it doesn’t work out, they lose too much money or the crowds suffer because of the loss of local derbies etc etc, then give them those assurances that they can drop again similar to Oxford. At least give it a ‘kin go! The set up there is tailor-made for top flight Speedway.

is there any truth about glasgow going up ?

100%, and that will be the objective of Richard Coleman and the rest of the top tier.. Make it a "serious sport"... Hopefully there are enough who want to run it as such... For the rest then the current last several years of 100's of adhoc septets turning up will be fine... But you don't try and sell that division to the TV or potential major sponsors.. It will interesting to see how they make their intended clear demarcation between the leagues...

At least The FA own Wembley. So yes it is the home of football in England. Maybe the BSPL could buy Coventry in due course?

You go to a pub on Friday night. You walk to the bar where the barman is in conversation with three other customers. What is their history? What have they done together? Have any of them been to prison? You don't know them or anything about them but you stand next to them & drink your pint without question. The difference is Jason Garrity is someone who's name you know & you didn't like him before he went to prison. if you want to use him as a reason not to attend speedway events thats your choice but you don't need to share your hateful message with the rest of us. He done the crime & he's done the time. Now live & let live

With that attitude it certainly will be. There are however, people who still believe in the product (Richard Coleman the latest) who are trying hard to pull the sport up by its bootstraps and get it upwardly mobile. Your club and others like it, may well be happy with their slippers on, reduce costs annually and see the sport descend even further in to the abyss as an amateur sport in front of a couple of hundred people. Mr Campbell and the rest of the OAP dinosaurs are entitled to have that mindset. Others, like the mentioned Coleman and Mark Lemon, would prefer to at least try and get the top tier moving back upwards as a serious sport. You may think they’re wasting their time, but they obviously don’t so let them get on with it. Enjoy your thriving product in the lower league.

ARIES, why dont you EFF OFF !!!!

You BV posters keep trying to make out that speedway is a serious sport, especially "tier 1". Those days are long gone and have been for years.

Another piping up who appears to be in the wrong section. Until you show some ambition, back down you go with the rest of the bottom feeders. 😜

Foord and Perry combined would be under 6. It would fit for 38, but you could probably include Flint for Rowe or Zischke if it's 40 (I haven't actually worked out any 2027 averages, but his final average is almost exactly 2 higher than Zischke & Rowe). Either way, I think we should bring back the 4 team tournament!

My guess not my choice, Emil and Artem would both be my choice but therein lays the reason I will never get invited to join the FIM

I didnt realise that we had started a Fantasty Speedway Team competition for 2027 .

Tobias Thomsen, NO CHANCE, was a guest for Tigers and scored 1 point i think. What about Alfie Bowtell, if his average fitted in at Reserve ????

I agree actually about the double header back to back on consecutive days. The second one seemed a bit flat for everyone compared to the first and I think it was too much too quickly.

Flint never should have been selected for Ht15 in first leg. Some of us agreed there that KJP deserved a chance with Tate Z when announced. Maybe it wouldn't have made a huge difference as damage was done over the few heats before. Track definitely prepared to stop Bomber, which sadly worked. Scorpions deserve their shot at Poole and I wish them well.

Should have probably done this first, but have just looked up some heat times for comparison. Plymouth 53secs Scunthorpe 58secs Poole 60secs

All 3 have lower Polish League averages than Emil and Artem.

My guess is bewley, lindgren and holder (if fit)

You could still fit Plymouth insider the scunny track

Flint was woeful at Scunthorpe which was where the tie was lost, summed it up when he didnt even finish heat 15 and went back to the pits, there were quite a few travelling fans on bend 1 which he totally ignored.
