Till the implosion?

You really must take more water with it Dean! 🙃

I'd have liked to see hook back He looked to improve around workington a lot

Oh come on 😳this is the most important AGM since last year and the collective of personnel that the sport has never seen the likes of before, personally I’m expecting some inspirational decisions that will take speedway to new heights of greatness in the sporting world

I think youre right regarding averages,and i dont think assessed averages were a " thing" until points limits were introduced for team building, replacing rider control, some time in the late 70s I think

Its the Final countdown.

More excited about going back to work tomorrow after a lovely 2 weeks off to be honest Dean

Heats 13 and 15 will be looked after but the rest as iffy as last year, especially away from home. At least those two will draw the crowds in nationwide, well at the other 4 or 5 tracks anyway 😁

Still waiting for last weeks copy, post is very erratic so maybe tomorrow...

Fair play, if doctoring the track isn’t working just cheat.

Might improve his riding on technical tracks if he came to us but I doubt we would sign someone who can’t ride Foxhall

Does anyone think that Woffinden would be interested in the extra hassle of the Prem fixture list when he's returning from injury and has a GP season to focus on? As for Lidsey, I'm not convinced. Brennan, King, Rew, Ellis, Jenkins, and Edwards + 1 seems an option ... although I have absolutely no idea how close that is, or who the +1 would be.

I am sure Gavan knows all the inside info.

Just over 2 days to go, can you feel the excitement?

I haven't been to Glasgow since 2022, but think its old Arthur Wellesley (Duke of Wellington) similarly in Edinburgh ( a city I visit regularly as my lad lives there) the statue of Adam Smith in front of St Giles Cathedral always used to have a traffic cone on its head - the cone was actually removed for the Queens lying in state etc in 2022. I think its a mix of student and local humour!

First title of the season, well done Poole

Well I am not really convinced it does for me, as his recall suggested (assuming everything posted previously on this thread was either true and posted in good faith) that it was either for a punch up whilst out on licence or he was beaten up by his old cronies whilst out. Had he say gone out robbing the elderly again i might be inclined to say yes and that there shoud be no 2nd chance. re your 2nd point agreed we should always be preared to say to someones face what we either say behind their back or when they are not present.

Didn’t someone say Brennan was Sheffield bound? @PhilTheAce I think??

Just also like to add that there's still a chance Hook returns, unless he's signed elsewhere. The longer the signing drought goes on, the more plausible it is that we havent signed our full team yet.

I also find it baffling but zischke has been amongst the main body of the team for 2 seasons. Hook excelled at reserve and beat some good riders over the course of the season. However, when he guested in the main body of other teams, he was poor. Thats not to say Hook wouldn't have been good in the main body over time, but I partially understand the hesitation from the promotion. Still believe he deserved a chance after his performances last season. I remember him rounding Chris Harris at Northside.

I'm sorry this comment is laughable, talk about knee jerk reactions 😂 Let's just forget about the other meetings he's raced while back home then, in some stronger fields I must add. We all like Jacob Hook, but think anyone who watches Speedway knows who the more exciting / faster / talented / rider is.

If Ippo do run in 2026, they coudl have a top two of Woofy and Lidsley, both of whom seem to be unattached at the moment.

Here is a strange question you don’t get everyday, on the back of the speedway star this week there is an advert for the Ben fund meeting at Glasgow and in the corner there is a picture of a statue of a man on a horse with a traffic cone on his head, why ?

I was told this 1-7 a while back and it's looking bang on so far. J. Holder Flint C. Holder Rowe Pickering Etheridge Harrison (RS)

Pickering Museliak, and Gilkes? Think that just about fits the limit. Harrison for RS?.
