If he is declared unfit surely the Bandits could use guests? I can't see it making a massive difference anyway but anything is better than nothing.

Were he to be sidelined, there could be a different guest each meeting, each able to specialise at one or other if the tracks. But Jack's average isn't too high just now: 3.12 for both legs.......

Scunthorpe tried to do that with Danny Phillips a few years back and the SCB refused and they had to keep using him. The same would happen here, I believe, as it's too late to make a change to the line-up (i.e sacking a rider). If he says he's fit, then there is nothing they can do about it. Give him his three rides as quickly as possible and use the other reserve is about the best they can do. Having said that, Jack is not helping his team one bit and is being rather selfish in this matter by the looks of it. I would surmise that he will probably not get a team place in Northumberland in 2027, because of his actions.

It really is a strange situation, and one where the team manager should step in. Openly admitting an injury is causing him to ride below par, and carrying on because he wants to be in a cup final (where he would no doubt struggle again) I'm sorry, i'd be looking at a replacement (one who can ride Plymouth would be a bonus)

That’s exactly what he said on the stream during the interval to be fair. It’s clear it was Ipswich he was waiting patiently for last winter. Doesn’t matter how much a rider wants to ride for someone at the end of the day. There’s more than one component before a deal is struck. The club has to actually offer you something.

I always seem to be in the minority, but I think the RS rule is a good one & hope they keep it. By all means add it to the Champ, but not remove it from the Prem. I'll use Joe T as an example, would he have received as many chances if it wasn't for the RS scheme? It's taken him a few seasons, but now scoring good points in the Prem. Poland have rules for Polish reserves, Britain should do the same for British reserves. Regarding King's Lynn, I don't know why they're always so poor. They often look like they've got a powerhouse reserve but it doesn't happen, this year sign a superstar number one & a very promising Brit & success still doesn't happen.

That’s what he said last night ffs 🙄 His words.

Smederna looses and it feels really stupid but expected. They have had mediocre starts all season but still managed to salvage wins, but against Artem and Bastian it was punished. Also a reminder that that the finals will be available to watch world wide on SVT play (Swedish equivalent of BBC).

Anyone able to confirm who was all nominated for Heat 15. Only thing I can see is Pawlicki crashed then meeting abandoned.

If Premier Sports got British, Polish and Swedish speedway then I wouldn't mind paying £10 - £15 per month.

I think he gets more in his lounge than Workington get in there stadium 😂

He can't be Ipswich is his speedway home !

Mayfield could do worse than try & bring Emil back. Failing that Musielak & Brennan from this year plus a return for Rew & 4 new Mayfield signings. Woryna seems to be the name in the frame so him plus one youngster with Wroclaw connections leaves 2 reserves to find. In the past I have given King some stick especially in 2024 however this year he has been fantastic. I do think his average will rule him out of Ipswichs plans next year.

Indeed. We're already toiling for a guest for Hausl on Friday at Scunthorpe. Am presuming he'll not be back. Anyone know.

Too many Clubs have race day's / night's on FRI/SAT in the CHAMP which makes the decision an easy one tbh.

That's kind of my point. It's possible some rider's can earn more riding in the Championship over the Premiership. If they still get a gig in Poland it's not guaranteed rider's will pick the Premiership as TTT seems to think.

Was it not clear what was going to be included in Premiership deal,it was it the Championship package.? still good value if you are desperate to watch though.

Do you think some riders in this league are potentially not as bothered about a poor night as they would be if they did not have the fall back of racing in the Championship?

Perhaps he should have stayed at Berwick,he seemed to be able to ride the track and it had a lot more Home advantage that Ashfield. Very inconsistent though.

Best meeting of the season by far with plenty of passing. Lawson and Pickering had a real ding dong battle in Heat 13 which Lawson just couldn't make stick. Killeen look fast (which was a more than I can about our rising star who looks to have no confidence at Foxhall) if a little unsteady at times and done well to remount after his fall. The racing did not seem rushed but still finished at a decent time. Love watching Tobi hang of the bike and was flying again. I feared the worst in heat 14 but Tom and Kevin done good. Lovely touch by the Sheffield riders to go and thank their fans for their support. And a nice touch by the promotion to give season ticket holders a free programme albeit 3 weeks old.

Don't really see how Smederna will be able to turn this around when it's only Andzejs who brings in heat wins.

Even when they are not picked they are expected to attend the meeting in Poland Dan has missed Championship meetings to be in Poland and not get a ride...

Your assuming the ‘better’ riders in the Championship actually ride for points money these days as I’m led to believe , despite the chairman’s claims that guarantee’s are banned, that more ‘top’ riders are on them now than last year. From the riders I assist they tell me most heat leaders in the championship are on some form of guarantee, wether that be fully or partially and our imports have to be due to the stipulation on their visas. Don't most of our championship riders ride in the Polish 2nd tier? So does the rule affect them ? Ill believe a TV deal when I see it .
