Cook and kvech

Yeehah

You need riders on 6-7 who are consistent like a Richard Lawson for example. Harris at his age is just as likely to score 10 as he is 5 imo but he will give it 100% in every race he competes in. Kvech should be moved on as his off nights hurt the Team badly as he keeps on getting new KL deals every winter with a vision of him becoming a solid No.5. B. Cook doesn't really care about British Speedway and he's only useful for Belle Vue to ride the NSS most weeks imo.

oh

Taxi with Bolt app.

Someone’s obsessed with the mighty trackrat 😂😂💦💦

Robert Lambert and Cooper Rushen the final two confirmed

Fools & their money are easily separated. If you don’t agree, vote with your feet.

No idea on averages yet but I'm thinking something like. 1. Doyle 2. Ellis 3. King 4. Brennan 5. Polish Rider (Not Musielak) 6. Edwards 7. RS I'd like Musielak back but it's clear as day that Paul Hurry gives up on him after one bad ride and that to me tells me everything I need to know when it comes to the pecking order in retaining riders from this year.

He was certainly pleased with it, especially as it was on an off race night. He came up to the sponsors lounge after the meeting for a chat and a few beers. Had the perfect opportunity to have a good chat about various things and he was happy to answer all my questions. Wont go in to what was said on here because that would be unfair, but he’s a really nice fella! Genuinely hope it works out well for him here he seems to have taken to the place already and is enjoying himself.

yes i could feel the seethe via the internet! I would say that it was the best crowd i had seen last night so what with streaming and that hopefully the meeting ran at a profit. The issue I do have is variety - I am back at Foxhall next week and its Northampton - last time it was a close meeting 47-43 but in 4 matches at Foxhall I will have only seen 2 or the 5 other teams.

Certainly adds to the atmosphere....

Wouldn't he be banned if he doesn't go?... It was mentioned that he should be asked on BSN last night about why he is in Denmark and not the UK.. Maybe the promoters of Poole should have explained why when informing everyone that they had booked Sam Masters to replace him... It is hardly the fault of the riders that such situations occur is it?..

There's a very good bus/tram service. Tickets can be purchased from many convenience stores. There were still trams running after last year's GP and that was after an hour's rain delay.

Its called BSN or streaming!

If that's the case, Lawson should be at Poole then

We are staying in the Old Town for the Riga GP, what's the best way to get to and from the stadium ?

Fair play to Leicester btw. Great turnout by their supporters. Kemp was outstanding! He can certainly win races around Foxhall these days

It’s a bit strange with Lawson because we had him here for a season under Louis a few years back and he was good as gold. Never missed the parade truck from memory, or any meetings. Hawkins even admitted last winter on a podcast that they made a mistake letting him go because he’s proved himself to be a consistent scorer and reliable. It could simply have been Louis because we know he was a stickler for professionalism and wouldn’t have accepted any nonsense from his riders or they’d have been out the door.

To get 8 teams in the top tier I am sure some work will be done on averages... Bringing 8 competitive teams to the tapes will be the aim... Maybe even less riders per team to deliver that "wider difference" between the leagues, that Richard Coleman has mentioned needs to happen.. If UK Speedway is having to go head to head next season with Denmark and Sweden for the same Polish contracted riders, then maybe less riders per team would mean higher payments to them?.. Denmark have five rider teams, and riders have five and six rides... I thought that Doubling Up would be a key advantage for the UK, when attracting those riding in Poland, given the number of total meetings would far outweigh Sweden and Denmark... Stopping DU'ing for these riders no longer gives the UK this advantage... Possibly they will go home and away twice to raise the number of meetings higher than Denmark and Sweden?...

I was referring to the victory parade after the match is won with the rest of the team.

I was told last night that he really wants to come back, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be in the team. Just that it’s a pretty straightforward deal for us to do if we want it. Think it will depend on who else they can get in first.

Makes a big difference to any meeting when a decent amount of away fans turn up.. In Football the Premier League cap away fans at £30.. Speedway should do some similar reduced cost prices for away fans...

I would love to see Doyle back, although his average could be a problem..... It's only going one way at BV

If you think this situation is bad, wait until next season, as if rumoured Poland introduce a Poland + 1 other league rule for any rider in the first 2 polish leagues 😲. So say Mr Lawson or A N Other signs for a polish team, he could only ride for 1 of Poole, Ipswich or Denmark. How will the British leagues cope with no double uppers, or no Danish riders as the will ride in Denmark for sponsorship.
