I believe press and practice is on 14th march at 3pm till late

Ipswich were more than happy to take Tom off Birmingham and see them “make up the numbers”. Tom had ridden part of their season at number 1 after we released him. When you consider the top two the witches had in place, tapping up Tom seemed unnecessary if looking at the bigger picture. It did however achieve what Louis wanted with his league win, and that’s all that mattered to him.

Not again. “Reduce Crumps average or I’ll sell the club” No problem Chris.

Would agree

Every season, fans start off enthusiastically after a long winter of no Speedway.... Often, by the end of May, for too many, that enthusiasm has worn off... Let's hope this season, more than ever, each team can keep its "opening night crowd" numbers for most of the season..

You can probably get away with a 6 team league, but no more than that. There’s a few that could come back in if they’ve been given enough notice namely Doyle, Becker, Ellis. But they would only help team five and Six be a bit more competitive rather then get a seventh or eighth team competing.

I don’t buy that. The vast majority of fans switch off at the end of the season & come back at the start of the new one. It’s only us on here that get our knickers in a twist, a small percentage of those who actually attend. If the side ends up getting beaten week in week out then yes the attendance will drop, but the goings on this winter won’t make much difference to the attendance at the start of the season

Goodbye speedway my old friend…The sound of silence 🤫

Need they bother. No one wants to see a pathetic looking team just to make the numbers up. Even if it’s six teams, it’s a pathetic state of affairs.

Wrong bloke mate

You wanna bet🤣

I couldn’t if I tried

It's impossible, Perry Como.

Looking at your Site Name... and going back to Elton... with a bit of help from Kiki on this one... "Don't Go Breaking the Tapes"....

Perhaps next year. I know how you feel it’s gutting when it’s your birthday and the wife forgets to make you a cake🤣

All this reminds me of Hackney 1988. Team wins the league in a class of their own. During the close season the team gets ripped apart ( funnily enough half of them go to Ipswich). Three years late Hackney closed.

Sheffield 2023. Overall. Jack Holder 9.40 Tobiasz Musielak 9.35 Tai Woffinden 9.12 Away Tobiasz Musielak 8.50 Tai Woffinden 8.33 Jack Holder 8.00 That doesn't suggest if motivated and in a competitive team that Musielak will struggle to win heats home & away.

Scrap the Team. Pile up the Top 5 and get a Rider like Mitch McDiarmid in @ No.6. 1. T. Brennan 7.05 2. D. King 6.50 3. R. Lawson 6.81 4. N. Klindt 6.46 5. T. Musielak 6.63 6. M. McDiarmid 3.45 (5.18 divided by 1.5) 7. J. Edwards (RS) = 36.90

I've tried to remain positive this winter but I'm now very concerned to a point where the damage could be irreversable for Mayfield tbh. Fans have hit boiling point before the season has even begun so they simply aren't going to put up with a poorly built 1-7 that gets hammered every week, Fans don't have any patience left and nobody can blame them. I get options are limited but you can still put together a better side than the one that's rumoured which would put up a better fight to nick 3rd Place. You've still got riders like Nicolai Klindt available who can score big points around King's Lynn and Leicester as well as Ipswich. What's the point in having a No.6 on a GSA around the 4.50 mark unless it's a Rider who's going to put in Leon Flint 2025 type scores every week? It goes against everything what a strength in depth side should be. It's not even a side built to win at Home if the No.6 isn't a Rider who'll score a minimum of 8-10 Points consistently around Foxhall. The blame also lies with Chris Louis if the rumoured undercooked 1-7 becomes factual.....No free pass this time.

Yep, he just can't help himself.. No doubt he'll be back soon with another "Nom de plume"

Permission to Dream Band: Speedway.

The vast majority of the fans can see that, yet, incredibly, it seems those running the sport cannot. Once again, if we go with six teams, at least one will be cannon fodder... Just like when we had seven teams... Just like when we had eight teams. .. Just like when we had, etc etc etc, In fact, when the top tier reached eight and more, it usually meant at least two teams were cannon fodder.... Yet. . "We propose to do exactly the same this season" is the only plan....

Not John Perrin. 2013 vs Poole in the David Gordon era. Two riders, Zagar and Zetterstrom (allegedly) missed their plane, and the track was deliberately over watered. Darren Hartley was dispatched by SCB to investigate as he lived locally. My recollection was that BV were fined and told in future they needed to have a referee’s inspection before a meeting was called off
