Mid Feb, no concrete confirmation on how many clubs competing in the top tier and no idea (officially) who is behind the Ipswich take over. No signings either. Its mental . People wonder why the sport is not taken seriously. As I read elsewhere, this has been the worst close season I have ever known of. Absolute mess. The posts I have read on Scunny signing a team over the limit just about sums the state of the sport up.

Press and Practice Wednesday 1st April

Could it be that they are waiting to have the Northampton situation concluded before slotting in the final 2 If as some think the likes of Lawson Wright etc are embarked to be there they would be available if the new venture doesn't proceed

Not only content but what a striking poster, would have made you take a second look.

I haven't read it fully but I believe Wright said that without a Premiership berth if he didn't have a ride in Polish League with Landshut he'd have quit speedway because he couldn't make it pay.

First is in the top 5 if you think about it. Unless you mean 2nd bottom

Top5 I reckon.

League winning team that I reckon

Good signing on a 5.25 imo, If Brennan is the No.1 then silverware is a very long stretch imo so the next best option is to build a Team to win at Home.

Looking solid rather than strong, lacking an out and out number 1 at the moment but if they could squeeze Max James in at reserve with Mitchell my calculator leaves a Crang sized hole. That would generate a team that should win at home but has potential to go missing away.

Out of the 4 Confirmed 1-7's, I think Sheffield win the League at a canter tbh. I also think Leicester are being overlooked, Douglas and Thompson get better year on year, Morris is on a false GSA due to the white powder imo and Masters has been a No.1 in a much stronger PREM so I don't see a reason as to why he cant get back to those levels tbh.

Been confirmed tickets on sale end of this month

You might want to revise that, because Scotty is in the team...

I don't think that's an issue - why rebel against not being paid by scoring less and thereby earning less when you do get paid. The fact he was riding at No.1 in 2024 and is now down to 5.89 suggests a rider on the downward to me rather then plenty in the tank. What he does have in his favour is that he's not a gating dullard.

What I would say if defense of Tungate is that he was a No.1 in 2024 and his 5.89 holds significant value in a weakend League. Was he being paid by Oxford hence the problmes in 2025?

So I reckon it will be 10.5% off Ablitt average with both discounts applying so he would start the season on a 4.46/4.47 average. Meaning that he will start just below Lambert who has a 4.48 average I think.

Wolverhampton Witches. I'm not against it at all, Looks a good Team.

Still 2 weeks left 😛

How about 1) Lindgren 8.13 2) Nicholls 5.39 3) Musielak 6.63 4) Thorsell 4.50 5) Brennan 7.05 6) Jenkins 4.50 7) Edwards R/S Total: 36.20

Just think the PL is a stretch for Scott now as he would be doubling up !

I’d put Nicholls in over Tungate. Scott is still awesome around Foxhall & would out score Tungate comfortably at home. May not be so good away but you’d get more out of Nicholls over a season than Tungate. Also no concern if he will turn up or not.

Been confirmed tickets on sale and of this month

Doesn't have a massive hitter but it looks rock solid. 1. T. Brennan 7.05 2. R. Tungate 5.89 3. R. Lawson 6.81 4. D. King 6.50 or N. Klindt 6.46 5. T. Musielak 6.63 6. J. Thorssell 4.50 7. J. Edwards (RS) = 36.98 / 36.94

Completely ignoring the fact that out of the 8 they lost their opponents scored 50+ points on 6 occasions. Compare that with 2 for Sheffield, 3 for Ipswich, and 4 for Leicester. Hence the reason I mentioned the need for huge home wins to pick up many aggregate bonus points. Belle Vue had the best home record in the league last season but finished 4th in the table, 5/6 points behind the other 3. Away form was their downfall and with 3 of those 4 riders returning this year it could be the same again this season.
