I think sometimes people who race motorbikes tend to forget just how dangerous it is, not in terms of actually dying but as far as what most people consider bad injuries. You ask the vast majority of people how many broken bones they've had or how many times they've been knocked out and the answer is likely to be in the 0 to 1 range and many of those who answer 1 will be a broken finger or toe which we tend not to include. However anybody who races bikes has been stood around laughing about crashes and injuries with their mates at a meeting and (if you're lucky like me) thinking I'm glad I've never broken a femur. Normal people don't sit in the pits until the end of an event with a broken collarbone because they don't consider it too bad and know there isn't much the hospital will do anyway 😂. Normal people are horrified at the thought of breaking a bone. I agree on the tribal aspect, without it Speedway would already be gone. You only have to look at attendances for individual meetings, if they don't feature really top riders, are testimonials or out of season the fans aren't interested. Another reason for the decline, people find it far harder to be passionate about a team from a town 60 miles away from theirs.

Confirmed

Alfred Aberg rides for Vargarna in 2027

It WAS due to be Kim Nilsson and Erik Riss. It may still be, but there’s a reason why these two were left last to be announced later than the others.

Totally agree as an ex Furness Flyers / Barrow Blackhawks follower I know how fickle most "Supporters" are they will watch a winning team but not one consistntly falling short of expectations

Where has he said this?

I think most Poole fans would agree gaming Kyle in the team but as we know in sport there can’t be to much sentiment,the management are there to put title winning teams together. Kennett and Lightcap will be the strongest reserve pair in the league no doubt and when Kennett moves up that will change the dynamic and it will change most months after that but effectively we will have heatleader points at reserve so that makes up for the lack of a number 5 like from previous years.

I would. Kyle would always be in my team.

Welcome back home Antti Voulas the guy flys around NS and is great to watch! Happy to have him back

Would Poole fans want Newman rather than Castagna.

Not guaranteed yet, the lights are available to put up ground work been done, but still awaiting a date from the electric company to put the electric into the stadium . Bainsy not happy with the electric company or the MP who won't answer any correspondence

Very good side.

Antti’s back

Only those new to British Speedway. Championship riders are as per the conversion rate.

Not for kings lynn though

Just need the riders now then🤔👍

If that’s the team with either Jakobsen or assessed 4.00 rider that’s a pretty handy heatleader trio there 💪,and fair play to Edinburgh for trying something different.

They are making concessions to the U21 rules so this is what possibly makes it under the limit Not a bad team may lose out on H13 and H15 but think they'll have one of the stronger no.6 and their middle order will be competitive against others Could sneak into the play offs depending on the other sides

Jordy qualifies for a 2.5% reduction

Floods and 7pm starts

The Only Combination that gives you a no1 and 2nd string is Jeppesen 8.24 & Jakobsen 3.78 Hausl 3.79 can’t see that happening 1. Jonas Jeppesen 8.24 2. N Jakobsen 3.78 / 4.00 assessed rider 3. Craig Cook 8.18 4. Jonathan Grahn 5.63 5. Kye Thomson 8.23 6. Jordy Loftus 3.66 7. Ben Whalley 2.00 Total 39.72 / 39.94

are we getting flood lights and evening meetings this year ? to be honest the 3pm starts suited me but id rather have later starts and better meetings

I think Klindt too he s got to be somewhere, and lambert , low av bargin

??? Both Kye Thomson and Craig Cook have higher averages than Bomber, so he wouldn't be number 1. Of the 2026 Championship riders not yet announced only Leon Flint (likely Glasgow), Zach Cook (not doing Champ) or Nikolai Klindt would start at number 1. Unless it's new to UK, or dropping down from Premiership on a converted average, then it looks like Klindt

Every club should have their tracks to suit own team ,no brainer but some are terrible at it, yea don’t understand, run a couple of preseason meetings helps as well
