Think your suggestion is very realistic,it would at least bring some credibility back into GB speedway.Poland do not use guests for missing riders (injury or otherwise). it gives junior riders a chance too progress.It would do the same over here.(At a different level obviously )but credible.

Try a sample size of more than just one meeting next time, how about comparing a British GP with some of the tripe Leicester has served up over the years for example.

Janowski replacing Holder.

Sheffield’s last two matches have shown that R/R at home and guests away for Jack Holder aren’t brining in the points he would have scored. If they look to replace Jack Holder and possibly Jye Etheridge what points would they have to play with? Wonder if they might go down the route to try and make team more solid down lower end and try find two riders to do that (easier said than done I know) say Charles Wright and a.n.other?

Actually this season he's only in as an injury replacement... but I take your point and was actually thinking very much the same thing last night, when he first came to the UK a couple of years ago as a "full time" GP rider I, and maybe Lynn, thought they were going to get an 8 or 9 pointer, turns out he's more of a 6 or 7 pointer, a welcome addition to the league anyway and somebody who appears to want to ride here 👍

1) Bowes is injured not "injured" 2) Poole didn't "sneak" Luke Harrison in at reserve, they made a shrewed guest selection 3) Every guest selection will probably be stronger than Bowes because he's been in poor form all year. Poole are hardly likely to say "we'll only sign weak guests to match Bowes scoring" 4) when Jacobsen was missing, on his assessed, did Workington refuse to give Zischke a r/r outing because Jacobsen wasn't really a "5 point rider", or only use 3 point guests? Of course not, they'd plan to be the strongest the rules allowed. 5) with a strong choice of guest, I expect Poole could romp this.

i think most ipswich riders was, pits looked empty as i thought i hope there was no first bend incident and one of your 2 riders couldnt participate in a rerun

His pit bay was empty before the end of the Superheat.

Or do you mean the parade before the meeting??

hes just taking the piss now, or is he just winding the fans up on purpose, what harm does standing on back of a truck for 5 mins cause

I've been on of his harshest critic's but he's been fantastic this year, will be a shame if he misses out on a return due to the silly 40 point limit

The obvious guest we could have used was Tate Zischke! (Unless Edinburgh had asked him first) For a home match, I make it that only Josh Pickering and Richard Lawson could not guest for Kyle at the moment from the Championship averages. Of the Premiership only riders I think Ben Cook's average would allow him to guest for Kyle. Possibly some riders weren't in the country though? If I remember correctly Plymouth were racing Berwick that night ruling out the likes of King, Nichols and Kildemand that not.

Tough tough decision to be made. Home track specialist yes, expensive average for away from home 💯

How on earth do you expect to find 100+ riders willing to make British Speedway their priority over Poland? It's a nice dream, but i'm afraid that's all it is. Perhaps a more realistic aim would he Championship riders having to put British Speedway first (don't allow facilities for missing fixtures to race in foreign leagues).

Hope you enjoyed the meeting and overall happy with the riders and management Regarding King in 2027 it will be easy for Mayfield to move him on, but he's been a great servant to the witches and British Speedway

Enjoyed this meeting on the stream as I couldn’t be there. My concern for the Lions was the engine room but Howarth was great along side the R/R infill. Kvech is a disappointment isn’t he? Look at his average. He’s only in the GP because the authorities are hell bent on having representatives from as many countries as possible. It was great to see Rushen ruffle a few feathers and is doing a great job in the main body of the Stars team. Moving slightly off topic, I’ve watched two meetings on streams this week ( tonight and BelleVue on Monday) with a friend who I’ve introduced to our sport/circus. After witnessing racing at the apparently superb/dogs b*ll*cks circuit at Belle Vue and then the awful, gate and go Leicester track, guess what his decision was when I asked him which of the tracks he’d like to visit the most?

Representing your Country should be the pinnacle outside of individual World Champion. Being forced / blackmailed to prioritise British Speedway that is constantly downgrading is so shortsighted. Even more so if it ends up one league in 2026. One league will push British Speedway on a par or lower than the German Bundesliga & Poland's Liga 2 and our young boys don't deserve that pressed upon them.

Brilliant to watch Tom win Heats 13 & 15 tonight on the BSN stream. Hopefully that's going to be a turning point in his season, Looks like Scotty Nicholls has finally dialled back into Foxhall again with back-to-back big scores. Danny King has been fantastic this season, Going to be a tough decision for Mayfield in 2027 because Danny's average is going to sky rocket if this continues to a point where it could be anything between 7.50 and 8.00.

I know some people questioned Scott's inclusion but i'd say he's definitely earning his place this season. Good to see Tom back getting wins and oh wasn't Danny missed getting 4-12 love that!

I would imagine the link goes to Alcoholics Anonymous.

That was actually the most enjoyable meeting and atmosphere at Foxhall this year for me, to watch Brennan walk around interacting with the fans for the Ben fund and then go out in his following three races and really put on a show, as a true witch, that was the best thing I could have witnessed. Good team managing with Scotty and Brennan for 15 to get the 5-1 and then the 5-4 in heat 16. The only downside for me, is the fact Lawson yet again doesn’t do the parade… his time has to be up. Strong management decisions are needed on his future. Straight swap for Adam Ellis for me!

Same as Poole fans do …. Just that we know our track is awful but Poole fans somehow are blinkered about theirs But as I said if you attack it properly like Pickering did and Bewley does then it’s ok …. Holder is always beat before he starts
