At his average replacements are in short supply regarding Hodder.

Ah I'm with you and to be fair it sounds the more likely route Lynn visiting Fricke is abroad and Rambo Lambo drafted in for the meeting carry on, teams not declared to as late as possible that used to really get me and one of the reasons I stopped going.

Just backs up the theory you've plenty of time on your hands. I'll ask if the sit on is fully operational 😃

This is national league racing for you - it's the lowest rung of the sport and a place for youngsters to earn their stripes and hone their skills. Back when I was a rider in the early 2000s you'd be hard pressed to run 15 races without some form of incident - St John's certainly earned their money back then and most likely still do! I've witnessed some truly horrifying crashes with being at so many (back then) conference league meetings. It's a part of the sport that not that many get to see, and it can come across as a bit unprofessional to those who are used to watching the professionals, but we've all got to learn somewhere! I bet even BZ was a little ropey when he first threw his leg over a 500!

Is Bangs expensive have a feeling it was mentioned in the past he had learned from Picko when it came to charging just thinking Ippo coming in late but with a bit of money behind him might have been the only team to meet his demands.

Luke manages to make the inside work well for him at Worky. He won the U19 final against Jody Scott and Cooper Rushen with 4 laps round the inside, think it had slickened off which helped him though.

It's on BSN.

Can't make it tonight, but was going to stream it from BVTV - anyone else having issues with ordering it? It's currently saying not available.

Looking forward to seeing if they are actually in race suits or just some hastily prepped race jackets. All we've been privy too so far are some dodgy AI mock up's

I am more concerned about Freddy than Mario, but as always, the question is: who would be better?

Can’t see a single Witch hitting double figures here. I fully expect to beat Belle Vue at Foxhall, but by less than we’ll lose tonight. They have a better side it’s as simple as that.

Doubt he will be any better tonight either

Lidsey is one of those riders isn’t he. He’s never going to be a serious player, but is handy to have in a third heatleader role.

Agree with others in a comfortable home win, Brennan and King might put up some resistance and maybe Edward’s and Bangs to an extent, 57-33

Ben Barker still has had no response from the bspl. Maybe the riders need to go on strike. Maybe they could start refusing to ride at Scunthorpe for instance

And you got four likes well done LOL. How many riders suffer injuries? The answer is ALL of them. Zischke returned on the bare minimum 3 average, what was the British rider sacrificed averaging before he was sent on the scrap heap? Kerr (another Brit) was also told to fu*k off. Ah good old Belle Vue. The hose wanderers who can flood a track to get meetings called off because a fixture doesn’t suit them.

Hodder has really not really improved with 2 Full Seasons at reserve.

I'm already a bit concerned about Mario Hausl and Freddy Hodder. Hodder looked dreadful at Ashfield last Friday and Hausl only achieving six points and a bonus point from 3 meetings after arriving on a 5 point average doesn't bode well imo. Maybe he will get better but i can eventually see him being shipped out like Ashton Boughen was a year ago. He just cannot gate.

Advance sales look poor, probably the lowest I have seen in the Grandstand. Blocks A and B are usually three quarters full by now, I would say one third full at best currently... And seats behind the tapes are a fifth full at best... There is even South Stand Car Parking available which usually goes a few days before the meeting.. BSN impacting maybe? There isn't any real threat of rain (admittedly it is Manchester).. Hopefully the South Stand is full given it is a whole £2 cheaper... To be honest £50 for a couple to stand watching Speedway does seem to be a tad too much...

Poor.

I can see a fairly comfortable home win. 54-36 Ipswich missing Doyle and Sayfutdinov is a hugely different team. Brennan, Musielak, King and Lawson can all perform OK at the N.S.S., but they will all need to be on form togerher. Hellstrom-Bangs could be a big scorer at reserve. He really wanted to be riding for Belle Vue ahead of any other British club, so tonight is his chance to show them they were wrong when he was begging them for a team place.

Nice. She is actually very good at her job if you've seen her present other sports. She has made it clear she will do her homework and we have to give her a chance. I'm sure Abbie wasn't knowledgeable when she first started...

"1. TORUN (Rated the team this year after getting rid of the deadweight and they look even stronger in 2026 imo) 6. LESZNO (Baffling team bulding by signing most of the 24 relegated side" That's what you wrote. I'd say it's quite obvious why I quoted you... Nothing baffling about the team Leszno have put out.

Don't know why you've quoted me when I clearly had Leszno 6th which is a middle of the road prediction. Only rethinking I'm willing to do at this stage is dropping Torun down to 3rd because of Dudek reverting back to his old self after a freak 2025 season much like Drabik.
