Club owe it to Tom imo. Can't watch his confidence be destroyed and then bin him off imo, It's only right that the Club stick by him through the re-building process. Tom could've signed elsewhere as an engine room rider or a No.5 instead of waiting all winter to ride @ No.1 for Ipswich.

I get that he can ride in the champ but he won’t. There is no way he will add the championship to his season now. He will probably see it as a step back, he has just been unfortunate that things didn’t go well at Bydgoszcz this season, it’ll be a reset at the end of this season and go again with a different Polish club in M.2

I wouldn't call it a disaster, not even sure it's a 5 horse race for the play-offs. Lynn having dropped 4 points at home (none scored away) and Witches having gained 2 points away (none dropped at home) is a great position for Witches to be in. My first thought was, its a great result for Lynn, as they try to avoid the wooden spoon. Don't really know what's happened to Brennan? Not the form I expected.

POOTLE 🐩

Really, what football did he see in the height of summer? I ask because football season finishes early May and doesn’t start until mid August.

Can't see that happening, his current converted average would be 10.69!

I must admit having gone through all the heats I am a bit curious as to what changes should have been made? Batch was riding well. The only one perhaps missed apart from. Lidsey in heat 13 would be heat 8 and frankly Jeppeson was unlikely to lower Dans T colours! NKI wasnt really great but not convinced he would have improved on what he got in those heats I also disagree with him being clueless at Ipswich a few weeks ago he was on it with the reserve changes etc and forced a last hear decider!

Really enjoyable evening, some good racing and a Lynn win, what's not to like. Witches finally sent packing.

Bit of a disaster but these things happen, in terms of what's needed for the league it keeps it a five horse race for the play offs - for now! Lets hope the right people are helping Tom right now - form is temporary and all that! Agree with the comments from Mike above - he's having to ride against out and out no1s each meeting and that's not helping right not but he will get there!

Just wondering how much longer Dickson will stick with Dan T at No.2. I know he has always liked a strong 1 & 2 pairing but this season the riders in these positions are the best two by some margin. The Lions can get away with this at home, but away the other partnerships are fragile. Everyone seems to think that the play off positions are nailed on with Lynn & Northampton missing out, but as things stand, the Lions look far from comfortable.

Now the gypos are in again!

Jonas was an impressive winner of heat 2 from the back with a very clever ride, puk looked out of sorts all night while Batch was on fire! Jonas could easily have replaced puk in one ride and probably Lidsey and/or Harrison, they were only 2 points down at heat 9, then blew it conceding 2 5-1's courtesy of puk and Lidsey

Tom B is probably the bottom No1 in the league... A league of just six number ones... Meaning he rides against his opposite number three times per night, if he takes Ht15... Out of those six Number Ones, three are World Class GP riders, and one is a Polish top tier HL... And then you have No5's like Bewley, Doyle, Kvech, and Pickering with C Holder at a three.. Both Brennan, and also Lidsey, made great progression riding at No3 with two World Class HL's at one and five in their teams.. With just five teams to race, and three of them having top level GP riders at No1, being a non top level GP rider, and riding against them several times a night, can be both an average and a confidence killer.. And Ryan Douglas as the other No1 in the league is a very solid rider... With so few teams you won't be getting too many "easy" rides to increase your confidence should you need to... And not riding in Poland regularly won't help... Can a Championship side fit him in?...

How bad of a team do you have to be to only score 36 against a side with 3 'Rising Stars'?? 🤣🤣

It's very reminiscent of what was done at Long Eaton as well. The 'save the stadium' campaign was strong, but obviously with speedway fans being more regionalised and stock car fans following drivers rather than locations, the speedway side was far stronger. When the developers were not making any progress, they came up with a new plan which would rotate the track through 90 degrees, freeing up land that could be developed for industrial purposes. This development would generate the funds for the new track. Of course, this was never going to happen, but unfortunately the leaders of the campaign group were speedway fans and they bought the lies. Obviously, without pit space there was never going to be any stock cars there again, so a wedge was immediately driven between the two factions as the stock car fans felt like they were being sold out. This 'new speedway track' at Brandon will have exactly the same effect on the campaign groups at Coventry if the speedway side show any signs of weakness towards it. There is no way that a new stadium could survive purely on income from speedway and the developers know this.

He can simply miss some matches over here... Several riders have signed contracts with clubs who know their riders will be unavailable for Wednesdays and Saturdays... And even Thursdays in the Premiership...

I believe you thousands wouldn’t

A few of them had an off night, sometimes that happens,, now if it keeps happening then thats different. Danny has been smashing the points in so far,, unfortunately he didn't tonight,, but he will be back on it next time.

He is still under contract with Bydgoszcz and needs to attend each match still, whether in the line up or not.

Agree and he is going through a difficult patch but on his day he can give most a run for their money. Maybe a change of riding order but you cannot lose the faith in an accomplished competitor going through a purple patch. He will come good. Stick with him, he has talent.

Ouch will now claim that Doyle is one of Belle Vue’s boys where everyone else knows that riders are no longer owned by clubs and ride for who they want to each season.

He’ll fit nicely in the Xmas advent calendar

Honestly think Tom would benefit from riding in the Championship for the rest of the season to give himself extra rides and boost his confidence, he’s lost his Polish ride so surely has space in his calendar now.

Only flow he’s gonna get is drifting down the river on a boat with no awes
