  1. Past hour
  2. If you read page 20 of Buxton’s programme for 21 June, Garrity is shown as Leicester Lions 2027.
  3. We need more than one GP in the UK - sadly none of the current 'stadia' really can come up to the capacity of Ipswich which can at hold 10k, NSS nice though it is and I am a big fan of the track and set up needs top be bigger for these events in my opinion. The Oasis thing for 2027 is a blow for the NSS if it can't happen but would imagine 2028 return - definitely maybe?
  4. With MJJ and Madsen already qualified I doubt they will give a wc to bring a third Date in.
  5. October averages Lawson 6.80 King 7.35 Musielak 8.08 Brennan 5.91 Nicholls 5.79 A few takeaways here for me. You simply HAVE to include Brennan in a 2027 team on 5.91. We know he’s better than that and you can’t persevere all year with him struggling, only to allow another team to benefit on an artificially low average. I wouldn’t have Lawson back and I don’t think many would after this years shenanigans, BUT, he’s another that’s seen his average drop by riding a position higher in our team than he should have been. He’ll actually make a decent signing for someone on that average. The two standout this year have easily been King and Musielak. But, King has ran out of steam towards the end of this year in both leagues and his form has dipped, and he’s now on an average where if we do have real aspirations and ambitions, it’s time to cut ties I’m afraid and go in a different direction. He’s easily my Witches rider of the year though. Tobi, I’m now a little uncomfortable on his average also. 6.63 up to 8.08. He’s seems to fluctuate between a 6+ average and an 8+ average and the time to pick him up, is after one of his poor years like we did this year. You’re not fitting in Tobi on that average, with two heatleaders above him so if he’s retained, he’ll be the number 1 or 5. I know the immediate reaction of some will be you can’t leave him out he’s been brilliant, and he has, but you have to build smart and make difficult decisions if you want to win things and be successful. If we now have the contacts and wherewithal to get the “big names” Coleman mentioned Saturday, then my opinion is we can do better than Musielak at 1 and 5 as harsh as that sounds.
  6. Today
  7. Ipswich, Cant understand this, not the greatest stadium in the country and very poor racing, a bit of a come down for British speedway. What next WTC at Iwade.
  8. Choose the right meeting, good racing, not much dust and quite a good crowd. Really enjoyed this one.
  9. There are rumours that move may not happen, with the news released stating leagues are looking at the U21 reserve suggestion, other leagues are trying to use it to relax the restriction, we will see
  10. Could you ask Poole why they scored 57 points against Edinburgh? I would have liked a 8-10 point lead for Poole to make the second leg more interesting.
  11. We’d walk it 😁 Just change Glasgow’s number 1 please. Don’t like that one bit 😉

  14. And in the days before the internet and streaming you never saw your team race away unless you actually went, home wins were the key as only a very tiny percentage of fans went to away matches unless it was a local derby. Winning at home will always be important to maintain crowds, Exeter was always about winning at home by as much as they can and hoping it would be enough to seal the bonus point which it often was. Certainly under a play off format, winning all your home matches and collecting all the bonus points should see you qualify.
  15. And if my uncle was my Aunt !!! You would have still been in the comp with a round to go LOL Around £19,800 going into the final round i make it.
  16. I would like to say well done Robert ,wanted BZ to win but was beaten fair and square a certain ironyBZ winning by a point last year and losing by the same margin this year !
  17. I think the fact Berwick have a 100 percent record at home proves fans will turn up to watch a winning side at home. Throw in a cup final after knocking out the league champions elect as well and its no wonder the crowd was big. Fans dont care about the racing on the whole , they want to see their team win. Exeter were proof of this, great spectacle of a track with you being so close to the action but mainly gate and go, heavy home wins every week and they had good crowds right up until they shut despite usually being rubbish away from home. Morris will be one of the signings of the season next year I am sure, he has been flying the second half of the season.

  19. That should be enough for Gorzow to triumph at home with an aggregate win. Poznan juniors did great in this match at home but wont do as well away especially with Bednar back in the mix. I expect its been raised before but hard to understand the Polish system not allowing guest riders to cover injuries. It's big business, big money, and even when the club has done everything possible to secure a competitive team their future is still at the mercy of injuries and rider unavailability.
  20. Yesterday
  21. Marek Cieslak has claimed that Torun doctored the track for Robert Lambert. There was virtually no overtaking in the latter part of yesterday's meeting and Cieslak claims this was done intentionally by Torun as this suited Lambert.
  22. Bewley holder will definitely be picked Would not be surprised if Lindgren gets a pick .He s always raised his game when it s come to the gps and I think he s still can mix it at this level . Thomson has won a gp so would imagine that will stand him in good stead Michielsen could be in with a shout Kvech i personally he s below the standard of the above riders but they could throw him back in Will be interesting who gets the picks
  23. Think this will be totally one sided Scunthorpe will do no way near enough in the home leg if they actually win it. Second leg a formality.
  24. Think you make a good point about the change in order as I agree 3&4 partnership is vulnerable a more balanced look would be 1 Cook,2 Rushen,3 Kerr,4 Cairns,5 Lawson. think that looks solid in every partnership,and have felt for a while now the 3&4 partnership has caused a little in balance imo.
  25. Congratulations to personal responsibility and thanks to r/r for running the competition Being a tight Yorkshireman I am happy to make it to the end and be £200 up😆
