“Week and a half” is the likely timescale for a sale confirmation. So we’re looking at middle of next week, not this week.

A lot of 2,1’ in there but it’ll suffer from a lack of heat winners and will get outgunned especially on the road where you can see a good few hidings coming. Hopefully whoever told Noaksey Thorssell was unlikely, is the same source that told him Adams might be the new Team manager 🤪 He was the make or break signing for this team IMO and would have made it more palatable. If the last place is filled by Jenkins or similar (with the greatest respect to him) then it’s a stinker of a team let’s be honest. The level of support will be interesting. The fans are used to seeing a sprinkle of stardust at Foxhall but are now going to see the fella that was third in the averages, suddenly jump two places to be the out and out number 1. There is some decent solid riders in there don’t get me wrong, but the problem is they’re all riders that should be slotting in at 3 and 4, not heatleader positions where they’ve proven to struggle in the past. Musielak particularly. Feel a bit for the new owners. They’ve come in late in the day and have been dealt a pretty poor hand. Only thing I’d say is let’s wait and see if they’re proactive because options will develop later in the season.

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright... (But not for Premiership Speedway due to doublng up being so important)... Music by Elton John Lyrics not by Bernie Taupin...

Any white smoke coming out above the BSP Tower in Rugby? Is the Union Jack flying outside to mark whether King 'Arry is in residence? Imagine being any reasonable sized comoany looking to get involved in sponsoring UK Speedway's "flagship league", and witnessing such a way of working?... "We are interested, but the optics of only six teams doesn't look like something with too much relevance"... "Well, technically, we only currently have four, but don't you worry about that, we have a cunning plan, and, rest assured, we are masters when it comes to cunning plans"...

No last places boys........ 😁

Yeah, but they will never say sorry

Yea quite possibly. And similar that we don’t know what has been going on behind the scenes.

Unlikely was what was said to me today, probably won't do the UK

In the interests of Speedway...

Yes - minus if required

It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation, and it's getting more and more absurd

Wasn’t mentioned but you’d hope so. Thorssell on a cheap average is the only thing that saves this team really.

On what average? I presume it will be assessed down to the exact decimal point that fits under the allowed team average total...

Plus Thorssell then....

Certainly not the most inspiring team on paper, but I guess that was to be expected. Let's hope they they don't start with s few loses on the trot,, otherwise the safe hands Chris is leaving the team, might not look so safe when the crowd numbers drop off

Changing your username to Letticewrecker then??

Now posting as tapewrecker

He’s been on a pushbike, but not a Speedway bike I don’t think although I could be wrong.

Has Brennan been on a bike since the last time he broke his leg?

Brennan, King, Lawson, Musielak, Nicholls, Edwards is definitely six of the seven.

Trouble is, Foxhall is a long way from most tracks, and Championship circuits are a major trek: Oxford 144 miles* Scunthorpe 189 miles Poole 205 miles Redcar 265 miles Plymouth 310 miles Workington 340 miles Berwick 357 miles Glasgow 417 miles Edinburgh 425 miles * even Oxford is a bugger of a journey from east Suffolk - I know, because I've driven it many times (when Son #2 was at Uni).

He was walking back to the van with his bodyguard Vinny 😀

Think you need specs mate 😜

Found myself a new hobby. Tortoise racing.

not quite 😄
