How much did it cost? Could they have held it in a "Legion" somewhere for free? Some looked like they spent a few quid on clobber too... No wonder the sport is struggling when ex riders would prefer to spend money on dressing up, going for a meal and drinking in a hotel etc etc..

Surely "we're" is refering to British Speedway in this case? If British Speedway is running one, two or three leagues? Then Oxford can decide which league to enter? Plus it says if we're running one two or three leagues, not of we're competing in one, two or three leagues.

What is the point of this post? If the riders are known then list them. If you don't want to list them because you're leaving it to the club to do, then why dangle the (meaningless) carrot.

You don't NEED to do all of those things if you're on a budget, though. Take any seat you're allocated, don't check a bag (it's only three days) and ask someone to drop you off (or take a bus). It's up to the individual what they want to pay. Regardless, my point is some people are making it out to be significantly more expensive than it is. I'm not claiming it's cheaper than holding it in the UK, but the cost of Tenerife is in the hundreds not the thousands. The environmental issue should be a bigger focus than the financial issue.

Stop beating about the bush and tell us what you really think!

Wouldn’t have TJ back. Fresh blood is needed. I’d take Patryk W at No.6 if he’s available. His assessed average is only 0.01 more than TJ,s from memory. He beat JD twice in his short stint last season I think?. Once dialled in I think he’d do very well around the AFA, and deffo up that assessed 5.00 imho.

Still sticking with my original 1-7 prediction of Fricke, Douglas, Masters, Lawson, Kerr, Riss & RS. 3 Returnees -> Fricke, Lawson and Kerr 3 Former Lions -> Masters, Douglas and Riss 1 Debutant -> RS (Possibly Leon Flint?????)

Shame we can't ban him like Boxhall lol.

Leicester team is all done & dusted . 3 return from 2023 3 have previously ridden for the Lions in past seasons. 1 makes his debut for the Lions A solid team but nowhere near a title challenging team.

I am sure that it’s purely coincidental that a firm of architects reside on that particular street in Stamford.

But if you live in the real world, and not a London bubble, these are the costs

I can't believe you're all ignoring the biscuits!

Don't think it's a rumour

I'm beginning to think, like others, that you are just on a wind up

I would prefer Jason Edwards

The last speedway book I read was Tai’s and to put it bluntly it was rubbish. Nobody should be releasing a book mid-career. If Jason Crump, Tony Rickardsson or one of the top names from the sport of the last 20-30 years (now retired) fancies writing an autobiography they can take my money.

I sent Phil a PM around a week ago, no reply so far. I contacted regarding the 'LIKE' button not working.

No. Basically the 5 teams from last year's Premiership but with Birmingham hopefully moving up from the Championship. Still a possibility of Oxford joining the Premiership, (as well as Championship), but personally I would be surprised if they do

Dan Thompson will have certainly learned more this year than he would have last year riding alongside messers Morris and Worrall!

Now we are reduced to abusing mechanics! We weren’t all made to be super models! No need for it in my humble opinion! Steve’s mechanic Neil is vastly experienced and does a good job! I know that for the Glasgow v Poole final he left home in Swindon at circa 8 in the morning drove to Glasgow via Cleethorpes, spannered at meeting then done the reverse trip getting home circa 8-30 Saturday morning! Then had bikes to clean and prep for the 2nd leg. He gets paid that is true and no disrespect to Steve it wasn’t for 24 hours with 16 of those at time and a half!! How many of us would be able or willing to do that? This topic is supposed to be about Ritchie Worrall, so please keep it on track!

Claus averaged 6.19 away from home in league matches this year, 7.23 including bonus points (riding with Basso). Don't understand why he's not in Glasgow's plans on a 6.24 average when over the league season he averaged 7.07, 8.00 included bonus points

I've never killed anyone whilst driving a train, a car, a motor bike and hope I never do,nor seriously injure someone. The impact must affect anyone with a conscience who does. The incident at Edinburgh when Craig's bike injured a photographer will have affected him deeply. He was totally blameless. Mental illness is silent, it is terrible and not to be underestimated or laughed at. Craig is many things but for gods sake let's cut him some slack and let him try to rebuild his career his confidence and his self esteem.

How many years do you need to get Starkey on good machinery.

Is Friday night a protected CL night for Lincolnshire teams only?
