I've got them sixth in my prediction. Reserves just don't look strong enough compared to others.

Have you just made that up

Yep, there seems to be a mindset that we never had all this stuff in the seventies when the sport was booming in the UK so why do we need it now? We are fifty years on now, the world, sport and speedway has moved on and anything that can be done to make speedway more presentable and professional needs to be put in place. It's not as if people are scratching their heads trying to think how, the template is there in Poland and has been for years. The attitude over here is too much about cutting ones cloth too neatly sometimes, sensible speculation will lead to better accumulation in the long run with people who are currently outside speedway.

I'd say there is a very good chance that every single one of those riders will be doing the Polish Leagues on a Sunday and therefore unable/unwilling to ride on a Saturday over here.

Don't worry, after a dreadful Jan & Feb I've ordered a warm and sunny March so we'll be ok.

I suspect they will look much better in the flesh rather than an illustration.

I'm not sure we won't this year....there is a distinct top five and bottom four IMO, can see Berwick, Worky, Edinburgh and Plymouth losing at home to the other five quite a bit. Time will tell.

Leicester reserves poor IMO when you compare them with everybody else's, bar perhaps Sheffield but their top five is better. Think I put Leicester 6th and I stand by that.

If Emil and Doyle don't finish first and second in the averages again this year then my gob will be well and truly smacked.

I think Ipswich have sorted their bottom end issues out and Rew will be much different with a year under his belt. I'd also question if Fricke is as good as Doyle on GB tracks.

There are a couple of threads in the General Discussions section that you should be on by the sound of it

.....is back for a third season! SGP season preview and a chat with new King's Lynn number one Tobias Museilak in the first episode of 2024. https://linktr.ee/roundtheboards

Thanks. Reading between he lines it seems his departure might be linked to the fallout between Buster and Brady. A pity because he was decent on the mic.

Do you have a link please?

I think the argument is that Worrall, Masters, Becker, Schlein and Cook were probably much stronger at home compared to away than most riders in the league due to riding a unique track every Monday and they will struggle to replicate that scoring at their new tracks. As has been said BV had a good side hence the big wins last year. Every track has an advantage for its home riders but you've got to have a decent side with experience of the circuit, and it needs to be prepared the same every week. I don't see Leicester being as successful as others do but we shall see.

Absolutely. Just think where speedway could be today if that money had been spent properly and wisely. The decision makers throughout those years should be ashamed.

Spot on.

They were rearranged fixtures though.....if Kemp is signing for a team whose whole fixture list he can't commit to because of a foreign league then no facility should be allowed.

However, I'm still unable to see embedded tweets

It seems I do too

Why is a facility allowed?
