    Why is a facility allowed?

    Edinburgh Monarchs Academy 2024

    I'm torn on this one, it's absolutely a common sense decision as we don't want riders like Perry missing out and its essentially a training/development league but as a look for speedway in general its not good. All in all though it's a better outcome than the lad not racing in the NL.
  3. That is sad to hear. Think he was the one who came up with the Silver Machine theme and his financial backing enabled signings like Rickardsson, Crump, Adams and Pedersen to happen 1999-2001. RIP.

    Plymouth Gladiators 2024

    Not for me. I applaud them for improving the dimensions of the track and trying to improve their product, and its interesting to see what they've been doing and how. And at the end of the day the motorway blade they have there which has been in photos will smooth it all out to a billiard table before the season starts anyway.

    Well done to Hagon but it was five decent riders, him and not a great deal after that.

    2024 Premiership Predictions

    Somebody has to finish top and somebody bottom but in a ideal world everyone would win the majority of their hone meetings with good racing to keep the home punters happy. What people will soon tire of is clatterings on home shale where the away team rocks up and gates their way to 55+. We've had plenty of those at Lynn over the last few years Some have suggested that away wins might be at a premium this season and I hope thats right. The same for injuries, rain offs and therefore guests & R/R would be nice too.

    Brummies 2024...

    Maybe the riderssigned represent the best of who actually want to ride in the UK? It's all very well people talking about Zmarzlik, Laguta and Dudek but if they don't want to cone then it means zip.

    2024 Premiership Predictions

    Without wanting to nit pick I'd say Kerr is stronger than Cook and Flint should be the best number seven in the league, and that PB should suit him much better than MG. Without doubt Brum are the seventh best team on paper and a good season would be to win more home meetings than not, can't see any away points unfortunately. What is vital is that there is a good team spirit and togetherness, and that the foreign based riders show up every week. Few injuries and a consistent hone track week to week will also help. As I've said elsewhere the Brum home meetings for Lynn appeal to me as much as any due to seeing different riders, and the last time PP and Milik rode at the AFA they were a great watch, fence scraping and overtaking etc.

    Brummies 2024...

    I can only speak for myself of course but seeing some different riders will make me go and see Brum this coming year, Milik and Pawlicki have been good value at Lynn in the past.

    Brummies 2024...

    Weakest of seven as expected but PP and Milik are riders I'll pay to watch. To be really competitive and not finish bottom they are going to need a couple of the bottom four to have a breakthrough season.

    Brummies 2024...

    Comparing any top two with Ipswich is daft, they will be the best pairing by a million miles.

    Workington 2024

    6.32 according to the signings thread.

    Workington 2024

    I'm sure there are but it would be preferable to get over there earlier on a Saturday and be well rested for Sunday. Or to be there for practice on a Saturday. A no brainer considering he has got his foot in the door at Wroclaw and it's a case of staying with Redcar where he did so well last season.

    Workington 2024

    Quite a difference if you plan to be available for Poland on a Sunday afternoon.
  16. I'd say the riding order almost picks itself....MPT/Wojdylo at 2, Tarasenko at 5 and Basso/Iversen either way round at 3&4.

    Oxford Spires 2024

    Let's hope he doesn't shaft anyone, we'd rather see him in full flight. I'm sure once he throws his leg over his bike for the first time he'll be well set. Nobody will be board

    Oxford Spires 2024

    Look forward to seeing him dart round other riders.

    Poole 2024

    Tight from 6th-10th!

    Oxford Spires 2024

    I think I went Lynn and Leicester in my prediction thread post, therefore a top four of. Ippo, Sheffield, BV & Oxford.

    Winter Meetings

    That's the one! Cheers

    Oxford Spires 2024

    Don't see them as champions but all things being equal they are play off certainties I'd say.
  23. Bagpuss

    Brummies 2024...

    Better than the Twitches top two?
  24. There we are folks, it's there in black and white.....taps thinks we're gonna win the league
