B.V 72

Just picking out the Rowe v Etheridge comment I can only go off what I have seen.i saw Rowe in three Colts meetings last year.Out if 15 rides he won one race against National league heat leaders.He may do OK at home but away I think he is in for a very tough season.

All the talk is about Belle vue''s top 3 for me I will be happy if they hold their averages.I think Belle vue's biggest strength will be Bewley and Lidsey two young riders that in my opinion should well improve their averages next season.Dan dropped nearly a point off his 2018 average last year due to his horrendous injury and was beginning to look like his old self by the end of the season and with a full closed season to improve his health/strength I believe he will be our third heat leader in no time leaving Wright as a very good second string with easier heats. Lidsey is pure class and is going places fast with a full British season behind him to learn the ropes he should be pushing/overtaking Worrall for a top 5 spot either way leaving Belle vue with a very strong reserve.I also believe that Worrall who dropped nearly a point off his average has had the metal work removed from his leg which could see him return to the rider he was before his bad injury.All if's and but's but if this is the case Belle vue are in for a good season. All about opinions folks and this is mine.

Love to see so many different opinions this to me says that we could have a very even competitive league this year.Lots of if's and but's for a lot of teams it will be interesting to see which teams gel and which teams disappoint looking forward now for the season to start

Soz realised I was running late for work and had no time to finish the post i thought I had deleted it lol.What I was going to post was. We all want Dan and Robert to reach world class but the down side of our wants the way things are today is that if they do there's more than a good chance they will drop the British league.So wishing them success means I could miss out on the pleasure of watching Dan ride live every week and Robert when his team comes to the NSS.To me watching them on TV is just not the same. I am already gutted through his own success at missing Max blasting round the boards this year after watching him progress over the last few years. As British fans these days their success is our and British speedways major loss making our league weaker and weaker sad sad days.

We all want to see Dan and

If that's the case you could end up starting the season more than 2 points under the limit.

The other point of view is if you were Masters would you hang on to see if you were second choice with the possibility of no Prem spot or would you look to sign for another club who are still looking for a rider with your average while there are team places left.To me Masters is deffo Wolves bound.

Gutted no Leon most excting Colt to watch last year and i.m.o is already a better rider than Kyle.

What else are they going to talk about on this thread they can't talk about their Premiership team can they. Harsh comment but please accept ( like a lot of Poole fans have) that you are now a Championship club and move to the Poole championship thread and talk about speedway and the season ahead.Once you accept it the better you will feel about next season. like it or not its all you have got and you are much better off a than a lot of clubs you at least still have a speedway club.

Welcome great to have a new team in the league look forward to your visit to the NSS.

Agree Kildermand,s form will make or break the team.If he is poor we all live in hope that Bjerre,s average fits and wants to return to the club when he is ready to return to the British league.

All about opinions and mine is that we have a team of potential improvers Wright seams to be on an upward path, I think that Kurtz will improve with Belle vue as his home track, Lidsey as mentioned. Bewley was looking more like his old self towards the end of the season after his horrific injury and back on path, Worrall so I hear has just had the metal removed from his leg which could have been the cause of his poorer form last season.If and I say if all this comes together we have a very well balanced team but time will tell which one of us is right.

Don't under estimate Lidsey in his last 3 home meetings his scores were 11 + 2, 15 + 3, 13 + 1.Beating Batchelor twice Jensen twice Masters, Cook and R Lambert.This young man is very much on his way up.If he continues his improvement we could have Worrall as our reserve considering you class him as part of a strong top 5 I think we might do ok next season.

Or you could look from the point of view that Andersen,Harris and Nicholls are not getting any younger.Last season they all dropped there averages from the year before Harris 1.32 Andersen 1.23 Nicholls 1.14.Both Andersen and Nicholles also dropped there averages the year before as well so what makes you think they are all going to up their averages next year.Another point as well Tungate dropped his average by 0.98 as well last year plus Bech has never set our league alight and that's if he can handle a full season if they all continue on the downward path this team could be a disaster .But as you say they could all improve but to me Phils team is a massive gamble.

Worrall is having a change from Newcastle to you so you can let me know.As for Bewley(staying) and Kurtz,(moving) I will keep you updated or you can watch them on T V.

Read the thread.

Jack Holder put 1.57 on his average when he moved to Somerset yet stagnated when he moved back to Poole only adding 0.10 to his starting average.

The year Smith was with Swindon he ended up with a National league average of 8.41 Rowe joins you on a National league average of 8.37 and in my opinion in a weaker national league than 2018 so no theres not a lot of difference in the 2 when they signed for Swindon.

Inc minus 2.5% for British riders i think my maths are right ? Kurtz 7.54 Wright or Worrall 6.52 or 5.54 Tungate 6.59 Bewley 6.16 Holder 7.49 Lidsey 5.16 leaving 3.02 or 4.04 depending who is at number 2 Good solid team and not to pie in the sky.Tungate/Bewley and Worrall all dropped their averages last year so all are capable of improving and Lidsey should keep on improving next season plus one good reserve all the time.

Great news bring on the local derby.Makes me even more keen to visit Shefield in the league after all these years can't wait.

There you go people a thread just for you.Whinge away and leave the other threads to people who still like and enjoy talking about the sport.You have helped drive a good few away from this forum so let us please keep the ones we have left. Thanks in advance I live in hope (well at least until the first reply).

Nah just after a little respect for others and the world can never be perfect its full of people.

Every sport has its short comings look at the number one sport football. The money clubs more than not are the teams that win the league.More than half the clubs have no chance even before the season starts so not a fair competition is it.Its one of the the reasons I walked away from the sport(and no I don't go on football forums anymore).You can pull any sport apart if you can be bothered. I do know speedway has a lot of problems and that's why I started a thread for fans/ex fans to whinge about them instead of them popping up on other threads where people want to read about the title of the thread and not be bombarded with whinges. Now there's a thread if you want to whinge or read about peoples' whinges they have a thread to go to and get what it says on the tin.

No no Moxey its not your thread, The intention of the thread is that people can come on here to whinge without disrupting speedway threads.You can whinge about speedway and people can come on here and whinge about you and others whinging about speedway.So as long as its a whinge relating to British speedway/fans/ex fans/rules/promoters etc all are welcome.

Oop's I will come back later in hope that someone wants to talk about speedway.
