Let’s be fair rules are very fluid within U.K. speedway, we regularly have five year plans that last one year and the speedway regulations change yearly so rules generally mean nothing. Also what the BSPL regularly state has often been proved to be totally unreliable and bears no relation to common sense at all.

Solid team with a reserve who was flying at the start of the year, so much so that he ended up at No 1 and then got injured, the team was confident had an excellent team manager and always had an in form reserve.

No problem with working to a budget but teams in whatever league the management choose need to be competitive, if you cannot afford to be competitive in the Premier league then run in the Championship. I seem to recall Chapman’s King Lynn team did rather well in the Championship past decades.

Why don’t you ask your mate, he should know

I smiled when a lot of people talked up Bellego before the season started, he is awful and looks so slow

Clearly everyone is watching it on the TV

Why, you do it every day

The new face is Rob Lyon, standing in for Alex Brady apparently

A bit difficult as we are allowed riders up to 6.45 and Bombers current GSA is 7.45

Anything above Andersen’s GSA of 4.96 would put him in the top 5.

No it isn’t but once entered (his reasons for entering are beyond me) I think he is committed, I think the late fixture switch was important because clearly he would have had his travel plans in place. Quite why riders who are well past their GP standard and riders that are clearly not up to anywhere near GP standard enter the FIM qualifiers is beyond me but their you go.

Pretty sure an FIM qualifier takes precedent over a Premier League fixture in any event, but this was a late re arranged match so Harris is hardly at fault for this one

Indeed

Good Question

Peterborough Panthers 2023 connection ?

For Prague that wasn’t too bad, decent racing with a few overtakes. For Woffy that was awful, just doesn’t look quick enough, Bewley and Lambert are both better.

Thanks for that Tim,

Jack Holder didn’t have any problems Thursday night, even when he missed the gate.

Anyone know when the draw for tonight’s GP will be decided

I watched the riders parade which showed the terraces as the riders went round the track, from what I saw the crowd looked dreadful, BSN showed the queues outside when it mentioned the delay, the main gate queue showed 30 at best which is why I mentioned it. The queue seen was just in front of the ticket office and at that point didn’t extend into the car park let alone the street, this was at the published start time of 7.30pm.

Well I watched it on BSN and it looked dreadful, I can only compare it to when we went to watch Peterborough there the other week and it didn’t look any better.

Would he hell, your team is based on King and Riss backing up the dynamic duo, when them or their replacements don’t turn up your vulnerable as proved by a solid 1-7 Wolves team, generally Batman and Robin get you home but it’s going to fail on occasions.

Well listening to Craig Cook recently it’s clear that the Witches tried him first to replace Riss, it must have been clear to everyone that Barker wasn’t the answer but that’s the problem with top heavy teams, King and Riss were important to the teams success this year. Wolves are riding well at present and now Becker is back a very solid top five especially at fortress Monmore, and with a free scoring reserve they are currently a danger to any team.

Laguta will improve, but not sure the rest of the team will.

I did enjoy watching Brady on the heat 15 interview, he has obviously been watching Hawkins when he loses, another smacked arse face. Not a happy bunny.
