Common sense to get Speedway back at Armadale. The land owners were never going to sell the land for the price asked, so it's good news on both sides to continue with speedway.

JanAndersen 822 Posted October 27, 2022 Blobby’s team will be close I think. Thomsen or Sedgmen the choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gazc 7,098 Posted October 27, 2022 Pleased for the fans, takes away the uncertainty if running or not. Also let’s the promotion plan team building early knowing next season is secured. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup -that looks about right to keep the total under 41 ( with 2 x 2.5% reductions ). JS seems to have had a transformation this year, but without that I would have given Kye the gig instead. Sam, Cookie and Sedgy all in the same team would be a formidable trio and they all gel well together too as has been witnessed in the past. However if points limit drops to 40 I would doubt if any team could afford to spend 10.58 on a #1 to leave only 29.42 for 6 others. AFIK nothing official yet on limits so who knows ? Main thing is we are running in 2023 so that is one heck of an early Christmas present ! Great credit to our management and to the stadium owners for making it happen.

Take a heat 4, Lawson & Ablitt vs Pickering & Hook, you'll likely get 2 riders miles behind the others. I'm not suggesting a 38 point limit is the way to go, but if every team was the strength of Birmingham & Newcastle i.e Auty & Pearson vs Starke & Complin the racing should be closer!

Never want to see clubs close. Hope the Monarchs can now find a new stadium for 2024. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
