This issue has been going on since the season started in late March, and by his own admission is still an ongoing issue. Far too much of a risk in banking on him getting back to 100% next March. There were far too many duck eggs in the closing weeks of the season for my liking, not a good sign. We surely have to look elsewhere. One thing is pretty certain though, the team should be wrapped up far quicker than it was this year for obvious reasons. The bulk is probably already done. I suspect you’re right, the league structure & points limit is probably already agreed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do think Rew will end up at Belle Vue to replace Lidsey *preparing for pelters but they are just some breakfast time musings and sums Very interesting with predicted teams. Couple of points to put out. (1) If they go with the same points limit as last season, the limit last season was 39 points for the top 6 of the team. So the Kings Lynn and Ipswich teams that you have put together would be over the limit. (2) James Pearson is an Aussie, and will not be part of the Rising Star Programme so a different Rising Star needed for Birmingham. On the subject of Rising Star riders I am amazed that you have not thought about any of the clubs would sign Jason Edwards or Jordan Jenkins. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope if isn't for Musielak though, would be a poorer league without him in it. Woffinden is 100% at Sheffield next year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said, breakfast musings before any caffeine! Thought it was 40 not 39! Forgot the likes of Brennan were ‘reduced’ at the start of the year! Pearson, given their loyalty to him and that he rode in the NDL this year, just a thought that this well talked about chat between Tolley and Morris could have included using him as one. I’m sure it will be Flint-if Oxford don’t end up moving up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackett 220 Posted October 13, 2023 Think most in speedway would want to see Sayfutdinov back in British Speedway next season if the format allows. Cetrtainly Warner Bros Sports will do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,050 Posted October 17, 2023 If Ipswich don’t sign up Emil and Doyle they will lose a fair number of fans These 2 put bums on seats and provide huge entertainment…. I’ve bask going Foxhall since 1985 and I can’t remember the atmosphere being as good We won the cup and almost (should have ) won the league I love to win a trophy and the cup final night was epic….. however I also like to enjoy watching Not sure how this fits 1. Emil 2. ? 3.King 4. ? 5. Doyle 6. Rew 7. Dan Thompson What does that leave? Is there room for Brennan or one of the Cook brothers ….. even if this means Rew going to 2 or 4 Got to say wouldn’t want Erik back …. Nice guy but so far off it and looks hesitant in races Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
