Lukes average was 3.00 at Northampton,  if he moves out of the rising star programme he would get a 25% reduction in think, could not ride at no7 and if I'm right could not return to the rising star programme for the rest of the season.  The likes of Joe Thompson and Jason Edward will get the same 25% reduction as they will be to old for the programme now.

Lynn changed to Thursdays for the 2025 season to avoid Polish rearranged meetings clashing. I think Lynn would like to return to Thursdays in an ideal world as it gives extra time to turn the track round after weekend stock car meetings. 

It would give them more time to sort the track after a weekend of bangers as well.

🤣

If we get more top level riders over here then clashes could be inevitable.... However, if we only have a few top tier Polish riders, like currently, then as you say, hopefully they can work around it... Who knows maybe if will focus them on delivering some fit for purpose fixture planning across the season with home matches, weather permitting ,evenly spread out?..

That’s not as bad as it originally sounded reading the Speedway Star Mike. The Polish fixtures planned on those Thursdays will be out well in advance of our fixtures apparently, so we’ll then work around them. Some clubs will still be able to run on those Thursdays as well if they don’t have a rider riding in those Polish fixtures so it doesn’t seem much of a problem. We have plenty of gaps during the season anyhow.
