Think only Lawson rides in Denmark from the Poole side. Poor likely they are just bad at organising and planning ahead. -
If by “basic managerial mistakes” you’re referring to his selection of Lawson and King over Musielak against Belle Vue, that’s just your opinion. My opinion, along with a few others around me at the time, understood the selection. Musielak got nowhere near Kurtz and Harris in 13, not sure why you’re confident he would have two heats later. It’s very easy with hindsight. On him throwing a “tantrum” (it was hardly that despite sensationalist “fuming” headlines in the write up), he criticised the away team on WitchesTV mid meeting whilst Ipswich were six up so he wasn’t using it as an excuse. His point was the Leicester manager and riders got in to the referees head and forced Bob Ellis to tyre pack the track despite the track man telling them it would only make things worse. It DID make things worse, and Hurry’s point was they should have listened to those with experience of track prep. Now everyone is entitled to have their own view on that and that’s fine, Leicester and their supporters will obviously have a different one. But Hurry is also entitled to have his opinion also and he had a right to voice it. Mountain out of molehills spring to mind here. Let’s not get in to the train of thought that we should gag those involved and stop them airing their views and voicing their opinions. I want them speaking their mind and would like to hear more of it in the future. It would have been good to see the reporter get Dickson’s view also and it was disappointing that wasn’t forthcoming (unless I missed it).

Belle Vue (Home) Rider of the Night benched for Heat 15 despite having the upper hand when it came to the Musielak v Kurtz and Harris scorecard in favour of Lawson who scored most of his points against Kildemand and Zischke. Deep down, I know that if Paul Hurry made that mistake in 2027 that saw Ipswich miss out on the Play-Offs by 1 Point with a strong Team then the criticism would be endless on here but because it's 2026 he gets a free pass due to the strength of the Witches septet. It still needs to be addressed now though rather than being swept under the carpet because the same basic managerial mistakes cannot happen again next season but my feedback comes across in a negative and ungrateful light. (Not the case) I've been the only one to call out the rejected opportunites for improves throughout the season and again it hasn't sat well with others, But the fact of the matter is that Ipswich could've easily competed for the title with a Top 5 of Doyle, Jeppesen, Brennan, King and Musielak (Riding Order).

How so? Poole ride on Wednesday's, so no clash with the Premiership, with Denmark the only other league running that night... So, if riders are in Denmark, just use guests for any missing riders like the majority of all meetings do...

Really interesting topic. I don't like any of those AI suggestions and the trouble with using the word Dirt is that it has negative connotations. Looking at high profile sports branding the shorter the better and often it's the governing body/promotion name which takes precedence. F1, NFL, NBA, WWE, UFC, EPL, ECL, MLB, NHL. The name of the sport remains but people refer to the competition. i.e. they say did you watch the NFL last night, not did you watch the American Football or Gridiron. I'd focus on Oval Track and rebrand it OTR. Would open up the content to include other disciplines like short track or quad racing for example as that might be what the events look like in the future. Oval Track Racing (OTR) lets the punters know what to expect. i.e. racing on an oval track. I'm willing to accept my £1 million consultancy fee in used notes in a brown paper bag. I don't mind if Harry Redknapp is given the credit for the sake of puplicity.
