I’m afraid you’re confusing ‘affecting the team or racing’ with ‘affecting the event’. No-one with half a brain would argue playing Wham’s Club Tropicana before heat thirteen would aid us in any way. The fact is, speedway isn’t just four riders going around a track; like all sports, presentation is part of the event. Music, announcements, crowd interactions, introductions, etc. all contribute to atmosphere.

A good chance of Rushen at Ipswich imo. King's Lynn can easily sign Jody Scott again to fill that role so I doubt Buster will get into a bidding war as he always operates on a budget. I don't think this rough guess of a prediction is unrealistic for the British U21 positions tbh.   Belle Vue -> W. Cairns Ipswich -> C. Rushen King's Lynn -> J. Scott Leicester -> 2026 Team Member of the Lions Cubs? (F. Hodder, R. Ingram or M. Perry) Northampton and Sheffield -> L. Harrison and A. Pijper Newcomer to the League -> Whatever the other Clubs leave them with....V. Foord????

Personally I don't listen to the music or Derek Smith for that matter, I don't see how that would affect the team or the racing,

My thoughts too

Think his mindset will be a problem for Mayfield after the experience they've had with Lawson this season tbh.

OK 😁
