On the other in 22/23 Louis spent all winter chasing Emil when no body gave it a hope in hell of happening! Ended up doing 3 years as a witch. Louis & Ipswich are slighty different to Schroeck & Oxford.  

And there lies the problem when looking at statistics & cherry picking what suits the agenda.  Kurtz & Bewley rode for the same team & taking points off each other home & away in heats 13 & 15. Musielak was unchallenged in a poor King's Lynn team. For King's Lynn in 2024 Musielak only achieved 6.97 from he 5 meetings. Musielak achieved the 8.69 at Sheffield as 2nd heatleader behind Jack Holder. Musielak is not, & never has been a "REAL" No1. "REAL" No1s are consistent season in, season out, not just for a statistical rolling average &/or a single season.

The sinking ship called the Premier League is heading for the rocks.   Loss of UK venues has been a major factor in recent years. Their defunct club supporters have all probably been lost to the sport never to return.  Established stadia  with a speedway oval and capable of housing a few thousand patrons in reasonable comfort aren't out there. An ever ageing but dwindling nucleus of speedway supporters with fond memories of  past glory still cling on to the wreckage in traditional speedway hotspots.  Attempts to promote clubs from the Championship League  have been tried and I cannot name one that has been successful ?  Costs of operating on the Premier League (although a closely guarded secret) and the restrictive race nights of operation are certainly a major issue.  The money for riders is in Poland nowadays, why any of them ride in the UK can only be for personal reasons, it cannot be for the money on offer.  WHEN will the league decay into one league and a training Conference league ? The PL cannot hold out for much longer.     

King was a very good team man, excellent with the youngsters , still capable of big scores and a thoroughly nice guy . Sad that he seems to be forced out by a rule that doesn’t appear to have been thought out very well . Hope he gets fixed up quickly, if he hasn’t already been.   Whilst Redcar have always shown loyalty to riders… Will the Bears take another gamble on Riss ? Jenkins to come back ? Allen pencilled in ? Might need to find a couple of 2/3 pointers with potential and that won’t be easy.

They are coming from riders themselves . Riders talk, especially when they haven’t been paid, mechanics talk even more, more so when they are owed money . There are very few secrets in the pits. You should hear the figures from Poland !

Is there any guarantee that Danyon Hume will be race ready for the start of next season.
