Reasonably solid Newcastle side, and one or two names in that team who would not think of Newcastle type riders Of the last two riders. Not surprised to see Phillips name down on the team sheet with his old man one of the promoters at the club and he did a decent job when he was last there. Bjerre, good rider and kind be spectacular on his day, but is someone who is very difficult to manage and can be at times disruptive, if you can get him in the right fame of mind and happy he is capable of beating anyone, if not then you have problems and he will let you know.

For someone that 'couldn't care less' you don't harf love repeating the same old stuff over and over..........and over and over!!

Hmm... with the delay in announcing Jacob I was beginning to think he was on his way to bale out Ipswich. Should ensure a top seven finish for Wolves in 2019. Enjoy

or ran into 2 sides decimated by injuries in the semi final and final and were able to use an illegal rider in the final.................depends what glasses you wear Obviously Poole cant help riding against sides that were severely weakened or be responsible for Kings Lynn allowing them to have Morris....teams just get lucky at the right time

Who? JCF a missing link???

He will be a missing link ....

Ah.. the old sugar in the tank trick

Not worried they have a good line up but we will show them how to win a meeting

As previously said give Kim Nilsson a call.

KK's always good for a few points!!

If only that were true.....Tungate and Cook weren’t theirs to release Matt Ford also generously releases riders he doesn’t want

Shaping up as expected. No surprise at Jacob being announced as if he was really going anywhere else! Still looking to shape up as one of the strongest sides this year with 4 potential number ones. More than happy.

He is now a employee of buster. He will do his best with the budget that buster has set. I believe he was wholly frustrated at the agm as he had listened to the fans who wanted more fixtures and regular weekly racing. And then when that was ignored he thought how can I run my business with just 15 paydays. And he simply had enough. Just my opinion. I would like to thank Chris and John for all they have done for the club. All good things must end. And we have had a great 30 years under their control

Ipswich speedways greatest rider and one of Englands finest, John Louis was born in 1941 and had his first rides on a speedway bike at Foxhall in mid 1969, so he was just 28 I believe! I'm all for bringing on young riders, that has to be a main aspect of the National League but I disagree with putting a rider in the team just cause hes young. Also if riders like Jon Armstrong, Robert Ledwith are still quick enough then their experience can be invaluable to young riders!

Jacob Thorssell it is then, with presumably Ashley Morris to follow at 7. More than happy with that side, Nick Morris and Luke Becker replacing Cameron Heeps and Nathan Greaves effectively. I think a good season ahead.

I would ordinarily agree with you, however, Danny had a full season last year in a league with extremely strong reserves and wasn’t off the pace. This year the standard is an awful lot less, and seeing a lot of no7s and a few no6s that are NL standard, and most who are not out and out too dogs like Drew Kemp, I think Danny is definitely worth a shot, and if anything, a lot more experienced... i think it’s a big season for him this year, and one he needs to make inroads, but even putting a point on his average will be fantastic on the back of the injuries he suffered, but that would be the challenge I set him in this league. im more than happy with the team this year, a lot of opportunities if people click, but success is dependant on them clicking as it is with every team every year. hats off to the promotion team, what I would say is the new season fills me with excitement. New riders in the team, it will be fantastic to watch them all develop around brough,and defo far from the predictable “norm”.. bring on next season, well done Martin and george and thanks for giving us something a little different to wet the speedway appetite

That’s put me off my xmas dinner.

Any team would be more than happy if there team was the Peterborough one as it is very strong throughout & will always have 2 excellent reserves.

I'm afraid he only comes in a job lot Gav.......with Wayne Carter

That both riders were out regardless of what the AGM decided. At least one of them was telling other people in October that he wouldn’t be in the 2019 team

Richie rode ONE league match (v Wolves at home) at reserve scoring 8+2 and 4 play off matches (that don’t count towards averages) at reserve....The rest of the time he rode in the 1-5, putting in some useful scores, so not as though he rode at reserve all season as your post is hinting at!!

Last season according to Jayne Moss from Buxton

At 19:30. At 21:30, not so sure.

Great team put together by Wolves, easily title contenders on paper!

And how many will ride for Busters rates?.....

You know when we get to the playoffs year in year out it's nearly always a lottery and not very often the best team wins the league but that's the way it is . And yes we were lucky to win it keep posting

Somerset Sheffield Edinburgh Berwick Think Berwick have a solid look about them and possibly the strongest 2 reserves in the league Redcar for me have a long tail and the top 3 arent in my eyes true number ones but we will see.

Similar to other years where Belle Vue are the only team releasing heat leaders. Bigger picture and all that guys

Nike at 2 is his preferred position always scores better there

I think you will find Peterborough will have new owners very soon and they have chosen the team rather than have a budget set by buster. Your point about 14 riders contains only two top heat leaders and the rest are championship riders. Seeing as Lynn have two number ones in lambert and iversen why don’t you let Ipswich have one so we can both have a decent number one ??? I’m sure you can see it’s in the best interests of both clubs.

The side to beat for me Thorssell,Morris,Masters,Schlein, Howarth a very solid look about this side.

Agree 100% Every time the 'big league' gets in trouble, they lure clubs who were running successfully 'up' and put them to the sword.

Looks a reasonable side

You're just a baby, my childhood was Eric Chitty, Aub Lawson, Cliff Watson, Jack Parker et al

This is the team to beat. Just hope they don’t have an trouble with injuries.

Totally agree with that

Just look at this year mildenhall were walking it till playoffs a few injuries and it’s over there’s a few solid teams that if stay injury free could all be in the mix

I'd like to know what this "Pennell" guy did that is so worthy of a mention... Steve

Get back to your village.

I just wonder is Tai would have would have got more of a mentioned if he was not bedecked in tattoos and looked a bit more like Bruce Pennell

Another irrelevant, out of touch post from a cretin who doesn't watch the sport. Are you that lonely, sad, devoid of any other interest that you have to spend your days frequenting the forum of something you don't watch? You've concocted this fictional world where commenting that Tai Woffinden wasn't mentioned means that folk were watching the show solely to see if he was. Utter nonsense. Most, if not all, would be watching because they are interested in other sports too. It's not surprising you've come up with that theory though, it does tend to fit your modus operandi. Your ramblings about league speedway, which you have posted the same thing quite literally hundreds of times now, are also completely irrelevant in the context of this discussion. It was wrong of the BBC not to mention Woffinden as it was wrong for them not to mention all Britains other World Champions in the world of sport for 2018... in my opinion.

I surprised you think that way Gavan, it's not like you've said any of this before and you have a go at Starman for repeating himself! Lol.

Your welcome to the little git.

Looking like a very uninspiring side so far, however an uninspiring team won the title this year so anything can happen!

Armchair critic if something he admits to not watching. You really have to have a screw loose to do that. Anyway, not seen an episode of East Enders in 20 years but am off to a forum to slag it off.

Gotta say, I feel Peterborough look one of the strongest teams so far! 3 decent heat leaders & both reserves will be potent (whichever 2 they are)!

However much the powers that be insist on calling it a develpment league, it serves little purpose if all the new riders do is race against each other. They need a yardstick against which to measure their talent. Seniors provide this as long as teams are not loaded with them.

Tickets sorted.

WHAT , has that been leaked already ? you never can tell who is going to finish where . it has been mentioned many times before that workington done the treble with an un fancied team that the pundits gave no hope . but with a rookie @ reserve and a team of 6 point men cleaned up the major team silverware . sheff were tipped last year to do well and finished bottom and ended up spoon whittlers !

If Tim Stone had not tragically died, Then I think Newport Speedway would still be operating. At the time if his death Tim had in place several projects to generate extra income for the stadium other than through speedway alone. What then happened with the Mallets, well that would be a good Speedway Star winter tale!
