keep it simple - no need for change - 3, 2, 1, 0 is best

Agree, there is a general entertainment point of view.It’s the structure of the sport,which IMO is struggling to attract new fans.It’s just not credible,and it’s mainly diehards which are keeping it afloat.

Great to see Doyle remain loyal to Britsh Speedway. He's more of a Brit than Bewley, Lambert and Woffinden.

I had a great day at the WSRA annual Norwich lunch today. Met up with some old friends, including Ove Fundin, Bert Harkins, Trevor Hedge, Tony Hurren (Hawkeye) and Terry Ripo (former Hackney and Mildenhall announcer). Other illustrious names at the lunch included Cyril Crane, Richard Greer, James Easter, Billy Bales, Ray Bales, Rob Hollingworth, Dingle Brown, Gavin Hedge, Dave Gagen, Graham Miles, Ollie Allen, Dave Allen and the great, the one and only, Buzz Burrows. Good food, good company and, best of all, I won first prize in the raffle!

Steve Worrall over Ellis or Kerr any day

Happy with that Does it mean Paul and Matty flipflopping between 1.and 5, or just 5? Hopefully there is a genuine #1 to come

Yeah I don't think Darcy's son is walking yet

Id wager more money on the flying circus lasting longer.

I actually think from a general 'entertainment' point of view with the level of riders being so similar it is actually worth watching.. I watched lots of domestic Speedway on TV and three 'live' and there was plenty to keep you interested.. Unfortunately it is clear that these riders cannot make one league pay therefore it all becomes a bit contrived and nonsensical, which obviously then takes more than a fair bit away from the event itself.. If only they could get the racing level within a proper team sport structure.. Unfortunately, until they do the sport will continue to underperform against its undoubted potential..

Ulrich could have got there by the end of the season

Sorry I Will rephrase that,the standard is higher but it’s the same riders beating each other.There are certainly no superstar 10 pt average riders even though it is a weakened League.

Lions 2019 Championship Shield Winners Championship League Winners Pirates 2021 Championship KO Cup Winners Championship League Winners I regularly attend both tracks, as well others, with Leicester being my nearest and I support Poole. The amount of success that both club's av achieved with both doing the double, either side of lockdown, is a remarkable achievement. In fact Lions cud've done the treble if it wasn't for avin to track an under strength side at Eastbourne in the KO Cup. I'd like to wish all at both clubs continued success, but don't mention the Scottish club! .....was a fine ride by Ellis Perks!

At least if you did sign Basso, he won't be visiting Poole as he'll be riding in Denmark.

dont be so sure be prepared to be surprized.

Because the other 6 teams wouldn’t share the TV money

Nah, I go private!

Have you had something you shouldn’t have had this morning?

Pirate walks in to a Scottish bar....'Mine's a Double please!' 

I would guess Morris Mountain Howarth Rowe Richie Thompson Thompson

It’s really not complicated. Scott Courtney runs Berwick Jamie Courtney will run Oxford harris has signed for Berwick and has agreed to ride for Oxford when they were planning to run in the premiership Oxford will be championship so Harris will no longer be in the team as he already signed for Berwick

May care a little bit more but he'll still miss a few meetings and he'll probably use his poorest equipment in the Championship due to the league ranking dead last in a list of priorities imo. So many Friday Night / Weekend tracks in the Championship now imo to be signing riders who've got contracts in Poland due to the lower leagues scattering meeting about from Friday to Sunday every week now isn't a good move. Riders who are going to turn up every week and put in 100% should be prioritised imo.

And quite right they are too... It could destroy the sports (in the UK), credibility...

Yeah and how little he cared not sure if it may be different for Poole though ?!

Riss to panthers makes sense. He will have to get dialled into the showground but he's a better rider than his average suggests

Paul Starke signed for Newcastle

Unless last year's 2 year deal with Kerr means it's a done deal, but does seem odd with usual merry go round of riders it hasn't been properly announced

Paul starke signing confirmed on twitter very good signing

I dont think Ulrich would go to Lynn unless it was his and Lynn's only option for PL , think his 1st choice would be obviously Peterborough then maybe Sheffield but cant see him getting a place there , expect Lynn to have there own targets already , perhaps Doyle now hes supposed to of said he wants to ride in the UK in 2022 , Doyle's best chance of a place lies either with KL or Ipswich

Could be Ipswich with guy Nicholls sorting a deal

I wouldn’t want Ulrich anywhere near the Stars team on a 7. If that happens to help the Panthers to build another strong team. If it did happen it wouldn’t be to help Lynn build a decent team.

Would certainly agree with that statement

The original......looks like a row of trees still show the outer edge of the stadium to the right High Beech : https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=51.66557&lon=0.03746&layers=193&right=ESRIWorld

Carol Jordan has left Plymouth so someone posted on here a week or so ago

Yeah would be a good site, I do doubt it could happen but nice to think about. Shouldn't sign riders knowing will miss meetings IMO

I think Tobias converted average is 9.2, which is lower than Poole's heatleaders

It's time for the supporters, promoters and riders the remove their Anoraks stop arguing about statistics and get into action. What we all want is affordable exciting racing that we all enjoy. Do it or loose it !!!!!

Yep.... when we have A, B, C & D league fixtures against the same teams to fill the meaningless League dates, before the rain damaged grand play offs, then promoters could at last realise fans will further select the meetings they go to or don't go to! The Promoter solution of ... if the crowds go down, dilute the standard and put the price up has reached the end of the line.

About 9.93 I'd make it from his last Prem average.

Actually Poole's prices have gone down for me in a way as they made U11s free when it used to be U5s, so better off by £6 each meeting this season!

Pirate walks into a Scottish bar..... Wakes up in hospital....god bless NHS Scotland

Ford said "Ok we dropped down a league, so wot coz like the riders we also Doubled Up" !

Or the second RS rider,,, with no average. All part of the 5 year plan you know.

Heyyyy up, hands off Humey boy!

There's absolutely no point in change with 4-3-2-1. It's exactly the same as the current one. Personally, league racing should remain the same, but all Cup matches (ko cup, SON etc) the scoring system shouldn't allow for draws & never benefit 2nd & 3rd. League - 3-2-1-0 Cup - 6-3-2-0 Trying to win races has to be priority for me.

Is that directed at me? Odd take.

I get what you’re saying and I have great admiration for (most) promoters - it is a thankless task for the majority of the time. While they do finance it I would argue that fans finance it more or just as much - albeit not with the same pressures and risk. I just feel a fresh and different perspective in the BSPA meetings would help.

For me, no cook either

Leicester bound?

Would like to see Connor Mountain back too, but do feel it won't happen. Oh, and Archie back too.
