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

He was an almost complete let down. A couple of superb meetings (one at Lynn) aside to say he was mediocre would be kind He can be brilliant when all is well but appears clueless as to what changes to make when things are not going so well. Quite baffling for a rider of his experience

Good suggestion though as he would fit within our age bracket lol.

Not sure there will be any team announcements in the immediate future, while the stadium rent issue goes down the legal route. May find out something later this week but not sure if I'll be able to share. One thing I do know is that the planned 2022 1-7 has changed already - with the unexpected availability of a rider.

noooooooo!

Glasgow already charge £25 for some grandstand seats.

So Kennett, MPT and Lawson as your heat leaders (announced on Plymouth Facebook page).

I think there will be more than six clubs in the top flight next season and I'll await the rabbits out of hats they produce each AGM.......

Pretty much every European rider calls it England. I remember Stefan edberg getting roundly boo'd in a post match interview for saying he was glad to be back in England after he'd signed for us ha

Been scrapped in Championship. Premiership are keeping it.

If were to go down that route would be looking at something like Musielak Cook Brennan Nicol Basso Bailey Edwards Just over 41 I think not taking into account 2.5% reductions. (Guessing at Connors average at 3.8)

It could all be nothing, but Tobiasz Musielak has replied to a comment about Glasgow potentially hosting the 2022 GP Challenge with the following: "A baza w Anglii będzie …. :))" Roughly translated: "and my base in England will be..."

So if there were more 'domestic' riders then this would save speedway? Isn't the fact that no-one comes anymore and/or most stadiums are under threat of closure the most pressing problem???????????

Really hope the NDL in 2022 will be as such that Mildenhall can defend the title.

I thought the doubling up one was quite good!

I know that but I’m just summarising about the “interest” in reading the Oxford thread!

A quick calculation would suggest 5.92 http://www.gbspeedway.com/2021/ridercareer.php?mc1=st&mc2=a&mc3=av&mc4=x&name=Tom Brennan Edit: I think Shield fixtures in 2019 counted, so make that 6.02

I often look through maps online to try and work out where old stadiums were. Never found this site before, so very interesting for me.

Guess that be first thing to be sorted by the new management committee then before any open meetings can take place? Fingers crossed something takes place in 2022

Only TWO of the top scoring riders in the Premier League don’t ride in the Championship……Jack Holder and Dan Bewley….So what makes it Premier?……..

So you know the 1-7 with 100% certainty then Geoff....

they will be stonger for sure

Harris would be the first name on my team sheet from the current Panthers line up..

Think stewart will pull a few surprises. That team is decent but not strong enough for a title challenge but that's just my opinion.

When it came to the crunch in the semis against us Pirates it was the Lions lower end that just cudn't mix it. Mountain or Hume alongside one of the twins would've been the way to go. My mates are Lions fans and they were very surprised, and so was I, when Mountain was released and he performed very well despite the teams he rode for ending up at the bottom of their respective leagues.

Leicester is my local track so looking forward to Pirates and Lions doing battle again in 2022 no matter who rides for who. But thank you and other clubs for over looking Danyon Hume in 2021 as he proved to be a key rider for us in our double winning season Here's to 2022

Welcome to speedway, moaning is what the fans do best.

Better open one up in the NDL, just in case.

Hope that everything goes well Brian. We don't want to lose any more Tracks.

Godfrey will be the death of British Speedway.
