Yes... its only glasgow who are allowed to bring in Aussies and kiwis on 2.00 averages so he will definitely be a 4.00er

I think its really only one Poster is has said he would not have Adam back, and he is entitled to his or her opinion. I think they will be disappointed as reading between the lines Adam wants to be back and the club want him back as well. And I would say that the vast majority of fans want him back at Sheffield.

Quite surprised with the stick Ellis is getting to be honest, a great racer and usually in the thick of the points, has also stated he wants a return to Sheffield for 2022. I'd be very happy if he was back with us.

Not interested in what happens at Scunny. So for the record he fell 4 times in 88 races. Twice at Kings Lynn and Twice at Wolves (Same meeting). One of the falls at Kings Lynn was caused by the chain snapping. So only 3 falls caused by rider error. Would hardly describe him as a prolific faller.

It seems to me that there are two, not necessarily linked, issues with regard to the Eastbourne fixtures. 1. The Eastbourne match results are logically removed from the league tables, no argument. 2. The points scored by riders in the Eastbourne fixtures should, in my opinion, stand for the purposes of calculating averages. Those rides were seriously contested at that time and represent the ability of those riders at that moment. Therefore they should contribute to averages going forward. For sure, it would make the calculation of all riders averages a damn sight simpler.

Great arcticle by Liam Waite in the News and Star this morning, even made the front page headline. https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/19724272.workington-speedway-legend-steve-lawson-plans-return-sport-town/

Actually think Jake Allen would be the perfect reserve with improvement in that average of 4.80

Great to see Workington seemingly getting somewhere.

Okay... I for one love a multi-cultural society; I welcome diversity. However, while there is a constant push for diversity these days, it shouldn't be expected, and it certainly shouldn't be forced. There are just some things that attract certain races/nationalities/cultures/genders, and some that don't. We have to accept that.

Yes....and the point is don't survey the existing crowds...that will tell us nothing. Or worse still pander to a shrinking group with less years in front of them to watch speedway. It's the people NOT attending speedway who are of more interest. How do we get more of them through the gate? I think we are at the stage where promotions like the Isle of Wight should be welcomed and given free rein to experiment with new formats...and properly pilot them. Oh, and please don't be offended on your age. I think we can all recognise that any sport who's fan demographic is 60+ has a problem.

My initial question wasn't angry in its content. Just wondering why everything is CVS's fault. You do seem to have some backward logic, because Woves are managing to continue running, they are responsible for other tracks closing ? Odd. There is nothing to gain for Wolves, and everything to lose, by other tracks closing.

I'm the seeker of truth and justice so everything I say is believable. Might not be true though

Or maybe to do with the Bates owning Leicester & Sheffield.

How far back do you need to go on 'ancestry.com' to fit the criteria?

Your champ, only 6 teams in prem

I dont't see the relevance of this to José Mourinho?

But they’ll continue to do it if they keep getting away with it. It’s down to the referees to watch a bit more closely and clamp down harder on those doing it.

Could be Josh, bearing in mind that he finished the season as third heatleader, and he maybe thinking that he deserves a pay increase. Or could be that interest may have been shown from other clubs who may have offered him big money. But Josh and other possible interested clubs need to be careful as Josh did not do a full season in the Premiership and may struggle to maintain or improve on that average. Kings Lynn are a club that I would imagine would show more than a passing interest in him. And as much as I love watching Josh and would love him back at the club I do think that their has to be a ceiling on riders pay rates at the club and if the money we are prepared to pay and his figure that he wants is wide of the mark then let him go.

What a complete load of Northampton Town Football Club

I do see quite a various crwd when i have watched Premier League lately. Also see a good few Japanese or Korean fans in the crowd when one of their countrymen have signed for a team

Just seen the tweet by Josh Auty who seems a tad put out hes not in Scunnys plans for 2022. Dont think he need fret British Speedway needs riders of his calibre. A new challenge could just be the boost he needs to reboot his racing career. But back to us ? Ryan Douglas I read wants a mid week track to fit in with his weekend Polish commitments. He already has Prem Wolves - Mon and wants a Champ club ? He might be pushed to get mid week as that would limit him to Poole Oxford Plymouth and I dont see him going that way. Edinburgh might fit the bill for him as he can team up with fellow Aussies Josh Pickering & Sam Masters who are also doing Poland weekends. Got to say if Monarchs land Ryan and have Pickers & Masters thats some top three ! But we'll see. Kinda hope Robs managed to talk Ryan back to Scunny because ihe would be a great top two with Jake Allen. At the moment having pfaffed around with these averages and looking whats already been rumoured on here and gut feeling I am left with Douglas 7.74 or( Ellis 7.66) Allen 7.72 Aarnio 6.61 ? Lambert 5.98, Palin 5.69, Kennedy 5.00, Kinsley 3.00 Total 41.74(41.66) Plenty of room for optimism there as you expect Jordan to push on in 2022 and Kennedy can be a match winner home or away. We would have a strong reserve come what may. Prefer Douglas over Ellis because hes better round Scunny of the two. Aarnio fits points wise in this team; he needs to convince though. Took a few meetings to get going last season ; then it was inconsistent; then the visa issue. Always concerns me he ends up two-three meetings from the axe ! Seems like we have to wait for Santa to know what hes leaving "under the xmas airbag" for us in 2022. But Ive put me list in and hoping for the best.

Yep. we've had black and Asian riders at Wimbledon, and black and Asian fans. KeirStarmerFan obviously never went to Plough Lane...

you will be waiting a long time then !

yes and 3 reserves 1 2nd string

Where the world has gone crazy is that, not only can we not laugh at each other - WE HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO LAUGH AT OURSELVES! Part of being British is being able to take the piss out of each other - and ourselves.

It's a forum, predictions, realistic or not are allowed!

Maidstone have their own new ground and Sittingbourne play in more modest surroundings outside the town centre.

That must mean we are meeting 8 times

How are you going to fit them all in or are you changing the rules for gains(cough, cough). That is King, S Worrall, Lawson & Douglas. Someone is hoping too much.

Couldn't find Greenford on maps, but a couple of overhead pics https://britainfromabove.org.uk/image/epw034577?gazetteer=Ealing&ADMIN_AREA=Ealing&quicktabs_image=1&ref=214 https://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/epw031779 Earls Barton : https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=52.25185&lon=-0.74400&layers=10&b=1

We don't even know the teams yet!

Jason Crump........

You have answered my point with your point, hence my changes. lol

You haven't moved up - so chill out and don't worry

I agree, CVS and the wolves TM are one of the best and have been very successful. if more clubs operated like CVS speedway wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in now.

Same approach and same result hopefully !!!! but it doesn't mean the same riders will be playing all the same parts

Don't think the team is much better than this season, IMO bwd will be on par with Barker alot will depend on the new kid. But hope Rob gets the support from the fans.

Still nothing. Even items celebrating victory are non existent. You would have thought with Xmas approaching they would have tried to cash in but I fear they have missed the moment.

I think we should move heaven and earth to get him back, if we don't sign him someone else certainly will

Yeah that leaves a bitter taste. Just to clarify not to diminish Richie's ability as a rider he just wouldn't be good signing for my team. Before the abuse starts ha

So if he’s making money why did he put the club up for sale and had no takers?

Young Dane rode for Poole last season brought in about mid season.

Speedway has many institutional issues, one of which is institutional self-interest

Even being around for 3 years doesn't guarantee you a vote or even a say in relation to an issue that directly and significantly affects your club. Ask Isle of Wight and Mildenhall about that one.

Speedway in the spotlight, now there's wishful thinking....

Was a bit noisy like.

Everything’s fine, onwards and upwards.

Its British Speedway. It doesn't do professional.
