You twit, im genuinely offended that you would use those names just to make a cheap point. Non of those riders risked their lives or bodies just for our entertainment. They did so because they wanted to, to earn from it and because they enjoyed it. Spectator viewing is just a bye product of that. Dragging good speedway names who have met with harsh misfortune to score a few points off another is nothing short of shameful.

Good grief, you are a very very bitter man

Dick head is a better description.

I heard he left Poole because he hated you all. Nothing to do with fixture clashes.

It was obvious we couldn’t fit in Ben Basso from the word go. We are a Wednesday club. How can we sign a rider who rides Wednesdays in Denmark? Good luck to Ben in his future career. I expect him to end up in Poland as the top Dane in 3 years time.

Brennan & Basso will put 3 points combined on their starting GSA's imo Best reserve pairing in the league as well. Things are looking good for Glasgow so far.

Didn’t ride enough meetings hence why he is still on his assessed average.

Having got to an age where I am not bothered anymore going to away matches, I think Aarnio will be a decent signing as he rides the Scunny track well even if his away form is a little suspect, after all we kept Auty for home matches as his away form was generally piss poor.

Superb signing, tigers are shaping up nicely

Cue meltdown from out friends on the south coast. Magic bit of business

As has been said above this is disgraceful.... All of these riders have received terrible injuries and worse in the case of Richardson but again they absolutely did not ride speedway for the entrainment, The comment from Sings4Speedway is spot on

So you think this was robs first choice team? 3 riders allegedly agreed to race for us.1we couldn't agree terms with and 2 decided to sign elsewhere.you can't make riders come.fair play to those who wanted to be here they have my backing

I'm pleased Lambert has got a team spot, can't understand the negativity from some about his signing. You know what you'll get from Lambert 6-8 points at home, 3-5 points away, not bad at all for a second string.

Without doubt the best web address ever!!!

other than me and @Paul Johnson do any other scunny fans go to away meetings or do us two just have sad enough lives to want to go to #### tracks like lesta etc

LOL!

Glasgow arranged Wednesday fixtures this season so as not to clash with Sam's fixtures in Denmark. I'd assume be same again this season

Last roll of the cheque book I mean dice from allied HQ for 2022. Team to beat by the looks of it, strong 1-7. Last 3 of course still to announced but they’ll only add to what’s there.

Agreed. Very honest and self-aware. He had a lot in his favour. A speedway family, great role model team mates like Hans Nielsen, talented. He should have joined a big track and got away from Eastbourne. Truth is Dugard, Barker and Norris should all have done better and as three likely lads together, probably held each other back. In all sport though, you can never really say who is going to make it to the top until they actually get in that environment and see how they react. It's not always the most talented who make it. For example, not many of us would have seen Jason Doyle becoming a World Champion.

Workington 'Cash Cows'................with an 'ATM' on race jacket. or more seriously.......Workington Phoenix.

For a team to be successful you need improvers but that doesn't mean all of them have to improve, so that is the only way I can justify to myself the signing of Lambo & from what the popular speak is Aarnio, those 2 will probably stay the same average or thereabouts, the improvement has to come from Palin, Zaine & Kingsley. Allen & Douglas could go either way, if they improve then the team will do well, if they don't then it won't be pretty.

There's a couple of podcasts out in the ether with Martin being interviewed, they make for very interesting listening

You would only take on the previous companies liabilities if you was buying the company itself with the intention of continuing that company. In this case, a new company has bought a companies assets and will trade as a brand new company.

If it was a straight choice of Lindgren or Aarnio it’s Lindgren every time for me. Always rode Brough Park well and as that’s where the vast majority of supporters see any team(at home) that’s the matches you need to be winning.

Like I stated earlier the Comets name isn't copyright and it's not a registered trademark so why are the BSPL looking for a fee from it... no one owns it...I'm not even sure they are following their own guidelines... I can sort of see where they might be coming from with the regulation put up by @Marksman 're Chapter 14 Junior Leagues but all they should have said is once you come back into the Champ or Prem you can use the Comets name please use something else for now... after all the junior team was always called the Meteors.... when they had two teams... However in recent times when Brum and Eastie dropped down a league did they drop their main club name? I'm not sure but I don't think so... so I honestly can't see the argument and how they .can enforce it... When Belle Vue moved venues did they change their name... there are precedents to support Workington to be called the Comets that would stand a legal test... Think the BSPL are shooting themselves it the foot with this one... but at the end of the day a name change wouldn't bother me one bit and certainly wouldn't stop me from attending meetings... Regards THJ

This is the news for which we have waited since the end of last season, and our very grateful thanks are due to everyone who has wished us well on this forum. Sad that a few posters chose to be negative, but the great majority, I think, are genuinely pleased for us.

think it was 5 weeks this year around mid june to mid july as sure sam was racing v birmingham on a wednesday night if remember right

Probably but hey ho.

GHT to sponsor the Bullets in 2022

No it's mainly you mate

If he didn't ride enough meetings to qualify for an average then Poole cannot claim him as an asset. So no fee is required for the transfer as I understand it. But have Poole made a profit out of Basso?...... They won the Championship & KoC double!!!!!!

Won’t be boring watching them progress that’s for sure. Very strong looking team being assembled.

Couldn't agree more. Home wins are key to keeping attendances up and keeping the fans happy. Tero averages double figures at Home so it's a no brainer to sign him.

At least most Pirate fans have been prepared for losing him. As it was fairly clear from his end of season comments. Glasgow fans will love his swashbuckling style - as long as he stays injury-free!!

There were underlying reasons for the attendance reduction at Perry Barr last season. The stop-start nature of the season and the ongoing track problems didn't help, but the biggest problem was actually getting to the stadium in the face of the massive amount of roadworks being done in preparation for next year's Commonwealth Games. In addition, Perry Barr Rail Station has been closed for a year for upgrading, so travelling to the track has been an absolute nightmare. I live only 12 miles away but getting to the stadium has been taking me anything up to 2 hours. Some of these roadworks will still be ongoing next season but they will be nearing completion by then so things should be easier and although the train station is not due to re-open until June, the work seems to be ahead of schedule and with an eye on the success of the Games, Birmingham City Council will give completion of the roadworks, top priority.

Sorry Jenga all jam eaters live Whitehaven end marra !!

I don't think you are far wrong

Rohan Tungate joins Masarna

Would love to see Lindgren back, but wouldn't be disappointed with either of those

Not sure the hardcore will care where we finish...as long as we're entertained. Getting the track right will be equally as important as signing quality riders. I think LR will sign a decent 7....he's not stupid when it comes to knowing who can do what. I've got faith....after all, we wouldn't be riding at all if it wasn't for him IMO.

I make it about a point below.

Having raced there, putting a speedway track inside would be impossible I totally agree.

This is where i dont understand business laws at all. If you are acquiring all of the company assets, surely you should be taking on all the company liabilities as well.

mid 80's when I first got into speedway Havelock, Dugard and Silver were the future of British/World speedway. All had great debut seasons in the old National League (Div 2 for newbies) averaging 7 ish in a fairly strong league with the likes of Kennett, Jessup and Collins in it you'd been World Finalists not to long before. I'd have said Dugard would have been the one to become a World Champ. World Final debut at Bradford in 1990? Must have been in his early 20's at most. Seemed to freeze in the spotlight and scored nothing or next to nothing. Don't ever recall him doing anything on an international stage thereafter apart from the wildcard (at Brandon?). Superb domestically for a long time, against all the top guys in the World.

Ffs can't you lot ever give it a rest it will be who ever owns the rights to the name so more than likely Laura Morgan who closed the club down .

Workington Pikeys

Lambo signing was the worst kept secret over the last 3 months. For one, I'm not bothered what he does in the pits, I want to see him performing better on the track, especially away from home. Jake is nailed on to return, so the last two team spots need to be remarkably good and I don't consider Aarnio as being one of them. If he is ,we will be at the wrong end of the table in 2022.

Do it RS, treat yourself, you won't regret it ! I have ridden with Wayne Carter, on Scunny's mini track and on a 500 on the main circuit (gulp !) and found him friendly, helpful, very knowledgable as you would expect and has a good sense of humour without being at all condescending or insulting, which helps if (when) progress doesn't go as planned or the ground keeps coming up to meet you (!). He has plenty of time for everyone and equally importantly he asks what riders are hoping to achieve; from just having fun, riding round the track without the ground hitting you (!), getting a full slide on (yay!) to taking on the likes of Laguta, Tai, Smazlik, etc. He then helps each rider make steady & safe progress at their own pace. Speaking as I find, I can highly reccomend a day 'skidding with Wayne' and promised to myself one day hope to do so again. One day....

is this upside down.

Lol , that one ended well didn’t it. Shame really.
