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

And a few hours later the great news comes that Grant Henderson Tankers are to be Title sponsors of the Bullets

Actually agree with you for once! lol

Probably but hey ho.

No it's mainly you mate

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

Always going to Glasgow. I said this to the Glasgow fans in the bar after the playoff final meeting. No good having a rider in the 1-7 who is missing more than available. Poole will still have a great team who will be one of the favourites for the title. Always have had. Always will do.

Basso at Glasgow.

Sorry Jenga all jam eaters live Whitehaven end marra !!

Or Artem Laguta for that matter...

Seeing that Lindgren is riding for Dackarna in 2022 - you might well be surprised

Well apparently the following riders aren't wanted by the majority: Auty, Newman, Shanes, Morris & Sedgmen and there's not a lot else out there, it's not easy to pick a team of available riders! Birmingham 2022? Ulrich Ostergaard 7.96 Paco Castagna 5.52 Adam Roynon 5.08 Jack Thomas 4.79 Vinnie Foord 2.00 Josh Warren 2.00 Kai Ward 2.00 Total 29.35 I know this won't be the team, but the point I'm trying to make is that's it's easy to say "no I don't want rider A,B or C" but harder to suggest available replacements, which not many do!

Kevin Wolbert joins Rospiggarna.

I make it about a point below.

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.

Also miss Sundays as well as it is a holy day.

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.

Workington Pikeys

If we're looking for divine intervention how about Richard Lawson (son of God) Pontus Aspgren Christian Hefenbrock Joshua Auty Mark Riss Luke Bowen Stephen Goret

Well Well Well… oh ye of little faith eh... I didn't think it could be done but here you go... News hot off the press so to speak... The travellers have been evicted (again)... the gates have been repaired and locked (again)... there are now CCTV cameras in operation (good)... and three of our little friends have been arrested and locked up and another two are on the run (Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas)... so there you go three nil to the police and two off the crossbar... nice when a plan comes together and the boys in blue get a result... Carlsberg don't do News Flashes but if they did... (and its official I will be smiling all day) Regards THJ

The problem with Perry Barr is that viewing outside is awful, you can't high enough above the track.

He'd miss any Easter fixtures though......

What average would Jesus Christ come in on?

Well they all do ride mostly for our entertainment..... I know this because I have read it so many times on here...
