The change in the calculation of the Green Sheets from 20 matches, down to 10 is the problem. A sample of 20 matches reflects consistency, whereas the smaller sample is more likely to be skewed by a couple of very good form or very poor form scores. In 2022, Lawson averaged 6.75 from 19 Prem matches. His Green Sheet from the last 10 is 7.91 ... his average from the first 9 was 5.56 ...

You said you’d have a meltdown if Bomber signed……and then you go and bring up the Batch word??? Do you want the rest of us to have a meltdown?….lol

That is most definitely correct and I don’t see how Brandon estates get around the loss of the stadium argument. of course they can just sit on it for another decade. hopefully they will get hammered in the courts next week.

One or two rumours around that Lynn will be entering a team into the NL next season? Various Tweets from Alex Brady might back up the theory. Presumably the likes of Jody Scott, Sam Hagon, Elliott Kelly, Ryan Kinsley, and Ashton Boughen might be in the frame for a team place if so. Thoughts?

Probably Lewy!!

Batch? You must be getting desperate to go down that road!

Nope me neither! Why swap a rider then let him go back. Richard will be at Poole.

"We did consider moving to Calcot but unfortunately Terry and Clark had to stop to relieve themselves during the journey, and consequently the drive took 47 minutes, so outside of our requirements. We keep trying. We're doing all we can."

Only one person mentioned Rory Schlein going to Poole, someone renowned for getting bites off the Poole fans

No he’s not, he’ll be back in the championship in 2023.

Well it is the silly season, have to wait and see. I would be very disappointed if he didn't return, he certainly gave everything when it mattered most.

It's TJ at Berwick. He's probably seen the photo of Middlo and Bomber at yesterday's WSRA Dinner!

They do!!

Bottom end strength?? You ain’t seen our bottom end or top end yet, there’s no strength anywhere

Tbf if Poole went after Batch I'd have a meltdown too!

Winning shiny objects means little to most riders, money means a heck of a lot more.

Wouldn't just be tyretrax having a meltdown!! Toys would be out my pram too ha

Sounds very promising! I guess when it went in 2018, no one would of predicted us even talking about a return, remarkable. Just my thoughts of course, but Speedway, especially for this new venture, should be ran in the summer/warmer months, unlike the shambles that descended the '22 Championship season. That leaves us with something like this... (in an ideal world, that doesn't exist) 17 Weekends, Running May to End of August; 9 Home League meetings (KL possibly joining) 1 Home KO Meeting Individual Meeting 3 more Sundays...? NDLRC or Pairs? British youth championship round Under 19 final / Under 21 Semi final? Means 14/17 weekends running speedway, giving room for rain offs etc. However of course, rider availabilty will always be a problem at this level, more so the opposition! Then run into September if team progresses in League playoffs / KO Final etc.

Ok boss, are you his manager? You just wait and see

Berwick on a Saturday night isn’t going to fit with Josh presumably riding in Poland again.

My guess is bomber to Oxford. Much closer to home

No, they're looking for a site within a 45 minute drive of Swindon Town centre, ie in Swindon not Bristol or Reading? I'm the eternal optimist until all is lost Thank goodness the Coventry group have continued to believe eh!!

Give us all 45 points to work with. Feck the Premiership.

Think it depends what average they use for TJ .No figures given in Berwick announcement.

Robert Lambert came back to Belle Vue on his last premiership average so you never know. Thought he might be reassessed due to becoming a grand Prix rider since he was last riding in Britain?

Just wasting time ,no one will stick to it.

If Schlein still to be announced,that would be ok Team.

Are teams doing everything they can to look outside the box for riders - not just hoping the 250s produces something? Motocross/grass track/etc? How many more Boughens are out there.

I'm gonna go with no. Not in Champ, he just doesn't seem bothered about this league imo.

Can’t see Lawson leaving Poole.

By my calculations basso, Lawson, Brennan, vissing, nowak, Bowes & Coles comes to 39.98. Would take that personally, plenty entertainment and intrigue.

No idea mate, that’s just what people are saying and it kind of makes sense with the announcement debacle. Maybe behind the scenes they’ve secured the future of the club. Got some land and planning permission or something.?

Good shout tbh.

Bet you wish you never started it now!

Do you not think Brennan will be back

Someone that works in lynn. I think maybe with Brady has said that buster has sold both clubs. I’m guessing one to Brady and the other to maybe crendon ? this is could all be absolute rubbish. But it ties in with the announcement that was never and announcement because the I’s weren’t dotted and t’s not Crossed.

Needs a nice dry slick track and when he gates he is fine.!! Hope it is just a rumour.!!

Shame if we cannot keep Bomber. Every time that Schlein is at Berwick there appears to be something wrong (not really what you want from a rider who would probably be your number 1).

A returning kings Lynn would be fantastic for the national league couple of local lads there as well

8.18 was his final 2021 average

Watched them at Hyde Rd when I was about 8 and thought they were a bit boring to be honest.... One outfit was miles in front of the others and all the rest were all strung out... They did about four races and it was rinse and reapeat... Watched them in 92 at Victorville which was a tiny track and they were brilliant... Six outfits per race knocking hell out of each other... Part of a top nights entertainment from junior solos to seniors including some US riders who rode over here.. A young lad of about eight or nine rode and beat kids many years his senior, and did it by being off the farthest hamdicap... With six rider races he passed people for fun... Ryan Fisher was his name....

They used to race at Crewe which was nice a wide ,we had a couple of races at the Elle Port but from memory they were Grass Outfits not S/way outfits which are much more compact .Plus the Grass Outfits went the opposite way hence wrecking the entrance to the corners ,I remember that from my riding days I loved it when it was only solos .

It's the modern way to talk a product up so they don’t lose customers but hopefully speedway fans have a mind of their own and make their decisions regardless of what he says ..... It also seems to be the modern way for journalists to not question what the CEO says so it's not a balanced piece, there's obviously good reason for this when they are a customer of the Star I would certainly have asked why they don't take the GPs to all the best racing tracks in the World and of course ask what went wrong with the Cardiff track and how it will be put right for 2023 .....

Imagine leaving sunny Australia to come out of retirement to ride a Berwick on a Saturday night. Must really hate being back home.

Last year only two changes?

I was under the impression that Ty Proctor had retired.

Those that posted in topic first edited their post team by team as signings were confirmed. Just look at previous year's topics.

Someone who didn't read the title of CONFIRMED signings lol

Lawson and Poole did absolutely nothing wrong - just listen to Lawson discussing it on a Poole podcast for proof!1!1!

It's probably two when you factor in the other half a dozen who ride in the Prem and not the Champs, I expect another six to eight to reappear next season now the Poles have relaxed the rules. I'm not here to defend the top division as its been shambolic this season and has one decent track in it but there's no doubt its a step up in quality of rider.
