Most teams would fit in the Prem, as they are mainly the same riders, with, maybe, slightly different averages!! No doubt whoever the 1-7 are, along with a track that always produces good racing, together it should get people to Redcar for every meeting and that's all you can ask for. If they win a trophy or two along the way, that's a bonus.

For those Glasgow fans who aren't impressed with Harris, can we do a swap for Rory Schlein.

No worries, you're used to disappointment in Ipswich

unless its raining!!

I am very disappointed Danny won't be back next season and it isn't about the numbers game, they obviously prefer other riders,, probably Steve Worrall, I would prefer Danny king every day of the week.

As ever it's all cloak and dagger How hard is it to be fully upfront with the Rising Star criteria and a full list of who qualifies? Similar applies to a full list of team building averages for EVERY rider. There is no reason it shouldn't be there plain as day for all to see

Can’t work out your dislike for our Captain that’s all , I admire any rider that cocks his leg over on a bike for my entertainment

you must remember all riders want to ride for poole

Glasgow race Friday`s mostly, he has Glasgow airport close by with Edinburgh not a million miles away, even Manchester at a stretch. So, all good links to where he needs to be for Longtrack GP` s and the like.

A Chris Holder sized hole… Sorry Flapps

I have been a Bandits season ticket holder for 13 years but I will not be renewing this coming year. As there is no concession(I am 68 y-o) & have a round trip of 200 miles I do not think I will attend at all.

Aye, but they would've turned up if it was good!!!

If pensioners are well off it is because they did not have a feeling of entitlement only bought things when they could afford them and lived within their means

I`ve had a season pass for the last five season, including the one cancelled by Covid, its very very unlikely I will be getting one for next season. I will attend the first meeting or two then see how things are going. £20 to watch Championship speedway is way way over the top IMO.

So……nothing to do with where the Dingo Dollars are then?……lol

Better riders than Lambert about, but he is liked by the "Inner circle gang", so he stays on." Firm fan fave" , yeah right.

Not if he's got ambitious of winning something

Does anyone get a job on merit these days? You either have to be a mate or tick the right diversity box..

They’ve already had a Roo Boy……….now they want a Rew Boy???…….lol

Did you miss the Scotland part?…..lol

I would add to this, a rider who moves club's and away average is higher than his home average was in the previous season, plus to a lesser extent, a rider who rode as a heat leader in the previous season but you sign for a second string spot.

Think a lot more rider's don't mind riding at Poole now the track as been sorted out.

Its a classic six of one situation....without the movement of riders into, through and onwards from the NDL it becomes very stale. That said lower points limits creates artificially increased averages that can see riders frozen out. Whatever the limit it would be nice if it was consistent year on year (or at least a shown formula or team limit vs teams in the league).

Heat 1 also has the added advantage that there is rarely a question mark over where on the track to ride. If you make a start and hug the kerb, it's not often you'll get passed. Obviously the No 1s have an outside gate, but if you ride at 5 and are out in heat 4, the track can be starting to develop by then where there can be more than one line. Truth is some riders like going out in heat 1 to set the tone, some really do not.

Positives He's a genuine CL Heat Leader He'll turn up every week when fit and give 100% He's not too long in the tooth as to be likely to lose form suddenly The key will be who will be the other heat leader along with Sedgeman.

Morris is a good, solid signing and consistent at nearly all tracks. I'm not sure he's exciting enough to put extra bums on seats so Brum will need deep pockets again this season I feel

In a GP there are 5 heats on a fresh track: 1,5,9,13,17. Riders nos. 2-16 each appear in one of them, but rider no 1 is in all five. But I agree with your initial point

As expected signing and undoes a lot of the good work gone before it, if they do finish with MPT, Allen and Douglas will be a good side but could of been better

I'm not sure that is the reason. For a start, Mildenhall has had stock car racing for years. More importantly, the stock cars do not run every week (usually once a fortnight) and the speedway certainly used to attempt to run on the Sundays when there had not been racing the previous night, thus giving ample time for track preparation ((i have seen the track on a Sunday morning after a Saturday stocks meeting and it looks like there has been a bombing raid). To be fair, I haven't been for a while but there did seem to be an issue with the track last season at least, with a number of meetings subject to multiple accidents and lengthy delays. Whatever the case, I really hope this can be pulled round. I have a lot of happy memories of Mildenhall, some good friends there and you won't get a more devoted speedway fan than Phil Kirk.

Stop annoying Flappy you lot!

I’d pick Allen over them pair of ausies

Well we can all write Badge off as an ITK

Always expected Brennan back. Should be looking to up his average in a weaker league, especially if riding at no 3.

There is a reason, they don't want us to know as they haven't all got their teams sorted yet so adjustments to the list may look amateurish (sorry, had to laugh at the last bit whilst typing)

Next to your post.......

Agree it would be a very strange choice of rider. But a rider can be hopeless at a track but if he rides it every week will soon find the right lines and improve.

It has already been quoted on the Ipswich thread that Rew will be based in Poland next yr and will fly in and out when he rides in the UK

You’re welcome. Good addition will put a point on that starting average imo. We’ve tried getting him at Edinburgh a few times.

That’s what I thought…….Vissing was only put out there by us fans to suit the numbers game so not sure of his inclusion or even his interest in riding.

I think the promoters are "wising up" to this fact, and now are basing their income projections on the concessionary admission levels. From that point of view, if the OAP discounted admission charge is "the new normal" then perhaps the question can be turned on its head...and you can ask "why should people of working age be penalised with excessive admission charges to be able to go to watch the speedway?" Can't wait to hear from the "Speedway's a £10 sport" brigade.

No knocking him at all just dont no how he does it

Can't knock his enthusiasm though

Belle Vue thought the same and look how that went. Allen seems to have taken the same route as Cameron Heeps, down.

4.00 confirmed in the Ipswich Star.

If it is Harris, Basso, Nowak and Complin all in the same team then just take my money! That's entertainment right there.

Ok fair enough but a lot of riders do that at Plymouth.

So if it’s true and Harris is signed then potentially will be Harris 8.76,Nowak 5.00,Brennan 6.71,Vissing 5.00,Basso 8.52,Pijper 2.00 and by my maths leaves 4.01 left so potentially a new foreigner

don’t think they do new rider incoming hopefully

So you think that those that have reached pension age haven't had to pay these costs throughout their lives ? Back in the 70's, interest rates for mortgages were in the region of 11% to 15 %. We just got on with it. Commuting ? My dad used to walk 5 miles to work to start at 6:00 am because there were no buses. Growing up I lived in a house with an outside toilet and no central heating. Today's pensioners have gone through a lot more than cosseted people like you ever will. So shut up.
