Speedway hopefully returning to Somerset and 15 minutes or so up the road from the old track. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Sorry. Maybe the new owner will build new stadium next to your house if you ask him nicely

Very, very good talent. If he can regain the form he showed when he got injured, his starting average will be significantly improved upon. Delighted this one is now confirmed.

Does anybody really give a ...... Newcastle fans/threads should be welcome anywhere anytime if it helps maintain interest.

Exactly that. Trophies are a bonus when you have great racing. If you don’t have great racing, they’re the only thing… and then, the numbers don’t add up. The best thing about the Facennas isn’t the money thrown at riders, it’s the investment in the track and the product. Plus a great team of track staff - Paul, Chris and the others invest incredible hours putting it together during the season and they almost always get it spot on, which isn’t always easy with our weather.

Don't think so, Complin's away ave was far better than his home ave for Newcastle. Put him on a home track he likes & his average could rise.

But what if it is the team,,,,,, you will be like a beach ball that some has just stuck a fag into.

if Flint and Thomas are RS, so then so should Brennan

Wait till September.. The leagues dont start until then...

One thing guaranteed at Ashfield is entertaining speedway on a great raceway.

It does seem a lot of people are jealous of glasgow tho, int just about a trophy tigers win most weeks with a top race track & product give me that every time over clubs who rak up big home wins with zero racing & entertainment...without racing the sport goes simple

You would get a great number of fans hope up.IMO

A few seniors at Peterborough didn’t pay anything to get in for the last two seasons apparently. Their excuse? They were riding for the Panthers!

You don’t fully grasp the concept that the clubs worked together that both were happy with. And not one or the other being quick enough as you put it to get deals done, both clubs would have to agree the deal. But your version probably suits your comfort blanket better that is Glasgow bad Poole good.

Never heard that one, I’m sure he would settle far better at Poole.

Yes and I am glad it is not us! One is okay.

The selection is based on averages in both leagues and Brennan has exceeded the threshold, plus I don't think he needs the protection of the RS scheme any more anyway.

And name it The New National Speedway Stadium

Till tomorrow at 8am when Jake Allen is announced by Scunthorpe

Funny you should say that, I just looked through the website trying to find an answer. There's no mention of it in ticket section, but the press release/news story states the following... *Advanced tickets are available until midnight the day before the event date. The above admission prices include a ticket booking fee.

Seems you might have. Just waiting for the club to confirm it

1. S. Worrall 8.05 2. J. Thomas 4.78 3. B. Cook 6.09 4. Z. Cook 4.92 5. R. Lawson 7.97 6. K. Newman 4.29 7. A. Roynon 3.47

Bickley seems to have followed a similar career trajectory as jack Thomas until 2 years ago. Jack signed for us as a teenager and looked a prospect but stagnated as a 2/3 pointer for 3/4 years. Penny seemed to drop at Birmingham in 2021 and looks a totally different rider nowadays (on steal of an average too imo). Hopefully same thing happens with Kyle, might never be world champion but sure can have a decent career at it

Gilkes was the most pivotal plymouth signing by a mile .

If he doesn’t improve significantly this season from a reserve position in a very weak league there’s something wrong.

Is it though? Much weaker league were a lot of teams are running either one or two 2.00 riders. I’d fancy him to beat them more often that not home and away. If doing that I’d fancy him to get 4/5 points a meeting which is doing his job at 7. Also now at a track he’s always scored reasonably well at and will help boost his confidence and he won’t be put under any pressure.

Doubt it. In 2009, he was faster than Jason Lyons and obviously going right to the top, but with all of his injuries he would be better off now in the NL.

He was cheap then if the rumours are right that Dudek wanted 6k a meeting

15 minutes based upon fifteen heats (?) but I remember the days of Second Halves when either the "main players" took part with a smattering of assets/juniors (we had the likes of Eastbourne & Peterborough riders take part due to the promotional tie-up at Cowley/White City) and later Junior Matches plus, of course, the occasional Golden/Silver Helmet Match Race(s) thrown in plus Individual/4TT/3TT/Pairs/Test Matches which had a variety of race formulae. Meetings often had up to twenty races at times. It's often argued that many left after the main event and that was their prerogative but many stayed on to catch all the action and therefore got more for their money.

Your doing a good job of keeping this post going

Rule Book what’s that.!

At times over the last two or three seasons Jorgensen has been the only Lynn rider worth watching at home, he is exciting and rides Lynn well, and to be fair his away form improved too in 2022. This time last year I'd have agreed with you but for me he gets in on merit for next season. Cares about the club too which goes a long way.

Yeah there is little loyalty left in the sport bar fans turning up every week.

Ruined the bird cage track, & did the same at the Showground.

They were quick enough to swap him for Basso

Only if they have lost their minds!!

Just been in touch with them, and it was on the 16 July

G.T been right so far.... I'm impressed!

Proctor would be huge gamble.IMO.Wasn’t showing much for Berwick before he got injured.

Yes but all is good just going through the legal formalities

Ooooh has GT actually got something wrong?

Probably one of the stronger number 7s in the league with a lot of teams running 2 pointers I’d fancy him to beat them majority of the time home and away. As a club we’re quite good at bringing on young riders so hopefully we’ll be able to do the same with Kyle as he has the potential to put a put at least on that average.

Might not have been my first choice but he’ll absolutely get my support. Welcome Kyle.

Who’s he

Just read that Rasmus Jensen is not riding in the Ekstraliga. Could he now be available as our No1? I'm sure he would be welcomed back by the fans.

James Wright to Brum kyle Bickley to Edinburgh

I haven’t got a clue what the team is but letting Danny go was a huge mistake imo in place of Steve or other riders such a gutsy rider

obviously if you raise admission price by 10% income from admissions will not rise by 10%,i believe in financial parlance its called "the law of diminishing returns" each promotion has got to decide how big a gamble they want to take and a gamble it certainly is

Very happy with that.

You are very picky these days
