Spread a few rumours,,, at least then they can say they tried to get some good signings,,,, come on Arch play the game.

The best signing that anyone could make in the NL! Between him & Boughen this year, they both showed that they’ll make a mockery of their average but Harrison starts on 2 points less. If the rest of the team is as rumoured it should be a good first year back.

Really think you should check again your crystal ball looks like it needs batteries.

Agree a little bit. But just glad to have speedway back in Workington, but surely the point of the 3rd league is to bring young kids like Luke etc through the ranks,and onto hopefully bigger and better things ?? Personally I would like a team of up and coming riders gaining experience, rather than building a win at all cost team, but I know to attract a crowd you have to have a good mixture of both . Anyway good luck to all involved, looking forward to next announcement, up the comets UTC

Even BV lawyer is not that good..

When he guested for Plymouth?

Kyle Howarth does and backs up my opinion that speedway is about winning trophies and not just about riders just doing a job to feed their family and earning money he said I want to win stuff I want trophies On my cv so all you people who have said trophies etc mean nothing and I got shot down by some on here for suggesting that was the case I rest my case.

The Production got very good as the season went on.Good presenters and guest riders as back up.

Has always been that reductions only count in the team building calculation but don't affect thd riding order - Brennan should therefore start in the 1-5

Has to be the average. Him and Drew slightly over 5. Though happily see Dan in the team but not my decision!

Take him over complin personally lol.

I hope D Thomson is at Poole. He would learn so much there and with time and patience he would score a lot of points.

Noise carries across lands/fields and may annoy, say farmers with animals. On the IOW I am informed that they are restricted to an 9.30pm end for racing for noise reasons, but there is a lady councellor who lives miles down the valley from the track who carefully monitors the noise after 9.30pm. A lot of promotions are monitored especially if there are people/organisations who can take advantage of the noise problems.

Reasonable Summer back home just to be pedantic.

Done my bit, though we didn't get off to a good start! The presenter of the programme, Steve Scruton, rang me on Wednesday to ask me if I could take part in the programme. He said the only track he knew about was Rayleigh and asked me if I ever went there. I told him that I only went there once or twice. So, he started off the interview with me this morning by saying he understood I was a regular at Rayleigh and must have lots of memories of the place that I could talk about. Doh!!!

2023 Season early bird information / sign up now available via the BSN website. Great value.

Cough cough High Beech

Yup

But honest and realistic.

Tip number one for any Speedway rider: stay away from Speedway forums.

Correct answer is in the lawyers office.

When he was announced I thought we had got a hair stylist in to make the team photo look better.

Got mine today. As bsn explained it would be actually cheaper than this season had they not had to register for and add VAT.

Depends which reduction 2.5% yes 8% no So the correct answer is that it'll be whatever the rulebook says, so we are going to be waiting another month ir two for a definitive answer.

Never "technically" retired Sir Les.

Ryan555 I stand corrected. I was basing my comment on the averages shown in the 2023 Signings topic, which states the 2.5% reductions had been applied in the team listings. This was not the case for Lambert and Mountain. Added a comment to the topic so the correct averages can be applied. Looks like a new calculator is not needed for Xmas after all.

Honestly, personalities and personal gripes aside, that team is VERY strong

Vissing & Zischke to complete the team?

Is this your team? 1. Pickering 2. Hook 3. Thomson 4. Castagna 5. Cookie 6. Lasse F 7. Bickley

...and more importantly fell out big style with the owner!!

No it hasn’t changed

Morris averaged 10+ last year, you don't do that inconsistently!

Now it might never come to anything, but the Facebook post very much said it would not be a sole purpose speedway arena and could be used for a number of events. There are a couple of sites on the agenda so a certain amount of homework has gone into it and to see how viable that is. The previous promotion of the speedway club were absolutely fantastic… until the final year or so and then into covid. A really sad and very abrupt end with various excuses given at the time other than “we had an offer we couldn’t refuse”

I dont think it was a week ~ more like a match. 3-0-3-0. I used to hate that.

Connor held his own at reserve for Sheffield and would be able to handle the number 6 spot. Regularly won heat 2 home or away and picked up plenty of scalps in heats 4 and latter heats

He's not strong enough to be a No.6 though imo. No.6's include riders like Kerr, Jakobsen, Rew & Brennan.

No beef ones

He knows nothing. Sorry he knows that Hibs are shi*e that’s about the crux of it.

Lewy would say that wouldn't he , I did say that , much rather have Kyle Newman

Same as go west... why west? Why not go east ? Maybe Ipswich should go east and look in a right field for a new signing...

Where does it say he turned us down?

Has had to become an expert at defending his position because he's painfully slow nowadays. Saw him at Peterborough a few times and it was sad to see him fall away so much

Claus + 4pt Aussie - u21 runner up Tate Zischke possibly

Absolute nonsense. He’s one of the highest averaged riders in the NL ahead of Stoneman, Coles, Atkins, Killeen, Pijper, Mulford etc. He hasn’t progressed as much as we all thought he would but he averages over 4 around Armadale so hopefully this will be the season he kicks on.

Team looks good, especially at home. Personally I'd have gone for a stronger "rising star" Connor Bailey?

Hard to see any partnership with football working. Unless you go below tier 5 it would be a very unequal partnership, and football fans expect to be near the action so having a speedway track between them and the racing is likely to be unpopular. Speedway tied itself to greyhound racing for 50+ years and that has been fraught with problems as greyhounds declined. A stadium that would meet with Cov City's requirements would cost north of £20 million. Who's going to come up with speedway's share of that (either up front or via stratospheric rents?)

What newbies would be my Question these days

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.

At the end of the day I`d have Harris over Schlein every day of the week.
