Jethro is the most famous Cornishman lol.

Who told me that I think it would be a sensible signing? Me; I tell myself things. Isn’t that how it works?

What is it with you and Aussie information? For someone so smug about being in the know your not very good at it

Go to bed.

That will be Klindt then

He is a number one but manages races very well and doesn't mind a team mate winning the race which helps keep his average down.

Was it not a similar situation with Grajczonek & Davey? Mitchell was thought to be the most promising but it turned out to be Josh!

That’s daft it’s been proven it was not a recreational drug he was daft for exceeding dosages of painkillers and the Plymouth promotion took him to a clinic for a drug test to prove it was just that and nothing more so I think your comment is frankly out of order like someone else has said if your in that much pain who knows what we all would do in the same circumstances.

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

@ragdoll64 wanted a reason. So there it is!

Greg Blair signs... But Luke Crang has gone, bit of good news and a bit of bad news I guess...

Taken from facebook THE LEGACY CONTINUES! Ladies and Gentleman please give a warm Shielfield Park welcome back to Greg Blair for 2023! The ultra popular Jedburgh based rider will also captain the Bullets side for the upcoming season and team manager Gary Flint adds, “Greg has proven to be a leader in the pits and on the track and we have no doubt that he is the man for the captains role. He’s a huge part of the club and his popularity on and off the track is largely down to his charisma and never give up attitude. His family history with the club is also legendary. For those who aren’t aware, Greg’s great grandparents founded Berwick Speedway back in 1968 and to be heading into 2023 with Greg being a big part of the action is very exciting”. Blair missed the last meeting of 2022 due to injury but a strict fitness regime and some time to refocus is working a treat and he adds, “ I’m beyond thrilled to be back for my third season with the Bullets and to top it off being asked to be captain of my home club is a massive honour for me! The last two seasons have been amazing, I’ve loved every minute of being a Speedway rider again and I’ve met some incredible people which have opened new doors in my life too. I’ve been hosting a live chat show and doing some presenting on the British Speedway Network & I really don’t think this would have been possible if it hadn’t been for the birth of the Bullets and to that I’m forever grateful. I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and I’ll see you all trackside in the new year x” Stay tuned for all things Berwick Speedway right here!

How about we look at a longer period like the whole of 2022. Official fixtures exc bonus Rider M R Pts BP Tot Av inc BP Av no BP Sam Masters 26 131 322 14 336 10.26 9.83 Ryan Douglas 20 110 264 7 271 9.85 9.60 Richard Lawson 37 177 408 28 436 9.85 9.22 Nick Morris 32 137 308 9 317 9.26 8.99 Josh Pickering 31 156 344 22 366 9.38 8.82 Erik Riss 26 125 274 18 292 9.34 8.77 Chris Harris 23 124 272 10 282 9.10 8.77 Kyle Howarth 31 150 328 17 345 9.20 8.75 Richie Worrall 34 165 357 15 372 9.02 8.65 Danny King 37 164 352 23 375 9.15 8.59 3rd over the whole season - sounds like a no 1 to me

If I’m honest I don’t really care what he does off track I pay my money to be entertained on a Tuesday night and he does that, I’m sure he’s done things in the past which he’s not proud of but I’m pretty sure all of us have done things in the past and with hindsight we wouldn’t do again. He will have paid his dues when the new season starts as for his misdemeanours last season it certainly cost him in pay days from Plymouth and Ipswich and being hurt in the pocket is enough to hurt all of us.

Think he was 9.85 in all comps post the finale. Saw Richard last year at Redcar looking for his team mate to get a bonus point or two. He plays the averages a treat, fair play to him.

Update from Tate Zischke's mum : Tate is out of hospital and on his way back home to Queensland. He has NO broken bones and NO internal bleeding. He just cannot remember the final where he finished 3rd behind Fricke and Sedgeman, with Rew 4th. NB.Tate was the only rider to head Fricke in the meeting!!

To be fair, we've signed some pish.

Agree about the pain issue but you have to admit there have been problems at other clubs he has been at. Barker's an exciting rider to watch even if he can seem a little out of control on track at times. Hopefully his uncle Mark will keep an eye on him.

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.

When Kent ran at Central Park they got noise complaints weekly even on rain off fixtures and throughout the winter! I wish Greg and the consortium all the best with thier efforts, certainly no lack of funds or enthusiasm i just hope they don't get too carried away without some sensible planning.

I obviously didn't read it close enough!

Oh I do hope these Magic rumours are true. It's time we started announcing the team for me now. Especially given king's Lynn are announcing tomorrow night

Panthers number 1 apparently

I don't even no why this is a discussion he's a top man in cl definitely a out and out no1 solid every where he rides. The stats above prove that

Luke Crang, very decent, experienced heat leader

Yes but I think he gets more than 6 on normal form even against our team.

Jake Allen is on 4.00. Could slot in at 2, keep Rew at reserve, and more importantly keep Spiderman1 happy.

Not really proves he was very good for a short period! Though for whats it worth Lawson has always been a very good heatleader

When he was at reserve at Poole he scored well and Leicester won so not sure you can say it's just the standard of opposition.

It’s only what we have heard on here even from one of your own, personally can see one off them at Glasgow but not both.

When it matters who would you want going out to win you a heat in this league the ones I mentioned,Lawson for me you can guarantee he will win the majority of heats,and I think Poole we’re careful with there heatleaders averages trying to keep them altogether if that wasn’t the case I think he would of been around the 9.00-9.50 mark no problem,but these days you do that all likelihood you put yourself out of a team place. Id have Lawson over both of the other Poole heatleaders from this year absolute class in this league

Is that just an assumption, or hearsay or can you show evidence of that?

See the POOLE 2023 thread for the latest update on Tate's crash

Vissing also fits with the young Aussie as does the 5 point Aussie.

Needs to be tight after losing 250k last season

Yes some confusing reports coming from Gillman. Sorry for any misleading info. Hope all riders are safe and well.

Duly corrected thanks I must have a word with my Aussie source who was at Gillman.

Ringwood deserved a second season IMO, he was better than the others around this era but not to be.

My mistake - must be one of the other Davies seeing as there are at least 10 of you. Who am I? I’m Wee Eck. That’s my name on here. Same as yours is davie10

Complin still fits with a young Aussie who I believe is being mentored by Darcy ward & from what I've been told the kid is something special !!

In an ideal world the top 6 or 7 riders from last year would have left the Champ & just done Prem with Poland / Sweden. That would have lowered costs with the highest earners missing out. Also should've made the standard of top & bottom Champ riders closer together for better racing. As what always happend though, top riders are retained, 2.00 reserves added in, 4/5 point riders miss out & the gulf between the strongest & weakest in the Champ gets larger!

I don’t think the two in question would have any trouble hitting the ground running and some.

He be a snip on 9.5 average in this league.

Take him over complin personally lol.

Birmingham total wrong-- should be 35.78

He`d be even more popular if he wasn't behind in the first place.

The days of a weekly fix of Speedway are dwindling away,I fear that will have knock on effect with the fans.
