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.

Emil, Magic, Chris Holder, Bewley and to a lesser extent NKI, Lidsey, KK, back in the league can only be good for the league

Yes - you standing there to end the misery

Most would be happy with that team I would have thought. Doubt if we could have done much better without a major upheaval which nobody would have wanted. If Lasse gets himself a bit more comfortable with the Armadale turns next year we could do o.k. He looked really fast at Redcar. Almost certainly good enough for top 6 and maybe even go at least as far as this year.

Did you lot boo him ungrateful shower. You probably upset him to the point he threw the dummy out the pram. Ungrateful shower Lol.

King had some really awful meetings earlier in the season due to some real issues with his machinery.

Doyle Rew Kennett Manzares King Heeps Thomas

AKA R/R

I thought Chris Harris was second behind J Nettles so BB must be third.

Jake isn't at Ipswich

I guess we will know for sure when the trading accounts are publicly available on the HMRC web site. However long that takes for that to happen.

With Basso that was him and his machinery rather than the opposition. He had bike issues in the playoffs.

We'll know tomorrow night after the KL team announcement imo. If R. Worrall is announced at KL in place of TJ then we can assume TJ is at Peterborough and we could assume Ipswich have a strong No.5 (Emil) If TJ is announced at KL then it's pretty much a lock that Richie Worrall is at Ipswich along with Riss imo which would rule out a strong No.5.

Somewhere else

Has to bickley.if not this announcement then def one of the other 5.

For the last two seasons Poole have had the best team in the league, so you can't expect opposition second strings / reserves to do a great deal at Poole imo

I suspect you are right when it comes to the older, more established riders, they will know better than take too much notice of what is said online, but its human nature to want to know what is being said about us & I think that instinct is even stronger in the generation who have grown up with social media. I was surprised when I started helping out on Speedway Updates to get messages on my facebook from a few racers & family of riders who had obviously been reading the comments not just taking a quick look at the scores as I had expected them to.

Ringwood was better 3.70 (4.20). Seems he was worth another go.

Really good information on the summary page but I think the Plymouth figure which shows 31.09 should read 21.09. I am sure that the person updating the information would have corrected this anyway.

I did say i wouldn't want Dan Thompson as he hasn't had many good meetings at Poole but prefer him to having Kemp back and probably the best available on his average although a new Australian rider would be better.

Drew Kemp or Dillon Ruml to complete the 1-5?

Scream I think you are being a little silly. Barker has been a good rider for Plymouth i personally think he was silly with what he took but who is to say what I would do if in pain. I do not think it is even benefit of the doubt.

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

enjoyed the night out last night, but never would of guessed he liked coronation st, as much as Emmerdale.

He be a snip on 9.5 average in this league.

Birmingham total wrong-- should be 35.78

The Comets new web site is up and running: Workington Comets Speedway – Workington Comets speedway team based in Cumbria.

When you read the book you’ll understand why… Personal view, both sides need to grow a pair but PC comes out sounding very bitter at the end of the book (which is a shame as the rest is great). Whilst I don’t agree with BVs current position it’s their business to run how they feel.

I really don’t see why they have to keep lowering the points limit.Riders are watching their averages most seasons now.It means lesser riders can increase their earnings,being more sought after.
