Solid fences and sandbags should have no place in speedway in 2022...

Lowering the points limit has never worked before don’t understand why they persist with this nonsense. All it means is mediocrity is being rewarded. And to compound matters they increase admission for a weaker product.

Ignore him he's the resident forum clown, everyone else thinks it's a decent deal and the best thing to happen to live speedway for many a yr

If you look at inflation £20 in 2022 is about the same as £10 was in 2000. I always like to pay as little as possible for anything that I can, but realistically it's still a £10 sport from 20 years ago, but inflation has meant it's now £20. I'm not defending promotions and money is tight but unless all speedway becomes NL level or lower it can't go below £20 really.

Ace Pijper is signing number 4: https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=477478057828699

Unfortunately this news is correct but fortunately he has full feelings in his arms and legs

He should end up with some home track advantage because he will have unrestricted access to Northside for as much practice as he wants which should sort the F situation out and with a mechanic like Steve Lawson supporting the home riders hopefully he can jump on those EF gremlins in the pits and that will be another problem put to bed...

Great! Nothing massively exciting about the Poole team in 2023. Will do fine but nothing that makes you think wow! I will never forget 2017 when Kyle decided to ride against us for Swindon in PO semi final. Glasgow are the stand our team, a very exciting team for the fans to watch on the terraces. They will be seeing a lot of over taking and riders on the boards, great entertainment for the supporters.

Ryan Douglas and Zaine Kennedy first and second respectively in today's North Brisbane Solo Masters Final promoted by Darcy Ward Promotions. Nick Morris had a 15 point max in the heats but finished 4th in the final behind Jacob Hook in 3rd.

20 quid will have the "£10 Sport" crowd up in arms.

Well they would do lol. Lawson is more than a gating tart, that some seem to think.

Only Morris can answer that one.

Paint it how you like but the fact is hitting an air fence offers way more protection than a wooden fence, if you don’t think so then physics isn’t your strong point.

Looks like all behind the rebirth of the comets mean business 1st what looks to be a great track now looking like a great team to go with it UTC

That's correct. If my memory serves me right he rode the next day as a guest and i think he top scored. Rule No.1. Don't try and pull the wool over Busters eyes.

If Newman is at reserve he will do very well against many of the other reserves so far signed. The chances are he would move up and swap with Jack Thomas who could be one of our second strings. He won’t swap with Zach Cook who has shown his ability and is likely to improve considerably further in 2023.

Sickens me that waste of space right turner is gp director. One of the filthiest moves I've ever witnessed. Was a miracle he got out the stadium that day

I am pretty sure his gating improved towards the end of the season as he had Tony Starke helping him in the pits with his clutch and bike set up with lee coming back after having time out and with extra weight he was carrying he had to change the type of clutch plates and tyre pressures he used ,he has also lost a great deal of weight and hopes to lose more over the winter and think people will see a slimmer Lee Complin come the start of the season think the racing at glasgow will be pretty exciting with the team or racers Glasgow will have

Brilliant, thanks for that and all the best next year. Just to get a reply from speedway people shows the difference with BSN. Thoroughly enjoyed last season and will be signing up to both the championship and premiership

It looked like a statement of fact to me.

That was his first year in the top league! He was young and hungry then.

£60-£80 on Beer! I suppose it's the best way to watch Speedway at Lynn

I'm sure we could afford one,,, but just won't get one,, it's just not worth the outlay

Lawson has been a fantastic rider in the championship for many years now. Don't get all this talk about number ones, an out and out number one is a rider who leads from the front and wins the big heats and Lawson is one of those.

How anyone can defend someone who ended a career and is using a bag to this day is not worth debating with.

good to see Macon included again, really like it there

Speedway has never quite been the same for me since that night. An awful experience as a paying customer and a Lynn fan.

Oh good, well done, top marks!!

I don't know, but the posts that the boards at fixed to look like they might be iron. When Rew hit the fence it didn't move. If the posts are wood it's the strongest bit of 2x2 i've seen. The other rider seemed to of hit the fence in between the posts luckily.

Freddy Lindgren walked back to the pits at Belle Vue in 2017, it all depends what feedback the rider gives the medical staff

Only person in country thinks that. He looked over right shoulder saw David and turned hard right put him in fence. Everyone there that day will tell you the same thing!!!

And showing he knows no more than anybody else in the forum

First off, i hope Rew has a speedy recovery But that track cannot be fit for purpose.I know you've gotta have a screw loose to do the sport, but surely any rider with a slight bit of common sense should have took one look at the standard and put their bikes back in the van? It just screams an accident waiting to happen, I know riders want to keep sharp over the winter but racing on that is beyond stupid.

Is that definite? For me that’s not great I thought I read he might not even be fit for the start of the season.I would like to go on record to thank Poole for giving the rest of the teams a chance because unless your other signings are going to be wonderful signings on low averages which you have managed to do in the past and fair play for that, your team by Poole standards is going to be bang average.

Hook third at that level, and Edinburgh holding NDL to ransom if they can't use him

I think its as simple as that, he did quite well at Lynn in 2019 but was quickly released in early 2021 after a poor start and wasn't great at Ipswich and then even worse last season at Sheffield. It's a pity but Prem clubs just don't seem to trust him or the baggage he seems to come with. I expect he will get a gig later on the season when injuries and sackings start to kick in.

That's true... but.... with teams folding etc., many have to travel to see speedway. Giving Diamondboy and myself as examples... to get to say Redcar (our nearest track) it's (let's assume) £20 to get in + £3 Programme + approx £10 fuel to get there and back (cheaper if shared obviously, but still "extra" cost). It's not "cheap" anymore, especially in the current financial climate and the extra admission prices just puts more people off attending. To answer your question regards admission prices at Newcastle in 2022 it was £18 for adults (and I'd guess it would be £20 in 2023 IF we had run).

I won't be missing any Lynn meetings this coming season hopefully.Just applied for a season ticket.First time in over 30 years.A saving of 20% for me as I do get a programme at the meetings.That could be a free pint for me at every meeting sort of

If your guess is correct then it pretty much points to Adam Roynon (3.47)?

Think they have. But probably left loop holes elsewhere

Actually 11.09. No Championship team is gonna sign a rider on that average.

Kinda expecting Cook to be announced on Christmas Eve, perfect Christmas present for Monarchs fans.

Jake Allen should have a 6.30 ave, Lee Complin 4.00.

That’s how I see it. Made by speedway folk for speedway folk, it’s got a family feel to it.

I already have asked lol

Still not had a answer to the above. Apparently he's very good @ spending other peoples money & also one of life's perpetual failures although of course he would tell you a completely different story! I would love to see a new track in Somerset BUT it will need the right people behind it PLEASE!

Good signing , should improve his average over the season.

Grigorij Laguta is also #111 ?.... But so too is Anders Rowe....

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!!!
