You should have done your research before spouting P^sh not one Glasgow fan has said we are favourites. On the other hand fans from other clubs may have, so once again Arthur in talking Sh^te shocker.

if Pedersen rode in the UK, even now i'd have him down to get a higher average than Doyle

I really don’t get why you’d say that ? like I said he is marmite but he’s box office entertainer he’d definitely increase crowds levels where ever he rides so why’d you’d not want him racing in the UK is a total mystery to me .

Not us Glasgow supporters, more supporters of other teams making Glasgow favourites

When he rode for Poole he got (at Poole) 1 and 4+2. Then after he got sacked came back and punished us with scores of 0 and 1.

There's no point having a rule to stop the reserves swapping heats, while you can choose which reserve gets the easier number 7 spot. Imo should follow the Prem reserve rules "rs" or lowest averaged reserve has to be at number 7 & can't be replaced on heat 8!

Mate, what BS you talking?

Excellent show tonight with lots of interesting questions answered.

Anything less than a 4.00 would be an insult for "the hottest property to come from Australia since Darcy Ward" - as he was hyped-up, at the start of the year.

The team to beat.

You're asking the British Rumours Forum whether a rumour is true or not???

Didn't he basically clothes line Pedersen off his bike in Sweden once,that wasn't boring

As Frost/Mahoney found out when he was allegedly real box office. He wasn't the answer at 36 so buggered if I know what the question is that those singing his praises at 46 are currently tackling.

1. Glasgow 2. 3. 4 5. 6. 7 8. Edinburgh 9. Poole A slight change to my annual Edinburgh for bottom take this year.

You've missed Berwick out bonny lass lol

A new Aussie or Kyle Newman if he's fit.

I'm struggling to separate about 5/6 sides. Plymouth, Edinburgh, Scunthorpe, Poole, Redcar, Glasgow all look well matched strong in differing areas. Berwick and Oxford I just think 2 pointers at reserve will get you in the end, seen many Glasgow sides built that way did nothing. Birmingham unfortunately look weak again

In my opinion Rickarsson wasn’t a nice man, purely because he rode for IPSWICH and Poole, although he was good riding for Kings Lynn I never liked him.

Good luck to Jack, impressed me at Lynn last year before breaking his wrists and was doing OK at Oxford too.

Plenty - 6 in the whole season 3H & 3A, a 4 pt rider that averaged just over 2. I saw him on 2 occasions home and away against Glasgow and he scored 1 in both meetings. A wee boy who looked out of his depth. With all the 2pt reserves and in a second season hopefully he'll do better next year

Mulford has rode half a season for kent in champ and scored reasonably well at mostly no6 and a few wins

Jack Thomas officially announced.

If we have a new owner probably wants a big name signing but what’s the old saying a fool and his money soon part.pedersens not the answer

I know I’m in the minority but with the bonus point situation I don’t think Berwick are as weak as most seen to think,especially if Flint and Knudsen show improvement expected.Like the look of Redcar.

Glasgow the league favourites again? Good-oh. Always works out well…..

For dark horses don't rule out Plymouth, they've gained 2 top 10 riders in Richie Worrall and Kyle Howarth, and with Ben Barker that's 3 strong heat leaders and they will be pretty much unbeatable at home. And away, with those riders plus Dan Gilkes etc they're going to run a few teams close. Glasgow, Redcar and Poole will be the teams to beat I fancy.

I miss the banter and crowd noise of many years ago. Its very quiet compared to the local footy. The Son in Law asked if i wanted to go with him to a King's Lynn Town footy match for my first time a about 3 months ago. We stood with the noisy lot next to the away fans.. Only separated by a 3ft6 fence, about 10 feet and a few stewards. The "Banter" and some of Lynn's songs are ruthless... Even had coins flying about in the recent FA cup game. I've been to 6 now. The Boxing day game against local rivals Boston UTD should be a cracker.

Of course it's my opinion, that's why I posted it Scunny are dark horses for me.

Come on don't do a gating tart on us... You're better than that

Agree with you Lisa, some riders just don't like or get on very well at some tracks, Nicholls belle Vue, masters scunthorpe, Ablitt everywhere, but in a reserve berth with a 4.20 average which was obtained riding in the main body of the team keleher could prove to be very competitive, only better reserve so far named is zaine Kennedy at scunthorpe. Poole will have zach cook in the main body with an average only slightly higher than keleher which he got riding at reserve for most of the season, so imo if anyone signs him as a reserve it wouldn't be a bad option.

You both conveniently forgot to mention when he rode against Poole at Plymouth he scored 6+2. As for don't cross the boss,what a load of bulls***,2 sides to every coin and all that,we all know about the cliques at Poole,but it's not my place to say what the reasons for him departing Poole other than I think he was more than happy to getaway.

You don't get one as you said Coles or Ace!! Not decisive enough I'm afraid haha.

Haha she is 90! That is age not horsepower!

Does she know she is a better option than Vissing!

What exactly is there to "understand"?

I,ve said it many times before - promoting speedway as a 'family sport' has not exactly had the desired effect of increased crowds!? A few more 'handbags' and 'grudges' between certain teams/riders should be hyped up by local and social media and the clubs/riders themselves. Will 'fast and furious' attract more audiences than 'a family sport'? No brainer for me.

New Year’s Eve

But still a top rider this isn't the return of crump for example

Good old " ian thomas" in his book tells the tale how he would tell mr crane to put on a show shouting at the ref from centre green phone, got us kids shouting back at him ,all good stuff and sadly lacking these days

So next big anouncement tomorrow night and the last one on Christmas Eve... just keep on giving this Worky lot... UTC eh... Regards THJ

Only a off button would be needed

Plus Connor Bailey isn't 4.43. With the British reduction it is 4.32 I believe.

Mulford rode at ashfield for Kent behind closed doors. Was bang on the pace on a heavy track remember being impressed and bit surprised he's not come on more in the 2 years since. I've read more interested in the grass/ long track than speedway but given has place in both (three?) Leagues must be sign of commitment

Need to look a lot further south for the league favourites imo somewhere near Bournemouth a reckon again

EH!!!

Really looking forward to the new season now, exciting times ahead.

I had a feeling Claus would be the 7th rider announced

...and the moral of this story - as I said at the time - is 'Don't cross the Boss'!!

I'm lost... How much brighter do you want British speedway to be?? Let's take a look at how many let's say Bewley and under age riders there are kicking about 1 Dan Bewley 20/05/1999 2 Jacob Clouting 28/08/1999 3 Matt Marson 15/03/2000 4 Josh Warren 12/04/2000 5 Mason Watson 07/08/2000 6 Jack Parkinson Blackburn 02/09/2000 7 Sam Bebee 18/10/2000 8 Henry Atkins 02/01/2001 9 Tom Brennan 02/07/2001 10 Jordan Jenkins 02/08/2001 11 Kyle Bickley 27/02/2002 12 Anders Rowe 09/05/2002 13 Kyran Lyden 18/05/2002 14 Dan Gilkes 21/05/2002 15 Drew Kemp 11/08/2002 16 Connor Bailey 13/08/2002 17 Jason Edwards 14/09/2002 18 Leon Flint 22/02/2003 19 Kai Ward 29/04/2003 20 Gregor Millar 07/12/2003 21 Elliot Kelly 22/01/2004 22 Jordan Palin 19/02/2004 23 Nathan Ablitt 03/03/2004 24 Jake Mulford 04/03/2004 25 Harry McGurk 04/03/2004 26 Dan Thompson 22/04/2004 27 Joe Thompson 22/04/2004 28 Eli Meadows 23/04/2004 29 Mickie Simpson 21/05/2004 30 Sam Hagon 10/10/2004 31 Archie Freeman 29/11/2004 32 Sam McGurk 01/01/2006 33 Freddy Hodder 18/04/2006 34 Ben Trigger 27/05/2006 35 Vinnie Foord 13/07/2006 36 Ace Pijper 06/09/2006 37 Jody Scott 14/02/2007 38 Max Perry 29/04/2007 39 Luke Harrison 15/06/2007 40 Max James 05/07/2007 41 Ashton Boughen 21/08/2007 Every single one of these riders should be given the opportunity to ride in the BRITISH development league, regardless of average, attitude, height, hair length, toe count whatever... They're young British riders and they deserve every single opportunity they get to race and show their worth. 41 riders CURRENTLY riding in the British leagues who are younger than Dan Bewley (I may have missed some, and yes you could argue some (JPB) aren't riding anymore, but he seems to come and go and you could say some riders don't deserve to be on this list, but that's how so many young lads have been frozen out in the past, they've been discounted and not given the opportunities they deserve). 39 (Minue Bewley and JPB)/7 = nearly 6 full teams of ONLY under Bewley age... Not to mention all the other NL riders who are aged above who deserve a spot in the NL just as much... It's not the lack of riders that is the problem IMO, it's the rules of the league. The NL needs to be strengthened, it's too far away from the CL level, numerous young riders throughout the years haven't been able to make such a big leap and have been frozen out and lost to the sport... Open your eyes!! There's 5 riders born in 2007, 5 riders born in 2006, 11 riders born in 2004... All of these riders are still teenagers!! I would say British speedway hasn't looked this bright in decades?? Obviously there's way more Poles and quite possibly more Danes about, but I refuse to believe there's that many young Swedes or Aussies... I do look into that sort of thing because that's the kind of thing that (sadly) fascinates me... Who will be the big nation of the future...? That's not even including some of the younger riders who are only a year or two out. William Cairns Billy Budd Ashton Vale Jody Scott Stene Pijper I'm sure there's more... Who knows which 4-8 year olds are going about their day to day lives without realizing that they're the next big British speedway star... Time will tell. As you can probably tell I'm at work and there's not a lot going on... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Edinburgh's main issue is funds and geography...?
