Should have just binned this off if you’re not going to hold it at every track. Three clubs get a home advantage while the others don’t, just devalues the whole thing.

Its such a good signing, i dont think kyles been 100% fit the last few seasons, absolute bargain average too.

Certainly nothing up top

Not according to the interview with Ablitt in the Star.. A two year plan was drawn up re team averages it states, hence they had planned in this seasons team and then had to make changes.. However, let's be honest, thinking a plan would last two years is probably a bit naive... Having plans lasting ONE year is an achievement sometimes...

In fairness it was the Danny Ayres meeting where he got 1. By comparison Morley scored 2 and Hook got 3 and the podium was made up of Lawson, King and Heeps. As ive said previously im glad Congreve has got a NDL chance but its going to feel a lot worse if riders on comparable signing averages like Hodder, Simpson, Butcher and even Bebee miss out because of a dubious loophole that has been slammed shut previously.

What he was or wasn't last season is entirely irrelevant. By virtue of the Diamonds expulsion he effectively didn't exist last season. There was a lot of misinformation from the Diamonds promotion so who really knows but my understanding was that the Diamonds promotion didn't have a licence to employ work permit riders but could sign Congreve because he was able to take out an ACU licence. Not sure on what basis. There was plenty of content about it on the Diamonds 2022 thread at the time with most expecting his to be an assessed 2.00 as a result. The fact that he ended up being an assessed 4.00 didn't really matter as the Diamonds were incredibly under strength anyway. As I stated before it probably made the Diamonds line up look more acceptable than it ever was in practice. I think the key point is he couldn't have been a foreign rider because the Diamonds promotion didn't have the appropriate sponsors licence to employ such a rider. There really is no point in trying to make sense of any of this. The fact that he appears to have been given an assessed NL average which doesn't fit any known criteria tells you everything you need to know. It's all just made up to suit.

Very good, mate your patter would give a paracetamol a headache.

Lol. That’s right. Ben Cook will be a fans favourite within a month of the start of the season. A better rider than Batch next season and certainly better than Hans. Averages might not yet show it but potential is big. Fast gater, never gives up and is fast. But remember, he is a pirate first and foremost.

NKI Andersen Tungate Basso Holder Cook Jenkins 1.68 under limit Worrall to Ipswich

Credit to the lad, travelling half way round the world to race in the NL. We have had some English lads not willing to travel a lot shorter distance in England over the last couple of years. He deserves a chance in my opinion, just be good for someone in authority to clarify how he ended up with a 4.5 average.

When you're paying £22 for 15/16 minutes of racing you want to see Emil racing not Worrall and Hans!

Correct, although it would be nice if the management named the team asap to stop all the drivel being posted on here

Hope there's a bar as it's a tradition that Team Harrison and Mcgurk have a beer after any meeting there at together.

Sure in the Dan Ford interview he said sometime in January, so anytime in the next 21 days

I think I’m the only non - Birmingham supporter who likes the look of there team sedgeman turned himself around massively from a season where he was dropped by both his championship and premier team into a two point increase in his average and performing well at Sheffield too. Nick Morris scored himself out of position elsewhere this season, should be getting at least 5 rides a night so I’m hoping he does well. surely everyone can agree that the side looks stronger than what I did in 2022

I agree - whether it's plan A B C or D it won't be a make do set up

Close the door on your way out then.

I thought this was a speedway site, more particularly Poole!!

Shakespeare and Hathaway as well

Peaky Blinders and Happy Valley outstanding in my opinion. As for American football, having endured it on holiday... Any game that stops for adverts is a joke. I'd love to see them play either code of Rugby or Gaelic or Aussie Rules too full on for 80 mins without being able to stand watching for 80% of the game. Pansy game

Richie?take it you mean Lawson.Think they would have kept the same Heat-leaders though.Think that was the reason for the “lowered averages”.Riders have been doing it for years.

I'm really not that posh Guvnor!!

Easily on pace with Morley, Atkins, Coles on the Island....maybe not ahead but on pace. Certainly looks capable of NDL heatleader and only thing that is likely to hold him back will be his inclusion in my dream team.

Hume had opportunities and offers elsewhere this coming season but Louis refused to release him just in case he was needed. I wonder if Louis feels he owes him a team place now that all the others have moved on and completed their teams. He should do to be honest. You can’t deny the lad the opportunity to earn a living elsewhere and then not end up using him yourself.

See the brummie nutter is on nearly every team's forums pages as normal for him taking loads of crap.

Or you could flip that and say Kennedy and Thompson are younger and on the up.

So who’s that then you’ve named that many riders I’m lost

Question for people in the know THG maybe, is there plans for a clubhouse bar/food outlet, maybe port a cabins, like Redcar or scunny ? Fans can meet have a drink/food putting profits back into the club, I know it's still a few months till season starts but would be good to know

Danny Phillips now confirmed as a Bullet for 2023

Some things are well worth waiting for.

I just wanna know the team now waaaaah *stamps feet like a petulant child* hahah

If the Emil deal has fell through, it was always going to be a tough one to get over the line with all the red tape, although once it was discovered he couldn't play golf that was it!

Not quite... Michael Lowrie won the Scottish Under-21 title on 13 September at Powderhall (Edinburgh) which was part of the Scottish Individual Riders Championship, won by Scott Lamb, with James Grieves winning the Under-18 title. The Junior Championship was held at Shawfield on 13 Oct 1991 (points scored carried into the final - I don't have the race times) Heat 1: Grieves, Fraser Smith, Paul Taylor, Raymond Fosbury Heat 2: Stuart Coleman, Wayne Park, Stuart Crome (retired), Stewart McDonald (fell excluded) Heat 3: Coleman, Grieves, Fosbury, Crome Heat 4: Smith, Park, Taylor (only 3 riders) Final: Grieves, Coleman, Smith, Park (fell remounted) As Grieves & Coleman both scored 8 points, a race-off was needed, which Grieves won.

And get shot of Cook is what I meant,,, even Batch for Hans would be better

Andor, The Peripheral, Ted Lasso, House of the Dragon, Outlander are all filmed in the U.K. or have British cast. Get Nightwing or Moria, or The Crew on Kodi and never pay for a single streaming subscription. Takes 5 mins with a smart tv and a Real-Debrid subscription costing a few pounds a year.

Nathan certainly does have potential. Last year was a massive learning curve for him and a huge step up. No easy rides and because of having a stronger number t he was only getting three heats a meeting. Trouble was he rarely gated and gave the opposition a head start. After the second bend he was on the same pace but he does need to vastly improve his starts. I am sure he will be picked up by a championship club sooner rather than later as he has the beating of several reserves who are signed up. He’s a young lad with plenty of time on his side. Poland have seen something there. Enough to be picked up.

I wouldn't replace him tbh because he's improving all the time and the Showground will suit him down to the ground, I think he's going to be a good signing tbh. I would swap Andersen out though for Batchelor or Worrall (If one of them was available) as I think Hans is the only weak link in the side and he could struggle for a large part of the season.

Ah a bit similar but just guessing who the murderer is. I used to watch midsomer murders for that reason but always the most least obvious person!

He narked a lot of people off me included last year leaving the team 2 under, think he’d be lynched if he left us over 3 under!

Absolutely not a chance in hell those two are the final Ipswich riders. No Sayfutdinov is totally plausible, but he’s not leaving the team over 3 points under the limit.

As it stands you have Richie Worrall and Hume. Red tape holding up any move for Sayfutdinov but they want him

Will likely be released at the end of this week or early next week.

Perhaps not a number 1 but a commonwealth rider on a 4.5 average maybe. Riders like Congreve or Azza Jackson look a bit of a steal on those figures.

Tickets won't be available before February.

My definition of club bankruptcy

Congreve didn't have a CL average though. All his meetings were expunged from the records. To all intents and purposes he has never existed as a speedway rider in this country before 2023.

George Congreve to Mildenhall 4.50 Average

Regardless of being an asset a rider is self employed and does not have to wait if he got fixed up there would be nothing poole could of done . the asset system is entirely for the purpose of the bond to the Bspl

Thought this was a Panthers thread not Ippo...

Surely surely surely the team building rules should be in place for everyone? If Commonwealth riders have become (again) and rules amended (plenty or for/against arguments) the biggest corruption is that not all teams were made aware before they built sides?
