Sheffield booked the tiny No1 room with no sea view for £200 per night but at the last minute we're allowed to switch to the Robert Lambert penthouse suite (amazing reassessed at just £175 per night)

i hope for Scunny sake they don't move up, fixed race nights could be the downfall

6.39 average a lot more realistic from the one we signed him on

Well I'm sure getting a ban for cocaine use will be a big boost to his case for access.

Assuming Richie is factually correct. Bottom line is if he never had cocaine in his system he wouldn’t have got a £1,500 fine if he took his punishment instead spouting off all over social media he wouldn’t have got the £3000 fine. No point in blaming everyone else.

And everyone else’s.

Looks like Richie is done with speedway from his latest post!

He'll pay considerably less than half the current CL in the PL. But he'll not lose money and have a competitive home team. If they average 25 points away he'll save money. He is very pragmatic. He's outlived a lot of dream merchants.

Would two promoters sharing a room be classed as 'doubling-up'......

He could be the most important signing of all. Best in the business IMO.

They picked the hotel because they had heard it has plenty of "guests".... I'll get me coat...

Nothing better than abit of cocaine to solve all your problems....

Hopefully we see another statement from the SCB in the coming days, adding yet another fine to his existing two and impose the suspended element of his ban also, clown deserves all he gets

Oh the irony!

Mmm ... so some claim , yest still they come back for more every season. Do they really think 2024 is going to be any better than 2023 ?

The guy is a complete muppet...

Show me proof otherwise

Will he be able to resist another response? I hope not..

That’s a choice remark coming from a Poole fan lisa…..lol. Yet again……I was only answering someone’s question but so sorry if I upset you.

can only mean that when Rob is in Hungry for the fim meeting this weekend he will be finalising deals with Magic and Laguta wondered why he was shying away from signing Luke Harrison

well certainly some deluded folk on here probably listening to Lewy and his source who said Steve Worrall is nailed on for scunny

Please No.... Happy where we are

If its scratching around for a sixth team to make it feasible then it absolutely is unfortunately.

Having seen Rye House close after the decision to move up to the Premier, I hope Scunthorpe don’t make the same mistake. I have no idea of the cost difference between the two leagues but surely points money must be more.

It'd be naive to think this wouldn't be going through the accounts as a tax deductible business expense

The bar isn’t very high to be fair

A very strong rumour Scunthorpe will be in the PL 2024 .

Personally the riders named have been here and done a bit, but Rene Bach would be an ok signing, but may not be cheap flying in and out of the country, didn't our promotion say the team had to be at a budget they could afford, would like to see a team of tryers that would win at home. Than a few top riders who may bankrupt the club on the 1st season back.

Why should the Championship have to suffer to preserve the “so called” Premiership when only a handful of the different riders in that division are better than the present level of second division riders…..the majority are the same riders anyway. It’s a farce. I know it’s unlikely to happen but surely, logically, it’s time for one league with each team meeting twice home and away.

Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.

On a personal level, the guy's (Richie) obviously got some issues and should probably seek some help

A 'tax deductible business expense' is still an expense. It reduces your tax liability on your profit, but tax deductible doesn't mean free, it just means it ultimately costs less than it otherwise would. And of course it's an expense, which will come out of the non existent profits made by the clubs. Equally, speedway promoters are losing a crap load of money. I am not going to begrudge them an overseas jolly/business trip. Without them there is no sport as we have it just now.

Should that now not be the full 12 months ban as 6 months of it was suspended?

Lol. Something about the jury being biased? (If we are going on what he originally posted and not something in the comments).

Richie has another 30 day suspension added to his current ban following his social media outburst!! Plus a further fine! www.scbgb.co.uk

I see Richie's ban been extended 30 days for something said on social media I take it?

The best would be to stay put and see some great competitive racing.Premiership is a league of riders with too great differing standards .

Only available from august to October but the fridge is full of whine !

In fairness your probably right

Maybe it could be reassessed as he missed last season and a big chunk of 2022. Best interests of the sport and helping a British lad find a way back into the game. Would probably need another rule in the ever thickening book saying British riders who miss a season due to injury are entitled to a certain percentage reduction of their average.

Claus averaged 6.19 away from home in league matches this year, 7.23 including bonus points (riding with Basso). Don't understand why he's not in Glasgow's plans on a 6.24 average when over the league season he averaged 7.07, 8.00 included bonus points

Paul Starke? 4.10

Desperation if it happened. IMO.Do think the Premiership is on a spot of bother though.

Imo Doyle will be around for few years to come his GP days may be coming to an end but with regards the UK he is one of the top performers and has loyally ridden here consistently for many years . Whilst I am not a particular fan I do appreciate he is a points machine especially in the British league and I am sure any team would welcome him with open arms .

You lot can all think what you like. However, from what I'm hearing this is the strongest and most exciting Lynn team we have had in years

I didnt even know what a "Podcast" WAS....till I searched the interview on Google !

Only if he went to Glasgow lol

Judging by the look on his face in the photo above i think he had just been informed it had been postponed indefinitely.

I do find the use of averages still a completely unnecessary system where teams that are successful are ripped apart. Teams are built to a decimal off the daft points limit and then we see multiple team changes throughout the year. Riders should be graded and throw the calculators in the bin.

A couple of weeks before his failed test he said some cheap remarks about me and then said I should show him some respect, you can imagine how I laughed when he got caught
