Then pull out. The CL shouldn't be backed into a corner by one party, or a minority of parties.

Have you forgotten the war of 1015-18 when Norway did invade Sweden?

Give me 40 with an 8 team league and 2H2A, rather than 38 with a 9 team league and 1H1A.

if Oxford turn up tonight they'll walk it

I know it really shouldn't be in this section but come on, give me some slack on this to get some publicity! Eastbourne Eagles are riding on Sunday at Iwade Sittingbourne against the Thurrock Hammers (Arena/Lakeside) The meeting starts at 12pm. Gates open at 10am, Raspberry lane, ME9 8SP Adults £13 Concessions (60+) £10 Children under 16 free with a paying adult. And what a line up managed by Eagles legend, Dave 'Floppy' Norris. Scott Nicholls Edward Kennett Nathan Ablitt Paul Starke Jody Scott Henning Loof. Should be good fun with that line up!

Regular speedway is a must.

Good then they can have 2H@2A lol

You're forgetting, Arnie, that woke can mean anything the speaker or writer wants it to mean. Usually it just means anything you disagree with.

It's pure capitalism which is the very antithesis of woke.

because hes ridden for us before because he is excellent round lynn because leicester might need to let him go to get under the points limit and at the end of the day these kinds of threads are about predictions/ wishlists / speculation and essentially having a bit of fun i dont think anyone would be surprised if he remains a lion but you never know

I can only speak for me, but I'd pay for it.

Don't see the fascination with Ellis. Another who goes missing when needed most. Him and King really needed to step up this year when the top two were injured but didn't. Ellis has been around a while now , has to be well over 10 years and is still not a heatleader and is injury prone. Would get rid.

lewy 44 minutes ago the obsession is real

He said that last year, gonna comeback this year in the gp’s and see the new me. That went flat.

They're called voices in your head, not rumours.

Well it only lasted 3 minutes 😛

The Wimborne road track has never really been spot on has it..

If the forcast is right and we get a completely dry day tomorrow the track will be spot on.

Phil Morris spoke to a Polish journalist about Emil and Artem. Here is the story: https://po-bandzie.com.pl/zuzel-morris-zabiera-glos-ws-laguty-i-sajfutdinowa-podsumowuje-tez-sezon-gp/

Which is good news. But as the promotion has recently stated, the overall level this year, although better then in recent times have still not been at a level to meet the running costs. If there is to be a 2025 season at Perry Barr, the promoters (and everybody else) know that it will be the last season due to the unavailability of the stadium and in which case, is there a worthwhile reason for running a team with the prospect of losing more money and with no chance of recouping that loss in future years?

Be very happy to see Tom B at Foxhall

Doyle and Mickelsen would of been top 6 had it not been for injury so no surprise with those two picks. Kvech + Huckenbeck are simply in for commercial reasons (Czech + German SGP) although I have nothing against either rider and they were certainly offering something to the SGP. Madsen without the personal problems and able to concentrate on speedway would be more competitive than the latter two. Could it be that if 3G Logistics his ex partner was involved with still a lead sponsor ??? With so much press and even some FIM representatives banging the drum for the return of Sayfutdinov and Laguta back in the SGP I thought it may be possible but not to be. Nothing against Kvech and Huckenbeck but a little underwhelming.

I can't abide the fellow but he deserves his place this year without a doubt !

Many of us watch Polish Speedway similar to the way we watch UK Speedway... ie. More "sports entertainment" than a bone fide sporting contest.. However. In Poland, it is very much "winning matters" as financially there are big rewards, and tonights result will be lead news in the national written and TV news coverage this evening and tomorrow... We might want to be "entertained" but Lublin and Wroclaw fans only want to see their team win.. And if they get entertained too, then that is a bonus..

Yes - basically capitalism in operation, about the least woke thing you could imagine

Rob Lyon said in a recent podcast that there is NO chance Lynn will be dropping to the championship, as we’re a premiership club… simple as that

Always plenty gossip to keep us fans occupied in the winter.

BBC lol. They always say it's raining. Lost count of times they say thunderstorm and nothing happens. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcn8db1mu#?date=2024-10-09

🏁 CALLING ALL PANTHERS FANS! 🏁 The planning meeting for The Showground is approaching and we need YOUR help! After such a brilliant turn out for our rally last November, we're in need of a great turn out once again! 🗓Tuesday 15th October 2024 ⏰1:30pm 📍Sand Martin House 👉Please come in Panthers colours!

Although I would take Hodder at Berwick, for his own development he would be better elsewhere,don’t think you learn the Technical skills at a track like Shielfield .

a strong Poo;e team only scoreing 53 points at home is NOT a strong team . you need to hope its a rain off , Poole riders walking out with coloured flags ... but white ones ..

Everyone Poole bound according to people on here 😝

Richard Lawson guested 3 times for Berwick scored about 43pts, so if that is the way it works must be nailed on for Berwick eh no. Freddy had had a very barren spell points wise until that guest appearance for Glasgow. I think depending on NDL format he will stay at Belle Vue Colts who ride normally on a Friday night, and he has already said he would like to be back at Berwick 2025 who persevered with him all of 2024.

No problem. I understand that. My reply was to save you wondering

Spot on assessment.

Hodder ?

Zmarzlik’s victories are not tainted and he is a legit World Champion.He doesn’t select the opposition and statistics are just statistics they bear no resemblance to what happens on track.GP’s format and selection process is the biggest problem( done for Commercial Reasons).Has there ever been a perfect process for getting the best 16 riders into a World Final.It is what it is.

She is most certainly is not alone in that opinion !

Can't be your first experience of shovlar painting Poole as rank outsiders and any win would be against all odds surely?

Richard Palmer

I think he's a long way from Championship level. Clubs should be looking at NDL heat leaders for their reserve berths.

Foe me keep Tai and Chris Holder and release Jack Holder.

From a purely business standpoint, that makes perfect sense. Why lose money on the NDL if you can just pick up promising riders anyway? Perhaps there should be some incentive for NDL teams, if clubs sign your riders, pay you a "training fee"?

Not embarrassed in the slightest. Speedway existed up until 4/5 years ago without the need for reserve teams from other clubs. Was a thriving NDL on its own right. Btw I have little interest in premiership either, that embarrassing too? The champ imo has always had the most entertaining product until Mr Morris has come along and tried to run it into the ground to try and maintain a premiership that's been on life support for at least a decade. I have knowledge of the NDL and the riders coming through, I just don't find Joe Thompson winning most heats by 3/4 of a lap entertaining and wouldn't pay to watch it. Get it?

Very unlikely but we would all love to see your back as you leave the forum.

I'm sure the real money coming from riding in the GPs would be sponsors, the prize money (at least for the top riders) I'd guess is more a bonus than anything

Apart from last year then?

Server upgrade removed somethng and it took me a while to figure out what! I will have to take the forum offline in a few days for a few hours to do some upgrades. Thanks, Phil

That’s great news & a huge relief.
