Ask Oxford...

Believe what you like, but the Poole No.7 has literally signed a contract to ride until the end of June. Please go and ask him if you don't believe me.

Harry. Apparently Everybody's Talking.

Surprised that Berwick Management have not commented on the Rory rumours one way or other.Did he sign for next season and is in the Team.

Have you ever considered the possibility it may just be YOU? Having had dealings with the Triggers for a number of seasons and on a weekly basis last season I found them all to be lovely people, Ben is still just a kid , looking to have fun, and occasionally has ‘too much sugar’ but you get that with all kids looking to enjoy life. Lighten up !

Well someone of that sort of ability indeed! But magic and a little bit of coercion that other Clubs don't posess gets them on a 4 point average to fit in their Poole team!

I think it is safe to say that this is a dilemma he won't need to face ..😁

Nathan's the lad who, at the end of 2023, chose not to travel up to Armadale for the final NDL match of the year "because it was raining, and might not be on". BV Colts had to run without him, lost the match and -- quite possibly -- the league. Doesnt seem to be a willing traveller!

I hear that the F1 World Champion, Max Verstappen, is to do Community Service in Rwanda for swearing during an interview. Where would it be appropriate for former speedway World Champion, Tai Woffinden, to do Community Service in view of his past tendency to use foul language, and what should he be obliged to do?

I reckon I'll be partaking in one for the first time since the Waggy years, very decent value.

how many people are required to start a rumour then?

Ooh this could get really messy, especially if riders are signed and then a switch to a potential north/south split occurs. North - Edinburgh, Workington, Middlesborough, Belle Vue & Scuffield South - Oxford, Leicester, Birmingham, Kent & Plymouth (can't see Kings Lynn bothering if its a 5 way split) North looks ok and would open a path for Glasgow to join 2026 but South would be nervous with 2 only established teams and the others re-joining this year and Plymouths reputation of NL hokey cokey might make future seasons less viable......that said when has Speedway ever planned for the future.

When does Nick Morris ban end 👀

One thing I was always critical about was that season tickets didn't offer value for money. You often only had to miss one meeting for any saving to disappear. But for the past couple of years things have been much better in that regard and think the 2025 one offers some decent value. As someone who attends every home meeting and always buys a programme, a saving of £6.50 makes the risk worthwhile. Add in that it's a team I'm looking forward to watching plus being able to walk straight in without hardly queuing, makes getting one a no brainer for me.

Woffy might wear a tin foil crash helmet, cos it's lighter

2025 SEASON TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE - King's Lynn Speedway - The Home of the Stars

and that’s why many of the kids don’t last long, they forget to have FUN ! Look what happened to Joe Haines, Kyle Bickley and quite a few others….all very professional and burnt out before they were in the mid 20’s !

Cheers, if someone say's Hook should be doing better - fair point, or there's better riders available - could be, but he's not improved or Leibmann's better - strongly disagree.

Goodness me, how did I do that lol!

Just as well Danny Ford not on the BSPL Board anymore, so not sure where any 'coercion' could be excerted.....?!

Welcome to Workington Jacob Hook Happy with how our team looks for 2025, plenty to look forward to and riders who will make for exciting racing around Northside. Well done to the promotion and all involved!

Sorry for the slow update. Christmas night out yesterday, with slow recovery 😆. 11 places left, broken down to: Berwick (2, points available: 7.33) Edinburgh (3, points available: 15.55) Plymouth (4, points available: 24.63) Poole (2, points available: 6.32) ----- Riders from this years CL yet to have a team (excluding those confirmed not racing CL this year): James Pearson (5.51) Matic Ivacic (4.00) Jack Smith (3.73/3.64 🇬🇧) Jason Garrard (2.00) Paul Starke (3.45/3.36 🇬🇧) Nico Covatti (7.82) Ben Barker (5.98/5.83 🇬🇧) Patrick Baek (4.00) Connor Bailey (5.10/4.97 🇬🇧) Ben Trigger (3.08/3.00 🇬🇧) Claus Vissing (6.34) Sam McGurk (2.00) Celine Liebmann (4.00) Paco Castagna (7.11) Connor Coles (3.33/3.25 🇬🇧) Max James (2.00) Adam Roynon (3.55/3.46 🇬🇧) Sam Hagon (4.85/4.73 🇬🇧) Michael Palm Toft (7.80) Nathan Ablitt (5.04/4.91 🇬🇧)

It was a sarcasm Mr Worrall, you are talking like he's the Second coming of Christ. If Glasgow want to pin hopes on 2 guys potential who averaged a combined 2.56 then fair enough All I'll say is watching Sam McGurk who somehow averaged more than both of them was painful.

Freddie Hodder won the Stars of Tomorrow competition in September, ahead of competition from the likes of Connor Coles, Jake Mulford, Jody Scott and Acr Pijper. The same Freddie Hodder scored 6+2 while guesting for us at home to Oxford at the tail end of last season. Our top five will throw every single other team in the league around like a wet towel, but make no mistake: the acquisition of Freddie Hodder is a strategic, planned piece of business. The exaggerated focus on our reserves is an attempt to persuade themselves, not us, that everything will be okay.

You shouldn't need to have to keep up with the rules, when Birmingham announced his signing, should have said what average he was on, same as Oxford with Kildemand. Can't think of any reason why they don't!

I certainly wouldn't want to be forced to pay for a programme. Rarely buy them these days as I use an app. Petrol and entrance and drinks are enough for me. Not sure why programmes are sold separately - have them available at the box office then if you are paying by card you only pay once and don't have to worry about cash

Mike Broadbank, without a doubt

I agree he's older than McDiarmid and his record is nothing to shout about, but I believe he's a late convert from motocross so probably has less experince. Also recently third in NSW under 21 State title [14 pts in heats = Tate Zischke] And for the record I haven't started a rumour, merely listed the most likely candidates for the subject of somebody else's rumour. PS I omitted Matt Gilmore as he doesn't appear to be racing.

When Eastbourne rode at Arlington fans came from all over south east with many having a journey of 60 mins plus. There’s no walk-up crowd as there is at Oxford or Poole for example. Arlington is down a narrow country lane off the A22 in the Sussex countryside as Mr Millard was apt to say on Sky

Visit the NSS twice a week to polish the Premiership Trophy....

Really pleased with the way Lynn have gone about their business for 2025 season. Feels the club is more on front foot. Hoping for good season and one that is injury free (for all). Team chosen and switch to Monday race night should eliminate all that Polish nonsense suffered in campaign just gone. Live too far away to buy season ticket but its good value.

Stays a few seasons!

Dont get too excited too soon, lot of rumours about discontent in this NDL 2 set up . It certainly doesnt make sense geography wise when Workingtons neighbours, Edinburgh , Redcar and Sheff/Scuny dont have to travel to Plymouth , Kent or Kings Lynn in mid week for a meaningless development fixture. Surely a north south split would have been more sensible and might even attract fans to travel.

I don't think he's "that good" I think he's a 4.2 point rider, which is basically what the club had available for the last spot. If he had improved further, he wouldn't fit in the team. 2022 at Edinburgh 2.78 2023 at Edinburgh & Berwick 3.74 2024 at Plymouth 4.19 How has he not improved? Celina averaged 2.45 this season, why would you prefer her in the team?

There’s a reason clubs haven’t touched West, doesn’t come with a good behaviour sheet let’s put it that way.

Haha, not bringing out the old Poole get preferential treatment again!!

if thats true then alarm bells are ringing (or should be) regarding our governing body

Surprise no one has mentioned Kelly Moran.

That's rubbish. If the Poole reserve rides well enough to outscore (say) Tobias Thomsen -- by no means an impossible target -- he would be retained.

Col Cottrell, the original 'armchair rider'.

If I look at photographs from back in the day, I can always recognise Ken McKinlay and Charlie Monk. Ove Fundin is pretty easy to identify, too.

The app would update automatically, I assume with info ref puts into his online official results sheet

The 1-5 is the best in the league and Freddy Hodder will be one of the better reserves. It's a very scary looking team indeed and it has league champions written all over it. A great team-build by the Tigers this season.

Frank Smart, head under the inside bar Carl Wilkinson, last of the leg trailers

I see lots of people without a programme, and if my Wife comes with me, we only buy one programme, so putting the price up even higher (perhaps by £3) to include a programme is not a good idea in my opinion.

Howarth will add a point to his average riding for Glasgow next season, had too many meeting for Scunthorpe having 6 rides (covering for MPT) which always makes it hard to maintain average. The track will suit him more than Scunthorpe which was hard on bikes with all the holes and bumps in it. Was told he cracked 3 frames in home meetings due to roughness of the track which shouldn’t be the case at Glasgow. I believe that they have got him on a bargain average

The fact that two well respected members are having this discussion proves one thing. It's a TYPICAL half baked , finger in the dam, cock up from the BSPL to no doubt placate some one or others and in so doing just muddying the waters more and more. Only in Speedway!

I cant imagine any "assets" of the Derwent Park promotion were moved on to the Northside revival. Any old assets would have reverted to the BSPL after 2018.

Oh get over yourself you miserable git

He moved to Paisley.
