Thanks for that update, I’d forgotten it’s a 28 day replacement. Certainly changes my thoughts on KL unless PK is able to find some form. Be interesting to see how he goes if and when he comes back.

Late to the table to pick but here goes. Prior to play offs. 1. Sheffield - on paper by far the strongest 1-7. Such a strong top 5 and if Nielsen stays fit are going to be a tough team to beat. 2. Peterborough- look stronger to me with Basso likely to be a big hit (given what we have seen so far as extra evidence). Palin is only going to improve more too. Solid throughout. 3. Wolves - a slight downgrade from last season. Worrall I think will do exactly as he usually does. Great reserve pairing with tons of potential. 4. Ipswich - Doyle should ensure they have a chance late on in meetings and a great top 2 with King. Going to depend on the likes of Batch and Heeps as to how much they will feature this year. 5. Kings Lynn - Iversen needs a season of no injury as it’s decimated his career the past 3 seasons. But way better than Kildemand so a huge step up. 6. Belle Vue - waiting on Bewley was the worst thing to do for the team so a costly mistake. Will need to strengthen up once the season gets going. Looks awful on paper.

Most Aces fans will think twice about Lawson being a ‘track specialist’ again tho I’d imagine. Aces out scored Wolves reserves 12 -10 NBJ won a race, so did Douglas.

By using your Lawson logic Morris could have got double figures as well.

Morris at least scored 3 times as much last time. At least this dispels the theory that Lawson is a NSS track specialist. would have been a much larger victory with Nick in the side.

Possibly. RR at Monmore makes more sense.

Morris has been in decent form this year so not by much at all.

Yes, the very same.

Really saddened today to hear of the passing of former Birmingham rider Archie Wilkinson. He never missed a meeting at Perry Barr since they reopened and was always in his usual position on the terraces on the home straight. My original hero as a kid I have had the pleasure of knowing Archie as an adult. Someone I’ve always had time for and has to be one of the nicest, kindest and helpful people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Such a sad loss to the world, RIP Archie.

The majority would say no tho I’d imagine.

And still won’t be enough quality riders for that to happen tho.

Yes they do.

They still have to win them in hand, which they don’t appear to doing right now but yes I agree on paper they should be in the top 4.

Message him and ask him. I’m sure he will tell you. Great to have people stepping forward to do the updates, we should be very grateful that people do. And very fair in his reports too.

Oops my bag, I’ve altered post for accuracy.

Possibly yea, good call. Although might be too late to make a difference to make the top 4 tho?

To be honest that’s how I read things. Rowe IS on the Rising Star list so can guest for another RS? He is declared in main team by Ipswich so can have a true average.

Nicki can’t under Polish rules.

Sam does a great job imho.

This line is trotted out when ever one of your chosen team falls and a section cheer. It happens at every track without any question yet posters seem to indicate it’s every fan at that particular track which as we know is total nonsense.

Hopefully so, needs to be on our screens more.

And obviously I didn’t agree with your original comment. Sam is a legend without question. (Queue laughing emoji predictably)

Fancy not winning at the track where they haven’t won at home? Oh dear. Well done the Stars, let’s hope it’s the start of improvement.

Sam is vastly experienced and knowledgable about speedway. He is exactly the sort of person we need on our speedway screens. Hopefully he will be back more regular. Great to see him and Jan adding comments tonight. More of the same please. You don’t have to agree btw, the more knowledgable ex riders the better.

What part of that comment don’t you understand?
