  1. My prediction for the top 2 and bottom are: 2 teams that finish within the top 4 The bottom team is the one that finishes 8th
  2. Harris thinks he's good enough for the SGP
  3. Wouldn't mind Josh G at King's Lynn for sure
  4. I've changed my mind, Coventry are looking a terrible side compared to what Belle Vue are knocking together
  5. When Nicholls gets confirmed Belle Vue will be certain favourites for the title with the promoter's showing ambition in their first season at a new home. Home advantage early season will be difficult but the power of this team top to bottom has strength in depth Better start knocking up a Stars 2017 thread already
  6. I'm confused on how Coventry have built the side. They now have their 2 heatleader allocation but are left with a space of a 7+ average rider which would be another heatleader. Saying all that, if KK gets going again in 2016 I think the Bees look good.
  7. It's about being competitive. Now Niels is gone it looks unlikely we'll be that. Niels saved our skin home and away time and time again.
  8. At the 1st meeting I'll have a half pound bacon cheese burger and a pint of Carling please __________________________________________________________ Now confirmed Iversen will not be returning to Kings Lynn for 2016 We're fooked
  9. Remember, I'm trying to predict the look of the site without Iversen. It doesn't matter what gets thrown together, it doesn't look great without him in
  10. Can picture the Stars disaster 2016 now 1. Watt 7.19 2. Bech 6.16 3. Lambert 6.59 4. Schlein 6.24 5. Batchelor 6.91 6. Kerr 4.22 7. Rose 3.00 Ave: 40.31
  11. If Iversen isn't in we just have no hope and a drop in attendance could be on the cards. Disaster
  12. I think a bigger crowd for the race-off has nothing to do with lack of national support, more to do with us seeing the Star riders less and less, year on year live at our tracks
  13. Negative spin time. Could these signings be sweetner to keep the fans on side but hold no damage to rider's if the stadium doesn't happen? The situation would be worse for a higher standard rider Just a thought
  14. Once the BSPA included rider's like Howarth who was a 2nd string last season PL averages was the only option.
  15. Lewis Rose lives in Sutton Bridge, South Lincolnshire. 9 miles from the Adrian Flux Arena
  16. And there you have to ask the question, connection with the fans? Over the last 2-3 seasons that has been terrible at our own club. Last season, the worst is ever been imo. We were left in the dark week after week and only let his feelings known at our very last league match. I agree though, he'd be a HUGH success but I repeat, the other promoter's won't allow the changes he would like to see I have no doubt about that. Trying to get past the 'old boys club' is one hell of a challenge to take on. For the sport, I really hope he pulls out off but just don't see it
  17. For some it will be. There's been to much reading between the lines by some
  18. Fixed race nights are good to a point. That point is injuries to heatleaders. R/R or squads just won't cut it for me. As I've mentioned before, quite simply restrict the number of time EL teams can ride in a week i.e. 1 home, 1 away. That is as good as fixed race nights but better imo. Calendars can be planned much better for the top riders + those doubling up. The plan would then be the EL release their fixtures, then the PL works around their double up riders to minimise fixture clashes, then the NL release theirs. It's very simple but I know what some are going to say with their blinkers on, "why should the PL work around the EL?" It's simple, we have to make the Elite League the pinnacle of British Speedway and an aim that all British riders want to be at. It the produce at the very top is good, it then filters down to the lower leagues. It's all about working together. The Elite League is what sells the sport to future sponsors, future riders, future fans. We have to get it right, now. Buster is the ideal, but I just think the other promoters will as always shackle any improvements.
  19. Or he wants to say farewell to the fans face to face and show his appreciation of the support given?
  20. Moaning about nothing. Do we really need a list? Just convert all British PL riders averages, just use a bit of common sense and you can roughly work out who'll be in it
  21. BSPA Chairman's Stars XII 1. Iversen 2. Pedersen 3. Woffinden 4. Kildermand 5. Doyle 6. Lambert 7. Kerr
  22. It doesn't look like there's 2 tier groups for reserves. There's probably a batch of about 15-20 British rider's with converted PL averages and those that were in the tier 2 last season will likely all be on the standard minimum of a 3 average. It's now a free for all to sign whoever you want, they way it should be.
