Nah, he's not for me. I've seen Heeps get round better than that at his heaviest. Emil's a reserve at best, you heard it here first

Embarrassed to be an Ipswich rider he had to cover up the logo. Clear evidence of just 'taking a wage' Tin pot club

As I understood it, if a rider's choice is to compete in the Premiership outside of the 'Rising Star' system they then cannot go back in to it in following seasons. May be wrong though

There have been lots of questions over many year why British riders fail to establish team spots in the British top flight. Even the Championship has a high number of foreign rider's, which in turn see many British riders 'stuck' in the 3rd tier. As a thought, should we have stringent restrictions, i.e. Foreign Rider's; ° All GP rider's with 3yrs+ experience should automatically be 8.00+ (including Brits -25%) ° SEC / SGP / SWC rider's with 3yrs+ experience should automatically be 7.00+ (including Brits -25%) ° New rider's to the BPL are automatically 4.50 & can never be below. ° Rider's over 25 are automatically 6.00 & can never be below. For Championship, add 1 point, excluding SGP rider's with 3yrs SGP experience within 5yrs of BCL signing. Just an idea. Any good??

See what Ipswich have done there. Saved a few hundred on a new race suit & permanent-markers a line down the 'a' & written 'o' 'n'. Thomas >Thompson Just got Emil & Jason in the team but can't afford a race-suit for the new guy the cheap b@stereds Tin pot club

Absolutely, the 1 minute is only for false starts. No excuses for any rider to miss those. Fallers, tape touching etc will be the usual 2mins. Don't see the issue at all.

Anything if they're willing to participate in a sport that has passed all health and safety checks. So, what would you change at Scunthorpe?
-
What do you suggest that wouldn't cause track closure?
-
We still have this problem at GP level, Poland's Exstraliga etc, it's not just a Scunthorpe thing of solid-state fences. Scunthorpe is no more dangerous than any other track around the world. We've had rider's suffer just as severe injuries with airfence's on wooden & chain-link fences.
-
GP / International rider's crash in to the fence at King's Lynn, it also has an unmovable armco barrier, held SWC meetings, what's your point?
-
That doesn't mean anything. They're all young an inexperienced rider's, they'll crash everywhere. Plus the fact Kennedy has signed for Scunthorpe clearly indicates he has no problem with the track

Phil Morris appointed Premiership CEO
Daniel Smith replied to NeilWatson's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Not doing a Manchester City here is he, being on Belle Vue's 'back-door' payroll somewhere down the line?? You always know something & to be happy it must benefit Belle Vue, I'm VEEEEEEEEEEERY suspicious now Zmarzlik for Mulford 24hrs before the Play-Off Final already planned is it? Huh, huh, huh, huh, yep, yep. I gotcha han't I -

Making the rules is not his job. This will still be on the Promoters. He will recommend ideas & be sole interpreter of said rules. No longer (as happens all to often) one promoter rings another on how they interpreted a rule. If it's not what they want to hear they'd ring another until they get the answer they wanted to hear. Then stake claim that it not just them that sees a certain situation as they do, and works it to their own benefit. With Phil Morris as sole interpretater it's his way only & matter of fact. -

And the relevance of this question?? Every club pays in to BSP Ltd every year. It'll financed by that. Yes & No. He'll have to visit every Premiership track on all Monday & Thursdays to oversee the running of meetings, from track prep to close. Will be a similar position & work alongside on occasions, with what Tony Steele on behalf of ACU & SCB. It's one hell of a job he's taking on. Probably won't see any real change for 2-3 seasons. Over seeing the rule book & working for Discovery (especially temp track weeks) & BSP Ltd is going to be nuts busy for the guy. Good luck to Phil -
The numbers don't lie, if every rider in the league maintained their rolling average, Belle Vue & King's Lynn are Play-Off finalists comfortably. As we know, speedway isn't like that. Personally, Ipswich are the favourites for me. Any team can be 10-12 up after 9, but when you have Doyle, Sayfutdinov & King to close a meeting, those points can be wiped out in an instant. In the real world, how likely is it these 3 stay uninjured? Very very unlikely imo

They can no longer afford his current wage demands. It's been mentioned by some Wolverhampton fans that money is an issue & Lindgren was wanted by them. -

Agree to a point. Nicki Pedersen is a nostalgic signing. For me, having Dan Bewley back in the league is a bigger signing. Emil is a genuine World Class signing & it's a shame imo Peterborough couldn't get the Lindgren signing over the line. -
Team strengths by official rolling averages. How close could it be to being accurate without injuries?? Belle Vue taking a clear advantage with Brennan's reduction, can he maintain last yesrs form? Ipswich extremely top heavy but are actually 2nd in real averages so should be a good year. Then at the other end, Peterborough's numbers are surprising, almost 2 points off top 2, will it be a tough season for them in the real world?? Questions questions, LET THE TAPES UP BEGIN 1. Belle Vue (40.27) 2. Ipswich (39.98) 3. Sheffield (39.34) 4. Leicester (38.97) 5. Wolverhampton (38.85) 6. King's Lynn (38.64) 7. Peterborough (38.31)
