  1. Basso is clearly a talent, do you think he can maintain the form in the 1-5?? Peterborough's strength for the Premiership will be the fact any of the 1-6 could spend time at reserve, that's a huge advantage. Peterborough has excellent strength in depth. Stronger than Sheffield, their power is from the 1-5. That No6 position could be the difference in winning the league. King's Lynn could be in the conversation too if they can fill that massive 7.62 Iversen gap
  2. So great to read that the AFA has finally produced some racing to be proud of, plus a win to boot. Fingers crossed for those that have stuck around it continues, obviously it's impossible to have every meeting a belter but hopefully this is a start. What was different to usual?? Will be a huge concern for the start of the Premiership when Iversen finishes his 28 day contract for the club & fans. Regardless of results going forward, Jorgensen, Lawson & Pickering should entertain (when on form). Kerr, Worrall & Jorgensen swapping places at reserve so always strong at No6. There is hope but can the management find someone to fill a 7.62 gap?!?
  3. AllYouCanEatChineseBuffetitis I'm hearing
  4. King's Lynn are losing Iversen with no viable replacement. Will be a scrap for 4th between Belle Vue, Ipswich & King's Lynn
  5. No, Wolves should be lower league (training track), the Premiership should be full throttle racing. Would have Glasgow replace Wolves, possibly bring Leicester & Poole back up
  6. I'm with you, moved just outside of Wolverhampton 5 years ago & been twice. Absolutely detest the place. For me, it's not Speedway as it should be
  7. Why would any team sign Batchelor & Heeps fgs. Funny though
  8. Exactly this ^^^ I genuinely hope the 'Day Before' call-offs becomes the norm. It's so much better for fans thinking as the previous options used to create real anger. Anger at Buster for opening gates Anger at rider's for refusing to ride Electricity costs Fuel costs Staff expenses Etc etc. British Speedway clubs can't afford these costs of a call-off & neither can the fans afford the wasted travel. Fans need to accept times are different & tight belts are needed. Just because a club owned by a multi-millionaire ran a meeting doesn't mean it's financially viable for all.
  9. Should be 28 days from first official fixture; 31st March. 28th April v Ipswich (H) should be Kildemand's return
  10. Not sure what's achieved here either. Racing to heat 10 to get a result isn't an achievement. Some of those their tonight may feel they wished the meeting had been called off, it's another short-changing for the punters.
  11. I'm all for moaning when things are wrong but the management are absolutely bang on with this decision. We've all complained many a time about turning up at tracks, watching tractors & blading going round & round only to be called off anyway. The cost of running electric, fuel, staff etc will be extortionate in 2022 so clubs can't risk it. The costs to fans in fuel travel is extortionate & many more than usual wouldn't turn up with a threat of rain, especially the cold early season. I'd hope this has become the norm now
  12. So are the Kildemand 'not returning' rumours true then?? Supposedly injured for the first month yet rides tonight in Poland for Gniezno
  13. We've never been a proper team in the top flight. We're the prop-up team in the top flight.
  14. The most significant difference between King's Lynn & Peterborough for Buster is clear. The lengthy track grades are to do with food & drink takings, to which he doesn't receive at the Showground.
  15. I get people's moaning, especially at £20 a pop but in all truthness, there's never been a Testimonial in any sport that's generally 'Top Draw'. It's about the rider & blowing out cobwebs. If you want decent racing, don't do Testimonials.
  16. It's the snowflakes that want Laguta & Sayfutdinov to remain. Now having both in the series could become dangerous for the other competitor's (in all sports) as assassinations from Spies could happen. Any Russian against the Russian operations are being required by Nationalist's to get called out & are being "dealt with" accordingly.
  17. Of course but they would have taken on a new asset list since Buster's ownership surely. Buster has a good business brain & there's absolutely no way he'd of taken on a club with no assets to fall back on. He knew from the start that the stadium was at risk, so he must have something to gain if the club folds??
  18. Good bit of business by Buster as he'd just move all assets to King's Lynn's books
  19. I think Iversen will end up staying the full season & Kildemand replacing someone else. There's always rider's getting banged up at the start of the year. I have to say, Iversen's name on the teams sheet looks good, like a team that could seriously challenge that Sheffield team in 2022. Keep him fit, on form & he stays, title challenge IS ON
  20. 100% Artem & Emil are merely suspended so their current status is they remain part of the 2022 series. The situation is no different to an injured rider where the GP reserves just flit in & out.
