Not that you're biased or anything

It might aid his case if he said publicly that he didn't agree with the invasion. Also, while having him racing in Britain would be superb, making the public announcement of the proposed signing today of all days was not at all clever.

Plymouth last signing

Be careful what you wish for...... -
This is the tip of an iceberg speedway (and every other 'extreme' sport) must face in future. The ban on motorsport in Ulster will force all branches of all disciplines to look hard at their control procedures and all forms of insurance for activities. The ACU/SCB would be remiss if they did not take every prudent step to protect their product, ensure their licences allow speedway in the rest of the UK to continue under properly-controlled, legally-insured conditions.

Owen made good progress last season after linking with Berwick Academy, and has every chance of continuing to improve in 2023.

Press & practice days ?

If it did, it would be 2 down. But it won't, I agree -
Getting himself right back in the groove, Rory Schlein raced undefeated in Adelaide tonight to be crowned 2023 South Australian Champion.

New speedway clubs for fun

Blandford Forum 'Fannies'? -
I think -- not stating anything as fact -- that, as the SRBF is funded by track collections, it is ready to assist a rider injured while riding on an ACU/SCB circuit. A rider who is injured riding on a NORA track (and isn't contracted to a regular British club) could hardly be expected to draw assistance, if he (or she) suffers from such misfortune. Maybe NORA could set up a Fund to help riders injured at any of their meetings?

First met Steve Casey at Uxbridge in 1971, when he was riding in the cycle-speedway finals (against, among others, later Glasgow promoter Neil Grant) and again regularly at Belle Vue in the mid-eighties. Always cheerful, always looking forward to the next challenge. Last time was at the rain-ruined British Final last season, and I was pleased and proud to have him as a friend. RIP

In these happy days, the Wasps would bring over 250 travelling fans north! A bit different to Poole's current small band of camp-followers, and certainly not worth switching off a regular Friday night at either Ashfield or Armadale for......

Plus seven Chargers matches, still to be announced!

The clubs with NDL teams will be able to pad out their list, offer continuity to their fans.

Isnt James an Aces asset?
-
It might be that Commonwealth riders would/could ride for an NDL side only if they are already included in a CL 1-7 (and thus have visa approval)?
-
Dont spoil the paranoia!
-
I have no idea. But if allowing a young Commonwealth rider to ride in an NDL team affiliated to his parent CL club will mean an extra team in the NDL -- and therefore places for half a dozen aspiring British riders who wouldn't otherwise get a chance -- then bring it on!

Were you ever at Berrington Lough?

While it aint nobody's business but the new promoter's, the red herring of 'no floodlights' isnt really relevant for a list of six or seven fixtures, is it? The sun doesnt set in Cumbria until well after 9pm in the summer months -- so there's 16/17 weeks in May, June, July & August to run evening meetings.......

Regulation 010.2.2 (a) states that a rider new to the Championship who has appeared in Danish, Swedish or Polish League racing in a previous season will enter the Championship on a 5.00 average. End of.
