  1. KOC-Up, unless Leicester win on aggregate on Thursday night, then it's another Prem match!
  2. It says Lovey … Arch has sussed me out, even though I have no idea who s/he is. At least I keep up with the news from Aus ;-)
  3. No - he was riding in Aus in the winter and damaged a shoulder. I’m sure I read that he also had an operation in a shoulder last year …
  4. http://www.sheffield-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3506
  5. Brum unpredictable. Klindt a decent guest for King, and the Witches are working well as a team - even so, will need one of the reserves to click. Could be close - either way.
  6. #8 would be a non-contracted NDL rider, so unlikely to be competitive.
  7. Another person using the Mail/Express version of whatever they think “woke” means. It’s right-wingers who curb free speech -that’s why Mail and Express readers cheerfully try to blame everyone else.
  8. Surely he will be "Throwing the track out with the rain water" ... I'll get me rain coat and pit gate repair set.
  9. The SCB Statements are often worded poorly - they need someone to proofread.
  10. Nope. Karl told me via Messenger: "Facebook has disabled the group because it has removed post that violate rules. I have files an appeal and am awaiting feedback."
  11. J.Holder, C.Holder and Woffinden were only beaten by Doyle & Sayfutdinov - defeating all the other Witches - although they did defeat Doyle and Sayfutdinov in some heats - so it was really honours-even between the top riders. In the meantime, Doyle & Sayfutdinov scored only 8 each, and were beaten by Sheffield second string riders in one race each when they scored 0.
  12. To be fair: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?id=100063544242325&story_fbid=974277488033717
  13. Exactly as they did in the semi-final last season (and, of course, in the Grand Final).
  14. Narwich have got their play-off semi-final second leg up Leeds tonight - irrespective of the weather, I reckon everyone'll be watching it at hoom or gorn dowen the pub.
  15. The linked Twitter above says that the track can't take the rain predicted until 4pm ... It's raining persistently in Kesgrave.
  16. Edwards and Gilkes were announced on 20/11/23, completing the Tigers line-up. Gilkes was named as the Rising Star because he had an established Premier Green Sheet of 3.67 (as per the RS list). Edwards is also a Rising Star, but has a 3.00 Green Sheet. Gilkes average would not have fat in the Tigers line-up if he had been named at #6. Even though Gilkes' averages was higher than Edwards, he was named at #7 because the Regs state that the named Rising Star only moves from #7 if his average takes him into the top five. PS: The 2024 Regs are available for download at scbgb.co.uk
  17. Jordan Jenkins - on social media he's known as jordanjenkins85, and he is sponsored by DJ Evans as a Witches rider. Oxford are sponsored by Monarch. This team photo shows his kevlars: https://britishspeedway.co.uk/team/oxford-cheetahs/
  18. It's not true. Edwards and Gilkes are both Rising Stars: https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2024-Rising-Stars-iss2.pdf
  19. It was a very different Witches team at the NSS - where they have never won! The second round of fixtures will be interesting if both teams are at full strength for both matches.
  20. It's not just speedway, it's the FIM at World level for all international motorcycle sports.
  21. If Ermolenko walks away, would anyone notice?
