Okay, thanks for clarifying that. So if Bewley isn’t back after the 28 days (which he won’t be), can another 28 day contract be introduced (….and so on)?

Just been looking at the Aces team averages. The limit for top six team building is 37. Belle Vue are currently 0.86 over this total and are replacing a rider with one having a lower average, which is fine regardless of the top six total. If Bewley is in a position to resume racing this season, it might not be possible for him to takeover from Doyle without making an additional team change to keep under the 37 limit.

There would still be a danger of Phil Morris over watering the racing surface (with camel p*ss?) during inevitable mammoth sun breaks 😎

Sorry to disappoint you but the gold fish racing championship has been called off, course waterlogged apparently🫤

Whilst I’m all for keeping things moving like the one point each with no re-arranged fixture (as with cricket), it’s difficult to see that approach working with speedway. When a cricket match is wiped out it doesn’t affect players pay. With speedway riders being paid for the points they score (from money coming through the turnstiles, although what percentage of that is relied upon I don’t know), are they going to take a hit? Would promoters be prepared to put riders on some sort of minimum guarantee for such circumstances?

Petty sure not too long ago that there was talk about staging speedway at the new Wembley. Seems that’s all it was,talk.

Seventies music played over the PA……surrounded by pensioners with programme boards…..ah, takes me back…..to the meeting I attended last week!

Don’t think there will be too many complaints from the Lions camp as they would have been without Thompson and Howarth.

I was reading that Gary May was helped with team manager duties last night by……..Ryan Guest! How did he get in on the act? The sport is saturated with rider guest appearances and now we have a Guest guesting as a bloody team manager😀 Only in speedway as we all keep saying.

If that’s true it is a little nieve of the club for a rider averaging below 7.00. So when it gets to a last heat decider and Sam has had a stinker, he will still be in heat 15 will he?🤔

Live updates, great! Just like the ones that are freely available for every meeting on the proboards website!

Garbage! Most Lions fans are thrilled with his contribution this season. You might want to look at the riders scores again? Kemp could have scored more than he did if not for mechanical issues ( his own fault admittedly).Dougy was outstanding and the rest of the team were solid against the team that has the best combined heat leader trio in the league. Tonight was a great example of what team speedway should be about.

Woffy is a very determined character and speedway is like drug to him. Whilst I agree that it’s his choice when he decides to quit but that of course is on the assumption that there are teams out there willing to take a risk on him and are prepared to offer the payment he would demand.

Looking at the rolling averages, Howarth will be at reserve next month. He’s not actually riding badly but Kemp has made such a great start to the season. Kyle will hopefully fill his boots at No.6. I can see Morris having stint in that berth as well before too long.

That’s a very positive post! The sport as a whole needs people you and your son. You say you have been away from the sport but it’s still in great shape (🤭) so onwards and upwards as they say.

That’s the spirit, good on yah! Judging by the negativity on this thread the pre meeting parade could consist of you and a few others being introduced to the riders!

Hope Kurtz doesn’t read this Mike, gingers don’t do sun 😞

Me neither and that goes for everyone else in my family and circle of friends. On the plus side, I will inform Lemo that I am doing all I can to come up with crowd guest replacements just to keep everything ‘speedway’ in GB.

Don't know how much longer Dan T will be out but I would've thought Dickson would make a swift 28 day offer to Lewis Kerr before someone else grabs him.

I meant BZ not BM!

Yeah hope he’s okay. His health is all that matters but I bet he will be gutted if he can’t make the next GP as I think he will be looking to close in on BM this year.

As a Lions fan I'd be disappointed if we didn't come away with a win. Kerr and Howarth will hopefully be able to offer some advice on bike set ups having already ridden there. Interesting that the Foxes have paired together two riders who have yet to ride the track.

The league already has Ben & Zach…… Too many Cooks as the saying goes 🤨

Clubs are always telling us that one of the main reasons for early call offs is flying riders in. Now if all clubs had their own private jets……….I’ll get my coat😔
