On his first visit to Foxhall I was impressed with gusts on track, don’t remember what he scored but got better every time he came out and had a real go, didn’t push on like I thought he would but morale looked pretty low in the Oxford pits last year, tough environment for a foreign youngster to come into and the pressure be straight on you

I think both Sheffield and Leicester have sides that can be dangerous around Foxhall but if they ride to their ability should be able to beat everyone at home and the long tails of belle vue and lynn will be their undoing on the road and as you say Foxhall a particularly tough away track. Hard to say with Northampton but they look the weakest and shouldn’t be troubling us at foxhall

He’s certainly capable of a significant average jump if he can find some consistency

Obviously injuries have really hampered his progress so far, but has he actually demonstrated anything to show he’s got it in him to take a step forward on the clear early potential he showed as a rookie? Big season for his whole career path this one imo

A meeting thread at last! The longest winter of all time drawing to a close 😃 can see this being a very small home win or even an away win tbh Chris holder looked dynamite in the Peter craven meeting, and killer looked the opposite jack and picko will likely score less than Brady and Dan but beat everyone else and not be far off, I think etheridge will have the better of Tate at the bottom end too. Zach and blodorn vs flint and rowe could go either way all 4 capable of decent haul on their night

Tough at “the top” and they couldn’t hack it 😅🙈😂🤪

The season Emil came over he certainly brought that, it was noted by promoters that everyone had their biggest crowds that season on his visits, people turned up to see him for sure. I think that probably subsided a bit over year 2 & 3 though, hard to say really how to make that draw more sustainable with the quantity of teams and top riders we now have riding here. “back in the good old days” when you had a much bigger league and only rode home and away once against everyone and some ko cup matches people would want to be there for the one chance too see say Jason crump visit Foxhall with belle vue, I love watching bewley and Kurtz visit the heath but last season they visited 4 times which reduces that excitement to get to see them for less die hard fans. so in a way I agree with the one top star per team to be the target but I think ultimately the goal should be to have say 10-12 teams with that one top star and drive that draw of “this is your chance to see “top rider X” at your home track this season” but that just seems to so far away from reality with the current state of affairs in uk speedway doesn’t it

I guess it’s a case of how long could he wait on the Northampton team coming to fruition, uncertainty and an offer from Ipswich on the table

They would be new followers of British speedway to find that strange, us seasoned fans understand it to be totally normal for British speedway 😂

There’s two northern based premiership clubs with Aussie no.6’s on 3 point starting averages this years isn’t there? 👀

It’s your holier than thou tone of your posts that irk people. ”oh if only all the other clubs were like belle vue, we’d never treat riders like other clubs do” (you know, accept for when you do) like you’re the saviours of British speedway and everyone else has an active agenda against belle vue to bring British speedway down.

I wonder if they may place Lawson at 2 to support Tom in some tough heat ones? Him and fricke did some serious damage for Leicester season before last riding 3 heats together and he’ll win a lot of heat 8’s home and away. 1. Brennan 2. Lawson 3. King 4. Nicholls 5. Musielak 6. PHB 7. Edwards Can’t Scotty being fazed riding at 4 instead of 2

The signing of PHB has really cheered me up, it was always going to be hard so late in the day to bring over a top no.1 but in the absence of that bringing in an exciting newcomer to the league from the continent is a good show of intent from the new owners and offers additional excitement and intrigue to see how he fairs on these shores

Solid looking team all things considered, potential for average improvement in Brennan Musielak and hellstrom, if he drops to reserve Scotty will continue pick off easy points, Lawson and king will be solid and Edwards a good rising star

Would he though? That’s why I’d like to see it! Woffy was pretty imperious when he visited a couple of seasons ago, certainly think there’s multiple rider more proven on small tight tracks than bartosz and without long straights to build speed I don’t think he’d have it all his own way

Would absolutely love to see the continental thottle jockeys racing round Foxhall in anger!

It’s says full 1-7 to announced monday

Don’t think so, Nicholls guested a lot for the witches in 2024 while Doyle was out long term and only signed to a championship club

Technically we don’t even know the new owners of Ipswich Witches identity as yet, might not even be mayfield 😉
