Brum would be mad to ditch Pawlicki now he's down at 6 1. Lindgren 2. Lampart 3. Worral 4. Cook 5. Brennan 6. Pawlicki 7. Flint Looks good to me

Signing Nicholls as a 28 day replacement would depend on how many Monday meetings Ipswich will have and how many TV commitments Nicholls has, dont they they'd get a facility for Scott missing for TV duties? As for Doyle, yes he irreplaceable but he has to be replaced so looking at some options I'd say most likely are.... Laguta - based on him riding here last year, and potentially riding with Emil, i think this looks most likely. Vaculik - was almost at Leicester or Sheffield i recall not long ago, he would be my preferred option. Dudek - he wanted to ride in the UK but priced himself out to an extent Lambert - will ride later in the season, so all about if he can be convinced to ride here earlier, dont think past comments about foxhall will bother Louis

I'd take Jakobsen as a temporary replacement for Ellis if average fits, struggled last season before dropping the UK but year before he looked classy and rode Foxhall well

Unless sedgman was told he would be Miliks replacement but only temporary so he has an opportunity to put himself in the shop window for a short while then gets dropped for Lindgren

Ipswich through yet some riders getting put down despite them playing a role in past success

Janowski for me isn't a complete disaster yet.... on the TV meeting he was competitive, there or thereabouts. Granted for a rider of his calibre people expect him to have the Emil effect but genuinely think Magic will come good ovee the next 2 or 3 meetings and will score 9/10's not quite the old Magic but he'll come good

Post it before the meeting to get the feel good factor going about the club and those sitting on the fence regarding attending may turn up Also clever to get the riders going knowing it could be their last 2 meetings for the club

To be fair to brum the move up was late, most other sides even if not announced were more or less formalised For me this season is about seeing who the positives are, getting them done for 2025 and already now putting those plans together Might be a hard watch this season but if there is money to spend then its a level playing field for 2025

Witches sign Taransenko as a 28 day replacement for Danny King

I think its way too early to look at changes especially if Pawlicki has not even rode yet Milik isn't a no.1, I'm sure lower down he may do better, i like the look of Lampart think he could come good Best to see the 1-7 for a few meetings first to see where potential other riders could slot in Riss would be a good addition but he won't be going anywhere yet, not until Ipswich can fit him in for Jenkins anyway

Brum 38 Tigers 52

Beum showed some promise tonight Milik will take a beating but needs time to get going in Britain Lampart done ok

Oxford 54 Birmingham 36

46-44 Lynn away win

52-38 to Witches on opening night

Leicester to win, going to say 50-40

I look forward to Bowen looking like an idiot like most (not all) applicants on the show

Most likely But i guess we'll soon find out

Nothing against any of them, as i have no affiliation to any side, just feel Glasgow will not be as good as people believe I think Plymouth could be the surprise package as their 1-7 are generally good at home so can be some bonus points won, both Thompsons will improve if they stay injury free, Joe i believe scored 7ish guesting at no.3 last season so being at 7 in a weaker league will see him score well Ok Covatti and Barker aren't Harris/Worrall but they are triers which will give them a good chance

1. Scunthorpe 2. Poole 3. Plymouth 4. Oxford 5. Redcar 6. Glasgow 7. Berwick 8. Workington 9. Edinburgh

1. Leicester 2. Kings Lynn 3. Ipswich 4. Oxford ------------------ 5. Sheffield 6. Belle Vue 7. Birmingham Leicester vs Ipswich Play-Off Final

Maybe the BSPL should have taken up the offer of WBD buying into the promotional rights of British Speedway, all would be a drop in the ocean to grow a domestic series that feeds riders into Poland and/or the SGP series, obviously Poland didn't want the WBD cash but the UK should! It is a lot of money but you think Dudek was touting himself around, there was talk of £6k per meeting but it was £3k per meeting (£6k figure was for Home/Away) but the flights etc. were on top but flights are pretty cheap nowadays but guess it all adds up If it was me choosing/negotiating the last two rides, then all roads do point to Artem Laguta, he would ride in the UK in 2024 for the right deal and that's not always about money, and I would probably look at Anders Thomsen or Rasmus Jensen, can't remember which one but one was looking at a UK ride last year but it didn't quite happen

Think someone said android users can't react to posts

I would suggest that maybe 'talking' to means 'talked' to 6 riders One of those 6 is/was Lindgren who has said no (unless there is room for further negotiation) two of the 6 are the Pawlicki brothers Leaves 3 remaining, one of whom is Thorsell, another is Zagar leaving one which is either Thomsen or Nilsson most likely Thomsen

In the dark ages they didn't have the internet or forums, go back there immediately
