  1. In the dark ages they didn't have the internet or forums, go back there immediately
  2. Seems like Brum need to get Creative Is Lindback not on a stupid average from his time at Poole was it in 2016? Would almost start at reserve and is an exciting rider to watch He's riding in Sweden in 2024 i believe Jacob Thorsell and Zagar sound like possibilities for 1 and 5 but would be a weak pairing on paper Whats Kenneth Bjerre doing these days?
  3. 1. Dudek 2. Brennan 3. Zagar 4. Worrall 5. Thorsell 6. Z. Cook 7. Flint
  4. I couldn't disagree more with your perspective on Speedway entry charges for kids. While it might seem unusual compared to other events, the focus shouldn't solely be on immediate revenue. Speedway needs to prioritize building a sustainable fan base for the future. Charging kids for entry can deter families from attending, as the financial burden may discourage parents from bringing their children to Speedway events. The average age of current Speedway supporters is relatively high, and it's crucial to attract younger audiences to ensure the sport's longevity. By offering free entry for kids accompanying paying adults, Speedway is making a strategic investment in its future. The goal is to cultivate a love for the sport in the younger generation. As these kids grow into adults, they are more likely to become loyal fans who willingly pay for tickets. This long-term approach is essential for the survival and growth of Speedway. Comparing Speedway entry charges to other sports may not be the most relevant metric. Instead, the focus should be on creating incentives for families and young individuals to choose Speedway as their entertainment of choice. It's about fostering a sense of community and passion for the sport, not just about the immediate revenue generated from kids' ticket sales. In the grand scheme of things, whether it's 50p or £1 for a child's entry is a minor detail. The primary objective should be to secure the future of Speedway by building a diverse and enthusiastic fan base that will sustain the sport for years to come.
  5. 100% wrong move to charge Kids, especially if its just to gain £1 a head BSPL should have made it mandatory that all clubs done kids 16 and Under FREE for the good of the sport
  6. Kerr is proven at all UK tracks Wojdylo although done well with Pboro is still somewhat unproven over the course of a full season Palm-Toft has had injury problems so maybe he is more on Kerrs level If Iversen dropped to reserve I'd be extremely concerned rather than looking at it as a positive
  7. It's not that bad in CL and NDL but a few times I've seen him in the top flight gating, and as you say that first bend/2nd bend is where he'll need to improve Pretty sure once he masters those and is more consistent with it which seems harsh to say as he's limited in experience, he'll certainly grow into a top rider I'm hoping for his sake that he developes into a top rider would love to see any young brit rise to the top
  8. Boughen has good equipment He's also very quick Understandably his gating lets him down at times but if can master that, as a rising star, i think he would do well
  9. Lets agree simply that you have no idea jasons true intentions, i have no idea and nobody else apart from jason himself so stupid to comment on it in the first place and others have lost their minds over it for no reason either, unless jason comes out and says he's simply using ipswich of course
  10. Of course Doyle is at Ipswich through his Loyalty to British Speedway he could well also be at any other club, due to his Loyalty to British Speedway Lots of questions of IF IF IF If he didn't live in the UK, if his partner wasn't English Lets judge it based on facts
  11. Yes as they are now assessed as a 5.00 I'd be very surprised if its not 6 from last season plus Ellis The excitement Louis refers to is Jason and Emil
  12. Deserves a spot absolutely but looks like 2 or 3 could miss out on a spot due to averages, expect cook to be somewhere
  13. This is not a league prediction, just a team prediction based on seeing just one full line up so far Sheffield 1. J. Holder 2. Howarth 3. C. Holder 4. Pickering 5. Woffinden 6. Edwards 7. Gilkes Belle Vue 1. Kurtz 2. Wojdylo 3. Lidsey 4. Blodorn 5. Bewley 6. Etheridge 7. Bailey Ipswich 1. Sayfutdinov 2. Rew 3. King 4. Ellis 5. Doyle 6. Hume 7. D. Thompson Kings Lynn 1. Musielek 2. Schlein 3. Iversen 4. Basso 5. Tarasenko 6. Palm-Toft 7. Rowe Oxford 1. Janowski 2. Harris 3. Masters 4. Klindt 5. Lambert 6. Jenkins 7. Flint Leicester 1. Fricke 2. Kerr 3. Pawlicki 4. S. Worrall 5. Douglas 6. Riss 7. Kemp Birmingham 1. Laguta 2. B Cook 3. Lawson 4. Wright 5. Becker 6. Brennan 7. Thomas anyone to share their predictions for all or any teams?
  14. 1. Robert Lambert 7.61 2. Rory Schlein - 5.89 3. Luke Becker - 7.03 4. Chris Harris - 6.36 5. Sam Masters 7.13 6. Lewis Kerr - 5.31 7. Jordan Jenkins TOTAL 39.33
  15. I can see Birmingham ending up something like Dudek, Schlein, Becker, S. Worrall, Smolinski, Barker/Batchelor/Sedgman, + RS
  16. 1. Musielek 2. Kerr 3. Masters 4. Harris 5. R. Lambert 6. Jenkins 7. Atkins/Boughen RS
  17. E Sayfutdinov 10.10J Doyle 9.12D King 7.05A Ellis 5.57K Rew 4.00B Barker 3.96D Thompson RS 100% should be the team, if its either rumoured or some clever cloggs has put this together, email it to Richie and Chris asap If Ellis takes a little while to dial in and Emils average comes down slightly then you could end up upgrading Barker - but we know that's not how the promotion works at Foxhall
  18. If its 38 limit 1. Richard Lawson 2. Alfie Bowtell 3. Zach Cook 4. Connor Bailey 5. Ben Cook 6. Paul Starke 7. Sam Hagon
  19. aye I was under the impression from a rider that the CL will be reduced by 2pts and the PL increased by 2pts I am sure Ipswich would prefer the extra point lol
  20. Not sure where i posted this but my idea for any junior rider intersted would be to split the riders into groups So riders Scotland, North, Midlands, South East and South West Over the course of the season riders run as individuals in 2nd halfs at selected events, so 4 riders per event 4 x heats whether this is incorporated before meetings duringbor after etc. Each rider can register to ride in what events they are available for 16 meetings in total So for example say there are 8 riders who fall in the Northern section or apply to do events in Scotland They enter their 16 meetings which would run at Redcar, Manchester, Sheffield etc. Meeting points scored go into a Junior Challenge leaderboard with ALL riders across the country Top 16 invited to a one off final where maybe BSPL can offer a bike or something for the winner etc. Gives riders track times outside the pressures of a team environment and allows them to focus their development on themselves as an individual entry
  21. Some good options there, I've said possibly over the past 2 seasons about Mads Hansen, what has happened to Hellstrom-Bangs? The issue is either of these names would be good to start at reserve but you would want Rew there on his 4.00 But if you add one of those to Rew, King, Emil and Doyle... you have below 4 to play with so Rew wouldn't be at 6 anyway You'd have Rew and one of mentioned riders at 2 and 4 so wouldn't we be better off with Riss? I guess the hope for some might be Emil confirming he doesn't want to ride in the UK so he doesn't end up elsewhere then Witches can build with Doyle at 1 Doyle, Jakobsen, King, Basso, Douglas/Masters and Rew looks fairly strong
  22. I would guess Ipswich are my supported club as its local and i attend regualarly, i did stop going for a long period of time only really been going again regularly since 2010 maybe
