Might be a nice team. Would cost a small fortune in Air Fares, Work Permits and paperwork. Probably only one possible improver in that team and that's Atkins. Maybe 2 realistic Bowtell and Atkins

I went to Plymouth last season to one of the Meetings they put on. The Stadium improvements are excellent and the Track that had been so poor the year before delivered some great Racing. The whole experience was fantastic and some new arrivals to the Promoting Team seem to have put their mark on the supporter interaction and also the e-mail Ticketing system in particular which was excellent

Rule 21/DLM/69 In the event of an abandonment the Management Committee will convene to allocate a maximum of 4 match points. Points will be allocated on the basis of a maximum of 2 points for the participants and a 2 point bonus for Scunthorpe. This Rule is unappealable

Jessica I absolutely respect your passion for animal welfare and make no excuses for the worst excesses of some Greyhound Racing Stadia and exponents. The issue though for Speedway, certainly at my home track and others, is that if there was no Dog Racing, there would be absolutely no chance of Speedway, as the Dog revenues from betting and functions and hospitality dwarfs that of income from speedway rent and similar hospitality. Perry Barr operates 4-5-6 days a week in normal times and probably makes more in 2-3 days than a season of speedway. It's a difficult case therefore to support your efforts agree or not as actually, we'd be killing out own sport.

You can theoretically have 7 riders on the Rising Star List. Some CL teams have 2 or 3. The crucial bit is that you have to have one at No 7 in 2021 and two at 6 and 7 in 2022. They have to start at 7 but if their actual average increases they move up and down the team You have to signify one as your Rising Star at start of season that's all. Ipswich have no doubt decided that tactically Kemp is at this stage a better rider to have at No 7 than Rowe.

The sooner Barry Bishop is put in charge of the 3rd Tier under whatever Title the better. May be the only hope. Certainly far more qualified in every regard that a stooge taking the 3rd tier on a branch line to nowhere and oblivion.

Told you all 2 weeks ago Schlein and Hume and no reason to change my mind. Surely Stoneman will go to Plymouth if they are allowed in to CL

interpretation of what's been said here is that would not be a problem. Problem would be the kid could not ride at 6 or 7 s would have to be on Rising Star Programme but would have to ride in top 5? May be I've misunderstood but that's my interpretation

Don't think he's missed the point at all. This scheme is introduced for 2021 but main implementation for 2022. Some Clubs with riders like Bailey; Edwards ; Flint; Gilkes ; Jenkins; Palin; Thomas; Thompson etc had a young British No 7 selected and CONFIRMED for 2020. Why on earth would you move those out or change them, or un-confirm someone already confirmed? Some Clubs have more than one off the scheme but in 2021 the only issue is No 7, so why would those with a couple have to give up one when there are dozens to choose from? The questions are more about 2022.

Bickley will never be much more than an NDL heat leader. Flint and Kemp will be PL heat leaders in time, possibly make good careers in Poland. Flint can go a long way in the Sport

Maybe we are all looking in the wrong place. British Speedway communication is an absolute cesspit of incompetence. It needs an expert and not someone whose main claim to fame is yelling "woofy woofy woofy" like an inebriated soccer hooligan

would love to see the lad back at Brummies but I think our needs are more established heat leader / top second string.

funny thing, saw a copy of this a few weeks ago and Palin and Joe Thompson were 2 Star and Dan Thompson 1 Star. you are probably very accurate in your conspiracy theory. I think the big mistake is to have genuine "Rising Stars" and "solid NDL performers who have been around a fair while" on the same programme. Not compatible for a serious attempt to deliver a proper programme. It all adds to view of a lot that NDL is being quietly ditched.

Might be The Chairman..

Be good to hear of some rider signings soon Sure Peter David and Laurence are working hard. I assume Jack will be the Rising Star? Hopefully a solid 1 to 6 to give us some entertainment. Jab done waiting for 2nd one. Speedway would be best tonic though.

Seems a lot of people have seen a secret list? So which Promoters have broken the code or which forum Members are telling porkies. Hopefully the latter otherwise the Chairman might need to investigate. Whoops

Just hope there is an NDL as it's being too quiet and worries that it might be just a second half for the PL Clubs as that was planned for 2020 initially. Hope the news will come out quicker than the Fixtures for PL/CL have!

Read somewhere 1 star are ndl riders with little experience. So Palin, Thompson, Edwards etc are rated on good NDL form. CL experienced are 3 or 4 stars

Rory and Danyon

It's something that is long overdue as communications in general aren't good. They really need an independent outside agency or expert in the field. I guess if you pay peanuts though you get monkeys Mike from BV maybe a good call.

No news at all about National League, is there actually going to be one ? Will PL continue with the PL Academy idea and therefore take a lot of NDL Riders?

Rory Schlein and Danyon Hume

Can see why they were so keen to keep that team. They look like a professional Club with a plan. You can be sure Poole Leicester and Glasgow will be right at the top too I think.

On the old 3 tiers.. Tier 1 max 4000 but 50% so 2000..Tier 2 max 2000 but 50% so 1000. So most speedway in October would have been allowed 1000. That was in Speedway Star at the time.

Love Len a legend of the sport. When you're his age anyone under 50 is a bright young prospect.
