Glasgow Tigers 2027

I just imagine that a few months into the season that then 2 would be 5th and 6th in the averages so would be the two likely to swap if any, just my opinion. -
If Sam Masters is leaving Oxford, could he come back to Edinburgh? 1. Sam Masters 2. 4.00er, Gustav Grahn? Dayle Wood? 3. Jonatan Grahn 4. Paco Castagna 5. Kye Thomson 6. Vinnie Foord 7. Jordy Lotus I know Paco isn't the most reliable rider ever, but I love him too much to leave him out

Alternatively if you wanted a strong reserve all season you could tempt both Thompson twins in and go for: 1 Chris Harris © 7.93 2 Victor Palovaara 5.64 3 Joe Thompson 5.92 4 Mitchell McDiarmid 5.53 5 Dan Thompson 7.55 6 Jordan Jenkins 5.05 7 2.38 Would mean having an unproven 2.00er at reserve, but you'd have Jordan Jenkins or Joe Thompson at reserve all year too, you saw how successful Berwick were at times this year with a powerful reserve. I'm sure someone like Charlie Southwick or Ollie Binns or Harry Fletcher would pick up the odd point here or there. Just an alternative, and I do like teams with a strong reserve. -

I'm not a huge Anders Rowe fan, but I think at number 3 with a solid 1 and 5 and a solid partner, he would be fine. If the points limit is 40, then the below team would do well. I was very surprised at how low Palovaara's average was, so I would say he was a bit of a steal. Could also go with Jake Allen or Jody Scott at number 3 instead, but I just don't see Jody at Glasgow next season and I'm not sure how well Jake Allen goes around Ashfield? 1 Chris Harris © 7.93 2 Victor Palovaara 5.64 3 Anders Rowe 6.39 4 Mitchell McDiarmid 5.53 5 Dan Thompson 7.55 6 Anze Grmek 3.56 7 Freddy Hodder 3.31 39.91 -
So: 1. Charles Wright 8.67 2. Jake Mulford 5.13 3. Jody Scott 6.00 4. Jason Edwards 6.28 5. Danny King 7.76 6. Ace Pijper 4.15 7. Charlie Southwick 2.00 39.99. would be a solid team, if the limit is 40. Personally, I love Jason Edwards he's one of my favourite riders, but I'd like to see him move on, keep the Redcar team fresh and have Jason move on and improve himself, staying at the same track for years on end is never a great idea for progression.
-
Yep, 5.00. much more manageable average than Matias Nielsen (who'd make a very good number 1)
-
1. Charles Wright 2. Jake Mulford 3. Jody Scott 4. 5. Danny King 6. 7. 2.00 Fill the last 2 spots in based on average limit, should be quite a lot left to get a really solid reserve in 4+ average and a 5.5/6ish number 4. If the average limit is 40 then Nathan Ablitt and McDiarmid/Mountain fits. If it's 38 then maybe Max Perry/Vinnie Foord and McDiarmid/Mountain My vote for the 2.00er is Charlie Southwick, I feel he has a lot to give, knows the track well and I get the feeling that the championship will be much weaker next year, so even if he just maintains a 2 point average.
-
Just looked and based on last season's assessed averages rules Matias Nielsen would come in on an 8.50 championship average. with 'this rider would only be considered dependent on fixture clashes' next to the figure. So I guess any clashes would exclude him from being allowed to ride in the championship. Similar riders around his average in the Polish Ekstraliga 2, just so people have a rough idea on how good he actually is: Just above him in the averages - Jakub Jamrog, Luke Becker, Gleb Chuganov Just below him in the averages - Ben Basso, Zach Cook, Dimitri Berge
-
Mathias Neilsen has been a very solid rider in the Polish leagues for a few years now. Think he'd do great in the Championship. But if he's riding in Poland next season, he can only do one other league?? So probably Denmark.
-
??? He likes his hair does he? 😆
-
Why would he want to ride in our dying league when he has better opportunities, better racing, better sponsors and better lifestyle riding in Poland where the sport is ran far better and by much more competent people. This is probably his final push before he feels he's getting towards retirement. Good luck to him I say.
-
Do we have any individual scores?
-
Who's missing?
-
Our Premiership barely holds up against 2.Ekstraliga let alone the top league. Perhaps they could join the same league as Landshut and Daugavpils and it can almost become a sort of European league
-
They were missing Danny King, Ben Barker and Anze Grmek and got 9 points from the guests.

A chance to meet the BSN team.

He speaks the best form of English... Scottish 😄 -

Diamonds85 replied to oleoleole's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Love most of the BSN team but there are a few who really grate on me... Why interview someone and proceed to talk over the top of them when they're trying to answer 😐 Greg Blair and Ian Brannan are brilliant 👏 -
Premiership 4.59 Championship 7.32

I love Jason Edwards, he's one of my favourite riders around and he seems like such a nice lad, so I feel awful suggesting this but: Simon Lambert and Jason Edwards out Charles Wright and 2.19 in Tom Spencer? Charlie Southwick? Jack Roberts? Really feel like Jake Mulford is starting to find a little form this season, so I don't see the number 4 spot being too bad for him, particularly at home, and it allows Charles back in the team and Nicolai to stay, meaning the back end of the meeting will be stronger. Jake Allen as 3rd heat leader is very strong and Jody or Ace at 2 and 6 means there'll always be a solid 2 and very good 6 in the team. Just need to find a 2.00er who can pick up a couple of points here and there. The team looks way more balanced like this imo. 1. Charles Wright 9.11 2. Jody Scott 4.40 3. Jake Allen 6.64 4. Jake Mulford 4.56 5. Nicolai Klindt 8.73 6. Ace Pijper 4.37 7. 2.19

Didn't even know Mildenhall existed anymore, I've just been down that way last weekend (13th and 14th) visiting family. We were within a 15 minute drive of the track and my little nephews and cousins would have probably loved an afternoon out at the racing, they're motorbike mad. Would have loved to have introduced them to speedway. I thought Mildenhall were long gone, didn't even occur to me to look.

Jonas Jeppesen 8.56 Jacob Hook 5.57 Antti Vuolas 6.87 Tate Zischke 5.91 Troy Batchelor 7.31 Niklas Holm Jakobsen 3.00 Max Perry 2.24 39.46 Fits 👍
-
Could Workington bring Vuolas and Hook in for Craig and Vinnie maybe? Would keep Jakobsen at reserve for the rest of the season too.

Workington v Scunthorpe 30/05/26 Championship 6pm.

Anyone took my dog and I would go full Liam Neeson. -
What average would Jack Roberts come in on? I know Buxton have 4.36 remaining, would he be an assessed 4.00? How does it work? Did he even have an average back in the day? I can't really remember him tbh, but he looks good. Perfect rider to help make a comeback into British speedway, we need more riders, not less.

Got to get rid of Bowes and bring Gilkes back. Have Gilkes at 4 with Lewi and when Cooper hits his proper average you can partner him with Lewi. 1 Lawson 2 Gilkes/Newman 3 Kerr 4 Rushen 5 Cook 6 Cairns 7 Newman/Gilkes Don't need Bowes.
