Can't wait for march 30th now. Seeing Doyle and Emil line up against Fricke and Bomber is super exciting. Bring it on .

God what is going with Peterborough. There was a little bit of excitement in 2023 for them but just sounds like a complete mess right now to me. I don't have any ITK's or gossip to tell so I'm just looking from a speedway fans point of view. That Instagram post is huge from holder . Think of how many Aussies ride here. Lots isn't it? All it takes is one rider like holder to tell his Aussies friends what a shambles Peterborough are. Tungate and Batch clearly aren't favourites either, yes only two riders but Ben cook maybe thinking have I made the right choice? A few new up and coming Aussies maybe ask a few of his pals and say where to ride next....are they going to say the panthers ? Doubt it now. God I hope I'm wrong and genuinely hope that Peterborough are around for many decades to come and have a fantastic team for there great support. Again, I don't have a scooby doo what has happened. I just want to see them at the tapes and have some sustainability along with the rest of British speedway. It's non league stuff right now.

You watch him round Leicester he's as good as anyone .

I'd have taken Richie at Leicester for sure. I think he's only 30ish and some riders are peaking later than previous times before...I think there is a little bit more to come from Richie for sure. He's no bomber but certainly ain't no mug. Keep the faith panthers...looking forward to you coming to the lions den.

I know this was a bad idea...

With talks of Somerset returning but with a different name I thought it would be abit of fun to see what ideas people would have for new speedway clubs. Here's a few random ones.... The Cardiff Dragons, Bristol Bats, Liverpool Leopards. What part of the UK would they be riding? What kind of track and stadium is it? What's the name and club colours? You get the picture..... On your marks get set GO!

Leicester , Birmingham, Coventry, kings Lynn ( and that was rained off before heat 1) yes Im fairly new to speedway

Lawson is a steal on that average. Great rider. Thankyou Poole letting him come to the lions

This one is harder to predict then the championship. I don't think there is bad team been put together so far. Only predicting finished teams 1. Sheffield - What a side. No weaknesses in this team 2. Belle Vue - One of the world's best at number 1 and a strong main body. Big year for Charley Charles at 3. 3. Leicester - Super strong top 4. Dan Thomson is a weapon at home. Unbeaten at home next season. 4. Kings Lynn - Solid throughout. Just lacks another big hitter. But reserves will be key for kings Lynn 5. Wolves - Solid again but just lacks firepower . Can't see them going many places and winning. Needs another big number 1. Decent reserves though..

I forgot about scunny.... Scunthorpe to finish 6th. Decent side that. Mountain should kick on and MPT is a great rider when fit.

Woops scunny have a decent team as well! If they go bust half way through il be right!!!

Just a wild guess. 1.Poole - Always build great teams and the cook brothers will bring them glory again. 2. Glasgow - Fantastic team, full of entertainment. 3. Redcar - Full of riders that are on the up. If Edwards can kick on then who knows. Great side again. 4. Plymouth - That heat leader trio is strong. Unbeaten at home I reckon for the gladiators next season. My dark horses. 5. Oxford - Best rider in the league plus a great captain. Kerr is a weapon also. I worry about the tail but Jenkins and heeps can claim a few scalps. This one is hard to call 6. Edinburgh - They always build decent sides! If they sign cookie and get him going it's a decent side . The monarchs always provide a surprise. 7. Berwick - it's an ok team. Alot depends on Rory regaining his form and the progression with some of the younger riders. 8. Birmingham - For all the hype from the promotion last season saying they were build an exciting play off challenging team next year...they haven't. Plus side though, they have a brilliant number 1 and hope Ben Pearson pushes on. Would like to be proved wrong . All subject to change ofcourse.

That's a team that's going to walk the league

If Dan Thomson gets announced today for the cubs I suspect it means he doesn't have a championship place

Maybe cause you can't see the track cause your a hobbit?

I'd love tofty at Leicester. Always liked watching him ride

I think it's just that. Allen is deemed a better rider than mountain..a for Allen scored 11 last season at Leicester riding at 3. That's a good return for someone up against a strong heat leader trio.

I'm pretty sure Peterborough would have liked to keep Harris and Lawson is kings Lynn number 1. Don't get the stick with Lawson. He's a number 1. He was the best rider for kings Lynn last year. What more can he do? Maybe we didn't pinch fricke but if bewley wasnt available Fricke would be back there for sure.

I like the team. It's solid for sure. We have basically pinched 3 number 1's from rival teams. Fricke, Harris and Lawson. And if Morris makes the gate at Leicester good luck catching him. He can improve on his 6.48 average. Sedgmen is a steady number 2 and showed promise last year with Birmingham at Leicester. Allen is way better than a 4 point rider. He could easily displace Sedgmen at 2 and Sedgmen did a decent job for Sheffield at reserve. Don't underestimate Dan Thomson at 7. His track times are as quick as anybody's at Leicester. He's beaten Kerr and bomber Harris comfortably last season along with a few others. . He's knows every racing line there and I expect him to be a trump card at home. I would have liked mountain but in Stewart we trust . He knows how to build a winning team and I think we will make the top 4 this year for sure.

God going back to how it used to be Im amazed we got the crowds we did. It was shocking

It certainly is better. Way better from what I've witnessed. I've been to Birmingham twice and it's typical gate inside line and hold everyone off then usually gets a little more interesting towards the end of the meeting. At Leicester if you hold the inside line you usually get overtaken. And because it's tricky one little mistake costs you which makes it exciting. Just my opinion . And I'm on nothing for your information. It's an opinion.

Hasn't that been scrapped?

Mountains average is 4.40 if I'm correct..Allen's has dropped to 4..

I think if you look at Allen Vs Mountain. Allen clearly is a more established rider considering they are only year apart. I think if Stewart can get Allen kicking again he could be weapon at reserve . He scored 11 when he was fit last time out at Leicester. I feel for mountain as he's done nothing wrong, but I'm going to trust Stewart with one..

Sedgemen and Allen are lions
