Oh yes he can

Lay off the weed. Belle Vue have a lot of sway in UK speedway, far more than you think.

Clubs like Belle Vue would never support one big league. It would be detrimental to everything they are doing there so it won't happen and everyone can hype it up as much as they want, it just won't happen. And in case anyone has forgotten or weren't alive the last time the two leagues merged, it sucked.

It's a very good team and it's possible that Joe T will make a similar breakthrough soon that his brother took last year and Jack Smith is a good enough reserve in this league. The only concerns i would have is Paco and Palovaara as i don't think they will be capable of putting anything more onto the averages they got last season (2025) and i certainly don't think Victor is a 1 or a 5 in this league. I still think it looks stronger than the initial team Edinburgh named going into last season which included an untried Polish rider as their second heat leader.

I can't wait. I am going to write to my local MP. This is an outrage. I may even have to go to the UN and if that fails Points of View.

Who is it?

This just shows how far speedway has fallen over the years. Football in the 80s was heading the same way until they incorporated massive changes to the way the sport was run and how it was promoted.

A toddler could have guided that team to a title. Or even you.

I overheard Kurtz in a bar last week saying that it has always been his dream to quit the GP's and ride for Workington in the Championship. At least i think it was him, he was ginger but i'd had a few jars.

It's looking like a very strong team so far.

He'll be the strongest reserve then.

The Monarchs came within one heat from dumping the Tigers out of the Play-off Semi-Final. What's your point?

If the Tigers couldn't win anything with a Top 5 of Harris (9.55), Thompson (9.50), Howarth (8.84), Nagel (8.61) and Flint (8.17)* along with a couple of reserves who weren't out of their depth in the Championship then i doubt Harrison will be the answer. I think the problem lies elsewhere. *2025 average not GSA

What was the reason for posting this?

Doesn't matter. With Cammy as team manager you could name Bewley, Kurtz, Lindgren, Zmarzlik, Doyle, Kubera and Holder and they will win as much silverware as the Tigers won last year - none.

I doubt that but i guess we'll see, won't we.

Workington?

17, 18 who cares. According to his own website he's 17, you'd better tell him to update it. And remind me of a time when Luke Harrison scored highly around Ashfield, or for that matter looked anything other than a reserve when he visited the place. Hodder is probably a better bet for next year than Harrison (on an average more than 2 points lower).

They'll just sit around deciding on how to drive another nail into speedway's coffin. Like they do every year.

Ashton was talented and was not handed everything on a plate.

After last years experience with Ashton Boughen i can't see the Tigers going for Luke Harrison, another 17-year-old, on a 5 point average. I can see Tate Zischke (5.65?) being targeted due to the promotion's links with Workington. Flint and Zischke would be a very strong 3 & 4, possibly the strongest in the league.

Pedersen on a 5 point average at number 4 isn't likely to happen and wouldn't be condusive to a strong middle order.

That's true but what's to suggest that it won't be the opposite next year where he might start out well and then regresses? If he could attain what he achieved at the tail-end of last season i would agree with you about him being worthy of a place next year.

Probably.
