TTT

Tungate hasn't been announced for a Swedish Club yet, Possible option? 5.89 holds value imo.

Wouldn't worry about Team Buillding, Fair share of good riders still available due to the Points Limit.

Honestly think Leicester are one too keep an eye on tbh. Douglas and Masters have been solid Heat Leaders for a good few years and the latter has already been a No.1 for Wolverhampton in a much stronger League. I think Leicester's Top 5 are all capable of improving their starting GSA's.

His spell at 2nd String was only until early May, Basically as soon as the season started though Phil. Anyway he's with you so we'll see what happens once the season starts.

Nope. I said Aces fans would've been expecting a Young and Exciting up and comer on a Assessed 5.00 rather than Kildemand, Someone like a Hellstrom-Bangs. You've also accused me of saying that most Belle Vue fans would've wanted to get rid of one of Kurtz/Bewley....Which I never said. Try reading the posts properly instead of getting triggered over someone's opinion.

That's interesting, Maybe Kildemand is a temporary signing until the end of May?

Lidsey had a mare that night in all fairness. End of the day, Kildemand's GSA for Oxford riding @ No.4 from 6 Meetings was 3.56 (Home) and 4.00 (Away) Including Bonus Points.

He said in the Polish press that he wants too.

I didn't say that at all.

Kildemand false GSA from riding against reserves, Not a No.4 as shown by gbspeedway.com stats.

Loads of easy points against Zischke, Mulford and his own team mates to be fair. Struggled @ No.4 for Oxford hence why he dropped to reserve which is the point I'm trying to make.

Both of them are on GSA's they attained riding as Heat Leaders. Wright even had to ride @ No.1 so I think his GSA holds a lot of value tbh, Surprised he's not been snapped up yet.

Not trolling here but can you see what I mean about Kildemand's highly inflated GSA. At number 2 Points Total Mon Mar 24th 2025 King's Lynn v Oxford (PRKO) 2, 0, 2, 2 6 Thu May 15th 2025 Oxford v Belle Vue (PRa) 2, 1', 3, 2, 1^, 0 9 +1 Mon Jun 2nd 2025 King's Lynn v Ipswich (PRKO) 1, 0, 2', 0 3 +1 (Guest) Average (not inc. bp) 5.14 Average (inc. bp) 5.71 At number 4 Points Total Thu Mar 27th 2025 Oxford v King's Lynn (PRKO) X 0 Mon Apr 21st 2025 Oxford v Leicester (PRa) 3, R, 1', 0 4 +1 Thu Apr 24th 2025 Sheffield v Oxford (PRa) 0, 1', 0, 1 2 +1 Mon Apr 28th 2025 King's Lynn v Oxford (PRa) R, 1, 0, 2 3 Mon May 5th 2025 Oxford v Birmingham (PRa) 2', 0, 0, F 2 +1 Mon May 5th 2025 Birmingham v Oxford (PRa) 2, 2, 2, 1, 0 7 Average (not inc. bp) 3.27 Average (inc. bp) 3.82

I know you have which goes to show how big the sacrifice is to keep Kurtz and Bewley. When I say backup, I'm referring to the fact that Kurtz and Bewley can't mathematically win a meeting by themselves even if they go unbeaten because 46 Points is the minimum target.

I was worried about what Belle Vue could do with a 37.00 Limit because alot of riders who go well around the NSS are on very nice GSA's like some of the names you've mentioned along with others like Wright and Zagar.

He's doing 3 Leagues already. Ekstraliga, Denmark and Sweden.

No I don't, It's a public forum and I'm entitled to post an opinion. 1 Year ago fans were on here, X, Facebook etc. all taking the pish out of Oxford for signing Kildemand so I don't buy into the fact that Belle Vue fans are happy to sign the same Ageing Injury Prone Rider on a highly inflated GSA due to him taking 5-7 Rides a night at reserve when they were expecting a Young and Exciting Talent like Hellstrom-Bangs on a 5.00 Assessed GSA. I'm delighted that you've kept Kurtz and Bewley because it means that Belle Vue pose no threat of winning anything again as they've got no backup.

Not at all. I'm pretty sure most Aces fans were underwhelmed deep down when Kildemand was announced. Nobody will admit it though.

Keeping Kurtz and Bewley for an ageing Kildemand on a GSA that he attained as a reserve for Oxford when taking 5+ Rides a night is just baffling to me.

Everyone has guaranteed entertainment in their team.

Proves that Mark Lemon won't let Kurtz or Bewley go unless forced into it by a One Rider Over 8.00 Rule. Defo the weakest rumoured Team on paper so far.

I'm just guessing. Personally I don't think we even need another competition considering we'd already be facing the same Teams enough times as it is.

If Northampton run then you do a 2 Group Split of 3 Teams. A - Belle Vue, Northampton and Sheffield B - Ipswich, King's Lynn and Leicester. 1 x H & A against each team in the Group with both Group Winners advancing to contest the Final.

Looking at Belle Vue's and Leicester's rumoured 1-7. You can certainly make a case for Ipswich to run without a proper No.1. Leicester are onto something with their team building imo where they don't have an out and out No.1 but they've got a proven Heat Leader at No.1 who's being backed up in every department of the team. Could very well be the way to go in a weakend Premiership.

It's a weird one because on Tom's last 4 visits to Sheffield as an Away Rider, He's failed to score more than 5 Points.
