TTT

Oxford will need to rely on Bomber doing Bomber things in Heats 14 and 15. Magic and Klindt aren't gating at all.

Oxford by 20+.

Tomorrow Night it all starts again. I hope we all have a profitable season.

Scotty saving Rodger's backside for a couple of weeks, But the short term deal only papers over the glaringly obvious cracks that will eventually unfold. Scotty will be fully committed to his Eurosport/Discovery punditry work once the TV meetings start so Rodger's will have to look for a long term replacement for Pawlicki now rather than sitting around waiting for everything to officially go belly up because most Speedway fans know that the chances of Pawlicki showing up at all are minimal at best.

I think we're done forever now tbh, I just cant see MT stumping up a ton of cash to build a new track. It's just not possible to recoup the financial outlay.

Probably due to LR's only possible replacement being Schlein. I don't buy his previous lengthy shortlist claim at all, I wouldn't be shocked if Brum were given special permission to run with Premiership Guests at No.1. Higher ups will have to do them a favour otherwise the league will be in chaos before it's even properly started.

LR's comments in Thursday's press release. “I’ve seen some of the rumours there that ‘we’re not going to see him’, but it was he who was determined he was going to still be at our Press and Practice next Monday to be with the lads and meet the fans in the evening and then the following week he will fly in to do the Media Day at Belle Vue.“That is brilliant and it shows his commitment to the club; the doom and gloom merchants are out there saying ‘he’s going to let you down’, well no he’s not.

I suppose England will ride on Monday's and Wednesday's in 2025. Will only lose a couple of Danish riders then as nobody else would chose Denmark over Britain.

If Zielona Gora think it's to their detriment that Pawlicki rides in the UK then they won't even hesitate to pull his starting permission for British racing, That's the problem. Zielona Gora have only just been promoted after 2 seasons outside of the Ekstraliga so they won't be lenient if push comes to shove.

I'll be surprised if Piotr completes a lap for Brum imo. Can see him turning up for P+P just so Brum can put in a word to the higher ups about getting an R/R facility when they cant find an adequate replacement for him. Nicki Pedersen 2.0 situation imo.

Writing is on the wall already. Just a case of how many meetings Brum last imo.

Fans are not taking the reserves into consideration. If Kemp doesn't score well then Leicester lose because JT is out of his depth. Kemp couldn't handle the No.6 role at Wolves a couple of season's ago so it's something to make a note of imo.

I wouldn't visit KL even if they had a top three of Zmarzlik, Sayfutdinov and Woffinden. I will never allow myself under any circumstances to line the pockets of a guy who's assisted bully boy's in demolishing our home. Ipswich, Leicester or Scunthorpe which ever local track you choose to visit this forthcoming season you can at least have the comfort in your own mind that you're not caving in to the trap set by Buster to lure you down to the AFA to support familiar faces (That's my logic anyway). If you do go to King's Lynn then Buster wins because he only has to pay for 7 riders instead of 14 whilst getting the biggest attendances he's had at the AFA in recent memory which translates to.......A higher financial income for a lower financial outlay. Never forget that we didn't even have our own funeral before he started signing up most of our 2023 team whilst not even bothering to photoshop images of riders either whilst every other club did when it come to their 2024 signing announcements.

The best way for Panthers fans to say FU to Buster is by temporarily cheering on / supporting Ipswich (Permanently if we never come back) while we're not operating as a club. Fans very rarely walk away from the Sport because it's a Sport fans hold close to their hearts and it's a Sport they truly love hence the reason why fans always end up attending another local track regularly if their club closes, Swindon fans at Oxford as a recent example and you'll see Wolves fans flocking down to Birmingham on a regular basis this season. If any Panthers fan is desperate to see some live Speedway then they should head down to Foxhall and help Chris Louis and co. out financially on their gate instead of falling for Buster's blatant plan of trying to lure Panthers down to the AFA and help his beloved KL out with their declining attendances by signing as many Panthers riders as possible while he assists his AEPG buddies in bulldozing the Showground. Ipswich will be King's Lynn's biggest local rivals now so that's another reason to stick two fingers up in Buster's face. As far as I'm concerned any Panthers fan who attends a meeting at the AFA for the foreseeable future is not only gullible for falling into the trap set by Buster but they're also part of the problem for letting Buster get away with his actions by continuing to line his pockets with their hard earned cash.

He'll get his comeuppance one day. I feel the same way and I was going to hate on KL for the foreseeable future but looking at the bigger picture and having had time to calm down, I don't have a problem with the KL fans, their riders or Rob Lyon so I don't want to wish bad luck on them. They're just employees and supporters at the end of the day who haven't done anything wrong. My problem is with Buster and Buster only.

Probably Diane Abbott at a Pro-Palestinian march.

I wouldn't bother to be honest now Haza, I don't see how anyone could recoup the money it would cost to start fresh at a different site. Also knowing how much Britain is pushing with their agendas lately I wouldn't be surprised if Speedway was forced into using Electric bikes in a couple of years which would no doubt kill the sport off entirely. We're already seeing videos of electric bikes to test the waters on social media platforms.

Told you. We're done now imo.

Happy retirement Hans Andersen, Thank you for everything.

Sad news. RIP Graham.

I rate Jenkins, Saw him a lot for us last season and he got better and better as the season went on.

1. REDCAR (Will start slow due to a couple of riders returning from big injuries but once they get going they'll be difficult to stop) 2. GLASGOW (Top two should clean up and they've gone for tried and tested at reserve instead of 2.00 newcomers so that'll give them an advantage) 3. OXFORD (Top two should clean up like Glasgow, Also got four average improvers in Atkins, Boughen Jenkins and Killeen) 4. SCUNTHORPE (3 experienced HL's, Mountain should improve considering he's D/UP, Lambert should kick on in a weakened league and Ablitt is one of the better reserves in the league) 5. POOLE (The spearhead is good but the tail end of the team as it's too weak, Banking on the top 4 firing on all cylinders to win meetings) 6. BERWICK (Best Berwick side for a good few years but it's still a weak one, Hume is a poor rider, Etheridge doesn't offer much on the road and Schlein isn't riding Prem which will have a negative impact on his race sharpness imo, Kerr as a No.1 isn't tried and tested yet either) 7. WORKINGTON (Great signings in Voulas and Zischke but the Cook/Batchelor 1&5 combo has got disaster written all over it and it'll cost them crucial meetings) 8. EDINBURGH (Poor side and is banking on the same riders improving who let them down last season) 9. PLYMOUTH (Where are the Heat Winners going to come from?)

Leicester should make the play-offs because something would have to go drastically wrong for them to lose at Home. A lot to like about the Lions 24 septet with improvements made across the board. Leicester's basically got 5 Heat Leaders from the 2023 season plus one of the stronger No.6's in the league to go with a RS.

Wiktor Lampart should be a 5.00 and not a 6.00 as well, Just like Tarasenko and Wojdylo were last year.

1. IPSWICH (Weak links replaced with a GB International on a bargain average and young Brit on the up in Jenkins) 2. SHEFFIELD (Took a gamble by going top heavy but it's worked out like a treat because most teams are going with two young Brits at reserve) 3. OXFORD (Underrated side, Will start slow due to riders coming back from injury but once they get going then this 1-7 will be dangerous, Solid from top to bottom) 4. LEICESTER (Will not lose at Home with too many track specialists and Heat winners in their 1-7, Will nick a couple of wins on the road too against the weaker sides) 5. BELLE VUE (I think it's the weakest side they've put out in a few years, It needs various riders to step up for everything to click and it's one ask too many imo) 6. KING'S LYNN (Will win at Home regularly but away form will be non existent imo) I hope I'm wrong on this last one but..............................BIRMINGHAM (Won't see out the season, The fans will turn up early in the season mainly to watch the oppositions riders but the novelty will soon wear off and they'll walk away leaving it not viable for racing to continue for the rest of the season imo)
