With Dan confirming he broke his collarbone last night, do we think Stewart will go down the R/R route rather than guests? Think latest averages (issue 5 26th Apr) would mean Nick Morris, Kyle Howarth and reserves cover the rides

Awkward looking crash for Dan at Leicester tonight, left track holding right arm, hopefully nothing damaged

Change will be something like Gilkes for Lambert, with Poole keeping Newman after his 28 day contract

Godfrey too tight to get the problem fixed, had this tapes issue from start of 2025 season

Wonder if the Foxes will get some track time in the afternoon ahead of meeting, bit like their P&P?

Green light given, so first home meeting will be on Thursday. Hope it’s a massive success for all involved

Think Gilkes may have burnt his bridges with Sheffield after last minute pay demands at start of 2025 season. Joe T has actually put in a couple of good performances around Owlerton in last 18 months (alongside the odd did too)

Not a lot to work with 0.05 under the points limit, Etheridge is on a 3.00 so would have 3.05 Premiership average or converted 4.57 Championship average, can only see Mulford or Pijper as a replacement if they go down that path of an early replacement as sure they’ll give Luke Killeen more time before they look at the RS position

Lions by 12, can’t see Holder jr getting much back up from his fellow heat leaders

Oops, I got this one the wrong way round 🤪

Think we’ll see shortly that @PhilTheAce will be proved right on this one, no matter what’s been reported in the Speedway Star

That’s defo the way to go, doesn’t give future opposition track time whilst giving some of the home riders more chance to get used to new circuit

No Sheffield don’t provide a streaming service unfortunately

Even with 3 former Sheffied Tigers in the Leicester Lions team I can’t see them troubling the home team. Expect big points from Pickering and the Holder brothers in a 52-38 home win

Godfrey will behaving heart palpitations seeing that Ipswich news. Supporting their riders and giving fans a streaming service, doesn’t go with with his “take from the sport not give” mantra

You’ve got to question what he improved for his £60k a year income from British speedway? The TV experience would have been managed by the TV company if he wasn’t about, only addition I can think of is the helmet colour rug 🙈

Belle Vue built to win at home and hopefully nick an aggregate bonus point here and there. Struggled around Owlerton for a few seasons now

Feeling this will be a close one, majority of the Belle Vue riders have had a good amount of sparring matches/ Individuals in Poland and the odd UK outing where as Sheffield have a couple without much true racing action which could give Belle Vue the upper hand. Hopefully there’s some good action between Bewley, Kurtz, Holder bros and Pickering and not too much follow the leader races. Just based on it being early doors and the odd rusty rider going for a home win for Belle Vue 47-43

Adams jnr will be confirmed as the team manager of the Northampton NobodyKnows once they finalise the remaining riders

That’s the four I was told alongside Harrison as the RS. Could be a reshuffle with NKI being out or they go R/R until he’s back and get what the can for the final three, also told that Wright was approached but he turned them down weeks ago

Can’t imagine much new news last night, imagine P&P would have been confirmed for Thursday 26th (can’t see any other viable date) and that’s about it. Don’t think Damian Bates will have given any Northampton news before giving the promotion there the chance to be first with anything team related

Wonder if this will be anything near the Northampton 1-7 for the coming season: 1 Jaimon Lidsey 7.87 2 Rohan Tungate 5.89 3 Nicolai Klindt 6.46 4 Charles Wright 6.11 5 Niels Iversen 6.71 6 Kye Thomson 3.95 7 Luke Harrison RS Using the last updated 2025 averages including any reductions I think that the team total is 36.99

Mikkel retired maybe 3-4 seasons ago but has just announced he’s signed back for Slangarup in Denmark for this season so on the comeback trail

Mikkel Bech?

Wonder if the American is still part of the ownership? Know some of the numbers initially didn’t sit well with him
