Don't think it's a HIgh Street Bank. He seems like more of a Merchant Banker. -
What about Northampton?
TheTopDrawer replied to RoundTheBoards's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Oh look. Polish troll is back. The one who said The SGP wasn't happening in 2026..... A few weeks before the 2026 SGP Calendar was announced. Now it's claiming that Companies House says Mayfield only came into existence in August 2025, even though Companies House clearly shows it was formed on 1 October 2014, and merely altered its name in 2025 to reflect its new move into MotoGP and Speedway -
So a person who was a co-director, with Terry Russell, in the company (supposedly) formed to save Swindon Speedway, is now saying Swindon Speedway was never viable? There's no hope for Speedway at Swindon, so you can go ahead and knock the Abbey stadium down? Why would someone be such a weasel? A cynic might think that with the sad demise of Terry Russell, there is now only one weak obstacle in Clarke Osborne's way. Clarkey boy might then have a look through his stationery cupboard at the brown envelopes, while he tries to think of a way to persuade the obstacle to disappear.

Surely if a small supermarket could draw 30,000 visits per week from the 33% Asian population of Bradford, then A Speedway team could draw a 60,000 gate from the 60% of white people in Bradford?

Premiership Predictions 2026
TheTopDrawer replied to TheTopDrawer's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I guess you didn't read my post. -
Rhymes with Clark. First syllable of surname rhymes with Nob.
-
Since it might be a couple of weeks before we know the Ipswich team (and whether Northampton is happening), we might as well start this now. using our best educated guesses. You're welcome to come back and edit your predictions before the season starts. I'll go:- 1. Belle Vue 2. Sheffield 3. King's Lynn 4. Leicester 5. Ipswich 6. Northampton

No. An assessed 8.00 is an assessed 8.00 It's not a GSA of 8.00 from 2025, which would attract a 2.5% discount.
-
Can't imagine Lambert getting in on the 7.81 GSA. He only did 6 matches in 2023. All the other matches in that rolling average are 7 years old from 2019. I'd expect him on an assessed 8.00 as a GP rider.

1.5

There's a typo in 9th place on the Mayfield Sports chart as it still shows 6,500 Euros rather than the new reduced amount. But in all the other positions you can see that the Mayfield Sports pay table shows reductions from the previous Warner Brother Discovery pay table.
-
Probably need to rethink that "Young Stars" nickname. (both parts).

Championship KO Cup Draw
TheTopDrawer replied to RoundTheBoards's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
No. He's from Swindon way I think. -
So just Buxton then? Would have thought the development needs of all the others in a development league would take priority over 1 stand alone club. The league has lost Belle Vue, Sheffield/Scunthorpe, and Plymouth by going professional rather than development.

Like I say, I was following the thread That said a fan was offering help. I didn't see anywhere where you said you were offering the service of a professional marketing company. If you are, it might be a good idea to give a link to their website. You never know, other clubs may be interested.
-
Because I was following the thread that said he was a fan offering to help.
-
Just imagine the kicking Sheffield would get on this forum if they unveiled a new logo drawn by a fan. They'd be accused of turning the club logo into some cheap Blue Peter competition - send in your drawings. Sheffield have done the right thing by getting their branding done professionally.

That seems a bit cruel. I always say hello to Mike if I see him in the pits. -
Peterborough Panthers 2023
TheTopDrawer replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think this is the link they meant to post (if I've got it right) https://www.facebook.com/foreverpanthers/posts/pfbid0jVbPWKYhcPLyyVyyn7yovxywpADVHZZJ3Y9PMLamX1QcpVyuKcUwvzFM7nTjLTh8l -
24 meetings for Leicester 6 retirements
-
Ok. That amused me.
-
Yes. I was correct.
-
They said "If Picko comes in on 7.76, the 6th rider will only have an average of 0.04". But there would be 3.04 left for the final rider, so to make that mistake they've presumably either counted Killeen as a 3.00 or allowed for Etheridge twice.
-
Sounds like you've counted Killeen as a 3.00, but he's the rising star. The 37 point average is only for the top 6 riders. Killeen doesn't count. The 6th rider (Etheridge or other) has to have a minimum of 3.00. And there's a maximum of 7.80 left for the remaining rider, which is enough for Pickering's 7.76
