  1. And you can add Fjelsted to the five Jutland teams. I reckon that starting from Vejen there would be six DSL tracks within an hour's drive. For me in outer London the equivalent figure is zero.
  2. No. If Redcar get the bonus at Worky (quite likely), then it only requires a Worky win at Scunthorpe and Oxford would have been out had they lost
  3. An unfair judgement given: 1] he hasn't ridden here since 2014, and 2] all but 7 of his appearances were made when under 21 and a junior still learning his craft
  4. Averaged more than the following in Poland last season: Pawlicki x2 Wozniak Kvech Przedpelski Lidsey Ras Jensen Woffinden Michelsen Doyle
  5. Fans want to see their team win. That means home wins, so the optimum result would be a narrow home win. Keeps KL fans happy and gives Spires fans grounds for belief a home win is just around the corner. Personally I'd be quite content with a 60-30 away win [some hope]
  6. Utter rubbish. Do you think that 1,1,1,1,1 =5 and being on the wrong end of 5 5-1s is as good as 1,1,1,1,1 = 5 and beating five opponents? All that really matters is how many opposition riders have been beaten. In the example above, that has generated so much heat and so little light, all three riders had beaten six opponents in their first four rides making their contributions equally valuable.
  7. I'm pretty sure there were a lot of similar sentiments being expressed at Leicester when they picked up their fourth wooden spoon in 5 years back in 2018. What I find irritating about this mindset is that it is an attempt to silence criticism, no matter how constructive. [You will see similar on the Spires socials too]
  8. Never had any trouble taking my own food in. [But I'm guessing they might draw the line at a whole roast hog]. They have pukka pies inside (propa Leicester food)
  9. Been tried*. Nobody liked it. Lasted one season * not precisely as you suggest, from recollection top 2 got 6/8 point headstart in semis.
  10. Seems unfair on Blodorn who missed the German Championship because it clashed with the SEC. [And why does Grobauer get second reserve when he finished below Celina in the German Championship?
  11. And it also serves as World Championship qualifying round with top 5(?) receiving GP Qualification round places.
  12. http://www.gbspeedway.com/2025/teamstats.php?mc1=x&mc2=f&mc3=av&mc4=King's Lynn Stars&team=King's Lynn Stars&league=A&comp=CMA&avtype=av Suggests Harris will be no 1 and Klindt drops down to reserve
  13. So should we close down speedway in countries like Italy, Romania, Netherlands that don't have enough riders to fill a meeting?
  14. Stop it, you'll have me imagining Trump in a dinner jacket. 🤑
  15. https://ligue-nationale-speedway.fr/match/lns-moutl-2025-morizes?fbclid=IwY2xjawJqVdNleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHsctAlx7O8shq2qQ-_jPvnm9GEwFwjSe7Th0ud-o1fcK_LttmfwpVlIgLUmz_aem_WmWYZMOtr8oTXpxbzJtqpw
  16. It's x-rated. You won't find it unless you switch off safe search 🫢
  17. It would require: 1 a complete reshaping of the club/rider relationship, including riders becoming employees 2 strong independent regulation .... and neither of those are going to happen
  18. Although an intact one survives at California Country Park.
  19. Doesn't apply to riders with assessed averages
  20. They may well have asked, but it doesn't get over the problem that he is not eligible.
  21. Yes, but I'm pretty sure we are [rightly] in special dispensation territory here. After all if Poole had managed to make it to the tapes for the KO Cup Sheffield (and Tai) would already have ridden, just like every other team. I would expect a 100% guest (105% at home) for 28 days. That would make Dan Bewley the obvious choice for Thursday
  22. Birmingham were lucky there wasn't a Croatian Championship meeting tonight. 😉
