Don't see much value from Batchelor, he's not looked like rediscovering his pre Pandemic form.

I thought Tungate had replaced Riss in the Witches line-up?

Strange one for sure! If not Ellis why not Kerr?

Well he sadly won't have to visit Blunsden either.

Well he sadly won't have to visit Blunsden either.

Not sure he ever completed a fixture, got injured on his first appearance (at Purfleet) and never returned!

Well he wouldn't have to visit Purfleet (sadly), which but be short his previous GB stint! Anders Thomsen would seem more likely. Fingers Xed

Lindgren has long Covid health issues, dunno what they are but missed a month of racing with Vastervik. A relative of mine has long Covid, never feel fully in control of their limbs. Can't be good on a Speedway bike! C Holder maybe. Bewley, hope springs eternal. Thorsell would struggle to average 6:00 in the Premiership looking at his scores on the continent. Unattractive signed on his previous average.

Eh? I thought Bjarne was talking Vaculik into ring a 2023 Panther!

So not much value on a 7.9 average! (he bring Lawson).

At least they have a 2023 thread, Ipswich don't and Birmingham don't in the Championship section.

I really do wish they'd stop the your #1 in the averages must ride at #1 rule. It removes some of the "skill" required to be a team manager, as long as the reserves have to be 6 & 7 a team manager should be able to put the other riders in any order they wish.

Seems odd that they would rather they have Kasprzak than Musielak? Is that about weakening Grudziądz?

Did they all avoid riding at Foxhall also?

Glad I waited until I brought a ticket on the website.

Hope the weather a hour (and a bit) East is the same as it is here. Bright blue skies Best place (sat nav postcode) to park (for free)?

Thanks, I assume Miskowiak & Swidnicki (22 Aug 2023) are no longer eligible for reserve berth? Kubera (April), Lidsey (February) & Bewley (may) will all be 24 next year, but remain eligible for the U24 position/#8?

NKI, Klindt, Lawson, Jorgensen, Pickering & Jakobsen = 40.42 so unlikely.

Rumours suggest R Worrall is staying at Leicester with their move to the Premiership it means Stars will need an addition to the current septet. With Worrall gone could Stars fit in both Klindt & NKI. I know Polish Ekstraliga agreed that their riders could ride in two other leagues but NKI wasn't an Ekstraliga rider in 2022 and isn't likely to be next year. Are the other Polish leagues following suit?

You're discounting Lublin, but it does seem a two horse race with the expected line-ups. If Lampart & Cierniak are still eligible for reserve berths I think that gives Lublin the edge.

Jorgensen seems part if the furniture at Saddlebow Rd now, would say Pickering maybe in high demand on that relatively low average but would hope he has some loyalty to the Stars having been made captain this year. Iversen is 40 and is definitely on the decline, but is still a decent heat leader in the UK, not sure he's a #1 anymore though.

Is Brennan always that poor at Kings Lynn (just looking at scores - I wasn't there).

Fricke didn't even ride in the Ekstraliga.

I can't make much sense of it either, but Fricke did miss the last couple of GP's didn't he? Ekstraliga stats would suggest Jack Holder is the 27th best rider in the World.

The Pairs meeting at the NSS has been scheduled for this Thursday since early September I think, but if any team shows up with their "Top Two" I'll be surprised. Let's see who else Kings Lynn sign!
