Oops, just seen skidders post.

Isn't it the lease holders(Osbourne-Clarke) that get the money? Surely the greyhound people are similar to yourselves, a 3rd party?

I would hedge my bets towards an evening meeting for better racing but unknown at this moment. Sorry

You can swap them at any time. It just makes a mess of your programme, if you fill one in. Bigger points available with Kennedy at 7(similar to P'boro this year) with Kinsley being the sacrificial lamb. Pick Kinsley for the, hopefully, easier heats as the meeting progresses.

??????????? Puzzled! Why not Birmingham or Edinburgh? Who do you not like in their teams? Why go against Oxford & Poole? Who do you like in their teams? ..... ....

That is the ONLY positive thing you have said for a while!

Not doing Championship just Premiership(Kings Lynn), Poland liga 1 & Denmark.

British reductions to apply. That is what I get.

With being 17 years old & 2 years experience, I would say another year would help enormously whether too good or not. Gilkes is probably another who could & I would have said Palin could have, also, if he could have rode 3 leagues as the top league could have set him back. Yes, people will say if you're good enough then ok but I think you need that bit of experience & learning behind you before taking that step further. The Fast Track in the Elite(Premiership) proved that a few years back. The Poles seem to have been doing ok this last 5 years or more keeping youth at reserve & now taking it a step further with the U24 league which will benefit all nationality of youth riders.

I would think so barring any rider that moved to ride for another team (Lawson, Kerr, Brennan, Kemp)

Ryan 7.96 Jake 7.88 Probably, Hopefully.

Just seen on BSP Ltd site. Do not forget British reduction of 2.5% where applicable.

Ok. We'll keep it a secret then.

How come you have named the squads of almost every other team in the top 2 leagues but can't name your own? Funny that!

Good question! Only the promoters know in their secret society!

This year, all teams are built to a 42 point limit & like on other topics, posters are saying that ??????? is a poor signing but never give alternatives. Who would be available at the end of April 2022 when the first(new) CMA green sheet averages are out?

I would think Tero knows that as well. This team is built to win(hopefully) the home meetings but will lose a lot away(as I have posted previously) & the riders Rob has chosen DO score well at the EWR. This last season proved that if you win your home meetings then you will reach the play offs.

Is this part of a college thesis type project, club based, media company or just volunteers?

How many meetings did he miss due to fixture clashes, even after signing mid-season?

being a guest is not applied to your average only league meetings ridden for your club(s).

Kasper Andersen another one who struggled with visa issues. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.39896

I would think that if they were that annoyed they would have said something earlier to slate Basso & Glasgow if it was "known" after the play offs that he had been tapped up.

Over the years & early Scorpion years, I have done Boston(Kings Lynn), Mildenhall, Buxton, Rye House, Stoke, Birmingham, Sheffield, Somerset, Redcar, Newcastle, Leicester, Workington, Peterborough(Fours) & taken in top league meetings at Belle Vue( K/Lane & NSS) & Wolves.

It is in the SS that it will be Tuesdays & some weekends although I also read a while ago that an U24 rider in an Ekstraliga team can not ride the same day for an U24 team.

I almost entirely agree that you need improvers or riders to hold their own & in the probable team, we possibly have. Kinsley, although his points, or lack of them for Redcar, could be at his level but he hardly rode many meetings last season so track time very limited. He knows he has to improve his gear, having ridden at this level before, so get him on a track he likes then a possible small improvement is possible. Kennedy likes our track & has an almost even home & away split so another year in the Championship could see an improvement. 2nd strings are always hard to predict so with Lambert riding with a better heat leader, his average could stay the same or a slight drop. Again, heat 1 & 8 are his big ones at no2. Palin, after his first year, should improve mainly on the away tracks & is showing ambition by improving his gear as for sale, on his twitter page, he has both a PJR & Graversen for sale. So what & how is he improving? A more up to date tuned model or a different tuner? The next rider possible/probably signed should improve his away form significantly more that 2021. His confidence could have taken a hit with that bad crash in the GP Qualifier but he can show a bit of back bone & turn his cheek to a few comments on here & show a bit of Territorial Army in him, then he will do ok. The last 2 Xmas presents have shown that they can score decently away so riding on a home track that they have mastered, should see improvements So, all in all, not too bad, not too negative, but 2 things we do know is that Xmas is soon upon us & we will be entertained at the EWR.
