I say again 97 different riders rode in the UK last year

People keep banging on about not enough riders for one big league....given the fact that Chris Louis claims unless theres a 6 team Premiership Ipswich will not run in 2026....that leaves 13 teams, a total of 91 riders required....97 riders rode in the UK last season...a quick pedantic way to look at it as its plainly clear there will be no room for the Likes of Dan Brady Max and Jack in one big league, but add in a few new comers Cooper Rushen etc, add in the Aussies already plying their trade in Europe but not the UK, Michael West etc, Gets the likes of Matic Ivacic to return and similar, try and entice the likes of Berge and Bellego along with any up and coming new Aussie, Swede, Dane and 13 teams can easily be filled....obvioulsy whether the talent would be spread evenly is another question But in the meantime the can is kicked down the road to sometime in Jan when they finally decide the Premiership is dead or alive..and then wow, where have all the Premiership riders gone??? Dougy, Lidsey Ellis, Musielak, Chris Holder all sat at home now thinking well i cant hang around waiting for the BSPA to get their arse in gear, I'll sign in Poland, Sweden and Denmark...come Feb Sheffield ring Chris up and he says sorry mate, schedules already full, no time for Mondays and Thursday, Same with Dougy, Becker etc

Drew Kemp Under 7 at even money Heat 2, potentially gets 3 points although I would say Dan T is fav to take the heat win Heat 7, Will he get a point? Possibly can hold off Ellis if he gates Heat 11, Cant see him beating any of Emil, Danny or Sam Heat 12, if he replaces Joe, but again still up against Dan T, so will do well to get a point Heat 14, 2 points at best and even if he beats both Witches, of which one will most likely be Dan T again In my opinion will have to ride extremely well to get 6 points at best By the same token also taking Dan Thompson +1 to outscore Drew also at even money

Id imagine 7 rides for both Magic and PK

Yet still rode in Denmark last night scoring paid 5?

Where did Tungate get injured?

Steve Worrall said earlier in the season that he only wanted to do the one league. Although Sheffield have until the 10th August to make a change, 75% hits on the 11th when they ride against Belle Vue. By the 10th August Scunthorpe will only have 2 meetings remaining, as i doubt they will make the play offs, so maybe he will do more than one league for a couple of meetings if it extends his season into September

If the greyhounds are moving to Dunstall Park then what does this mean for the future of Monmore Green? Surely Wolverhampton cant sustain 2 dog tracks less than 3 mile apart?

So, how and why are Birmingham being allowed to run RR for MJJ when the 28 day facility ended yesterday?

If there is 10 points to play with why not go with James Pearson and Michael West, both currently in Europe and neither riding in the UK

Whats the format of this meeting? Im assuming top 2 straight to he final next 4 to a race off?

Ooops sorry. Meant -28. But was still considering the minus 16 at heat 8 Anyway stand by my original comment the Brummies won’t hit 30

Ipswich v Birmingham Snapped up the -16 @5/6on offer for the Witches, cant for the life of me see how the Brummies get 37 points at Foxhall, will do exceptionally well to get 30. Rew Over 6 @5/4, is a no brainer, likely to get 6 rides and should be able to hit the occasional 2nd place. Brennan over 10 @6/5, dont see him getting beaten and the likelihood of Emil and Doyle skipping heat 15, should mean Tom gets 5 rides MJJ under 9 @ 10/11, will do well to be beating Thompson and Jenkins around Foxhall let alone the top 5. Sheffield v Oxford Sheffield will win this easily but whether they can cover the handicap of -20 is unknown, using RR they may well have hit 56 points, but with the changes to the Tigers septet, it could be a bit hit and miss how Sedgy and Kerr hit the ground running. Wright over 6 @6/5, for very similar reasons above, 4 rides and should be coming 2nd in all of them, add in a potential heat 15 and should easily get over 6 Riss +1 over Rowe @ 6/5, Both will probably score a similar amount but with the possibility that Riss will get a TR and also Heat 15 then will outscore Anders from his 4 rides.

Worrall stated at CLRC that he would only ride in the Championship this year wants to get back to just enjoying speedway riding once a week

Willing to take a punt on Oxford at +4, they managed 42 points at home to Ipswich so should be capable of 44, 45 points at home to Leicester Charles Wright over 7, feel he should have the beating of Kildemand in most heats and more than capable of finishing ahead of Leicesters lower order, with the possibility of 5 rides should be getting almost double figures Gusts -1 over Kemp, Now Sam Hagon has gone and a "home" rider brought in just feel it may be harder for Kemp to score as freely and certainly shouldnt be picking up any extra rides, so as long as Gusts performs well in Heat 2, Kemp will find it hard to score more than Gusts
