Reviresco

Would have to look at how Lambert is going at the time though, but at least there is the option of using him in the U21 Reserve position I suppose... (Coral now reduced Nicholls' price to 7/1, I see.)

Yes, great news for Berwick and congratulations to all concerned. Certainly far better news than that announced by Workington earlier...

It is great news and congratulations to everyone concerned. The statement does say that there may be some additional tickets available after the Test Event on 13th March has been held: http://www.bellevueaces.co/newsitem.aspx?id=1627 (From a personal point of view it's a bit disappointing that spectators will not be able to view from the 2nd bend, as that is where I have always watched my speedway given a choice, but the roof of the Sports Centre looks quite cosy, so may have to brush up on my spider man skills.) It's all moved along brilliantly since this report on BBC Northwest Tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxQdxKchhFQ

Are Coral still offering 9/1 against Nicholls riding in the 2016 World Cup Final? http://sports.coral.co.uk/?action=GoEvType&ev_type_id=29009

Yes, just seen that, so the first 3 x Sky Sports televised league fixtures are all scheduled for a Wednesday with the one on 13th April currently 'TBC'. You can't see this being Coventry v King's Lynn as it's already been moved, and not to Wednesday 13th, and with Poole not having a confirmed fixture for this night and there being 2 x NL fixtures only currently scheduled for the 13th, it looks as if another fixture is going to be re-scheduled for Wednesday 13th April. If Sky carry on scheduling speedway coverage on Wednesday nights into May, they will of course have to be mindful of the Danish League fixtures from 4th May onward.

Oh, it was so much simpler, and healthier, when there were 3 channels only, no remote control, no means of recording - apart from maybe a cine camera pointed at the TV - but still having highlights of ice speedway on World of Sport's Sports Special on a Saturday afternoon. The good old days...

Not quite sure what you mean by this being a 'one off two leg event' as it is an Elite League 'A' fixture with the reverse fixture scheduled for Brandon on Monday 11 April (is this being televised too, as it's been moved from the previous Friday?), but of course the first league meeting to be scheduled for Sky coverage is also on a Wednesday (30 March) when Belle Vue host Poole on SS4: http://www.skysports.com/watch/speedway-on-sky

I was doing a bit of research and stumbled over the web-site of the Zarnovica Speedway Club, Slovakia and don't know why but remembered there was this Thread and that we hadn't found a Slovak partner for Martin Vaculik. A bit of further searching turned up that both Patrik Buri and Michal Tomka took part in the World U21 Qualifier that was held at Zarnovica on 30 May last year, scoring 4 and 2 points respectively: http://www.speedwayclub.sk/jazdci http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/14513/world-u21-qualifer-zarnovica-2015 So, if you are still interested, you may want to add a Slovak pair with either of these two partnering Vaculik. (Michal Tomka looks as if he may be a prospect having just turned 17 in November.)

And Dennis Jonsson as a No. 8...

Depends who he is an asset of, be it an EL or PL club.

The tru7.com branding looks to be more yellow and black, so hopefully no green and more likely to be akin to Coventry colours than the old enemy up the road. From memory, yellow has been included in Witches' logos in the past, either as a background or piping. As an example: https://sp.yimg.com/xj/th?id=OIP.M9adef8f8481026eff900471ef1166c69o0&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=300 (I remember the panic Billy got into before the start of the 1983 season when he realised that the leathers he had used the season before at King's Lynn included green and yellow (or is it 'gold') stars down the sleeves, as an association with Australia rather than KL, and thought this could possibly be misconstrued on his return to Foxhall and quickly had them changed to, I think, blue, white and red.)

Wasn't 'Ermolenko's' Jawa discovered to be 570cc and therefore unusable in league speedway?

Lewis Bridger on BBC Essex Sport earlier today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03kftt6

You would hope that in a family friendly sport that there would be no incidence of indecency

Yes, Bridger probably couldn't get much better backing than from the Revolution Speedway Pro Race Team. With both him and Lewi Kerr signed up as Revolution team riders for 2016, Lakeside have two very well sponsored and supported riders. Could be interesting in the Lakeside pits this season, with Revolution aligning with Jawa and Tatum's connection with Gerhard.

Last 20 x EL matches: Lewis Bridger: 88 rides / 159 points / Average = 7.23 Bjarne Pedersen: 91 rides / 149 points / Average = 6.55

You mentioned Holub on the previous Thread that Sidney started Colin. Do you really believe that Holub will improve on his assessed 7 point average despite averaging under 4.00 from his 15 rides in 2015?

The originally issued Polish Nice Division 1 League schedule showed that there was only one clash between Lakeside's fixtures and those of Bjarne's Polish club, Polonia Pila, and that was on Friday 05 August when Pila are due to be riding at home to Bydgoszcz and Lakeside are due to be riding at home to Belle Vue. The Lakeside statement states that there are also clashes with Coventry and Poole,so it looks as if these are clashes with Bjarne's Danish club Holsted and would be on: Friday 20 May when Holsted are at Munkebo and Lakeside are due at Coventry and; on Friday 01 July when Holsted are at Esbjerg and Lakeside are due to be at home against Poole. (There is also a clash on Wednesday 03 Aug when Lakeside are due at Belle Vue and Holsted are at home to Outrup.) Polish League 1 fixtures were announced around 19 January and the Danish fixtures were issued around 26 January.

Sid, you started a similar Thread to this back in December ('Six Riders to Improve Their Averages Any Thoughts?'): http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=80845&p=2727689 (On the original Thread you went for: Bates, Thorssell, Fricke, Morris, Andersen, Ellis.)

Current possible clashes, dependant on start times: Thursday 31 March: Redcar v Newcastle (Tyne Tees Trophy) & King's Lynn v Belle Vue (EL) Monday 02 May: Scunthorpe v Newcastle (PL KOC 3pm) & Belle Vue v King's Lynn (EL 1pm) Monday 30 May: Newcastle v Glasgow (PL) & Wolverhampton v King's Lynn (EL) Monday 29 Aug: Scunthorpe v Newcastle (PL 3pm) & Wolverhampton v King's Lynn (EL 7:30pm)

Chris Popple will continue to present at Leicester in 2016 according to this piece on the Isle of Wight web-site: http://www.wightwarriors.co/news/59/the-warriors-welcome-chris-popple-to-the-presentation-team

Plus a World U21 Qualifier (and National League racing too).

Lewis Kerr & Bridger will be two.

Don't see Lewi creeping around the white line at Foxhall in this clip: https://twitter.com/LewisKerrRacing/status/670711063218937856 Good news is that he has been back on a bike again, at King's Lynn on Friday, and was looking good and quick from reports. Also sounds as though he will be part of the Team GB training camp in Croatia early next month.

You will most probably know this already, but Roynon's Effective Average of 4.39 is shown as 101 points scored from 92 rides in his last 20 matches.
