Grand Final 2nd leg Ipswich vs Leicester

[Aries]

Such a nice lad is Dan. One of speedway’s real good guys. Never met anyone with a bad word to say about him.

Well if you're gonna be there every week you need to feel comfortable 

In his three Foxhall visits this year, Dan got 23pts from 15 rides. Would you take him if circumstances meant that he was available ?

Anyone else think that all of these compliments from Bewley have a deeper meaning.

I can see him replacing Emil next season tbh.

You would be mad not to - top class on and off the track

Has the skill and talent required to put those figures right in double quick time

Let's hope there still a league structure that can accommodate him and those like him wherever he ends up

I’d personally love to see him at Foxhall and try to get to grips with the track by riding it regularly. He’s such a class rider I’m sure it wouldn’t take him too long to start scoring heavily.

It is all a bit weird isn’t it. He’s been praising us for a while and to turn up last night was a surprise. We don’t know what they have in store for next year yet but in any scenario, I don’t think Bewley would fit with his average. Same for Emil.

I think they’ll go with Doyle and Brennan because even if the starting team average stays the same, we’ll have to shave off a chunk. If it’s a lower limit, it’ll have to be an even bigger chunk.

Going to be an interesting winter to see what they’ve got in store for next year.

According to the man himself he doesn't stop when he's at the back and always continues to finish races.

I guess you along with myself must be imagining it.

17 race retirements this season, 12 for Leicester (more than everybody else that rode for Leicester combined) and 5 for Berwick

There is a very simple way to stop riders just giving up at the back. Make the scoring 4,3,2,1 for those who finish the race and 0 for those who don't finish for whatever reason.

Shouldn't need to adjust the whole sport to cater for quitters though 🤷‍♂️

Interesting closing remarks...."in the future"...not "next season"....

That is due to the current deal between TNT ( That was given to them as part of the Eurosport closure ) and British speedway expiring at the end of this month.

TNT I understand are keen to return if there is a Premiership/ Superleague but Speedway future ventures will be putting it out to Tender let’s hope that DAZN don’t get it though .

I wonder if Harry Redknapp can use his profile to get it back on SkySports?
