ouch Posted yesterday at 04:57 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:57 PM (edited) Jason is nearly a point under Dan and Dan’s CMA is 1-2 points under his actual 2026 Speedway Star figure so whatever we do it’s no kind of replacement. Looking at final 2025 figures, Jaimon is marginally higher than Jason so if Northampton agreed we could have Jaimon and they could have Jason. A GP man lining up for them might produce a bit of press and we could keep our family intact rather than sign a journey man.

TTT Posted yesterday at 05:35 PM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:35 PM Here's what I think will happen because it's British Speedway after all where unprofessionalism and under-handed tactics eventually plays a role. 1. Belle Vue will use Guests until Matej Zagar has made a full recovery. 2. Once Matej Zagar is fit we will get a statement from Northampton about how delighted they are to bring Matej Zagar back into their septet only it won't be in place of Jonas Jeppesen, It'll be in place of Jaimon Lidsey because Northampton have been so impressed with Jonas since he joined the Club. 3. Belle Vue then sign Jaimon Lidsey and go on to win the League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted yesterday at 07:34 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:34 PM If it was me I’d have guests at the NSS (mostly Jaimon) and RR away as nobody cares about away meetings and it will save us a bob or two to spend on a decent signing for the last five days of our qualification campaign. A top GP man might come over for those last few days before the play offs and then it’s all to play for. For RR away I’d run Peter, Brady, Brady, (one a TS), Zach & Zach (15). That should allow us to keep losses close then use our massive home track advantage* to secure bonus points. *Copy write BSF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole personally. Very injury prone, and his request to have a holiday mid-season whilst at Sheffield has put a sour taste in my mouth.

Lambert would be my guess when the season finishes in Poland, until then guests or r/r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
