And Lawson isn't really a No1 in the top tier, similar to how Tom Brennan also isn't... Juggling a full time job and starting your "other job" at various places around the country, at 730pm, must be a challenge from time to time... Plus as we know 99% of riders are bullet proof these days due to the complete lack of available replacements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly as we all know more chance of Harry revealing he has a seven figure league sponsor lined up for 2027. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasing to see but do we have any idea what this constitutes 2k, 3k? I saw a few heats on the Witches facebook page and there did seem to be quite a few more on under the back straight stand that in previous videos i have seen or on TV but i wouldn't have said it was a massive crowd. Expected a home win perhaps by one or two more points than i reckoned - Witches got the BP which SHOULD i feel just see them to 4th spot!

Doubling Up is the perfect system for both riders and promoters... A poor night on Monday can be covered by good nights, up to four times, later in the week, and you can always pick up plenty of Guest bookings if your team isn't riding.. No major prize on offer, means no major pressure to perform, as does having no major number of adequate replacements for your place should you not perform... And promoters get to share the costs of these riders... A nice, cosy agreement.... And one which doesn't condition, or prepare, the better young lads, in any way shape or form, for racing abroad in much higher standard leagues, and international competitions...

Nothing really to play for , Meeting against local rivals, kids go free or could it be the cooper Rushen effect, after seeing him on normal TV people want to see him live ? Any thoughts Far from it, Lynn and Ipswich are in a three way battle for 3rd and 4th with Sheffield. Plenty to race for last night! 51 minutes ago, YeOldPitGate said: Wouldn't it be great to see some/all of them young under 24 danes who pushed Poland all the way last weekend in the under 24 world team cup , race in the UK.

I suspect Poland's aim eventually for the real golden nuggets like the Young Danes, Poles and Cairns/Rushen would be for them to just ride for their Polish club and a league in their own country or Swden in the Poles case. And I suspect the once a week routine of Denmark and Sweden appeals more than the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
