If I was still running a speedway I would have kicked your arse for you. Fans can speculate with their wishes or what they know. Riders and especially a hired hand like a mechanic, should leave the business to the promoters who's business it is. I would remind other readers of theses post, that this poster is the same poster who published what was going on at Newcastle in October, when Alan Hedley was about to quit the Diamonds. That was internal business, his post wasn't banter, but more attempt to get himself known as a part privileged knob with some information but wanted to big up what he knew. in any business, you don't want an internal mouth blabbing to the forum, to make himself look big and informed. I said at the time it was a mechanic who was blabbing and it didn't take long for me to find out who it was. Beware Kevin and all at Redcar, some will love it, but he will do no good to your business.

Those questioning Wright just don’t understand Somerset. He’s part of the DNA of the club and terrific entertainment and shows 110% commitment week in week out. Welcome back Wrighty delighted your back !!!

It was mentioned on here weeks ago about Doyle signing and people said we couldn't afford him - I said at the time that wasn't the case and so it's proved. Welcome back to Jason Doyle to his spiritual home. Plenty to be optimistic about with this team, plenty of improvement in Lawson, Holder, Wilson Dean and Allen. Who knows about the Dane as I know nothing about him at all. Poole can keep Chris Holder. I'm led to believe he was on his way until Ford put a stop to that. We'll settle for Doyle though *insert smug face*

Every team is plop so far according to Shov. But no doubt when the meetings start in March Poole will be massive underdogs when hes making predictions.

taking this chance to wish every workington speedway fan/promotion/and the true supporters of wuckintun cornets a happy and not too merry Christmas over the next few days . stay safe and if poss , a wee bit sober .this goes out to ALL fans who post on this site . without you , speedway would not exist . really looking forward to having a season of entertainment @ wucky. we are not too far off the finished product , team wise . special mention to laura , tony and all those people who give up their days to run Worlington speedway in cumbria .almost forgot steve whitehead, who is prob worth more than a mention ! so , not too far away till start time and i hope it gives us the entertainment it can and does on a regular bases . good luck to all riders @ workington for the coming season . im all a quiver . think its toilet time !

Good to see Doyley still in British speedway.

But if you are a Redcar fan or at least someone with a connection, why would you take pleasure in winding up fans with deliberate false statements - stating that JBA would not be returning was a lie - why say anything? All you have done is make Redcar fans question JBA because if he can appoint such a cretin as his mechanic, you have to worry about him.

Well done Somerset! Very glad that Doyle will still be riding in the UK after winning his world title.

I think you answed your own question....they don't have the right mentality to run a bath..let alone a sport.

How old is young??? Lawson will be 32 by season start and Wright 29.

It must be Doyle why leave so many points unused if it isn't him.

Fair enough. How much is Ford offering???

I agree Steve A great British classic, full of characters, run for years (something like 286 episodes) and was recognised as a great success.

I'd have read 'rules changing every other week' as just a saying rather than taking it literally, either way it really can't be worth making such a bloody fuss about!!

I will tell you now, we will win the league again. Doubt us at your perial.

it wasn't banter though - he claimed authority for a statement which he knew to be false. He could have caused problems - they may have appeared available to other promoters for example. If i was promoter or manager he'd be in trouble. Needs to keep it shut if he's in a trusted position. Well the management know he's not trustworthy now. Yes fans come on here and speculate - they do not claim authority and thats the difference

Attention seeker alert .

That's very kind, thank you. I'm just trying to pass on what I've learned over the years. I want so much for this wonderful sport to recover and thrive.

All doom and gloom with you isn't it.I'm sure Buster has it all in hand and we will have a good number 1.

THAT old chestnut again ... how can you sell something (rider) you don't own?

If wright is 2nd heatleader this team will struggle going to take some beatings away from home,looks mpre like a championship team if that team comes off.

I would have Bailey Ayres Jenkins over this 3.

I remember seeing 3 Norwegians in the wasps colours ed strangleland, einar egedius & reidar eide. Ed was a entertaining rider from my memory, einar I think married a Newport girl but it was reidar who I remember most fondly he was in I believe the best team Newport ever had in 1975 he also rode in 73 & 74. One race inparticurlrly recall is a golden helmet race against ole Olsen I think in 73 where he brought the house down at Somerton park by blasting by ole to lift the helmet, great days.

No doubt you thought that when Matt Marson was totally illegally graded on a 5.00 average. Along with the Roynon and Hurry reduction decision, I'd say by the end of the season (if not long before that) he was thoroughly discredited and the NL is well rid of him.

Not sure what the big secret is, unless of course the FIM/BSI haven't actually worked out what the format is going to be.
