    Ahhh, RR2017 and his various aliases still trolling several threads, replying to himself and making up stories to seek attention, it’s pathetic really that you keep needing to draw attention to yourself to feel good. he’s a bit like thrush really. Just an irritating tw*t that refuses to go away.

    I would say its too early for Brennan to be in the top league He will do a fine job in the Championship - thats where he should be for his own development

    With rumours of unpaid riders that go through speedway, I’d say it’s the riders who take financial risks too.

    Don’t think much of yours if that’s the side. Reserves look very weak. Cook can only score 15 a meeting (without R/R or TS etc.).

    You can’t have it both ways, if clubs want loyalty in the manner the initial post is suggesting and first refusal a year later then riders need to be contracted and salaried, you can’t have riders being self employed and therefore if they’re injured don’t get paid etc. But then come the end of the season have absolutely no control over who they sign for and at the mercy of a club. If you want it to be this way then clubs need to sign riders onto multi year contracts with a weekly wage agreed and performance related bonuses on top of that more like in say football as an example. But there’s simply isn’t the money in the sport to do this! The original post seems to forget these guys are people trying to make a living the same as anyone else, they’re fortunate to be skilled enough at something as fun a racing motorbikes against there friends for a living but that doesn’t make them any different to anyone else and should be treated accordingly. imagine you’re subcontracted to build an extension for a bigger firm. Once the job is done you get offered to build an extension for someone else for more money than the firm you’ve done a contracted job for, would it be reasonable let alone legal for that firm to say you can’t go and build an extension for someone else because I want you to do this for less money, I’m not willing to employ you full time and pay you a salary all year round but if you don’t agree because you’ve just sub contracted on a job for me, you can’t work anywhere else in this country for 12 months!! Farcical idea isn’t it!

    I’m confused, you previously said Morris was signed when clearly he wasn’t. How do you know who the remaining 5 riders are. Yes we can assume Adam & Zach are 2 based on them being asset & the club like using our own. The other 3 is just guess work. Some of your previous guess work include Craig Cook as number 1. A swap deal for Lambert & Doyle...can you see why what you say doesn’t get taken seriously.

    Not by you it wasn't but then nobody believes anything you say anyway.

    Not strictly true. When Josh joined Birmingham he was there for the rest of the season, but I wouldn't argue that it's too soon for Championship. Hopefully he will get a team spot in the NL for 2019.

    Exactly the type of team that Eastbourne fans would want as well. Either Ellis or Kerr would be good additions, strong top 4 and a tail that can all improve plus would get the supporters backing which is huge for confidence and should serve up some good racing at Arlington.

    So all the rumours about Nick Morris were justified and he is surely a good signing coming in on an average below 7. The club are saying no more announcements for a few days while they weigh up their options. And the key will be whether to retain Thorsell or Schlein or both. I suspect both will have had interest from other clubs. If we were to sign both then Morris and Howarth would be in the team as second strings, and I doubt there would be many clubs that would have an all round team that strong. If Becker lives up to expectations at reserve then it looks very promising.

    I think of all the National League teams the step up to 2nd is less risky to Brum. I think they are more set up for the step up then Eastbourne(who I think will step up comfortably as well).

    They just don't get the team building bit up our way by all means try a new 2 pointer but at least have one strong reserve , good reserve/reserves win you meetings you only have to look at Workington last season to see how that works. As much as I enjoy watching Cook having him back just makes the team too top heavy we need to be more strength in depth with that silly points limit.

    Lets use your scenario Kyle Bickley starts at Worky last year Lets say he was on £40 per point Fast forward 5 years and in order for him not to miss a whole season somewhere along the line he still potentially has to ride for £40 per point even if he progresses to No1 status Bonkers
