    It was said that final spot would be from a rider who looks well at practice sessions so with what's remaining points it could be open to lots who have been mentioned and some who haven't. Sam woods,Connor king, Kieran Douglas , Billy Budd , Sam Wolley, Alex Goldsbrough, Sheldon Davies, the list goes on

    Kieran Douglas has been riding a long time now and has absolutely no improvement in him whatsoever, he can make a gate then rides at half throttle !

    If Matty Wethers signs for Workington I will be over many times next year that's for sure. Already excited to see Antti and Tate but watching Matty again will make me very happy. Workington do need a calm, level head in the pits...

    Edit: Matty doesn't fit so either you're wrong or I'm wrong with who MW is...

    Matty will surely get a reduction for missing a season or is it 2 with Newcastle’s results being wiped off in 2022

    Zmarzlik, Laguta, Vaculik, Lindgren and the Pawlicki brothers.

    Wonder which 2 will sign for Birmingham.

    Can’t see it being Zmarzlik, Laguta, Vaculik or Lindgren with other commitments but I’d love to be proved wrong

    That is complete twaddle, we got good crowds, it is just cheaper to run a Championship team.

    I agree,Poole get good crowds and have good sponsors. The Fords are good business people. Run in the Premier League and break even or run in the Championship and make a profit ! It’s not rocket science.

    Would’ve been great if he only rode 3 meetings all season.
    What about the other 20 when he didn’t show up? Zero consistency, shouldn’t be in the team. 

    The big difference with Jye’s end of season upturn in form was I believe down to a change of engine tuner. On his day, he has and can beat anyone around Shielfield. And I’m fairly sure the Stewart Dickson presence will keep him under no illusion as to his future if he doesn’t perform.

    A not entirely unrelated question - as the season progresses, do any team changes, other than like for like, have to build back to 38 points or does the team building average revert to 42? Or has that already been discussed and I’ve missed it?

    Build back to 38 unless replacing a rider with the same or lesser average

    We never saw the best of Starkey when he rode for us previously. Whenever he got some momentum going he was injured again though frustratingly none of the crashes were his fault. He never seems to have gotten over that shocker of a crash in the British Final, also not his fault.

    On a 4 he should be fine though even he will know GLA won't tolerate poor prep or equipment. He will hold his own at that level though perhaps we need more realistic expectations that he may not be as good as before.

    Starke has ridden for Newcastle, Oxford, Plymouth and Birmingham in the recent past and has not shown the form to show he may improve
