that will be a bit tough on ty when he qualifies for the end of season CLRC

as though he had been riding at sheffield every week for the last ten years, defo worth a max.

thanks for that,never seen about the rethink over the change, but why change it when the season has already started and some matches have already been affected by it,not to mention riders losing income too.

and what about the new rule of riders staying astride their machines whilst gardening,does that not apply in this competition? in one race there was 2 riders off their machines gardening(and one wasnt lasse)

apart from wilko.morris and wethers, wilko always good for a few points at sheffield, morris looked good apart from the one race when he didnt make the start,very quick from the tapes in his other 3,wethers flew out of the start twice but probably needs racetime to regain his sharpness, you will struggle big time on the road with this team im afraid, lindgren has to be the worst number one this season.

i will see if my dads up for it.

so hard to predict how they will finish, every team looks about equal to me with no clear favourite, you could make a case for each team and everyone is going to need that trump card to step upto the plate,as stated above there is one guy in every team sometimes two, that if they make a breakthrough,then it could propel their team to glory come the end of the season, so sitting on the fence with this one.

here goes- 1.ipswich 2.glasgow 3.sheffield 4.scunny 5.edinburgh 6.workington 7.lakeside 8.redcar 9.peterborough 10.newcastle 11.berwick

will be a good battle between the tigers and the scorps to finish in the play off places,will tip glasgow and the witches to join them in there.

best 2 reserves in the league, i would take those 2 for those positions,but how long will they be at reserve? you guys could be a good outside bet to make the top 4.

go same as last year,just swap bjerre for kasprzak and the title is yours.

a top 4 looking side there,well done the lions promotion.

thats another title challenging team that we have, thats us,ippo,glasgow and scunny all looking strong,lets hope we can keep injury free and we should be up there challenging and james shanes to keep the top 5 on their toes. thankyou mr bates.

thats a good looking side the rebels have put together,top 4 material there,well done for getting doyley back in britain.

we could have joe lawlor instead then, as he is a sheffield asset, would rob want to pay a loan fee for a number 7.

you will be throwing the name of rod haynes into the hat next.

i reckon the laughing emoji might give it away as a prank by someone.

surprised weve managed to get shanes, but excited about the prospect of seeing him in a tigers racing suit, shaping up nicely again, i reckon its going to be kyle and todd as the last 2, i would take todd over jan due to jans average was from the reserve berth where as todds was from the team. welcome james. sorry to see georgie not kept on as looked to have it in him to make the grade,just a pity he did all the driving himself and had to rely on steadys dad as is mechanic when up here.surely his contributions wont be wasted in the bates` memory bank.

forget about those,what about kai huckenbeck

is there any need for a strong number 6 now? due to the new tac sub rules both reserves will only need to have a minimum of 3 rides each if they are about the 6 point behind rule in a meeting, then their rides can be taken by inform riders in the 1-5 of the team,as im old enough to remember the old tac sub rule i think this could be an advantage to go for a strong top 5,with reserves capable of averaging around 2.5 to 3.5. lets not forget the strong number 6 should be going out and bombing heat 2,but then is up against an opponent heat leader in his other 3 rides,as well as his own heat leader,i cant see many strong number 6`s maintaining their starting average at the seasons end. p.s. we could see the return of the 21 point maximum if operating r/r.

ive a feeling this wont be too far off the mark, and be happy to go with this line up.

so with lasse signing,which of the josh`s aint returning? would love to see us sign nathan greaves as number 6.

so we are stopping an experienced brit who could pass on sound good advice to youngsters from doubling up,but allowing aussies with a higher average than him to double up,when are we going to try and put the GREAT back into britain.

yes a bit naughty from scotty, but you need a bit of luck along the way to win titles,but its not going to change the history book now though.

thats ippo and scunny setting the marker with 2 strong looking sides,its upto the rest of us to match you now. that 7 should be good enough to get in top 4 for you witches
