Speedway may be a numbers game when putting sides together but this starting 7 certainly won’t be the finishing 7 IMHO. Harris is on an inflated average that sees him ride at #1 - a position he has never really excelled at and there are a few riders that to find some consistency - Lawson, King (returning from injury), Bellego and Heeps (who had a very poor season at Wolves). I can see this team dropping about 2-3 points collectively in the first month.

The problem is that you need to use it or run the risk of losing it - that's the standard line. It is actions like this that drive more fans away from a sport that is "dying on its @rse". So rather than encourage new fans they p!ss off existing fans - not a great business model

That would be a stupid thing for Harris to do - given the only places left are all Buster's clubs! I'm sure he would rather be riding and earning than watching - assuming the terms are right.

Peterborough were looking like the team to beat and really sorry to read that they have released Harris. I wonder who they will bring in to replace him that is cheaper than him on a similar average? Nicholls to Peterborough and Harris to Ipswich? Or is that two (heat leader) Brits on the sidelines when the season starts?

Probably same reason as Nicholls

Never a good idea to let attention seeking trolls start threads. Such a childish thing to do

I’m pretty sure that was B.A. Robertson - showing my age - lol

Thanks for clarifying - maybe one of the rules they have changed?

Why? Sheffield now run on a Sunday afternoon as they are not a PL club

NBJ - 2 points on his average?? Are you having a giraffe?

There is nothing wrong with me but if you go about calling people names and insulting them rather then debate then you have already lost the argument

Not that you are biased! What team has signed Lidsey? #enuffsaid

I think the same reason as Thorsell and Kurtz - riding at number 1 puts a lot of pressure on a rider and they just weren’t ready. Plus, he seemed to no longer like the Swindon track and that affected his confidence. I am still surprised that Rosco let him go on that bargain average and I am sure Wolves will benefit from signing him.

Eastbourne are in the CL next season aren’t they?

One name - Jason Doyle! Proves anything is possible - eventually - with the right attitude, training and dedication.
