I wish the new owner well but if i had a pound everytime someone says they have fresh ideas i could sail the world, as good old "ian" used to say its still four bikes turning left at the end of the straight.if he is as strong in charge as his dad was on the track he could do well i will be going when work allows .

Jolly good, all positive, but .... err ...... not a single mention of a rider!

Or are they just going to sign the last seven standing?

 

What about Doc, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey, Bashful, and Grumpy,  joking aside I am glad your future is secure, look forward to our Derbies continuing

Given the new owners business I reckon there will definitely be a meat draw at the interval.

great news and good luck to new owner

pleased George is still involved - could be still a tricky season given rider availability ... but at least we are running

I would like to thank Martin Philips for his support over the last 2 years ... pity things didn't work out better

Who do people think our number 1 will be? Looking at the rest of the teams quite a few can’t fit another heat leader in. Just a few I could think of off the top of my head, Vissing, MPT, Covatti and two long shots Hans Andersen or David Bellego, 

1) D Bellego 9.28 (not sure if he’ll get a PL spot so could be a decent shout although don’t think his brough Park form is great)

2) M Clegg 5.05

3) M Wethers 6.92

4) L Bjerre 5.87

5) N Covatti 7.82

6) some 2.00

7) Sarjeant 3.90

I know I’ll probably get shot down for mentioning Bjerre but surely he can’t be as bad as he was last season even if his attitude does stink you need riders who can improve there averages. 

With that team you’d always have a strong reserve and could probably make changes once Bellego’s average drops.

Anyway that’s just a few random riders I’ve thrown together I’m just really happy speedway at brough is carrying on into next season and I’ve got something to do again on Sunday nights win win!
