Is he? I didn't know he had retired all together, I thought he just gave up UK racing for now... I think Davey Watt would be a solid number 3 at our level... Or would have been if he wasn't retired... Also I think Rene Bach, would be a good signing, and popular among most of the fans... I don't care if he isn't the 9 point rider he once was, as long as we get the occasional entertaining race out of him, he'll be exciting to watch, and now that he's had a tour of most of the CL tracks, as home and away riders... I think he'd be more reliable than most... It's not a 'fetishism' just a suggestion We need someone instead of R/R I assume they're 'before my time' old riders that I haven't heard of because you are exaggerating me wanting Rene back

Would love to see Robson come in... But names like Davey Watt (I know he's had a spell at Newcastle, but that was yeeears ago) and Nicklas Porsing would be nice too Davey Watt - 6.48 Nicklas Porsing - 5.63 I'd also love to see Rene Bach, but there'd have to be more changes... And I don't want to see anyone else leave Unless... Rene for Rose and Carr for Morris would fit, but that would make us extremely weak and I don't think I'd want that

I have two questions... Who is Andrew Palmer? And Who is Matt Marson? I was looking through the results over the past few weeks and I noticed these two names... I generally try to keep as up to date as I can with youth speedway and stuff... with what little information there is... But I have never even heard of these two... Thanks for any information...

Glad to hear that there is so much young talent coming through

What? Why? Yes, I noticed that it dropped too, it's a shame... I don't think we'll be seeing October speedway this year

How do they chose who rides for who and what limit the teams are? What are the team building rules in each league? I've tried looking around and I can't find anything... Are there averages for each rider in these leagues? And if so, where can I find them, thanks...

Not saying for Matt Marson, but there are riders, Mitchell Davey is the first that springs to mind, how long has he ridden as an Australian for? Now all of a sudden he's British and could ride in the NL? I understand Aussie's getting passports, but shouldn't British born riders get the nod first? If the BSPA goes by their word... Although... This is a bit hypocritical coming from me xD

Presumably, I thought only Brits were allowed in, except BWD, Bradley Andrews...Etc, etc... Although, I personally don't see what's wrong with letting youngsters from Australia and USA etc come in, they should stick by their word... Thanks for the information anyway

But it's not the Lakeside management's (the restaurant owner's) fault that the BSPA can't run speedway

Had a look at that post, seems a shame, Gino seemed to do really well for Ipswich a few years back, hope he gets himself sorted out soon, even if it's next year As much as I like Morris, and he's been one of my favorite riders this year, I'd say Pavlova in for him, think Victor would be better for the team tbh, he's more of a solid 1-5 rider... In fact, I'd go as far to say as Morris has been my second favourite rider this year, after Hopwood Nicklas Porsing and Rohan Tungate, (if his current PL average of 4.90 would be converted) would be decent shouts too...

I know I was just being an ass suggesting him tbh

How about Ashley for Pavlova? Ashley has been impressive so far this year, but I still feel he is JUST short of being a strong 1-5 rider... Would be harsh to chop him, but maybe it would be a good idea for the team, then we could go... 1. Robert Lambert 9.65 2. Victor Palovaara 5.81/Gino Manzares 6.02/Stuart Robson ?.?? - Ashley Morris 6.15 Out 3. Lewis Rose 6.58 4. Ludvig LIndgren 6.89 5. Steve Worrall 8.81 6. Ben Hopwood 2.55 7. Alfie Bowtell 2.00 Or, if the averages fit, I'm not 100% of the rules, we could bring Robson in on his converted PL to CL average for Ashley... Have Robbo or Lewis or Ludvig in any order for the 2, 3 and 4 race jackets... Was also thinking about Dimitri Berge, but he's JUST got too high of an average to come in for Ashley, Lewis or Ludvig (before anyone suggests) Edit: Just an afterthought... Since he's "looking for a place in the uk" according to Kelvin and Nigel during the world cup... Gino Manzares only has a 6.02 average..... He looked pretty impressive in the world cup imo, especially at King's Lynn, and he's probably used to the tight bends over in America And now to be completely controversial, and cause chaos... Steve Boxall has a 6.15 average..... Just seen on another thread that Robson is a 6.29, so forget what I said about him

Thank you all for all the interesting information Much appreciated

Thanks for the information So, what's stopping a Polish team going for Doyle, Woffinden, Dudek, Sayfutdinov, Janowski and the best u-21 riders (for example) other than money and rider loyalty? Won't that mean the teams with the most money will win? Like in football... How come the Swedish averages are between 0.5 and 1 (so it seems) how is that worked out? And is there a list of all the averages for the Swedish leagues somewhere? I like how Denmark do it Sorry for all the questions I just can't find anything anywhere...

For some maybe, but for others, he takes away from the entertainment, but I guess it's just personal opinion

Just shove out all the rubbish and believe what makes me happy to hear Haha

Just seen this now

Probably would, but then again, I'd rather not listen to the sh!t he has to say... No offence to him but he's a pain in the ass... I'd rather find out myself, hence why I ask here Well, generally he's the one who screams out their names before every race, so maybe you'd heard it from him? I dunno... Yep, a bit harsh, I think Scunthorpe's problems run deeper than Wilkinson... So he's not all to blame, plus he's ridden at Scunthorpe for years, a bit disrespectful just to throw him away like that...

I never knew he'd been called that, I generally switch off when Roy starts talking..... Maybe she had a cuppa...

I see, well according to Wikipedia, the source of everything 100% correct, they at least come out on the same day, poor woman didn't have to wait over 24 hours for super Stevie... I've always liked American riders, so I'd love to see Gino in the CL, probably wouldn't like to see him for Scunthorpe but oh well... I'd love to see more of the Americans over here, but they're probably not good enough yet for the CL and they're not allowed to ride in the NL, there should be an "intercontinental league" like the 4 team tournaments that are going on at Kent for example... Then Luke Becker, Dillon Ruml etc... can ride over here on a more regular basis... Along with aussies like Jaimon Lindsey and Brody Eves and Scandinavians like Glenn Moi..... I think yous get my point Not to mention the Spiller brothers... It might be expensive to set up an ENTIRE league, so why not let the Americans put in a team in the MDL/SDL for example, they let the Welsh in with Carmarthen

Which makes Adam Ellis a 5.00 rider, still a massive bargain imo, an international on a 5.00 Haha Didn't even know that was a meeting lol, but well done to all involved, especially Connor and Alfie He did really well last Sunday, if he can ride Brough like that every week, he'll do great!! What is his style? Does he like tight tracks and hate big tracks? Slow and steady (a bit like Ben Hopwood) or just quick around everywhere?

Younger? How the bloody hell do you know that?

Thanks for the information Damn BSPA!!

A question... Adam Ellis' new PL average (as of 10/07/2017) is going to be 4.17... He started the year on a 7.64 average... If, for example and this is purely just an example, we dropped Ashley and brought in Adam Ellis, would his average for our league be 4.17 or 7.64 (which wouldn't fit) The two leagues shared averages at the beginning of the year, would this now be the case for the rest of the season? And season's to come? This is just examples because I think I'd prefer Ashley over Adam anyway, but it's just a rule I'm curious about how the averages for the PL and CL work... Adam Ellis would be a bargain on a 4.17 average!!!

It was really good to stay behind and watch as this was one of the first ones I was able to watch, I hope the injured riders recover (Jack Wright and Dale Pate), unfortunately I had to leave after the second 125 race though as I had a plane to catch What happened in the last 500 race? 3-0 is a strange result
