I take your point Phil. I also wholeheartedly agree that the loyalty shown by Lemmo is both unusual and to be appluaded. It can only help persuade riders to sign for the Aces as they will get a fair crack of the whip. Mulford got plenty of time. We're not Poole. I think you point about Klindt adapting to riding the NSS each week is right. Seem to remember Zak took a while to get dialed in. The only point I'd like to make is that there are, and have been, certain riders who are 'built' to ride our track. Bjerre, Ben Cook, Tungate, Batchelor (in earlier days), and having someone like Tungate to rely on in Heats 13 and 15 might be a way to go. I seem to remember it took quite a while for Brady to become as good around the NSS as he is now so giving riders time to work it out is sensible Whatever happens I'm sure we will compete and hopefully get in to the final. Remember it could be worse, I recall the season Morton and Gordon took over at the dog track and the the scamble to get seven guys who could ride a bike to become the Aces! How far we have come!

Dan confirmed his intention to sit out the UK this coming season in the Ipswich press release. It’s something we have know for some time and respected. The chance however to become the highest paid team man in British league history (not allowing for inflation) was too big a gift horse to pass up, so fair play to him. I posted that he would likely phone in his performance but that was a disservice to Dan who will try his best no matter who he has to ride for. My only hope is that Ipswich work their magic again and take a talented ex Aces reserve, knock a chunk off his average then drop him like a hot potato for someone else to reap the benefit. Christ, they even turned Jason into a seven point odd man before we returned him to a near nine point man. The advantage of riding for a prestigious club and having fun again.

Agree with the sentiment but at the end of the day they’re running a business. The Ford’s at Poole don’t agree with those sentiments, they’re ruthless and have no time for sentimentality in search for Trophies and keeping their club successful. That in turn keeps their turnstiles clicking and keeps their business profitable. If Belle Vue start getting tonked regularly and the crowd levels fall through the floor causing a huge monetary loss at the end of the season, who is footing the bill? Certainly not you or I. His business though and if he’s fully prepared to risk capital by staying loyal to riders then genuinely hats off to them. You can’t blame others for not doing the same though. Hopefully for him it will be. Will be far more lucrative for him for obvious reasons. -

I don’t think Spin King was upset to be fair the dick swinging is tiresome and if i was told confidential news about signings I wouldn’t be repeating ad nauseam like some people
