    • What about Mitch McDiarmid?
    • The major problem at the moment is that there aren't sufficient riders to track a 7th competitive team at Premiership level certainly some form of rider control would be required. There are question marks over the viability of any return for the Eagles without factoring in a Birmingham style team
    • In a word, yes. My belief is BSPL was trying to force Robert to ride in UK and, until ACU stepped in, after intervention from Robert, SCB agreed. The decision was then quietly reversed….until today’s disingenuous press release which is trying to pretend that the powers that be are making an exemption for Robert. 
    • If true, it's a really poor side and will show that Garry has forgotten what a winning side looks like.  Year after year we see the teams that make the playoffs or go onto win the league find a way to improve their overall team average from the start of the season to the end. Poole put over 5 points on their team average last season, Scunny over 3 points. What a shock they made the final. In that team you have riders with massively inflated averages due to home form (Nicholls and Barker especially) and regression. We need improvers, I appreciate that's hard to come by. Love Scotty and Barker is great at Plymouth but it's time to freshen it up. Batchelor is a shrewd move as he rides Plymouth well and Thompson is slowly getting better. Away from that I'd leave the rest. If we could get Thomsen at reserve then I'd be inclined to give him a shot but not in the main body. I don't know enough about Foord but he's been around a while and still on a 3.38 average tells me he's unlikely to all of a sudden improve massively. I'd quite like us to take a look at a couple of lads who Oxford won't be having back in Wood and McDiarmid. I think both have improvement in their starting averages and have showed flashes at Plymouth to show they could dial in.       
    • Anyway now we have waded through the personal swipes and heard why some folk think it’s a waste of time,to those attending I look forward to seeing you on what will be a happy fun day with fellow speedway folk 
    • More?? How many managerial medals does he currently have to add to? If he wants to feel a winners medal he can have one of Marks. He can’t close the drawer containing all his Aces & Aussie medals. 😄
