Very little doubt in my mind Will Cairns can step into that second heat leader slot next season. He’s already developed at a ridiculous rate. He’s young and he’ll make mistakes, but he’s a big heat rider. His heat eight win against Redcar in the BSN final laid down a marker and set the tone for the rest of the meeting. Getting inside Mulford’s head at the tapes before that heat and although it was cheating, warming his tyres at Scunthorpe; those are dark arts of the sport Nicki Pedersen would be proud of. And he’s only 17! I just wish he’d stop using the word “super” in interviews, like a teenage America girl. “Super excited”.

You can only think that he would have just taken out another federation's licence and that maybe that would have had an impact on his SON eligibility...??? Dan Bewley in his statement upon signing for Ipswich said he initially wasnt going to ride over here, hence his comments about the initial ruling were very critical of it.. Obviously it wasnt fit for purpose... Unusual that, isn't it?... 

The problem is, a 3-something average will be a number 2, not reserve. The reserves will be two 2-pointers. The team is too top heavy for my liking, but it'll certainly be fun at Sandy Lane this year. 

This must be an AI mistake - surely the beer is BITTER 😉

If the aim was to get one rider back in to British Speedway then I don’t understand the point of it. As good a rider as he is, who would seriously want to sign a rider that didn’t really want to be here and was effectively forced to? Glad this nonsense has been put to bed. He’ll come back if he wants to. 

Thank you for that much valued input
