Most teams would fit in the Prem, as they are mainly the same riders, with, maybe, slightly different averages!! No doubt whoever the 1-7 are, along with a track that always produces good racing, together it should get people to Redcar for every meeting and that's all you can ask for. If they win a trophy or two along the way, that's a bonus.6 points

For those Glasgow fans who aren't impressed with Harris, can we do a swap for Rory Schlein.6 points

I am very disappointed Danny won't be back next season and it isn't about the numbers game, they obviously prefer other riders,, probably Steve Worrall, I would prefer Danny king every day of the week.4 points

As ever it's all cloak and dagger How hard is it to be fully upfront with the Rising Star criteria and a full list of who qualifies? Similar applies to a full list of team building averages for EVERY rider. There is no reason it shouldn't be there plain as day for all to see3 points

Can’t work out your dislike for our Captain that’s all , I admire any rider that cocks his leg over on a bike for my entertainment3 points

Glasgow race Friday`s mostly, he has Glasgow airport close by with Edinburgh not a million miles away, even Manchester at a stretch. So, all good links to where he needs to be for Longtrack GP` s and the like.3 points

I have been a Bandits season ticket holder for 13 years but I will not be renewing this coming year. As there is no concession(I am 68 y-o) & have a round trip of 200 miles I do not think I will attend at all.2 points

If pensioners are well off it is because they did not have a feeling of entitlement only bought things when they could afford them and lived within their means2 points

I`ve had a season pass for the last five season, including the one cancelled by Covid, its very very unlikely I will be getting one for next season. I will attend the first meeting or two then see how things are going. £20 to watch Championship speedway is way way over the top IMO.2 points

Better riders than Lambert about, but he is liked by the "Inner circle gang", so he stays on." Firm fan fave" , yeah right.2 points

I would add to this, a rider who moves club's and away average is higher than his home average was in the previous season, plus to a lesser extent, a rider who rode as a heat leader in the previous season but you sign for a second string spot.2 points

Its a classic six of one situation....without the movement of riders into, through and onwards from the NDL it becomes very stale. That said lower points limits creates artificially increased averages that can see riders frozen out. Whatever the limit it would be nice if it was consistent year on year (or at least a shown formula or team limit vs teams in the league).2 points

Heat 1 also has the added advantage that there is rarely a question mark over where on the track to ride. If you make a start and hug the kerb, it's not often you'll get passed. Obviously the No 1s have an outside gate, but if you ride at 5 and are out in heat 4, the track can be starting to develop by then where there can be more than one line. Truth is some riders like going out in heat 1 to set the tone, some really do not.2 points

Positives He's a genuine CL Heat Leader He'll turn up every week when fit and give 100% He's not too long in the tooth as to be likely to lose form suddenly The key will be who will be the other heat leader along with Sedgeman.2 points

Morris is a good, solid signing and consistent at nearly all tracks. I'm not sure he's exciting enough to put extra bums on seats so Brum will need deep pockets again this season I feel2 points

In a GP there are 5 heats on a fresh track: 1,5,9,13,17. Riders nos. 2-16 each appear in one of them, but rider no 1 is in all five. But I agree with your initial point2 points

As expected signing and undoes a lot of the good work gone before it, if they do finish with MPT, Allen and Douglas will be a good side but could of been better2 points

I'm not sure that is the reason. For a start, Mildenhall has had stock car racing for years. More importantly, the stock cars do not run every week (usually once a fortnight) and the speedway certainly used to attempt to run on the Sundays when there had not been racing the previous night, thus giving ample time for track preparation ((i have seen the track on a Sunday morning after a Saturday stocks meeting and it looks like there has been a bombing raid). To be fair, I haven't been for a while but there did seem to be an issue with the track last season at least, with a number of meetings subject to multiple accidents and lengthy delays. Whatever the case, I really hope this can be pulled round. I have a lot of happy memories of Mildenhall, some good friends there and you won't get a more devoted speedway fan than Phil Kirk.2 points

Always expected Brennan back. Should be looking to up his average in a weaker league, especially if riding at no 3.2 points

There is a reason, they don't want us to know as they haven't all got their teams sorted yet so adjustments to the list may look amateurish (sorry, had to laugh at the last bit whilst typing)2 points

I dont dislike him but Scunthorpe should be looking for better if they have ambitions of winning the league, just because i think that doesnt mean i dislike him!! Also and again they dont ride for our entertainment.. they ride because they make a decent living from it1 point

So am i,thought he was an excellent captain and a very decent bloke not that Steve Worrall isn't but must be a reason Danny was let go as they are both as good as each other on the track and probably on the same money.Maybe money was the deciding factor we'll never know or maybe some scribes on here who seem to be well informed,someone can't remember who said Danny was going to I think Redcar a few pages ago or then Birmingham will give us the answer still rest assured the Ford's will put together a top team.1 point

Not to be pedantic but we have 1 actually. But what has trophies got to do with how professionally the clubs run? No doubt Poole are very successful but both are up there with best run in the country imo.1 point
