I'll chip in.

With ice & slice or just neck it out of the bottle?

Heavens above. I thought he had given up Poland to ride for your lot?

Scary - I've agreed with and Liked the last 3 or 4 of George's posts. Time for a lie down. Or another G&T.

Fair enough - good spot. Somerset have so many newcomers this season I lost track of which was the intended 3 pointer.

You make it up as you go along.

Can't think George!! But I hope you appreciate him! And I think Lee Payne might be the other one!! And then there's the other two that started riding in 2009 and 2010 respectively. And one of their new teams was doing a fair bit of creativity last season. And of course BWD was born in New Zealand. Buy hey ho - you only want blood because it's us! I also heard a wee rumour that because Mitch has missed the last couple of seasons through injury he is entitled to a reduction in the 3.0 starting average. Only a rumour you understand!! That post was so original and good that you had to Like it yourself!! Wowser.

Comment? (That's French by the way.)

So you've been to all his gigs? He must be well impressed. Do you sit beside him at porkheid too?

It's a laugh - lighten up!!

It was a different way of team building. So many "experts" have long stated that a top quality is essential to win the league. But we won in 2014 with a team that had pretty poor reserves by the end of the season. So we tried it again in 2015 with a pair of very inexperienced youngsters. Neither rider was expected to score many but the hope/expectation was that they would learn enough to kick on this season. And they would have done I'm sure ....................

Silly me. I thought this was going to be a forum for fans of the BSPA. An elite little group.

Seem to be a lot of posters quaking in their boots at the thought of their team having to face mighty mitch. Good stuff.

Think it's been common knowledge for months. The fact is we embraced the concept last season in duplicate and Rob has been shafted as a result. And yes I would rather have seen Rob get the team place ahead of Mitchell this season.

Not petty at all. Kind. He's nowhere near ready for PL. But you know better.

I like Mitchell and wish him every success, though I think with his injury record maybe he should have stayed retired. But all this crap about it not being in the best interests of British speedway. Give it a break. We did that last season and brought in 2 3-pointers in Rob and Max. And we stuck with them the whole season. And then what? Well the best interests were to be served by bringing in such a stupid ill-thought out rule that young Rob is now out of a team spot. I am so fed up with these best interests.

If it's to ensure the local punters turn up then surely they should be in the qualifying on the Saturday? That would mean panther riders involved on both days one way or another. By seeding them, they will only ride on the Sunday. But I don't believe in seeding at all.

Can't see him being top 3 myself or even that close. All tracks are going to be new to him. One meeting. There are 30-40 meetings in the season.

Panthers website has Porsing listed as 6.58. He finished last season on 4.7 so they are using a 1.4 multiplier. Dunno what the real multiplier should be.

Oystercard will still start at number 1. I would imagine NBJ would be the most likely number 1 as the season progresses.

Yous play us on 3rd April. - league cup.

So it's league cup away at slashfield on 3rd April. After our season opener on 1st April. It's no joke.

I suppose they'll need 9 in the team to win anything. Agreed. He's not that good.

Monarchs need a 3 pointer. They are pushing for a rule change that over 45s come in on a 3.

Rider to be announced tomorrow morning.
