Post something about Rye House 2016 then.

And Scunny are changing to Sunday next season.

Jeez. Uncle Len is well off out of it.

The third Krankie speaks.

He would miss too many meetings.

Rich Rich has signed for Belle Vue so I would expect that to rule him out of Monarchs contention given the number of meetings he would miss. And of course if Belle Vue move to a Friday.......................!!

Still need to fit in another heat leader.

I'm shaking, really shaking in my boots.

I'll bite, baldyman. Not the worst or most obnoxious team around. So I might go along to Foxhole a few more times rather than making the trek to the Showground. Pity about Risager - boring with a capital B. A bit like Morris last season. But Covatti is good entertainment. And Sarjeant will be fun to watch. Not convinced about the reserves though. Key will be how Kerr has recovered. Glad Manzares, Heeps, Tungate have all gone.

Yay - I can't wear the stripes!! Though I am lacking the t-shirt or jacket. Result!!

As SCB has said re Castagna at Ippo.................. I agree - Showground not a great track for him - yet. Mind you Grondal wasn't much cop at Armadale - 6. Emil Grondal 1¹,1¹,0 = 2+2 but 6. Max Clegg 3,1,0,2¹ = 6+1

Not deluded at all. I would certainly expect Erik to add 1 to 1.5 points on his average. He was world long track champion last year so has a pedigree. He has now been to all the tracks. And he was making heat 14 his own home and away last season. Max was going well at the end of last season. He too has seen all the tracks. But most significantly he will be riding against wobblers (including his reserve partner) in 2 or 3 races which he wasn't last season. So I would expect an increase of 2 points at least.

We weren't talking about their pay scales though. Any way - show us your medals!

That's easy though - they don't score any points.

Plus the £150 a point and £75 a start.

Worth every penny.

You are a giggle some times Gav. Dunno who Sedgeman is, but I'm sure Erik will go a decent way to filling the gap left by Justin. Between him and Max Clegg you are looking at 3 to 4 points improvement on their averages. But you carry on believing we'll struggle Gav - it'll help you dull the pain of how many trophyless years?

Sedgy would be at number 1 after the first set of revised averages.

Erik's back - thank heavens!!

C'mon I was damning Ippo with faint praise! But yes Ippo's named team would hammer Edinburgh's named team.

Not the worst team around.

Moneybags Ippo then?!!

That's a bit disingenuous Dekks. He earned his points on the track. Cookie wasn't protecting his back all the time. He was having to beat heat leaders as well as just second strings. He does have a few tracks that seem to faze him but not many.

I don't disagree Paulco. It's disappointing if that really is the case. He's been fantastic for us the past 2 seasons.
