As you say does it not more a less even out if the Eastbourne results are left in with rolling averages, some going up or down, team changes etc. I just think the worst problem is no absolute clarification, if it was announced a month ago they're definitely left in (or out) everyone would know, although gives another topic to discuss I suppose.

Kennett was dreadful last year at No1 even before the Jordon debacle and just about held his own in the middle order, imagine Plymouth will be looking to get Andersen and MPT at 1and 5 asap.

I think NASA are having a go, but don't hold out any hope.

The Hoe and the Barbican are lovely if you've never been to Plymouth

He never seemed down on power from what I've seen , and was probably the most used guest last year ,certainly in the championship and how many times did he guest at Plymouth banging in high scores? Don't want to be a downer for Plymouth, but don't think Andersen will give the same return as Lawson would have done across a season.

Similar to the Eastbourne model this season , hopefully yours will be more successful!!!

Ok, probably nothing till 2023 I would imagine?

Only Brennen at the moment, but maybe Abblit ,Edward's will go the same way, maybe Vinnie Foord eventually, not necessarily Glasgow but other teams.

Numbers game as usual.

I know, all those promising youngsters developed by Eastie over the last few seasons lost now due to what seems one promoter, I'm I bitter?

IOW type fixtures?

I'd like to be as good on a bike as 2 awkward former world champions! Probably a lot down to riders of this type along with Harris generally not being great gaters and having to ride slightly raggadly. The likes of Greg Hancock normally were gate and go on really fast bikes, so could look smooth out in front on their own.

Speedway and road race riders should never do motocross, it never ends well !!

I'd prefer to remember one of the fastest riders I've ever seen, and he's battles with Nicki Pedersen at Arlington are still some of the most amazing races I've seen there. Would hate to see him have another serious injury.

All joking aside, it looks like a proper track with lovely wide bends, hope it's a success when up and running.

Taken from THJ's private helicopter? Or maybe a hot air balloon, not sure where the hot air would come from though, although.....

Imagine that's correct, a deal in principle, how many times before the start of the season have we seen a promoter not continue with a 'signed' rider because the points limit wasn't as high as thought or to be honest a better rider appear in the frame and have to juggle the team to accommodate him.

That was Eastbourne's supposed break even figure last season and we know what happened there, just hope the figure can be achieved.

Nicki Pedersen toys out the pram is part of the pantomime villain, played to the crowd who responded to him. Speedway over the last 20 years would have been a far duller place, love him or loath him. Apart from Wolves, how many teams he rode for would rather have not had him in the team, not many I imagine, certainly enjoyed the year's he was at Eastbourne, especially looking back now.

Track looks like it has the makings to be really good, not sure about the electric bikes though.

Combined with a definite 42 point limit held for at least 3 years, as you say crazy concept and probably too radical for the powers that be to implement.

Probably still quite a number of teams that pay on time, and would seem to be wanted by the fans. It was just an outsiders view that seemed to look like most fans didn't want him, if I'm wrong apologies, but just seemed to be a glut of negative posts about him.

Would think the chance of Adam Ellis coming back to Scunthorpe is nil I would have thought judging by the posts on here, why would you want to ride for a club with so many negative posts against you, justified or not.

I suppose with a home track advantage type team you keep the home fans happy seeing a winning team, especially back in the day with the bonus point , although a slightly different situation now, even so win all your home matches especially with an 8 + margin and playoffs virtually guaranteed , mind you I think MPT would be wanted at any track and team at the moment.

If it is, I hope for Plymouths sake he makes a far better go of it than last season at Eastie, he was dreadful even before the debacle with not paying riders, did improve slightly when back in the middle order near the end, but was way behind Lawson, Kerr and Brennan and tbh Newman.
