Balls in a sack..?

Point taken, probably cashed in on London property prices? To be honest expect you're glad you did move out now?

Being an Eastie fan the trick track jibe always creates a response and H knows it.

Blame land and property value, don't think being a Jonah has anything to do with it you Jonah

He's what a rising star should be and maybe one of the weaker ones on paper/grade, but think he will have a good season and hopefully sensational. If he does go back to BV the following year at least Peterborough will have had a promising youngster who's had a sensational season I suppose.

Good move for BV and Tom, he's a great lad and a perfect marry up of BV and Eastbourne with the tracks being so different which should be great for his progression.

If you mean 1 and 5 maybe, although that's debatable, if you mean 1 to 5 they'll be no where near the strongest in the Championship yet alone the Premiership.

Both too high really, but well done to the promotion for creating such interest if it all goes ahead. Hope it works out ok financially aswell.

Perhaps been searching for his ring?

How very dare you.

Suppose I really meant injury free, certainly Scott looks fitter than ever. Joe Screen was a legend at Eastie especially before his bad leg break, but his idea of being fit I think was eating 1 pie instead of 2.

Hair's too long.

Think the only barrier is keeping fit, their experience helps keep them out of trouble normally, but at their age the last thing you want is a wild more inexperienced rider clattering into you, bodies don't bounce aswell at 40 than at 18/20. Having said that still be good to see them at Arlington hopefully this year, Bjarne Pedersen and especially Scott have great race craft there.

If he did come , be a really weak bottom end to the team with the points used on him and Bjarne.

Has it ever really made any difference? Virtually every meeting I've been to normally 3 of the 4 programmed reserve rides have been switched to suit the meeting .

Indeed, but my brain hurts now!!

I think the only 'loophole' is Eastie committed to their own rising star program over the last 4/5 years and no matter what rules there were last season or this Brennen and Edwards were guaranteed a team place, and to a degree Kemp. As there was never a chance of Edwards riding Premiership this season, and probably next as well, opted out of the latest program, maybe the same with Bowtell etc, unlike Palin,Brennen, Kemp etc who want to go all the way and need a 'rising star's grade for the Premiership. Assume if you opt out of the Championship star rating, you're out of the Premiership one as well?

I imagine both Rowe and Kemp will be at Ipswich, so Brennen the most likely and to be honest all three are capable of beating each other and think Brennen will be best at Monmore of the 3. As regards their future potential, who knows at the moment, how many times have we seen similar very good youngsters go in very different directions career wise, always think back to Tai and Lewis Bridger being very similar at 17/18, and we know where that went.

Don't try saying that to Tai , loved the Wolves track, hated it at Arlington, remember a half time interview and in his usual family friendly way on the mike said "I fu****g hate the place" and that was before he had his hand injury there. Anyway Tom would be great for you at No7.

Basically a KO Cup then after a seasons practice?

Playoffs with even 12 teams always seemed wrong, ( but we've had that argument for 19 years) but tv and finances made it the norm, and can't think it'll be any different this season even with only 6 teams.

Just got to hope for a dry summer!

Although past his prime, one thing you know with Bjarne he has always been reliable when he rode in the uk, with a professional set up and normally top class machinery, never been a mixer like the main Pedersen, but if he's lost little of his speed was hard to pass, even the couple of seasons he was at Eastbourne. I'll say it before anyone else does, I know it's hard to pass anyway at Arlington, but he was the same only better in his Poole days.

Don't think any offer would improve what he has at Eastbourne, not just financial but being part of a 'team' that'll be built around him Brennen hopefully Kemp for years to come.

Won't happen, speedway riders have always wanted to ride where they want to. Asset system, meant nothing if the rider didn't want to ride for the parent club, can't see this being any different.
