Inflated elite league wages which really no club can afford in this country with the gates they get. We'll see in the next couple of years if any of the elite clubs will survive on the receipts verses losses.

Maybe he really meant management team established from last year who know what they're doing?

He's only dropped 1 point to an opponent since he's been with us, and has riden brilliantly with Jake Knight. Just got to stay in contention at this point for the playoffs, if we have a full and fully fit team by then who knows what could happen!

Such a shame for Adam with the world u21's coming up and for both Poole and Eastie.Just as it looks the team is getting settled we get hit with an injury again. I suppose we'll go with guests until Adam recovers but the chances of a guest doing what Bewley did yesterday are quite remote week in week out unfortunately. I suppose Adam was due to miss 4 matches anyway between now and June 18th. Anyway wish him a speedy recovery.

Adam does miss the return match against Rye on the 18th June due to the World Under 21 champs, is that the 3rd one you were thinking of?

Thought heat 13 was probably the best I've seen since we dropped down to the NL. Standing near the start line definitely brought the atmosphere home with me, can still taste the blue and yellow smoke and tyre burn out this morning!

I think he will be so I still think our guest will be Dan Greenwood who although on the losing side has been fast at Kent and Cradley, and doesn't appear to be riding Monday.

Probably will be him then, our strange sport will see him ride against us Saturday and then for us 2 days later!

I did mean a ' gentleman's ' agreement I suppose ( if that's possible! ) not an actual contract, that could hopefully benefit both clubs and the rider. Sure it'll be a guest, R/R would make a win pretty unlikely I would imagine.

Maybe a problem as Wolves and Scunthorpe are both riding Monday, May have to look elsewhere . I think it'll be Dan Greenwood, he's guested for us before.

Bit of a shame as well, we won't have Adam on June 18th against Rye as he's qualified for the World U 21's, he'd have had 2 pretty good heat leaders to race against in Morley and Branford.

If true maybe an agreement with Poole as I think NL teams aren't allowed assets, and perhaps in the future we could be a 'feeder' club like the IOW were a few year's ago . Just a shame we didn't seem to have riders like Tom and BWD coming through when we were in the Elite. I suppose the other side of the coin maybe we're more likely to get the use of riders like Adam Ellis now and others that Poole use in the future but need extra meetings.

You're right because age etc wouldn't be a reason to block the move, can't think what it is at the moment though!

Seems to be the norm now with the people who give NL a go, is happening at Eastbourne as I've found out, hope it continues.

I've noticed his scores have been really good from the start of the season as well. Unusual for a new rider going up to the PL he doesn't seem to have any day's where he scores only 1 or 2. ( That'll happen next meeting now !) Imagine he'll be in the main body of the team soon. As you say , love to see him some point in the season if they did run the Sussex, especially against Adam and Jake.

Back in the Elite league days if Matt Ford had done that against us we'd have been moaning, but true or not seems a great move by Connor to get Jack in and gives Gary a couple of weeks to practice and get machinery sorted.

Agree, and still plenty of room for improvement by both of them.

Mind you Alex most of my posts are edited as you may have noticed due to the same infliction!

On the case even quicker than I thought! They don't hang about do they? Who's Hardis, those fat fingers again?

Surely not! Can't think what you mean?

Be interesting when the first average changes come out,if Nick Phillips has broken his wrist would be good if we can get Luke Harris down at reserve, how many points that would leave to find someone to ride at 2 I'm not sure or who's left out there, as someone else has said maybe Richie if he's recovered from his break? What ever the scenario I'm sure Connor and Martin are on the case!

Great news , gives stability at the top end, will be some other changes to come in the lower order I'm sure before the latter part of the season or injury enforced ones earlier.

Seems like it was,hopefully for Easties sake otherwise it could be tougher than we would like, although I still think we'll win by at least 12.

As long as we get all the points which I'm sure we will, hope he does, think he may end up being their top scorer if he gets 9.
