Cue Ball

I don’t think Bates’ fitness or attitude will be a concern for Sheffield. He’s riding for Leicester

3 weeks until tapes up

Did anybody go on Wednesday night? Any good?

Already signed I believe. Damian said last night ‘the seven riders we have signed’ and in a separate conversation Peter Mike said that the team was sorted

Happy with that. Howarth and Nicol to finish would give a nice balance of youth, experience and potential

Proctor and King to Sheffield

Bates signed for Leicester- happy with that, think he will be a risk to have in the team personally

4pm start time Bad enough being on a Sunday (I know and grudgingly accept the reasons), but why 4pm?? Seriously limits what you can do during the day and cocks up family time for me at home. Wife and kids attend very occasionally and that ain’t going to change just because it’s on a Sunday, and now I will miss our main meal. That’s aside from the fact that day time racing tends to be crap and that the atmosphere tends to be as flat as a fart. Disappointing.

Brilliant signing!

Next signing tomorrow morning

Agreed, unlikely to be Lawson after last year. King has the connection with the promotion via Leicester and so is probably the more likely of the 3. I like Schlein but he has had some horrible injuries over the past couple of years and isn’t as young as he used to be. One to be missed I think

Didn’t Ty take a year out a couple of years ago so that he could get a residents visa or something? The year after he got kicked of the country whilst riding for us

Place your bets on who the new no.1 will be...

Zaine Kennedy for Sheffield - he will come in on an average...

Leicester and Sheffield in the same league - didn’t think somebody could own 2 clubs in the same league?

Good

Is it April 1st?

Just wondering... we had gold on the race suits this year given we were the champions, do you think we will have wood grain next year given we've got the wooden spoon?

Think we will have to agree to disagree on this occasion. Barker was no where near him

Thanks - my point was that Tai was shocking in his first GP series attempt too (although I know he had other things going on such as his father’s death to contend with)

Just thinking on the whole ‘is Cook a GP rider or not?’ - how did Woffinden do at his first attempt in the GPs?

on this occasion I don’t think you can blame Barker. From where I was stood he was no where near Ty and didn’t do anything wrong. Ty was on the outside chasing the dirt, went in too hot and slid off, nobody else’s fault.
